Didn't you already attempt an initial offering?  How is this new?


Title: Re: Mimex IPO Announcement
Post by: IPO Magic on June 14, 2014, 01:35:08 AM
New thread, with new PR. Same offering.

Hello Mimex_PR, my name is IPO Magic.  WTF were our parents thinking, amirite?
Anyhow bro, don't get used to free business tips, but i'll point you in the right direction.

While it's nice to hear that "a large proportion of shares must be sold cheaply" and "share price will rise immediately upon launch," it's also helpful to mention stuff like:

-What do these shares represent?  Stock in your firm?  "Share of the profits" (de facto bitcoin standard)?  Make something up--be creative!
-What is the total number of shares issued.
-Will you issue more?
-Pay some lip service to not selling to US persons--you're issuing unregistered securities, just like real grownups!
-Tell us your age, your previous experience in managing multinational currency exchanges, how you plan to spend your summer vocation, and when you hope to finish secondary school.

Oh, and start all your formal writing with "Sirs!"  Because that's classy.  And never forget the exclamation point!

Your mentor,
   IPO Magic

Outside of the UK, a European bank account has been opened to allow customers to trade on Mimex from mainland Europe.  Regulatory approval has also been obtained to allow US and Canadian customers.


Show us the documents on the approval.


Title: Re: Mimex IPO Announcement
Post by: NotLambchop on June 14, 2014, 04:52:05 PM
This has all been covered before.  No McExchange franchise 4 U.
Piggybacking your ridiculousness on top of another one simply doesn't work.

TY Crypto Capital.  This brings me back to my original question, which banks are you working with?
For a real-world example:
I live in US, NY, NYC, which bank would I be dealing with?  I'd like to contact that bank and verify your involvement with it.
TY again.

Re. "no need to trust or provide your information to the trading software provider, they are a software company, not a financial one":

An exchange operator is an exchange operator, a software provider is a software provider.  If the software provider happens to also be running the exchange, he becomes both.  I'm afraid you've been mislead by your legal counsel.

We currently do not work with a Bank in the U.S, but we will provide a funding option directly to US customers in the near future and will update our customers as soon as it is setup.

OK, no US banks.  Any banks I could contact?

Quote
We act as exchange operators, and the "exchange" companies are software providers to our financial company. If you used trading software, is your agreement with the software company that made the software or the broker that provides the software to you as a client.  If you use online banking software provided by your bank to handle your banking needs do you interact directly with the software company that wrote the software for the banking platform? Of course not.

This is getting a bit silly.  When I use my bank's software, I'm dealing with my bank.  The [outside] firm providing banking software to my bank is not opening bank branches and calling itself "bank," while the exchange software providers are not starting their own exchanges while playing licensed brokers.  No parallels whatsoever with your DIY exchanges functioning on open-source software (which you provide along with your "bank - escrow" service).
McExchange Franchise model is amusing as a thought exercise, but I'm afraid no more than that.

Quote
We provide exchange software developers to option to engage customers without holding money in their own account, but in an escrow account. An exchange software provider manages the software, they do not need to physically handle your money, they only need to run and manage the matching engine software.

"Physically handle [my] money"?!  Unless you are expecting my bank to send used, nonsequential tens and twenties, you won't be physically handling it either.  An exchange is an exchange, and the person selling unregistered securities on an unlicensed exchange is selling unregistered securities while running an unlicensed exchange.  Regardless of who "escrows" the money.

I don't particularly care if you break every law on the books, but don't kid your "clients."

Quote
Think about coinfloor, a UK exchange that uses a money transmitter to hold the funds in escrow and receive and send them back and forth on behalf of their customers. We do the same thing, but on a global multi-currency platform.
...

No.  From a cursory look at the website, Coinfloor appears to be no different from other exchanges, it does not farm out AML requirements to third parties, or claim to be just a "software provider."  Again, no parallels with what you are proposing.

As I said, McExchange is an interesting hypothetical, and clever in a geeky, literalist sort'a way, but it's simply a nonstarter as a working, IRL proposition.  Financial regulators simply don't share our sense of humor.

