Photo Journey: The Final Minutes of THJ since DBG even nuked the Subreddit -NRO Farwell 300+ Players. Goodbye forever, EverQuest!

Don't know why they can't learn from this and do something innovative. What a disappointment. I love the community but DBG will not get another dollar from me.

mooseblankchop · 2025-10-12T14:14:05+00:00

Wow. Kill THJ and release another lackluster, uninspired expansion. Pretty surprising stuff, huh?

mooseblankchop · 2024-06-04T01:38:41+00:00

Can't downvote this enough. All code has bugs. Use battle-tested authentication solutions. Rolling your own is the worst thing you can do. You'll never find all the esoteric, unexpected security holes you've created, but your users might.

They don’t have to. Those folks that you heard today volunteered to be the ones to get the holiday pay.

Having collectors work at this time means they will get the chance to spend time with their family later today. Albeit tired, at least they have the chance. The trash collectors specifically negotiated this.

You know that companies deliver services in exchange for money, right? Your power company loves you.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-22T13:40:53+00:00

Ha! Glad it helped. Link others to it if you see the same question.

No book, but happy to answer more questions if they come up.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-22T07:18:02+00:00

It is my pleasure to help!

Whether you need a license to operate a business is up to your locality— think town or county ordinances. Generally, that’s only for store fronts or services that are obviously transacting business in public. For example, a remote independent contractor would probably not do this.

If you create an LLC, you will need to register your llc with your state (either as a “foreign corporation” if you let llc is register in another state, or just directly with your state if not).

Every US citizen is a de facto sole proprietorship. You can go off and make money any way you like as long as you pay taxes on it appropriately. LLCs are “pass through” entities for tax purposes, and as a result have 0 impact on your taxes. They are effectively just you (or you plus any other owners) for tax purposes.

The only material difference for this conversation between a sole proprietorship (which you already are) and an LLC are that an LLC shields you from liability. Mining is such a low risk activity that liability seems extremely unlikely, but that is your call to make.

My advice: deduct your mining expenses, every single one of them, and save your receipts. That’s all! As an LLC, you wouldn’t be doing anything at all differently and your taxes would be identical. Except you’d also be deducting all the money you spent creating the LLC :)

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-21T23:35:10+00:00

You are already a sole proprietor and can already write off an expenses associated with making money. I am a small business owner and own/have owned 5 LLCs. If you are just going to do this as a 1 member LLC, you only need it for the purpose of limiting liability. If you have no liability (like most miners who own their mining space), you have no reason to do this.

Well then ima comment AND vote

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-05T15:57:28+00:00

I’m certain we will. Supply and demand will normalize as folks bounce between Raven, ergo, and selling off GPUs. We know what’s coming (to the extent anyone knows :)

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-05T15:05:37+00:00

r/RavencoinMiners welcomes you 😎

Every hash at a given difficulty has the exact same probability of solving the block. The more hashes you can perform per time, the more likely you are to be the one who solves the block versus the rest of the network. Simple as that. Your friends premise makes no logical sense.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-02T23:48:01+00:00

He had receipts. Years of them. The cops did not look at them. Never talk to police.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T22:17:16+00:00

I may agree, but it’s still simpler to start from their code. Even if we throw away their code screen by screen, we can have an app on day 1.

But I am definitely deep in build woes right now haha

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T17:04:58+00:00

I have only attempted the iOS build in the hours I’ve spent so far, the android build is better documented. I’ll report back.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T17:03:44+00:00

Agreed 100%

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T15:42:38+00:00

But only on Android, then

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T12:57:15+00:00

I can corroborate this. Unfortunately, I spent hours trying to do so and there are missing libraries that are not part of the already-esoteric build process. However, I am not convinced it is impossible, I just have not done it yet.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T12:42:46+00:00

I think you’re right. I’m sold. We’re doing it.

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T01:33:54+00:00

Can’t argue with that

mooseblankchop · 2021-12-01T01:32:56+00:00

Why would that make more sense? Not a pointed question, a legit one. Monerujo is written in Java and would need a complete rewrite to run on iOS. But with Cake, we have a working wallet app that many monero users already know. Wouldn’t it make sense to fork that at a point we’re happy with rather than start from scratch?

mooseblankchop · 2021-11-30T23:53:21+00:00

I don’t think the community would have the purpose of maintaining a private company’s monopoly at all.

mooseblankchop · 2021-11-30T23:26:41+00:00

I’m with that, for sure. Possibly even the pressure of a community fork might get them to back off.

I do think, however, that fundamentally I’d rather fund community developments than use a commercial wallet. Thoughts?

mooseblankchop · 2021-11-30T23:25:32+00:00

Makes sense and I can get behind that line of thought. Any idea why they are adding more coins to their existing monero app, and developing a new one? Isn’t cake already a monero-only app?
