Services offered to TFL'ers?

I have services which I offer (as all of us do) that is not gun related, but I would like to offer them to TFL'ers at a good price..

And not wanting to say "I sell Widgets, and will give TFL'ers 20% off" in the general forum, I'd love for there to be a section to do... as it's not gun related, but it's TFL community related.

Thanks.
Albert

twoblink,

You say it's TFL community related... What does that mean? Is it something like Correia's TFL/Molon Labe apparel? As sven asked, "what chu got?"

Depending on what it is, we may have you post it in the Retail Deals and Feedback forum. Though that forum is for firearms and accessories, depending on what you have to offer we may let you be a "test case."

As I said before, it would have to be at the very least, "TFL community related."

I'm actually a "Certified Cash Flow Consultant" if you don't know what that means, don't worry, neither does most other people.

I use to be a cryptographer, and still do crypto on the side...

But what I do now (primarily) is two-folds:

#1) I buy private mortgage notes. So if you hold a first or a second mortgage on someone, and would like to convert it to cash, I can do that for you.

#2) For those who own companies, I do what is called "factoring" which means I buy your AR's (Invoices, Accounts Receivables) at a slight discount, but give you the cash upfront, so you can operate the business...

That's what I mostly do now, but on my old business card, it use to say "I solve problems." and I mean that, I was a "finder" for 2 years, what's a finder? That's someone that "finds" whatever you need to solve your problem(s)...

What sort of crypto work do you do "on the side"??? I'm more intrested in why you would post that on a public forum...

I use to work for RSA, then worked for Baltimore Technologies.

I did toolkit integration. So, SSL, Public Key Infrastructure, and secured environment penetration testing and design.

I did all the cool Jame Bond stuff! But it's stressful, and also, after 9/11, every #)*(&#@$ Bozo with an MCSE thinks (s)he is a computer security whiz now. They've all but insulted the security industry to death.. They know NOTHING about PKI, about a secured environment design, but armed with "computer security for dummies" they claim to be security gods... It makes me sick. :barf: so me and quite a few of my former co-workers all have quit the line. Sad really, because there are fewer then 2000 cryptographers in the world, with more dropping out then dropping in. Also, it's one area where you can't really "go to school" to learn it... and it's an industry that is so specific, with quarks that are so specific to it, that experience is not something that can be made up...

Why, do you need some crypto work done??

I'm the very definition of libertarian!!

Guns, Crypto, Capitalism.

IMO, it just isn't "TFL community related" enough to post in the Gun Show forums. If you posted your services in there, we'd soon have about 7,000 more people posting their non-firearms related stuff there too.

Sorry.

But thanks for asking!

Bluesman, you read me wrong.

It is COMPLETELY not gun related. BUT, I would still like to offer services to TFL'ers at a discount. That's what I was trying to say, completely non-TFL related, but it is because it's offered to TFL'ers exclusively..

Am I making sense?

I'm not saying posting it on TFL, but a separate area??

Because I can tell you personally, if I wanted business, it would be TFL business, and if I were to give someone business, I'd prefer it to be someone from TFL, and I'm sure I speak for most when I say that..
