(trilema) ben_vulpes: apologies for the degredation in service, i have personal irc logs and will stitch them back into history
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: tyvm for bringing that to my attention. i dropped the ball on service cutover. as mp astutely observed, the temporary host for these services is not a cuntoo, but some heathen convenience, conveniently different enough from my normal remote home that the logger for the ircbot refused to start, which (somehow!!!!!) fouled the bot's self reboot capabilities.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: heh see thread with asciilifeform
(trilema) ben_vulpes: "ensure access to the mainline set of patches" was the best i ever came up with for an operating thesis.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: on the thread of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-30#1855797, upon meditation, tbf was willing to host kids' projects at various points. didn't, in the case of lobbes, because he didn't take funding. kids ever-declining cost next to tbfs kitty inclines me to continue considering these projects.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: is there some fetlife for nerds funnel under optimization?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so then what loss? if heathen has changed religion what are they doing out of church
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mm, i didn't mean to suggest 'republic only' trb net. it is however a pretty sane client for the extant network, and perhaps there is value in gating access to such a gem from teh hoi polloi. what with trinque's impending hotwallet patches and his demonstration of their value with trb services, the gem will become only of more value.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i do not advocate that tbf hide the sauce away, dun fear
(trilema) ben_vulpes: inner popscu suggests "what, as if its used by anyone outside the republic anyways? if joe blow wants a sane client (which republicans should be mentioning in their blogs etc), he can join the republic and ask for the vpatches." but perhaps i'm undercalibrated.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: did what, as far as mod6 and i could tell, it needed to.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (elsewhere, saws buzz, coats of poly are applied, a decade of life-dross triaged and arrangements made to ship the most-valued and useful posessions across the continent continue...)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: it also carves off an unsightly imho pantsuit wart upon the side of the republic, a "non-profit organization" with names and caftans etc.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: this has the advantage of aligning tbf with how things actually work in the republic, as driven forward by the hands of those doing the work.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: for that reason, largely only spending cash on hosting services. recently also a few hardware nodes. it creates work for mod6 in the vein of the monthly reports. perhaps a nutty suggestion, but it could cleanly be wound down (the charter modified), and mod6 to continue the monthly reports on his blog.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: by and large i saw the responsibility to ensure that the reference bitcoin client source stayed available to the republic, although at the time i recall a more "to everyone" flavor in my own thinking.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: nono, warrants are the right to purchase shares from the corporation at a price.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: it's a sticky position, being stuck between my jewish scruples and having zero desire to ding the isp pointlessly.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: not selling, leasing on, incomplete upgrades are a pretty serious ding in negotiation.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: ah ah, well i started on the fence *first* and then i decided to move.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i also happen to enjoy my privacy.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: oh no, this is a statal bezzle where the local cps takes "at risk" children and sells them to "foster care". statal human trafficking ring.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: aha, "child protective services"

(trilema) ben_vulpes: is this why you're always going on about san antonio?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: im also evaluating this claim that the lone star state is somehow not the same thin plastic veneer over zamac the rest of the country's made of. it at least has endogenous oil stores and the locals carry a reputation for being profit minded
(trilema) ben_vulpes: a bit, yeah. i've also lived in the same libtard shithole for nigh on three decades at this point; far past time to meet the rest of america.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: the inane shit occupying my time instead of republican efforts is embarrassingly trivial, but since you ask: i'm moving to texas, and so now must wrap fence that was supposed to be a two-season relaxed affair by mid september; throw out a decade+ of crap that i shouldn't have been so lax as to let stick around in the first place, pack my whole existence into transpocubes, get it moved to the

(trilema) ben_vulpes: i'm not entirely clear as to the benefits of depreciation under the tmsr accounting regime; most of my experience has to do with optimizing tax treatment in fiatlandia which is irrelephant here

