2014-04-24 fluffypony CheckDavid: there is actually some precedent - I have a very good friend who moved here from Sweden to sell industrial cleaning equipment/supplies. he knows the cost of the product, and dependent on the size of the sale he can offer a discount to the client. his comm is based on the "profit" in that it's (sales - cost of sales), so he won't offer a discount on small sales but might determine it worthwhile reducing his comm on a larger sale #trilema

2014-04-23 fluffypony kakobrekla: well, it's also a cheaper proposition - our market isn't only people-with-$$$, the BOINC/Folding@Home crowd need better cooling than 20cm fans in an ATX case but they can't afford / don't want to spend money on water cooling or mineral oil immersion #trilema

2014-04-23 fluffypony BingoBoingo: must we type quietly? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony early attempts were "just watch the blockchain", but altcoins implementations are so ridiculous #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: yeah I know, I struggled with the dynamics for a while before settling on "just poll the daemon" #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony (listreceivedbyaddress shows a "running total", of sorts, so you have to know what the previous value was to spot that it's changed, but that's trivial" #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony and once an amount is available in an address for the minimum number of confs it's in the json #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony so we poll that #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: getting back to what you were saying - listreceivedbyaddress <minconf=1> <includeempty=false> #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony thanks for all the input everyone #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: ok cool, I'll start reworking #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: have you worked with listreceivedbyaddress at all? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: sure, but we aren't watching transactions #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: so then would it be better to 1. keep everything in but stagger the funding (eg. 100k now, another 100k when X milestones reached, etc.), or 2. take stuff out and then seek further funding later #trilema
2014-04-23 * fluffypony ponders #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: doesn't matter, we're expecting 0.5 to address X, not to the "wallet" as a whole #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: appreciate the input, I'll work a bit more on splitting it out #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: we watch the address for the amount requested; if it appears we know it's paid, if it doesn't (wrong amount, too late) we can't "contact the client" to let them know - they have to contact us and say "ohai, I screwed up" #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: if someone makes a late payment, for eg.? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony doesn't have to be completely fresh #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: kind-of - a payment is only possible for 15 mins, so an address can be re-used every few hours #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: because I've done most of the underlying work, it's just front-end crap that needs to be done #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: not a chance #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony mrstickball: the frames etc. #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: yes #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony separate the entities #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ok so then I split it out #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony the exchange can be required to KYC us as the depositer #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony we aren't required (right now) to KYC to receive crypto #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony well #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony oh AML #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: if a country banned inter-crypto trades that would affect the exchange primarily? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes - get them to add it there and you can buy votes :-P #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: I would write them a strongly worded letter! #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony this is between us and the exchange #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony the coins are already confirmed on our side #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: how? they don't have our privkey to double-spend #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony before they're confirmed, yes #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony *back to 0 #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony when the deposit confirms on the exchange it goes 0 ATC #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony when the trade happens our account on the exchange goes -100 ATC +0.5 BTC #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony in other words #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony eventual consistency :-P #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony if the send fails we go into negative that is caught up later #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony they do the trade the second we initiate the send #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: it's not 0-conf to us, it's 0-conf between us and them #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ok cool #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony 35% #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony first sentence under Company Structure #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony "OpenRigs is member of the GearTribe group of companies, of which Riccardo Spagni is one of the group directors" #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I'll double check #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I did at the beginning I think #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: yes #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony and a bunch of other companies #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: no - the GearTribe Group, has a 5% stake in OpenRigs #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: the Bee was only for the .ee domain hack #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: I draw a salary at a group level #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony yeah, so that's placeholder branding then :-P #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I'll get the designer to rethink it #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony lol #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: yes - I've got deeper numbers on that that I can include, didn't know if it would be info overload #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony we could probably negotiate wire fees with our bank's Forex dept., but I still think we'd be paying a penalty #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: local exchange has 10BTC daily volume, so we'd have to do BitStamp -> us -> international wire #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony stay in crypto and we can pretty much do whatever we want #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony so the minute we go into fiat we become a financial services provider #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: nope - official stance from the SARB (reserve bank) is - "Bitcoin has no legal status or a regulatory framework." #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony here it's a ball-ache #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony we'd have to register as a financial services provider and a deposit taking institution #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: then we have regulatory issues to deal with #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony it's just been my experience that customers get excited about the most arbitrary stuff #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony we have both #trilema

