[curiosity] Any intuition for why someone based in Kansas would set up a company in Wyoming?

[edit] Also, this BF Labs dates from in 2011. The domain name was already registered in 2009 (through Domains By Proxy)?

Well.. good luck to you again, I hope you succeed with it. My numbers come from having developed the site assessments, the prototype designs, negotiating the leases, and managing the construction after producing the construction documents and getting permits. If you have gotten pizza at a Little Caesars' or Godfathers, had your haircut at Sport Clips, Fantastic Sam's or Great Clips, eaten at Quizno's, bought toys at Toys R Us, shopped for shoes at 5-7-9 or Baker's, gotten printing at OfficeMax or enjoyed cable TV and internet from Charter Communications, I had a piece of designing it and getting it there.

The air can be dumped yes, but then you need to condition that many cubic feet of new air coming in from the outside. Way, way more HVAC costs. Filtration is a better option, and required by code for most smoking establishments (although my greatest experience is with cigar bars...). $3,000 for lease costs? Quite frankly scares me. Check if there have been any Legionnaire's Disease deaths in the building, or infamous murders. Heck, somebody rented Jeffrey Dahmer's apartment after he moved out...

And yes, I picked silly examples to talk liability insurance, but you will need it. A lot of it. Disclaimers and release of responsibility will protect you just until Brandi's Daddy, the big scary Southern California lawyer whose partner shows up with filings speaking to your violation of basic human rights, and forced servitude by not living up to a reasonable standard of workplace safety etc, etc, etc. And they love to do that crap in front of TV cameras... and then you lose as soon as Mr. Click Hair Lawyer opens his mouth. The point being there are a lot, no, a hell of a lot, of liabilities that you probably didn't think of. Hot coals, horny college students, professional trip and fall specialist, these are all things that plague businesses. Do yourself a favor and add costing out all your insurance to the mix. All perils $10 million umbrella. Business property and furnishings, workman's comp, fire, flood, willful acts of vandalism and negligence (Brandi has a problem remembering to turn off the heating element under the back stock of coals...) tornado, loss of income, health life and disability for the Owner (you- who runs it if you take a day of to have your spleen removed?) theft (internal and external- for $8 and hour I am going to rob you blind, it's my right as an underpaid wage slave).

Eyes open, skeptical Spidey sense tingling full time. That's the way to do this. And pump up a better prospectus when you are really ready for investors. Real, legit investors love that stuff. They eat up a well executed business plan with coherent graphics, and well explained and logical processes. Don't just show me great numbers, show me that you did your homework, then did it again, then back-tested it, had somebody who disagrees with you check it, and then had an army of trained blind monks who do nothing but analyze business plans review it and passed a blessing over it. Followed by an audit from the accounting firm that delivers the winners on Oscar night, and a strong letter of interest from Sequoia Capital, with a picture of you with a shoe on your head on the cover, and you will find the investors to trust you with the funds to make this dream real. And you will be known as the guy who invented the bithookah.


+1 for inspirational speech.

wow, this thread must be a really easy way to get donations..

There is no easy way to get donations, lol...

Actually there is. I've been getting donations for being a loudmouthed asshole. I don't know why this works either, but there you go.

That's just because you have the word 'finance' in your profile.

Bank Nederland-->BitCoins-->Bank Buitenland

Zou je hier wat meer op in kunnen gaan? Ik snap het bank-gebeuren niet helemaal.

This is with 96 customers/day

I don't think even a hairdresser gets that many customers a day, let alone a hookah bar.

Dude you sound unstable, to say the least. Stop making a fool out of yourself by begging for coins.

Also - your avatar reminds me too much of tradebit's.

Old Boy, Pale Flower, FirstAscent's suggestions... There is quite some Asian emphasis there. Do we have an explanation?

131  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Whats in store for the next few weeks on: September 18, 2012, 03:08:30 AM
how much is the price predicted to raise?

Impossible to say. It's not even certain that the prise will rise as a result of ASIC introduction.

I'm going to see Peter Gabriel in concert soon. 

I'll ask him what it's all about.

He's... still alive?

Dank, that DankGlass post sounds like you. Coincidence?
136  Local / Nederlands (Dutch) / Re: Gezocht: Mede-ondernemer in Nederland voor opzet alternatief Western Union on: September 18, 2012, 02:26:58 AM
a la Western Union op te zetten

Bedoel je daarmee fysieke kantoren?

Stop the f'ing bitchfight already.

Could you give me a concrete example of a "business thread" on your forum, BitcoinINV? I'm curious about your vision.
138  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: would qe3 increase the price of bitcoin? on: September 17, 2012, 03:10:59 PM
I disagree with the consensus.

Will QE3 itself increase the Bitcoin price?
I think the effect will be very subdued, if at all. Business cycle theory proposes that most of the money injected by the government passes through banks, which then loan it out to investors. Through these investments, loans eventually increase. However a certain amount of time will have passed by then, and I think effects on Bitcoin/USD are likely to be minimal [in the short term].

Will news of QE3 cause appreciation?
Much more likely. On a psychological level, if people hear about more money coming in, they will also be tempted to buy more. Another - different - aspect is that many Bitcoin users are familiar with the many downsides of Keynesian theory and might expect others to cause an appreciation in the Bitcoin rate in the future - so they buy themselves now. Etc.

My two cents...

You probably need to figure out what the best test game is. Diablo III might be one since it has a very active Auction House and I've seen it mentioned multiple times here on the forum. I can help out since I play it myself.
