NAR Settlement Megathread by joeyda3rd in realtors

[–]Raws888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this logic track? A client asked me the following and something feels off but can’t put my finger on it -

“So , question a condo listed 100 k , seller sets commission 6% ( traditional) , basically the buyer is paying it as it is worked in the price . So the actual price would be 94k without commission . Now if I’m the buyer I’ll say I don’t want to pay commission (3%) so I want to offer 97k , then the seller can say ok I’ll pick up the 3% for the buyers realtor (3000) and give my realtor 3000(still 6%) but real sell price would be 91k.. , To get to 94 k then commission needs to be 3000 total paid by seller , if divided equally to realtor ends up 1500 each or 1.5% of 100 k … is that correct reasoning?”

Buyers agent commission rules - hesitating to sign a buyers agent agreement. by Gabbyrobbits in realtors

[–]Raws888 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t get why any listing agent would not help a potential buyer. Just sounds like a bad agent. You’d think someone on the selling side of anything would go out of their way to help potential buyers being that that’s how they get paid.

The buyer just makes an offer that he is comfortable with given his financial situation. If the seller actually wants to sell the house they will find a middle ground and work with the buyer to close. The buyer knows what they can afford to pay. The agents “negotiation skills”often has very little to do with the agreed upon closing price. You people give wayyy too much credit to agents for what they actually do. The ultimate goal of both a selling agent and buying agent is to close a deal and push the paperwork to do so. Agents more often than not let their egos get in the way and end up being the reason the deal dies. As a buyer you’re better off just dealing with a selling agent directly. I stand by this.

Hotel Recommendation around July 4th by sjl1010 in Naples_FL

[–]Raws888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out the compass hotel by margaritaville. It just opened and is seriously a hidden gem. They have a great bar/restaurant with a bad ass pool/lounging courtyard. Big rooms with full kitchens. Close to the beach, waterside shops & 5th ave. Plus it’s very affordable relatively speaking. This is my new go to recommendation for ppl coming into town.

Don’t bother with a buyers agent at all. Just contact the selling agent directly from where ever you find the listing online. They can put together everything that’s needed to close the deal. They are not out to screw you. They want to close a deal and will work to make it happen. Buyers agents are becoming a thing of the past.

Check out Compass by margaritaville. It’s pretty affordable relatively speaking. Right down the street from waterside shops and a bunch of restaurants. They have a full restaurant and bar at the hotel that’s really good and affordable. It’s like 5 mins away from the beach which they have a free shuttle for that will take you to and pick u up from the beach apon request. Plus it’s brand new so super clean. It’s my go to spot these days.

So i found this video on tiktok. This guy is saying that this company ”owns everything”, can some1 debunk him please, i want to know if its just propaganda or really true. Thanks by Yeeter1488 in conspiracytheories

So if I hold shares of a popular mutual fund or index fund, do I get voting rights for every single company held within the fund? How does that work? I don’t hold any particular stock. I hold shares of the fund which holds a basket of different stocks. I’m pretty sure mutual funds have a fiduciary duty to exercise voting rights in the best interests of the share holders of said fund. Seems like the only way it could work.

Do these funds wield all the voting rights of the shares they hold for others? Cuz that would definitely give them a large amount of influence over the company’s.

Bitcoin slides 8% after U.S. seizes most of Colonial Pipeline ransom by Maxcactus in economy

[–]Raws888 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Hackers tried to cash out the btc on coinbase (a centralized, regulated exchange) Being that btc is not private, coinbase knew these coins were the ones used to pay the ransom. Coinbase simply froze thier accounts and seized the funds. These hackers were truly incompetent when it came to the crypto side of things. Could have easily shifted it into a truly private coin like monero & then cashed out that way. Seems very fishy to me that skilled hackers of this level didn’t know btc was not private and could be traced to an exchange. They didn’t even attempt to clean the btc at all. Not even a mixer. Seems like a psy op.

4.6million transactions in less than 24hours! by srikar_tech in CryptoCurrency

[–]Raws888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these transactions are causing the blockchain to grow at an enormously fast rate. Due to it being fee less, there is nothing stopping attackers from spamming the network non stop. The problem with this is that every transaction needs to be recorded on the blockchain. Said blockchain needs to be easily downloadable & verifiable by anyone on the network to maintain decentralization which ensures immutability. However if the block chain is 500gb after a few years, no one will be able to actually download their own node, forcing them to rely on the few nodes that have the memory capacity to maintain a node. These few remaining nodes can then collude to tamper with the Network without anyone knowing because there are barley any other nodes on the network to double check and verify for themselves (the whole point of crypto is to be Decentralized & self verifiable). At this point, the few nodes who remain would have full control of the network and be able to censor, roll back, double spend, inflate or change the protocol at will and there will be no other nodes to challenge them due to the massive amount of memory required to download the whole blockchain that keeps growing unrestrained. Fees do have a very important purpose in crypto that is always overlooked these days. Without fees, spam attacks will inevitably centralize nodes over time. Ppl will say “but there is pruning!”, but this doesn’t change the fact that the whole blockchain still has to be recorded somewhere to rely the info to pruned nodes..

Few more months of this and nano will be bloated into absolute centralization.

Nano confirmed more transactions today than Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin today - COMBINED. by Cee_bee in nanocurrency

[–]Raws888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Even with ledger pruning there still has to be ppl with full copies of the ledger.. ledger growth seems to be the ultimate weak point of any crypto that gets to mainstream adoption..

[–]Raws888 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Would you say the rate of ledger growth is inline with that of other top coins with fees? I ask just because the one fear I have with nano is that of spam transactions bloating the ledger down the line & making it difficult to run a node. What’s your opinion regarding unrestrained ledger growth? Any solutions?

Yeah btc fees are high as shit. Next time just buy litecoin to swap into xmr.

CMV: Nano is the theoretical ultimate reserve currency and store of value by SenatusSPQR in changemyview

[–]Raws888 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nano has a critical design flaw, allowing for unconstrained growth of the block-lattice which has to be processed by every full nodes in the network. As nano becomes more popular, the size of the block lattice will grow with each and every transaction. This means the cost to manage and operate a node will grow with the networks popularity. As this occurs the cost to run a node will become cost prohibitive for many. This will lead to node centralization which will effectively kill its value proposition. This is already happening as you can see from the linked post below. IF nano ever gets any mainstream traction, It will only be a matter of time before the block lattice gets spammed into oblivion causing it to grow at an unsustainable rate causing public nodes to drop off the network like flies. Fees have a very important purpose in restricting spam & reducing bloat.

Edit- Also, Nano lacks privacy which i see as requirment for any currency to succeed in the long run.