2014-04-23 fluffypony mike_c: TimeKoin? :-P #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: no, I know one of the guys that is involved with it, but no affiliation beyond that #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony because they're not bound by the confines of "what is the most profitable" bullshit #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony in fact, there's more experimentation with stuff like that being done by the OCLHashCat guys than in the mining community #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: scrypt-n and X11 based coins will still need miners, and the BOINC/Folding@Home crowd will need it to #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: how else do you do it then? as an LoC? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony *occurances #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: I changed that to "apportioning net profit" later, forgot to search for earlier occurancess #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony it was more in terms of avoiding scammy pre-orders (mitigating risk) in that space #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony fair enough #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I can make that clearer in the proposal #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I don't want to "grow the farm" #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: I like getting stuck into the technical stuff with it, sure, but it *is* a means to an end #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ok #trilema
2014-04-23 * fluffypony notes #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: yes, but when you're mining scamcoins and dumping them it's always reasonably profitable :-P #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: it's from here - http://shrinkthatfootprint.com/average-electricity-prices-kwh #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony but GPU mining yes, I have a few years of historical data #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ASICs certainly aren't, better to flip them #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I can add that #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony just not full of numbers #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony not hiding it, it's mentioned and detailed, and even obvious in the graph #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony or whether I'll end up explaining why so much it'll be pages of cruft #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: it's purposely light on numbers, I'm not sure whether including all the data on the downward slump inspires investor confidence #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: we weren't able to, the dude that rents them is dumb and only lets you observe, not take actual data (although with the new camera he has apparently he'll give us pics and data after) #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: we did FLIR imaging when designing, we're waiting for the FLIR camera to be available for rent again so we can have that data accessible #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: point #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ok good point #trilema
2014-04-23 * fluffypony ponders #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony cooling containers? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: not so much on the frames side, they're too small to mention, but for PayBee yes #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: yes exactly #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: the whole point of PayBee is *not* to do fiat directly, tho - once the funds are in BTC it goes straight into the merchant's Bitpay account #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: yep #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony they were just the most willing to make the API changes we needed and they have the volume #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony Naphex: Cryptsy, but it's fairly agnostic to the exchange #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: as in "opened for business", will rephrase #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ah good point #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony not enough BFL #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony MtBee? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony meh, branding is easy to change on that #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I didn't think of it that way #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony lol #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony but did everything else #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: pretty much everything you suggested, I kept PayBee in as I don't want to split it out into an entity on its own just yet #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ThickAsThieves: that's exactly it, it's a means to an end #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony (bearing in mind it's a fiat business, not a BTC business per se, so it's not meant to compete with a pure BTC business) #trilema

2014-04-23 fluffypony if anyone has a few mins I'd like a sanity check before I send it out to interested people #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I'm looking for a bit of seed funding to expand and grow OpenRigs, benkay took a looksie at a previous version of my proposal and made some suggestions (which I've incorporated) #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony ok so #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony encrypted HAM? #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I think if they haven't signed in to iCloud/iMessage from an iOS device it takes them off the active list or whatevs #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony and it doesn't offer the blue iMessage option or anything any longer #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony I have a friend that switched from iOS to Android in October #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony benkay: ok no wait that's not right #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony yeah, I resigned myself to sacrificing all measure of privacy the minute I got my Nokia N95 and realised all the crap that could go on in the background #trilema
2014-04-23 * fluffypony chuckles #trilema
2014-04-23 fluffypony that's when they "surprise" you with a visit to your house, right? #trilema
