Fuck, apart from being a true Nazi (Dutch), I don't know why you hate me so much.

Thanks to the wonders of the Internet (as compared to my (yeah, I know it's me but I like the archaic) exchanging letters with students of the Soviet Union some 30 years ago), I'm sending to you my first letter of friendship, collaboration and generally, peaceful setup and you go on like: ===...

OK, so I drink sometimes. Like 50%+ of the times when I post here. What does this say about me and you? 1) That you're boring. 2) That the only times I find myself willing to spend some bits of my precious time with you is when I know it's *wasted* anyways. Pun intended :)

Do you get a boost in endorphins being a nasty vicious POS? Or what else?

Thanks for the offer, it's good to have alternatives (even if just for the morale). As for trust, my experience so far is that people aren't exactly rushing to help you when you don't have the means to pay or force them to (like trough legal agreements). And if you lose your edge, you're back...

Might work, let's not be negativists, so good luck! What I don't like is relying on things outside of my control. And selling stuff to someone else (traders, funds, customers in general) is not something I can control. Can be the greatest tool ever built, either you make money using it...

Another idiot who can't read :rolleyes:

Programming is not a problem, I can do anything by myself. The problem is finding an edge. And while I'm working hard on it and eventually I *will* find it (them), I'm also considering the option of joining forces with someone in my situation. I *did* find people interested in what they call a...

No. And to figure it out I can't use code monkeys.

Problem: proprietary trading strategy. End product: prop shop, started by shop runners, used by shop runners. No snake oil as "I've built this amazing software product which really makes money, not a scam really, I'm using it myself and make tons of money, let my grandma die if I'm lying (she's...

There's calculated risk, for me at least. I'm on the hook anyways so not much to lose. I re-instate, this is not an usual *job* of digging tunnels. In the Monte Cristo analogy, hiring someone to do your tunnel is not an option. At worst it's a lone wolf job, anyone you add on it must be worth...

If you're #a, #b or perhaps even #c then you don't apply. At least I'm asking you not to make fun of my attempts to break free before there's no point attempting to do it anymore (god forbid you rat me to the wrong people). It's not a business, it's a prison break. And what you're dealing with...

>> Good luck in your endeavor, may you attract the perfect match for what you are attempting to accomplish. Thanks. >> From your logic it appears that paying a low rate for programming services is to be offset by the title of cofounder. Other than appealing to the ego, what other benefit does...

This is a continuation of the "Hiring a cofounder" thread on the "Options" forum, you guys are programmers and unless you lived in the woods, must have heard of the concept of "iterations". Previous thread was just that (and it was preceded by others along the approximately same subject). So...

Well, I've stated from the very beginning that this post is just a warm-up, so I can get an idea of the market. I've got enough for now to drop this thread and likely never come back with a follow up. Not that I won't have $10k or $100k per month, it's just that when I'll have them, I won't be...

Sure they know :) Let's say my family (wife, siblings, parents) are too risk-adverse. Friends, not so much, since they don't care as much, and I know it. In the end it's me who makes the decision, though, so it helps having a bit of a distance between opinions and not all of them speaking on...

LOL. Gotta remember the expression. I've posted in the "Options" thread since I'm an options guy and don't care much for outsiders, especially since it's like 99.98% of them. Stock and FX trading, charts, programming and chit chat, almost all there is. Guys who get (and trade) options are special.

There's no ideal family and contrary to what ideas you may get, I love my wife and kid. They're just not ready for the full brutality of hunting deers in the woods for dinner. My kid will have to be some day, unless I can change the game so it's no longer a required activity in order to survive.

I agree that family is thicker than blood but with barely above replacement level in children, you're left out with friends. I read some study which basically stated that pink is the new blue or something along friends are your substitute family. And I've really got like... one... who's sort of...

>> While Tully battles his past demons, including issues with alcohol It's true ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianization_of_Kievan_Rus ) : "Drinking is the joy of the Rus. We can not do without it." I recommend you read this book: "Beria - My Father: Inside Stalin's Kremlin" The...
