I expect anyone willing to do this would make way more money just working as a stripper, and there they probably don't have to clean anything. How much are you planning on charging for this service?

Whatever the market bares.  Grin

My first attempt at the parody. Only one minor error, and it could have been worded just a tad tighter, but... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OznV2kdlgiE

Created for humor purposes only. Consider any truisms a coincidence.

To be fair I don't know if the newbies can post in off topic so.

Good call! I'm going to the Korean section (I assume it's South) and wish Matthew a Merry Christmas.

Done!

Never mind that other 4800 sq feet that's mentioned, we'll conveniently ignore that because you can't possibly rearrange the inside of a building to suit your needs...(conveniently left off the rest of this sentence)

I didn't ignore it, for I needed it for the equation 6000 - 4800 = 1200. Your carefully worded post doesn't specifically state that such a remodel occurred. Assuming though that's the case, a permit is available. Unlike a private lease agreement, a permit is public record, therefore there should be no problem on BFL's end posting an image of said permit.

I'll go one better: If BFL posts an image of a permit depicting a remodel at 10770 El Monte #101, I will never post another remark about BFL again as long as they remain a viable entity.

I'll even put in my sig what everybody else has, showcasing BFL until the day ASIC products are delivered plus 30 days thereafter--without any disclaimers or any other info. Just a BFL ad like all others.

I would say that that's a pretty generous offer.

But no image of permit = no remodel = only 1200 SF of flex space = I am correct in my assessment. Your move!

FYI: I'm getting a Chrome alert when trying to access page 3 of this thread. Something to do with ladyomega.com. I seriously don't have a clue what it's about, but may be important.
It's a dangerous website warning by Chrome. Google's robots picked up problems at ladyomega.com.

And no matter what I click on their warning page, Google won't let view page 3. I'm not sure about the other pages with the exception of this one and 1 & 2. Nor can I view ALL pages as a whole.

BTW, there's nothing special on Page 3 I was trying to get at. I was just perusing the thread looking at the logo designs.

Included for now, but PayPal is one word and not Pay pals. Redo, so I can change the pic in Post #2.

This was actually intentional - a word play on PayPal suggesting you can pay friends (pay a pal) and businesses rather than using the brand PayPal (or any other similar payment provider). If it wins (which is unlikely) I'm happy to turn it into PayPal if that is more to the point and less confusing.


I like this, but there's that word 'is' again. I'm going to do a mock-up based on this and submit in your name.


Thanks, this is a mock version of the mastercard slogan which uses "there is" - that's why, but your E-Prime version works fine. Thanks making and including it.

The play on words IS a nice aspect of your design. Sorry that I overlooked it.

You like this one better? so i can make the picture in case you find it better:


Bitcoin, the evolution way to freedom.
A global and carefree transaction system.
WITHOUT BANKS.

or maybe adding the (r) too.


Bitcoin, the (r)evolution way to freedom.
A global and carefree transaction system.
WITHOUT BANKS.

shorter and nice too:

Bitcoin, the evolution towards freedom.
Global carefree transaction currency,
WITHOUT BANKS.


Regardless of which one is used, you'll hold title to all the variants on the same theme, including mine and others' input on this submission. That said, personally I'm leaning toward the following:

Bitcoin, the (r)evolution/ary
path to freedom,
delivering a global
secure payment system.

 
WITHOUT BANKS

Second, if he doesn't want to talk about it then don't come hurling insults at us for it. Some of the stuff he has called "LIES, DIRTY LIES!!" actually turned out to be true.

It's actually worse than that to my mind. The BFL reps quoted seem to want to increase BFL's credibility by posting soundbites that require no proof whatsoever, which is fine by itself, but then when someone questions the inconsistencies in those posts they're attacked as idiots and/or stalkers by BFL's failure of a COO/PR frontman and a band of BFL supporters.

How can one be a stalker when the relevant information was posted by a BFL employee on an open forum? PG is simply fact checking a post made by a BFL rep, there's absolutely nothing inappropriate or creepy about it. There's a whole lot of money on the line here, and blindly accepting what any company employees say without proof can prove to be a very costly mistake.

Now you're pissing me off by posting truisms. Remember, I can find out who you are and where you live and am not afraid to post it. If I can't find you, I'll simply post vitals of some random guy I'll find on the internet and claim it's you.

Humor aside, nice post.

Since when did the square footage of a warehouse or some such information become a proprietary secret? Unless they have dangling trained monkeys with a 3D assembly line the only thing they might have to hide is just another f-kup. (err, I mean another dodgy situation)

Since when do people care about warehouses?

Seriously. They're the most boring thing this side of the border.
@ Nathan

The point is that Inaba is acting like the US government. Somehow labeling anything they don't want to talk about under a National Security label.

Warehouse? What warehouse? I cannot confirm nor deny a warehouse exists. It is a proprietary information and we think it would give our competition an edge. <-- Paraphrased.

---------------------------
Second, if he doesn't want to talk about it then don't come hurling insults at us for it. Some of the stuff he has called "LIES, DIRTY LIES!!" actually turned out to be true.

