mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is pioneering internet work, as far as i know never before seen. 1. "here are your options" "omfg i am a special snowflake i won't take any of those" ; 2. "you have no options" "omfg i shoulds have some options!!" "you had."
mircea_popescu: about as common experience of the contemporary mind as gods walking the earth.

trinque: asciilifeform: whatcha mean by vmerge tree?
trinque: no, that's way too ambitious for first release. first release is just a vtronic ebuild tree
trinque: but that's certainly the way to go
trinque is hamstrung on some irl items atm, but will be working towards release this weekend if not sooner.

mod6: In other news: Today is BingoBoingo's first day as Pizarro Manager. Congrats to him! We'll be working closely together to ensure a smooth transition over the next few months.
mod6: He has accepted the rate of 1 BTC per year for this role.
mod6: So that's: 0.41666667 BTC
mod6: I propose that's what we pay ben_vulpes for his services; five months, February through June. And, I propose a possible consulting fee for his assistance on the books going forward.
mod6: We have set a price point for the month at Pizarro as well, that price is: $6745 USD/BTC
mod6: BingoBoingo will begin sending out invoices within 24 hours, for the month of September. If you need a price quote before they go out, I can arrange that.
mod6: The exception will be, I will invoice BingoBoingo myself as one can not invoice himself (at least, I don't think you can)?

mod6: mircea_popescu: ah, well, I'll have him give it a try then.

mod6: diana_coman: nice pics
mod6: Also, another bit of news: I've completed a draft of the Pizarro report. We're needed three more pieces of information and a second pair of eyes for review before it can be published. We're on it.
mod6: Also in the news, Pizarro has fully paid the "Wildcat Bonus" to BingoBoingo. The remainder was $2500. This has been shown on Pizarro statements in the "Fiat Liabilities" table. It will appear on the August statement as well. The payment was made September 1st. So look for that line to come off the fiat liabilities table when the September report is posted in early October.
mod6: How we doin with the drive shipment btw?
mod6: very nice, thank you in advance.
ben_vulpes: so mod6 you want to pay me for services already rendered?
mod6: That's what I was thinking ya. So instead of 1 BTC for a whole year, as previously agreed, we'd pay ya for the months that you served.
mod6: And going forward, we'd figure out a price upon which you could consult.
mod6: Does that seem fair?
ben_vulpes: not that i want to not get paid, but i don't recall a previous agreement
mod6: Really? I'm almost certain that somewhere we said 1 BTC for doing the manager role.
ben_vulpes: it's a sticky position, being stuck between my jewish scruples and having zero desire to ding the isp pointlessly.
ben_vulpes: should probably just take the loot lest anyone accuse me of virtue signaling!
mod6: Oooh, I see what it is. In the charter you were to be assigned 100`000 SSW at a per share price of 0.00001 BTC each.
mod6: Hmm, well, I didn't want to just leave it out there forever, unanswered either. So, let me know what you want to do, and we'll discuss in here.
mod6: Take your time, doesn't have to be immediately or anything.
ben_vulpes: mod6: i'm pretty sure that we're all squared up.
mod6: No, not at all. I just don't want it to go unanswered either. For insance, it'd be fine with me (asciilifeform?) to simply just take 41`666 shares instead. mircea_popescu can we do that?
mod6: *for you to just take
ben_vulpes: nono, warrants are the right to purchase shares from the corporation at a price.
mod6: oh i'm cocking this all up arnt i.
ben_vulpes: should i exercise them, the corporation takes in the btc i pay for them and adds them to the cap table.
ben_vulpes: i believe it's topologically identical to a call option that doesn't expire with a strike price of the "per share price".
☟︎ mod6: Ok, so we're alright then eh - just wanna leave 'em on there.
mod6: I kinda had forgotten that we did shares. Just had it in my mind that we owed you 1 BTC as of Feb 1. or something.
mod6: yeah, it was the SSWs. Totally forgot.
mod6: Sorry for the bother.
mod6: That makes it easy anyway :D
ben_vulpes: i'm mock offended at the notion i'd let a liability kick around off sheet
mod6: I'd like to commend ben_vulpes on his instructions that he gave to Pizarro for how to do the monthly report. It really got me through it -- and made it easy.
mod6: It took some time, and I don't even begin to claim that I know -everything-, but I'm learning each time, and getting better at it. Kuddos to him for doing that.
ben_vulpes: once you understand double entry accounting it's not so difficult; glad the documentation made your life easier.
mod6: im so hungry i could eat a sandwich from the gas station
mircea_popescu: in any case, a ssw assignment is not the same as a cash payment.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-06 02:25 ben_vulpes: i believe it's topologically identical to a call option that doesn't expire with a strike price of the "per share price".
mircea_popescu: anyway, you want to pro-rate his warrants, you can do that. you want to kick them off the sheet altogether, "didn't complete a term", you can also do that. you want to let them ride, "whatever, he can have the lot", you can also do that.
mod6: Thanks for the info and consideration, Sir.
