$2000 for 200 would involve a free venue and a lot of free labor from family

nothing wrong with it but even throwing a party for 200 people is going to cost you more than $2k (or a shitload of favors)

put yourself in the shoes of a prosecutor trying to build a case against you. what evidence could they pin on you? there is nothing on your laptop for them to use, if you obscure your bitcoins propperly, there is no way for them to trace them back to me.
Re wedding chat my girlfriend's sister got married for about $4k for about 200-250 people. Catering was done by an army of aunts and extended relations each cooking one dish, decorating and such was handled by the bridesmaids and was completed using entirely found objects (it actually turned out really good looking). The only way I figure you can get less than $2k is if it's a dry wedding and/or the bridesmaids and grooms dress code is jeans and flip flop and/or a free venue.

Re kickstarter I wanted to say that I kickstarted the anova sous vide thing and it works perfectly. I also backed bear simulator so I'm guessing that's just $20 down the drain

they said it would be very affordable with ingame currency and that it only covered the hull and not accoutrements, also that it would be tiered based on danger level based on which sectors you were flying in and that you may not be able to get insurance for certain ones lol

this one seems to have severe form of that. trading outstamps every other activity, in terms of monetary income, by order of magnitude or two. also devs iirc consider tightening up fines on killing players which is stupid as gently caress in game where you are physically impossible to ever meet more than 31 player assuming it works properly and does not shits bed at about half of that.

elite, frontier, and first encounters all had that problem. you could trade back and forth between a few safe systems for a while and make mad cash, or you could hang around in pirate-infested systems picking up pocket change for bounties. or mining (lol mining in frontier was so bad)

MobileAppsPost is the most innovative tool for developers, app owners and users. Everything apps.

When will there
be 1Billion Apps?


MobileAppsPost.com is a collaboration of three family members believing we can accomplish something great together. We started working on a local small advertising project together and the ideas and visions flowed and grew. Our research revealed that there are hundreds of thousands of apps which are unknown. We think there will be millions of unknown Applications in the next few years. MobileAppsPost.com (M.A.P.) offers all app owners and developers, from the unknown to the most popular, a platform to expose their apps.

Our female lead company is driven to progressively develop an affordable and practical means for all other professionals to advertise and gain the exposure and information they need to succeed with any Application. Your contributions will allow us to continue developing our site. We will continue to improve research which allows us to implement ideas and our users suggestions. It will allow us to be the leader in everything apps.

Apps are from Earth!

When each and every User visits Mobileappspost.com, we want them to experience the best apps and tech information site available. Reaching our campaign goal of $72k puts us further in the realm of being the best site for apps statistical and tech information.

New, innovative and exciting programming will be implemented. Users will be able to share the apps which are exciting and useful to them with other users on a social platform. Users will be able to share what they like or don’t like about their apps, rate apps and view apps before they download them. With so many apps becoming practical, entertaining and useful throughout the world, Mobileappspost.com will be the app database for all things Apps!

Sure, anyone can just get their apps from the existing platforms. But Mobileappspost.com will continue to offer so much more than a place to download apps.

Users will experience much more than what's "Trending" and "Free". Users can search the M.A.P. app directory for any and every want or need they may have for app information. Developers and Owners can promote and advertise their apps. The M.A.P. "Interchange", located on the right side of each page, for every category, can be used to expose apps which are unknown, new or needing promotion. Popular brand apps have the exposure of a huge billboard area on the front page.

Users will be able to learn how to use their apps and get new downloads/updates for them. Users, from individuals to gigantic corporations, will be able to find fun, informative and useful statistical information about apps which will multiply and increase over time. They will be engaged with information about apps pertaining to their geographical areas, professions, sports, devices, cultures, hobbies, interests, and much more.

Users will be able to find the latest tech news about their apps and devices interest. Users will be able to purchase iTunes, Android and all apps on other platforms. Users will be able to purchase devices from our Amazon, Wal-Mart, BestBuy and other affiliates.

Want or have a need for your own app? Mobile Apps Post will have competent developers to help you create and launch your ideal apps.