PG is looking into the facts behind the warehouse, that is his angle. Not mine. I am simply chiming in every now and then just like everyone else.

My recent questions are about actual statements made by BFL that reference their scope of their operation and their intent to keep it a secret from their competition. I have speculated recently that they may have many private orders that might be a form of repayment to the VC investors.

The actual hashrate going online (when ever they get around to it) may be larger than what their public statements say.

This is my current side of the argument. PG has his own.

Conceding the fact that BFL IS leasing said warehouse (was never my concern), the points I was trying to relay is that the flex space is not large enough to be used as an assembly process, warehouse and shipping area (including staff), and that the warehouse was only recently leased, thus negating previous statements to the contrary. To further drive the latter point home... 12-24-2012, 02:15 AM: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/announcements/550-contest-week-12-little-single-sc-giveaway-11.html#post8737

I haven't had time to properly resolve this and start a new contest. It's on my to-do list ASAP. Hopefully Monday.

Between the move, the holiday and everything else, it's pretty hectic around here.

Granted, the first/second/possibly third batches won't be assembled in house, but it was stated by BFL that that will be the case down the road. Perhaps because the flex space has an 18' ceiling height, a second floor can be constructed by AL Huber, thus giving BFL 2400 SF, enabling them to assemble in house with a more adequate space, albeit I believe they'll still come up short.

why only woman, have a boy/girl/furry service... never know when they might request a naked fox...

Names
----> WE WILL PLEASE YOU

----> Don't Worry Be Happy

----> Titty Maid 4U

----> Haleluya Cleaning Service

----> House Keeping 4 Pervs

Let's fuck to the chase (pud indented):



kasvag0r1an is correct. If you Google images sexy "French maid" (with quotes only around French maid) you'll see a myriad of services very similar of what you're trying to accomplish with this thread.

But if you somehow tweak the idea, creating a new niche, then the idea gains paws.

For instance, market it similar to a bachelor or bachelorette party or one of those mail-a-gram ideas as a birthday present, or for some other special event. In essence, the service is a gift paid for by the gift giver(s).

You can consider only accepting Bitcoin for payment. And while you're at it, the names of the staff when on site are always the same no matter what region of the country the service is it. And the names will be borrowed from this forum. Bruno is always the name of the guy looking out for the girls while on site. Then there's Maria, Mpoe, Mouse,... mmmmmmmmm!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My suggestions: worldwide to global; anonymous to pseudo-anonymous (will consider it one word); somehow emphasize without banks (all caps, comma, hyphen, etc., and still make the text clean looking making sure to not put a hyphen in an eyesore position, for example)

I'm not a season wordsmith, and any help from the community would be appreciated.

Bitcoin means evolution
and freedom.
A global, pseudo-anonymous
and carefree
transaction system
without banks.

I also like the logo. Your choice for using the word 'means' to replace 'is' is interesting. I really like it, but if even a better word could be used, hopefully somebody will suggest it.

All in all, a very fine submission.

~Bruno K~

Another option:

Bitcoin represents evolution
and freedom:
A global, pseudo-anonymous
money transfer system.

WITHOUT BANKS!

Now I'm having issues with the word 'evolution'. I'm not trying to tear this apart. In fact, I'm trying to improve upon it, for it's coming across so strong.

A separate post is warranted for this submission.

Did you steal this from somewhere? I love this shirt, but it's more of a slogan/motto. I'm going to include it in Post #2 of this thread nontheless. The only major thing I would like to see changed is the Bitcoin logo. Some logo with the word Bitcoin incorporated in it would be great in my eyes.

This fuckin' thread has now turned into a job, one of which I don't get paid, but have to pay out.  Wink

But I'm up to the task nonetheless. Allow me now time to address the posts since the last time I was here.

To make my task a tad simpler, I'll add the the ones to Post #2 meeting the criteria, and comment on the ones falling short as well as answer any questions.

Damn close, but you broke one of the rules. Can you figure out which one? (not being an ass toward you, bud) I like it, but can't add, for I would surely be called out for adding a submission incorporating an infringement.

That would be the E-Prime rule. I could modify it to meet that rule but it'd be half as witty. Why is E-Prime important here? Would be good if this could be discussed...

Oh and possibly because if Bitcoin counts as a word itself we're up to 15 - not sure if that's it?

I'm just hooked on E-Prime: Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing. For example, the sentence "the film was good" could translate into E-Prime as "I liked the film" or as "the film made me laugh". The E-Prime versions communicate the speaker's experience rather than judgment, making it harder for the writer or reader to confuse opinion with fact.





I'm including the above image, although it borders on being a slogan.



Also including this one, although structured as a sentence would have been more acceptable.


I'll give it another try:



Included for now, but PayPal is one word and not Pay pals. Redo, so I can change the pic in Post #2.

Entry outside the competition and a bit more provocative



I like this, but there's that word 'is' again. I'm going to do a mock-up based on this and submit in your name.

Here's your submission:
