Not so simple. If you file California income taxes (which you will if you live in California) you are charge the $800 regardless of where you file for the LLC.

Yup. California will get you one way or another.

More likely, he's just posting something controversial to draw attention to the spam in his signature.

LLCs still typically have to register with the state in which they'll actually be operating, even if the LLC itself is domiciled in another state. In my state it's actually twice as expensive to file for a certificate of authority for an out-of-state LLC to conduct business in the state as it is to file articles of organization to form a domestic LLC. Other states may be different, but you generally can't get out of paying fees to the state in which you actually live and work.

Don't you have anything better to do than go around bragging about your imaginary income?
Dont worry friend, you seem like a nice guy and a good dev who is devoted to his customers... I'm sure that you will make some good money soon too! In the meantime I'll keep taking your cut of the pie!

I'm just saying...

Well, I'm currently ranked in the top 130s overall paid, and making plenty of money. You can check yourself (Fantasy Football Monster '10). Nothing you've ever posted leads me to suggest you have any clue what you are talking about. I can spot a bullshitter a mile away.

Because I'm in a really good mood today (largely based on the new iTC sales reporting features which the attached image shows off) I will help you out and show you the wrongs of your ways... and no, those aren't $1 apps either... we don't have any apps that are less than $2.99 and our biggest seller is actually a $4.99 app making up at least 50% of the d/l numbers. So you can see, week by week we are doing alright for ourselves... and with a set of planned large updates and a few new interesting apps as well coming VERY soon... the end-of-summer slump we are currently living in is soon to come to an end... although I think that even you would not argue with me that Christmas (and hopefully a Ver-iPhone too) can't come soon enough!

money, money, money, money!

I'm sorry friend... but the only bullshit you are smelling is coming off of your upper lip... lol

I'm just saying...

ps. looks like the boards attachment upload thing failed... i'll upload the image to an imagehoster and add the link in a sec

pps. ok here is the link as promised to the image that didnt seem to upload itself correctly. enjoy.

Awesome you can used photoshop congrats.

Give us actual appannie links to your apps then ill believe you. Until then I am pretty much going to assume everything you say is a self aggrandizing lie.

Id love to be proved wrong but I'm not an idiot, some photoshopped itc picture ain't gonna cut it.

The main reason I don't believe you is that you end all your posts like this:

I made the Top 100 overall grossing yesterday. So I know how much a Top 100 app makes. His sales data is an order of magnitude higher than mine. If his data is accurate then he must have some Top 10 apps (TapTapTap has released data for Top 10 apps and its still lower than his numbers). Will be very easy to verify whether he is telling the truth or not if he tells us the name(s) of those apps.

Looking at the Top 10 highest grossing I highly doubt any of those belong to forum users =)

Maybe Slice-It.

Wow, congrats mightbao! That is great news! I hope our apps will one day be as successful as yours. Best I've gotten is top 50 in a category.

That's still pretty good! You're in the Top 1000 as far as visibility is concerned. My experience is that once you are Top 25 in your category and your app is "sticky" then you are pretty much set.

Reaching Top 100 overall really took a lot of luck. Reviews, being featured by apple, and the start of the NFL season. I don't think I'll get there again anytime soon haha.
