The20YearIRCloud: don't know, talking to investors and there's a possibility i won't
Vexual: when are you moving to the 70% wage?
The20YearIRCloud: Our average overall will stand at something like $400/btc though, including the original 1,000 BTC we got on BF that was sold when BTC was around $80/btc

Vexual: what did you sell the latest offering @?
The20YearIRCloud: Yield will certanly go down, our equity position overall is pretty great when you factor our average BTC sell price. Big question is when does it correct, how far does the pricing drop? We're still about 20% lower than peaks
Vexual: do you get paid in dollars The20YearIRCloud?
The20YearIRCloud: Really has no effect, but the BTC yield will look crummy at $2500 or more per BTC
Vexual: with the latest offering, what btc price kills your growth?

Vexual: are you using the money yet?
Vexual: The20YearIRCloud: When do you expect to start servicing loans?
The20YearIRCloud: this last one was specifically requested by our largest investor so he could buy shares. I tried to do it outside of havelock but they wouldn't let me

danielpbarron: well, the presentation is incomplete without such a demonstration
jborkl: Rough weekend for the price
dignork: well, you need two computers for that, or hardware crypto gadget (cardano is not there yet)
danielpbarron: wouldn't have taken longer than the unnecessary detour into explaining some localbitcoin thing, which served only to confuse the audience as to how the WoT functions
danielpbarron: it shouldn't be that difficult to demonstrate an offline setup, which is the experience new users should become accustomed with -- especially the kind of people who already think they are hip to crypto
assbot: Authenticity option now available at MCF SF. /davidchang /hashtag/hospitality?src=hash http://t.co/JbYrdnf8x2
danielpbarron: -others // it's bad for Bitcoin

mircea_popescu: "central to the right-wing appeal for generations: that liberalism is a species of madness"
decimation: usd is the original altcoin, afterall
Shakespeare: yeah either way, it's not money you can hide
decimation: whether a 'wire' counts as cash is up to usg of course
decimation: http://www.fincen.gov/news_room/aml_history.html Bank Secrecy Act (1970) Required banks to (1) report cash transactions over $10,000 using the Currency Transaction Report; (2) properly identify persons conducting transactions; and (3) maintain a paper trail by keeping appropriate records of financial transactions
mircea_popescu: other than that, you can put up whatever walls you wish.
TheNewDeal: the question is interesting though. What would the rules be on creating a wall that wasnt executed
mircea_popescu: Shakespeare the rule is you can't put up orders you don't intend to go through.
decimation: but I guarantee a notice went to the bank's regulator
Shakespeare: i moved $30k a few weeks ago, they just made me respond to a message
bounce: without inviting them to sue you on the spot, you mean. you don't get permission, you incriminate yourself and they may or may not persecute you for it.
Shakespeare: i'm just wondering if they have rules about manipulative orders
decimation: sure, inside the account
decimation: you can't even move more than $10k in the us without usg permission
