1/2 sided conversation my answers relating to guglimugli questions in the past hour, sorry to say we are stuck conversing like this... as the moderator views your questions mostly fud related (some are leigitimate questions) and the fact that you dont hold any uro. anyone readin this wil have to infer what the questions were unfortunately.
part1
from IRC
http://money.cnn.com/2013/07/23/news/economy/commodity-speculation/ http://www.commonwealthenergygroup.com/trade/facts.html looks like banks can charge up to 2% on monthly transactions even for assuring parties who have all the capital necessary to complete transactions
riva stands to save 150,000 just on the bank sending a letter saying theyre capable of paying
edit looks like 2% is for performance bonds, typical BLC's can cost 1%. so lets say by uring uro just as a starter for saving money by sidestepping banks and their fees they saved 75,000 by not using a bank to send a BCL which would have just said they have the money to be able to make a purchase. and includes no fees for the actual transaction.
edit also rivaa isnt holding URO, eventually they will pay GES 25000 from the 12500 URO wallets unless the 12,500 was a payment to GES from an exchange wallet where rivaa bought the uro in the first place. its not like they wouldnt have had this money tied up in fiat with banks if they were making this transaction. they are saving the price between 4 dollars and 300 dollars (the difference in discount between uro and urea) and theyre also saving around 300k usd as stated in bank and legal fees. obviously their tax, customs, and delivery fees are normal as they would have been no matter what method was used to pay for the goods
part 2
see edit to my above comment, and who said their trading in btc? the loss will be GES not rivaa.
at current price rivaa needed 166 bitcoin to buy 25000 uro at around $4.00, they send this to GES and get the urea FOB and pay for delivery tax customs fees etc as usual.
they save 7.3 million on the cost of goods, and an additional $300 in bank fees while remaining liable for the fees for moving a good from one country to another and the costs associated with that.
so GES recieves 100,000 USD worth of uro coins at current price and are out 7.3 million based on this being a transaction of 25000 metric tons of urea. As GES doesnt care for now and can hold because this is a 10 YEAR PLAN. they will not realise the loss until they sell the coins at a loss (asuming they rip of rivaa and scam us) which would be a net loss of 100,000 for rivaa who took a gamble on this and risked 100,000 to gain potentially 7.3 million worth of sellable product. or they deliver and market confidence rises to a point where were all happily trading this for ~300 a coin at which case they unload at their leisure.
part 3
im not sure the legality of it but would like to point out worldwide corporation Dell just started accepting bitcoin yesterday and they sell within hong kong and india. therefore anyone in those 2 areas could exchange at least bitcoin cryptocurrency for goods from Dell
part 4
also what i meant was rivaa isnt holding uro long term
part 5
If I would be able to talk here, I would take time to response to your answers. But you are actually talking to yourself and this post will get deleted within next 2min
But here I give you the answer to one of your questions.
From IRC out of context
9:52 PM
i think the idea is to deal in URO, no?
9:52 PM <•buneko_afk> I will try to convince the importers to pay in BTC
9:52 PM <•buneko_afk> Yes, we amass 12500 UROs
9:52 PM <•buneko_afk> And they buy the bulk in BTC
this refers to community effort to get some companies aside from rivaa and outside of india acclimated to the idea of using uro to buy their urea. in this case the community effort would pool 12500 uro and the importers would pay the community in BTC instead of sourcing it from an exchange. the feeling of this has actually morphed as it doesnt matter if we pool the uro or they get it form exchange, as long as these transactions begin to happen and more people welcome the idea the community as a whole will benefit
part 6
anyone who says pay in btc would be forced to buy urea at face value from someone who was accepting bitcoin for their goods.
part 7
i dont know if this was another conversation or the one from uro_importing where the last quotes were from. forced is the wrong word and all i mean by it is that if you find an importer who will accept your BTC for urea you will be paying $300 a ton. if the community puts together 12500 uro and says to a company they can pay $100 a metric ton for urea buy these uro from us, it might happen. but its kind of a ripoff when if we allow it to develop naturally the company could buy bitcoin, exchange for uro, and then do the uro > urea transfer as stated in the uro protocol.