(trilema) ben_vulpes: a bitcent says that's the difference between purchased usd and expenses denominated in usd, redenominated in btc.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: some .04 btc discrepancy from the report
(trilema) ben_vulpes: !Qcalc 0.46713262+0.3+(0.02129452+0.03333333+0.00901087)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: right, so factor out the invariant and let's calculate the net change since that's where we'll find discrepancies.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i mean to say that the .3 btc was spent on usd, some fraction of which was not in turn spent on expenses.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: first off, the .3 btc was spent on cash
(trilema) ben_vulpes: how about we just look at the net change, first
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (to be used in next months reports, etc. hence "reports as ground truth and not your account balance")
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ayup, this is how the bottom-of-the-report tables work: summing the previous months values against the current months values to derive a current number.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: (the 10.4 under discussion)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: calculated per "sum the value of all non-capitalized purchases (DC, fiat spent denominated in BTC, and the sum of depreciation charges), and mark that as net change for intangibles and goodwill"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: sum of previous month's goodwill and this month's goodwill
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: what is unclear about that line?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: derp 10.4, not 9.4
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: 10.4 is more of a note about what happens in various scenarios than instructions relevant to anything happening in this month's report
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so accounting's job is to provide a reasonable, non-malicious estimate of that value, and let investors perform their own valuation based on whether they think that a high or low value for the tangible in question.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: yeah, keep in mind that the tangibles line is, again per "Accounting for the nonzero asset corporation" "any and all assets that could reasonably be expected to be exchangeable for BTC, even if at a loss"
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i do not think that this coupling is necessary, however. a photo of the exchange rate from BingoBoingo at the same cambio on the 27th every month may be adequate.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: value for the previous month's closing value of the uyu/btc rate (which is also the opening rate for the next month)
(trilema) ben_vulpes: the past two statements i have pulled that value from xe or forex.com at the time of statement generation. if you want to couple the UYU/USD price timing to that of the USD/BTC price timing, you'd have to hold off on issuing the previous month's statement until you have a btc price signal /for the month after the statement/, and then ask BingoBoingo what the uyu/usd rate is on that day in order to provide a
(trilema) ben_vulpes: we're talking tiny amounts of btc, but good process and understanding are important at the outset to forestall tears later, so bear with me
(trilema) ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-05#1839607 there is a fine point here, that this is notionally a "closing-of-the-month" value for the UYU
(trilema) ben_vulpes: scuse me, fiat tangibles.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: i did not update that row after using the wrong conversion factor for fiat liabilities on my first pass; thank you for spotting that
(trilema) ben_vulpes: let me sum assets again.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: can prorate depreciation if you'd like, i elected not to.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: for what it's worth, i twice audited holdings while generating statements and they both came out correct. i suggest you use the statement generation process (combing through ledger/invoice output) to generate statements first, and audit against your personal accounts as a check.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: anyways yes, if you want to audit the correctness of the statement against the value of cash held on behalf of pizarro, you will have to deduct your personal transactions from whatever account pizarro transactions flow in order to calculate a correct number.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: nothing stops you from doing this
(trilema) ben_vulpes: book truth lies in the statements; it is useful to verify that the cash line is correct but i would use it as a check, not the starting point from which to generate statements given a) payment timing b) personal use of accounts
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ding ding ding, okay.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: oh, this is summing accounts and pulling your change out of your deedbot balance?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: what is that .08 you're subtracting out?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: usd/uyu are fiat assets. get booked as tangibles. see the tangibles table.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: no hang on, no. btc is the only cash.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: more accurately it's cash + tangibles, and various fiats are tangible assets.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: you may want to check your account history, BingoBoingo is also sitting on 0.2 of pizarro's btc
(trilema) ben_vulpes: check to see if it's the difference between our btc values of uyu
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: the UYU book value will indeed fluctuate based on what number you use for the usd/uyu exchange rate
(trilema) ben_vulpes: why even stay on freenode?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo mod6 asciilifeform: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/6dB0R/?raw=true << detailed walkthrough of how i've been generating reports for pizarro, along with trial report for july. will doublecheck numbers tomorrow and finalize.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: billing as soon as the price signal is set avoids further waffling over spread between when price signal is set and when bills go out. necessarily entails a move to billing in advance.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: note he did not say that he was pissed, quite the contrary.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: you're doing a great job, don't hang yourself over a term of art.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: arrears are for services rendered already.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: everything is kosher, trinque wants clarity on arrears vs advance. what you are doing is billing in advance.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: no, what you have just done is bill for august service at the beginning of august.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: trinque has it, mod6 is billing in advance now.

(trilema) ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: now that you have the buttbox do you plan to rent the cowork desk in perpetuity?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: i miscalculated (under) the outgoing fiat total for pizarro last month by 186 USD; is the correct way to resolve that in this months statement to add an outgoing "adjustment" charge?

(trilema) ben_vulpes: douchebag: and you think that pantsuit press coverage instead of hosing their boxen is the key to fame fortune and a seat in tmsr?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: one can pay annually, but the discount is for quarterly up-front payments: 25%.
(trilema) ben_vulpes: mod6: if invoice day is the 15th on a month, figure you can close the auction before then?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: so mod6 when does the august auction close?
(trilema) ben_vulpes: invoice date will be right after mod6 clears sale of btc and produces a price signal going forward
(trilema) ben_vulpes: sacrifices the public verifiability of "all foundation funds in addrx" but i don't know that's so valuable; foundation addr could just be the proverbial tip hat with some change in it and the curious are directed to read statements
