11:09 mircea_popescu !Qlater tell lobbes yet i noticed you've not provided an eta.
11:09 lobbesbot mircea_popescu: The operation succeeded.
11:10 mircea_popescu absence is meaningful, you understand, and what that absence means here is "not worth the mention", which in turn translates to "may default to any reasonable value of your choosing" which in this case means to me "definite;y done by saturday". because that's what i want it to be.
11:10 mircea_popescu so saturday we'll be having the same discussion in the same terms, "why have you [implicitly] promised something you didn't deliver", which is just not a good way to go about things.
11:11 mircea_popescu consider that the "top of hopper" item ALSO means, and what it means in this context is "i've not done anything for two weeks seeing how i've not yet touched my top of hopper" "but mp... i got distracted..." "then WHY do you even have a top of hopper concept, if distraction's the law of the land ?"
11:12 mircea_popescu because unlike the empire, where they speak to feel good, like birds chirping, the republic has the log and the mechanism of inference, one can very effectually land self in soup. all it takes is apply the "i want everyone to be happy" imperial process for a few passes, until you've loaded yourself into such a ball of inference no one can possibly managed.
11:16 mircea_popescu so don't do that. instead, see diana_coman 's theoretical work on managing this (ie http://www.dianacoman.com/2018/02/06/its-only-words-and-assumptions-and-priorities-and-ouch/ ) and take for instance Mocky 's very effectual style ( http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-07-22.log.html#t13:56:10 / http://logs.minigame.biz/2018-07-25.log.html#t19:48:59 etc ). doodn's managed 27 builds of a mining bot NONE OF WHICH WORK to date and i'm

11:38 a111 Logged on 2018-07-26 01:37 mod6: *nod* was just hoping to find that btc/fiat price. I never did find it. Roughly, I think the price was about $6800 when it would have transpired. But I'll give others a chance to chime on this before I make a June invoice for The Foundation.

12:19 a111 Logged on 2018-07-25 01:59 mod6: All, one thing that I didn't know that I even had to do, was publish the price at which the this months auction for pizarro took place. It all transpired on July 10th, and the price that was used was $6800.
12:19 trinque I'm not going to eat 1300 of spread here
12:20 mod6 Everyone is being invoiced this way.
12:21 mod6 This is how ben_vulpes has been doing it, by using the price point set from the btc/fiat sale
12:21 trinque how convenient for you, to choose when to do that sale... ?
12:22 mod6 It was done early in the month, when the price was what it was. If you had be properly invoiced at that time, what then?
12:23 mod6 (these invoices are coming in way late -- should have been done as soon as the price point was set)
12:23 trinque the invoice date is moving around on me, so how can I say
12:23 trinque so when are we doing invoices going forward

12:25 deedbot Get your OTP: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/JcjNk/?raw=true
12:25 ben_vulpes invoice date will be right after mod6 clears sale of btc and produces a price signal going forward
12:26 trinque ben_vulpes: that is not a date
12:26 trinque that's a "whenever I want"
12:26 trinque schedule the auction, with an end date, and next day is invoice day
12:26 ben_vulpes so mod6 when does the august auction close?
12:26 jurov !!v 2795FE64784943C43FD144E100E7899984215F24F9CB1331E4D3DC7317B283D7
12:26 deedbot jurov paid mod6 invoice 2
12:27 mod6 i know it sounds ideal to say, for instance, "auction closes on 10th of month", "invoices will start going out on the 11th". However, there is no way to know if the auction will be completed. At this time, it's a very touch-and-go thing.
12:27 mod6 jurov: Thanks!
12:27 mircea_popescu trinque the concept is sound, "i'm not eating random spreads", but in practice, a) do you specifically want to repurchase what you spend in short time or at optimuim price ? ie, "you bought all you were going to buy at 6k, what do you care".
12:27 mircea_popescu i do the same thing btw, repurchase spends.
12:28 trinque want these goofs to schedule the invoices.
12:28 mircea_popescu that for sure.
12:28 mircea_popescu wasn't discussing the instant thing, but the broader problem of wtf we do.
12:28 mircea_popescu ie, your complaint has broader teeth i suspect.
12:29 ben_vulpes mod6: if invoice day is the 15th on a month, figure you can close the auction before then?
12:29 mod6 there is no way to tell.
12:29 trinque yeah, really matters which way the market is moving, whether I want to stock up first, or replenish after
12:30 trinque mod6: what auction doesn't have an end date?
12:30 mircea_popescu anyway, part of the problem is that the saw teeth are a little overlarge, basically. too few auctions.
12:30 mircea_popescu trinque he doesn't know when lobbes has the auction ready lol.
12:31 mod6 it's not only that, it's just trying to get the whole thing organized and sent down there. This month, I had it all done by the 10th. With plently of time to spare to get invoices out by the 15th.
12:31 mircea_popescu actually, let's suppose i found a solution here :
12:32 mod6 But who is to say that I don't get hit by a bus on AUgust 4th, and then it's not complete in time.
12:32 trinque can still make a commitment and after that we're still people who communicate
12:33 mircea_popescu !Qauction 1bn 168 8.2k wFF q0
12:33 lobbesbot AUCTION # 338 STARTED by mircea_popescu: 8.2k wFF q0 Opening: 1bn coppers Ending: 2018-08-03 16:33:06 UTC (168 hours)
12:33 mod6 The fact is, until we have a steady stream of usd coming in, I hesitate to put a date on it -- can only say at this time, "will do best to have them out as soon as we can after the auction". It's my fault that I didn't start invoicing right away. I mearly did not, because I thought that these were sent at the end of the month.
12:33 mircea_popescu the above wFF denotes wired filthy fiats ; winner gets the chunk wired to details of his specification at that point.
12:34 trinque !Qhelp
12:34 lobbesbot trinque: http://lobbesblog.com/lobbesbotcommands
12:34 mircea_popescu there is some wiggle room in the sense that banks are unreliable and so if it does come out it's impossible to wire as intended, the trade just unwinds.
12:34 mircea_popescu delivery within ~2weeks from date of closing, because wtf can you do.
12:36 trinque yeah, my first invoice was based on the WU I sent
12:37 trinque mod6: I understand there are challenges; I'm also trying to be a model customer for you, and while I generally trust you to do sensible things, $invoiceDate = rand() isn't be great for your business either.
12:38 trinque there are a finite amount of "the interface slipped thousands of funnybux between auction and invoice" that I will eat, and I will proably eat more of them than other customers that don't know you as well
12:39 trinque fair or not, it's a problem you have
12:49 trinque another thing to consider is whether you're encouraging people to pay for 12mos of service upfront. it buys you runway, puts some extra cash in your hand for adspend or w/e serves bringing on more customers. right now I'm compelled to wait another month at month to month to see what the spread is next month, and you have a bit less cash to wield.

12:51 mod6 Once you raised your objection, I haven't sent in the !!v yet.
12:51 trinque ah got it
12:52 trinque I'm willing to pay this one and move forward, just giving feedback for next time
12:56 mod6 Alright, sounds good. I appreciate that. I have notes on this; will ensure that invoices go out immedately after btc/fiat auction is complete and price point published. This should help everyone involved.