We work with CryptoFinancial for US and Canadian customers, as they have a license to accept funds. You'll have to ask them for it. They will also verify that we are working with them.

EDIT: Here is their thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269191.0

They are also who we will be using for JPY

What convincing documents CryptoFinancial show you that they can deliver what they promise?

I can discuss our agreement with crypto financial, it is simply information I have which is not publicly available that I am not willing to share.

No, I am not in secondary school although yes I am young. Feel free to hold that against me if you wish, although I doubt that would sway your opinion.

As for previous experience with multi national currency exchanges, none. Then again I cannot thing of a single CEO of a bitcoin exchange that does.

Lol, I'm not holding your age against you any more than i hold being a cat against my cat.  But giving a kid with no qualifications money to start an exchange is as absurd as giving it to my cat, as clever as he is.

Go out, have fun, get laid, get wasted--best years of your life!

MrWDunne, though it pains me to say this, you are approximately as likely to start your McExchange as my cat (who is a frickin' talented animal, make no mistake.  Should see him with a new cardboard box...)

How many sharez have you sold thus far?

Enough to get us to beta, not a large amount but enough.

You may look it up if you so wish, all of the information is available on the Counterparty blockscanner.

More money needs to be spent on
Multi-tiered security audit
Colocation
Legal fees
Crowdcurity campaign.
To expand on this, the costs listed were the ones we are already committed to.

Looks good to me. Would likely buy a few shares if you were on havelock, not going to be using counterparty till it gets touched up a bit more.

Cant wait to see what the finished product looks like  ;D

The biggest selling points of this IPO is that it's on Counterparty. IMO the Counterwallet interface might have a few bugs but Counterparty at the protocol level has had a really sound, scholastic approach.

Mpex? Really? There is almost nothing on there except Mpex own shares. Havelock is very good, so is litecoininvest


And I like the concept of counterparty, but currently would not go with it. Volume isn't good enough rightnow

Quote from your website.

"Regardless, we plan to offer the following cryptos for trade on the exchange in fiat/crypto and btc/crypto pairs. More may be added, and some may be taken away.

BTC/LTC/DOGE/MMC/DRK/PTS"

I truly believe as a dunnecap investor and NXT holder that if you can have fiat/NXT in your exchange it will give you a unique edge. BTC-E will not likely have a NXT/fiat anytime soon and that would be a mistake you could take advantage of. All altclones including litecoin are dying and will be dead end of year. Being one of the first exchanges to have
nxt/fiat will make you the go to for nxt trading volume. Btc #1 and Nxt #2 will be so for a long time and Mimex can benefit by it.

I don't feel like this statement helps your case. You admit that you have no experience running an exchange. I appreciate the honesty, but the fact remains that you are not experienced. You can't expect *reasonable* investors to think that their BTC would be safer in this venture than it would be if it were just sitting in a wallet appreciating in value.

Secondly, those other CEOs without experience lost a lot of investor and/or users' money (whether through outright scamming or just plain negligence). The ones still standing are probably on borrowed time. Pointing to them and saying, 'See? I'm the average' is silly IMO.

Nice new site and design work put together. Looks like I will be keeping an eye on this one to see how things progress. I did see in OP that you are using GBP so am guessing you are using the UK for this site and location. If this is within the UK when do you expect to open website and trading for your exchange?

Curious, with exception of Second Market, and possibly Circle (still arguable) who does have experience?

Managing an exchange in the fiat world is massively different to a bitcoin exchange, seems largely irrelevant.

I thought it was using a decentralized exchange like XCP because you were talking about XCP.

So why are you doing an exchange when you have no chance against big guys ?

I don't get it.

We use XCP but that's for a different reason than BTC->fiat.

We are not directly competing with any 'big guys' as in the UK there aren't any big guys. You have local bitcoins, bittylicious or coin floor. CoinFloor is the only 'exchange' and that has ~25btc volume per day because they don't have UK banking and it is run by a notorious scammer (Nefario).

That being said, we will be competing with larger players in the USD/CAD/EUR space in particular. As for how to compete, we will just gain trust over time, and offer the best service possible.
