Did zeek offer registered securities?
Its a rhetorical question, but to be sure, I just googled it, and found this:

They are at best, very high risk. At worst, yeah utter crap. FWIW, mortgage prices didnt collapse as badly as those mining assets, and I suspect the onslaught a few 100 TH worth of ASICs will bring will make that collapse look decidedly small.

And those are your "star" assets. Why dont you mention the real crap like OBSI.HRPT, DMC, V.HRL,... CPA ?

And while you are clicking the show/hide button on my post, can you please explain how you calculate "market value" on your spreadsheets? The numbers dont seem to correspond to anything I can find on GLBSE, not last trade price, not ask, not bid, not 5 day average. How do you calculate it?
   

Getting BFL involved in this is nonsensical and frankly, childish by the OP. Wont go anywhere.

However, it could be worth mentioning bitcoinica to them. Im sure they would be a whole lot more interested in that.

You have maybe 2 months of profitable LTC mining ahead of you. Perhaps not even that, and its not like I would bet a penny on LTC on exchange rates over that period. I also think you forgot about electricity costs.

Look, Id consider lending you if I thought it was going to help you, but I fear its just going to cause trouble for both of us.

Exactly. It wouldnt be any different than if this was a swindle with foreign currency (which is also not legal tender anywhere), stocks,  gold or cat food. Then again, I dont know how much the SEC has to say about cat food, but possibly they do have some authority when it comes to trading future contracts or whatever.

Angel investors invest their own money. Of course they want a return, a big one, since its very high risk. Typically they will demand something like 50% of the company shares, although it depends of course entirely on the type of project. the investor and of course how much you can finance yourself.

As for the network, they dont have that many costs. They just rent some locations for the events,  do the prescreening and marketing and give you some assistance.  They get their money from the business angels who pay a yearly fee to be a member. As a candidate entrepreneur you also pay a fee, though when I did it, it was only like 50 euro or something, mostly symbolic, and not dependent on whether or not you got financing. IIRC the prescreening was even free.

Then again, different networks will use different rules Im sure.

Best news all day.

AH, I see the difference.

TEEK.A   1@0.01100001

Thats the last trade price, and what I used last time. You have it fixed to 1 BTC, which is not entirely unreasonably  since it has a 1 BTC buyback clause. It just seems like its not being honored?

edit: also seems your financial report auto updates? I have a few hour old screenshot that shows NYAN.A at 1619 total. Now its 1515 with the same update time. Where are these numbers coming from, are you using 7 day average and pulling them in dynamically? If so, you now have a good idea what to look forward to next week.

Of course I dont know if you bought/sold anything since the last update, but thats what I got when I did the math when I posted it.
Here is what I get using up to date spot prices:


In your last financial report it was 1515.4.

-28%

All is good I guess  

Mind you, if you actually wanted to sell all of the above junk,  you'd be lucky to get close to 500.

Thats more how I see usagi, an 11 year old self proclaimed "multi talented"  "child prodigy".

Its the same thing; it was (IMO correctly) alleged that by trading shares far below market value he breached his contract.
Even if the contract doesnt state it, legally company directors are required to act in the best interests of the corporation committed to their charge by the stockholder. In the absence of any contradictory instructions,  this would mean giving the stockholders the best possible returns their (in this case, fantastically limited) skills permit.  Selling shares at a few % of market value is not in accordance with that, and what nefario thinks about that is largely irrelevant.


No usagi, there is no guarantee. Its a gamble. They may well produce zero MH.

Cant believe someone would have to point this out to you, but gigamining is paying dividends now, based on a difficulty that is probably 50-100x lower than ASICminer will, if they ever pay anything. Moreover, the only reason gigamining still is trading this high is because  it provides an upgrade path to terramining.


You are not up to date. Your good friend Diablo traded all the ASICMINER shares for worthless obsi shit. The last remaining asset with some potential value flushed down the drain.
Result? DMC 1@0.004001

I told you DIablo would manage to burn what little shareholder value was left.

For relatively small amounts  / high risk ventures, look for a business angel network. 
Business angels are generally rich (ex-) entrepreneurs that like to help startups and make some money doing so.  They are organised in networks, you pay a small fee, apply, if your application gets through the first screening, you get like 15 minutes to present your business case for a bunch of business angels and you hope one or more are impressed or curious enough to talk further to you.

If you need larger sums of money, they often provide  preseed capital that might be needed to get the attention of venture capitalists or larger investment funds. Or they will introduce you to them (for a %) if you really convinced them.

Did you register for gpumax?

Where did the SEC get the emails from? From pirate?
Anyway, I hope PPT operators will begin sweating.

Goat, wouldnt your time be better spent on "Going after Trendon Shavers" ? Or was that just bleating?

Looks like 100% of the shareholders who bought your shares on GLSBE boted Yea.
Big surprise that the sockpuppet(s) who you gave 10000+ shares to voted in your favor. For all I know you gave most of them to yourself.

Anyway, will be fun to see your talent at work again. You already burned >99% of shareholder value, lets see if you can burn the rest too. My guess is you can. Only you can.

For once Im gonna agree with goat. Its even worse than that, read the obsi.ambo contract. He is paying himself 10 shares per day and is under no obligation to pay a single penny in dividends. He is also unverfied on glbse and runs at least one other ponzi.

I would estimate the loss at closer to 100%.

I suppose they could. But then we could just fork the blockchain and carry on with an alternative algorithm and banks would have spent  $250M on what amounts to little more than bad PR for bitcoin. Im sure they can get better bang for their buck.

To quote  her "I personally buy about 100 BTC a month. So there will be repayment liquidity from myself personally if need be."

Since she is already taking the exchange rate risk anyway, why pay skyhigh interest rates on top of that?

She is requesting this loan because she cant sell her assets, those are her words. Thats a pretty strong relationship if you ask me.

If you meant the risk to the lender, then thats something else, but if she is so solvent I have to wonder why she would borrow at almost 2% per week instead of lending her own money to her companies.
