hisabness··on Tezos founders push for legal bailout from Swiss foundation
what you're missing is why would people invest in an ICO then sue before the project is completely dead? just asking for regulation and trouble, while still losing your investment. i guess the attorneys will make money.

the whole thing reminds me of religion. "He intended this, he intended that"
hisabness··on Coinbase adds support for Litecoin
define early adoption? I would say where I live (Denver), less than 1% of people own or have owned bitcoins. Also, why wouldn't BTC Nakamoto have already liquidated his or her position if that was the end goal?

How did you find this? I was unable to do so from the SEC's main page.

hisabness··on ZenPayroll (YC W12) Raises $60M From Group Led by Google Investment Arm
Thanks for your response Ed. I appreciate that you're willing to respond here.

It is my company that wanted to operate as a PEO i.e. we would be the employer of record for the employees of our client companies. We then hoped to use ZenPayroll to process our payroll. I was told that you all like to work with companies that have 10 employees or fewer, which is fine, but it doesn't sound like if companies grow past 10 employees you kick them off your platform.

I think you all are a great company, and your colleagues have been both friendly and responsive in our dealings so my questioning isn't meant to detract from that.

Thanks.

hisabness··on ZenPayroll (YC W12) Raises $60M From Group Led by Google Investment Arm
any reason i was denied access to your platform? during the underwriting i expressed interest in operating as a PEO. what is your companies policy for said situation? would like more transparency lest you all be accused of being religious freedomists. happy to provide more information offline. thanks.
hisabness··on Beginner's Guide to Cap-Table Dilution: Cloudera's $1B Fundraise
your analysis is flawed. it really depends on the valuation at which each round is raised.
hisabness··on Patriots supposedly told Aaron Hernandez that iPhones could spy on him
I actually listened to the testimony and Bradley says that Hernandez told him something along the lines of the following:

"[that a special ops guy had told the team Iphones could be used to record you even when they are off.]"

This sounds similar to what others have claimed about the capabilities of certain government agencies. Also, given what many believe or has been shared in the media (also in Data and Goliath) I think it's hard to make the claim he was paranoid as a result of not wanting iPhones around.

hisabness··on Bubble talk
if there is a bubble and it persists then the valuations you propose are more likely and would be provided by the same investors participating in the bubble today. so, not sure of your logic here. maybe if you proposed a metric for actual cash generation you'd be on to something, but there's nothing to suggest that actual cash generation will be the driver of the valuations.
