The moron of the week: me

I think I managed to organize the worst mining fleet ever.

• At first I did not survey systems where good ores can be found, so in the hurry I just hit a random one. It had Veldspar but that wouldn't be a problem as Veld is surprisingly profitable when tritanium is over 7. The system was close to Jita, so very soon can thieves shown up, ending the party.
• We had no Orca
• My hauling ship couldn't keep up with even the ore the can thieves didn't touch
• The place wasn't announced in advance so people couldn't autopilot there earlier

All together, it was a total disaster. The income was near 2M/hour/person, making it a perfect waste. Well, one thing is for sure, miners won't replace the metals missing from alloys overnight. I'm sure hundreds of similarly terrible mining ops will happen before people learn how to run them. Since I see how complicated it is and see no interest in a professional mining career, I won't make more mining fleets. Feel free to organize yourself on the channel, I gladly join as simple member if I have time and Orca.

Some more "moron of the day" moves from me from last week:

• The "lost" 800M: I made my business report and added the numbers, finding that I'm 800M behind expectations. I wasn't ganked. Checked the assets, no, I did not left anything in the seller station and flied to Jita with an empty ship (I sometimes to do that). Checked all the logs, but did not sell for 1/10 price due to mistype. The money was just gone. Then I gave up on that and considered it bug, kept playing. Closed the market windows and moved the hangar window back to position. During sale it's a long, narrow window on the bottom, below the market windows. This time when I wanted to resize it, I just pushed it down, so half of it was outside the screen, holding 800M worth of wares.
• The Mindlink implants that are crucial part of my titan fit need Cybernetics 5. But if I learn cybernetics 5, I will obviously use +5 Implants. Great that I figured it all out after plugging in +4 implants. 100M worth of them...
• And finally my masterpiece. I wanted to buy 10 items, each cost 10M. My finger shaked or slipped and typed in 110, pressing enter instantly. Well, the money isn't lost, but it will take a week or two till I sell all of them, and until then 1B is rotting there, not to mention that such volume forces me to discount them for faster sale.

So if you think you couldn't make 3+B/week like me since you aren't that organized, don't worry. I fail just as much as you. I just don't give up on trading (I do on mining leading).

Luckily I'm not the only moron around:
This is an almost standard rebuy-scam. In this the scammer advertises item X for low price. The scam is in the bottom, you are actually paying item X and low price for item X. This time the scammer however offered low price instead of asking for it, allowing one of the channel members to grab the money. 

EVE Business report: Wednesday morning 10.0B (3 PLEX behind for second account, 0.1B spent on Titan project). It could be higher if I wouldn't skip the Monday cycle due to RL.
