ninjashogun: chetty, why do you think I have to spend my own money to get six-figure investments from them? Couldn't I just send a prospectus and have them wire some cash? It doesn't work like that. You need to do a TON and have a ton of meetings with them, sohw them EVERYTHING in minute detail.
indiancandy1: and it wil take me there
ninjashogun: they will help you
ninjashogun: you get only stories about founders (like me) being the ones to get scammed by the people who supposedly hvae the money. Why is that? Because due dilligence is actually quite easy to perform.
ninjashogun: chetty - I will also say this. How come VC's (venture capitalists) don't get scammed - when they write six, and seven-figure checks? If you Google "vc's scammed":
FabianB: indiancandy1: msg that to NickServ, not in this channel and without the < and >
ninjashogun: cazalla, now you also see why if you've never invested in anything or anyone, why I don't want to offer to be the first.
ninjashogun: cazalla - btw the above - linking "Contact - Australian Federal Police" - is exactly why I call this channel useless trolls. It takes about 15 seconds of talking with me to determine who I am and what I'm doing.
ninjashogun: chetty - yes, I agree. If you want to give money but have no references, they're the only ones who will take it from you.
ninjashogun: chetty - money is easy. Finding people who are interested in building something together and have the connections to help is harder.
chetty: ususally the one asking for money gives references
cazalla: just explain your scheme to them
ninjashogun: cazalla, I might still be able to work with you. Maybe if this would be a first investment for you, you can team up with someone from here and do it together.
ninjashogun: cazalla - the issue is, I don't know. You could waste weeks of my time. (It's happened before - that's post-closing documents. meaning, everything has been agreed and closed.)
ninjashogun: If this would be the first time you invested in anything/anyone then we might still proceed but I'd like to know this ahead of time.
ninjashogun: cazalla - yes, absolutely. For cost reasons we could start by skype first. (You'll also see the name of one!)
cazalla: ninjashogun: can you call me to discuss further?
Dekker3D: So I'm trying to find an easy way to get her into the web of trust.
Dekker3D: She'll need to exchange bitcoin for gbp at some point, which would likely require #bitcoin-otc. Which requires registration in the web of trust, afaik. And if she wants to earn more with shenanigans, as this other girl did, then she'll also likely need to be in the web of trust.
ninjashogun: The second one is in a really huge market - even before it had a NAME it had offers at high six-figure valuations, however I wanted to be able to pursue both of them.
ninjashogun: thanks. They're both high-tech startups, albeit of two different kinds. The public pastebin doesn't include too much informatoin but of course I expect you to learn about both. They're both just doing their seed rounds now - the first acutaly already has assigned IP, etc, and has developed (the basics of) interesting technology. As it's hardware, it's quite hard to seed and we need to keep vigilant about stealth but I c
FabianB: if you have bitcoin-qt for example and can sign with the address
Dekker3D: It seems I can register on the web of trust using a bitcoin address instead of a gpg key?
Dekker3D: Ah. She knows more about mircea's shenanigans then?
chetty: Dekker3D, I think only MP can answer about the true purpose of what he does
Dekker3D: By the way, if I may ask: is the whole "0.1 btc for a pic of tits" thing like a promotional stunt to get hot chicks in here, or is it just what it says it is?
Dekker3D: She's the same one from last time.
ninjashogun: For some reference, to set expectations, in the other channel (-otc) I've gotten bids on part of the money as low as 1.6x. However, the starting bid for the whole thing was something crazy.
ninjashogun: Oh, no the bid is on $30K, what multpile covers your risk (and a timeframe). I can tell you more about both comapnies of course - and feel free to PM.
ninjashogun: cazalla - we can talk about it. We can actually escrow it, you can send it straight to some of the legal services involved, when I meet with VC's (you can come!) you can pay for some of the costs, and legal review of the closing docs we're given. These are the major expenses.
ninjashogun: I mean "low-multiple bids", e.g. not something crazy like a very high number of x. However, I realize that the istuation may be seen to include some risk, so bid whatever you want.
cazalla: where do i send the money?
ninjashogun: cazalla, welll, here you go then :)
moiety: quite scared to look at the logs
chetty: actually someone did the pw thing yesterday and it was nicely pointed out they should now change their pw
ninjashogun: it's kind of weird how you guys have all the money, and they're the ones who are serious.
ninjashogun: lol yeah, luckily they're nice people and changed it for me rather than troll. can't imagine what would have happened in tihs channel.
gribble: The operation succeeded.

mircea_popescu: After returning to Washington, the chief investigator wrote a scathing report to State Department officials documenting misconduct by Blackwater employees and warning that lax oversight of the company, which had a contract worth more than $1 billion to protect American diplomats, had created an environment full of liability and negligence.
mircea_popescu: American Embassy officials in Baghdad sided with Blackwater rather than the State Department investigators as a dispute over the probe escalated in August 2007, the previously undisclosed documents show. The officials told the investigators that they had disrupted the embassys relationship with the security contractor and ordered them to leave the country, according to the reports.
mircea_popescu: WASHINGTON Just weeks before Blackwater guards fatally shot 17 civilians at Baghdads Nisour Square in 2007, the State Department began investigating the security contractors operations in Iraq. But the inquiry was abandoned after Blackwaters top manager there issued a threat: that he could kill the governments chief investigator and no one could or would do anything about it as we were in Iraq,

sexy_saffron: bitcoin is just the best way to do business, hands down
pankkake: I don't understand it either :p
pankkake: gpg requires finding the appropriate GUIs too
moiety: mircea_popescu: thing is though... i feel anyways, if they took ten minutes to learn btc, they cant take ten to learn gpg? especially if it supports their business in the way their clients seek?
moiety: well this is what i was thining pankkake ... i left it out because i felt it actually went against my reasoning for setting up gpg and i dont want to sound hypocritical. wee bit on the end or should leave as is?
