Actually, the point of the OP was to announce an "aggressive buyback" across your funds. Since several are currently trading above NAV it makes more sense, economically, for you to sell than buy. The current conditions simply don't support a buyback.

EskimoBob's numbers show that not only have you not bought any shares (which again, makes sense) but you've released shares of BMF. (You have also bought back shares of YARR, but that's an insured security which should in theory hit zero eventually anyway.)

Usagi, you run several services that all make a lot of sense in the bitcoin world, and I personally think that insurance is something that bitcoin needs on occasion. There are a lot of people here that will give you a hard time, some of that's due diligence and you will on frequent occasions get a troll, but please don't let the folly pointed out in this thread be your own.

In this line of thinking, is there any way to view securities listed as X or better. Selecting pink or better would display everything but black market stocks. White or better would exclude pink and black markets.

Also, the distinction between new with the ability to move to white or blue markets eventually and securities that will never be able to advance may be a handy feature.

Can you ballpark for us how the number of units you can produce daily relates to the number of orders you're taking daily? or how long you currently expect (again, ballpark) for the first x% of orders to go out?

Any info is good info.

Latest ship date I'm aware of is late October or early November. @BFL, any more certain dates yet?

A testament to how many units they're still selling for bitcoins? But it's a problem for people, hopefully the attack stops soon; the better question though is who and why is there an attack?

I'm almost certain they were/are using bitpay which has generally worked quite well. TL;DR from the other thread (it really isn't long if you care to read) They're being DDOSed and are currently shut down until they can sort it out. All their funds and private information are accounted for the only issue is availability of the website.

More good news, there are currently several buy orders in above Ian's 0.125. So even before the first rig is up liquidity is improving.

Definitely a good start. It's one point that is underaddressed since no one wants to go out of business. But having a comprehensive skeleton shouldn't be a problem, anything issuers want to change they can just specify in their own contracts. Don't like it, then don't take it, say what you'll do instead and stick to it.

I think Nefario was talking about something to default back to when no other specified plan was made, not what happens when the company defaults as in going out of business. Basically a contract that all GLBSE assets must abide by unless they specify in their contracts what will be done instead.

That being said, I think it's a great idea, but it's also harder to impose on existing assets. A plan for how this affects existing assets should probably be specified, or explicitly put up for discussion.

Your diagram looks pretty good, though falling back to another method of payment verification isn't a bad idea so your site doesn't break if you have to reboot your computer running the client.

Also, if the server is hacked the controlling party can supply forged deposit addresses, much lower impact but still problematic. Imagine if all of MtGox's BTC deposits went to someone else, even if only for a few hours.

One way I've thought to protect what would be the secret scripts on your diagram is to encrypt them and add a wrapper around them that required the decryption key as a POST parameter just to unlock such a script. To prevent a wrapper being placed around that to intercept the key it would need to verify itself and possibly some of the surrounding environment. Then the script would need to provide an appropriate response to confirm it's own identity. Messy, but if done correctly hopefully secure.

Actually, that was me playing with the referral setup near the time I setup my original account. If you'd like to check that, they're both at about 15% completion at the time of writing. That means that so far in 24 hours I have failed to attract everyone and their cousin with my quiet counter-offer to your spam.

I'm also quite shocked that everyone hasn't pulled their money out of GLBSE where they only get 10% every quarter instead of the radical, near-pirate returns of 10% a year with pyramining. Can you believe how dumb that is?

Perhaps I annoy you because my "better offer" is just that. A better offer, and I'm willing to call you on it. I am not going to advertise as heavily because spamming isn't only annoying, but to do it in this thread would be outright hypocritical of me. If, however, my first offer wasn't good enough for you, then let me propose this. I will beat or meet BobbyJo's offer up to a full 10% bonus on pyramining deposits as my referral. If you have another offer from someone else and you'd like a counter-offer, pm me as well. If you have any questions how to maximize returns using pyraming and multiple account levels, just ask in this thread and I'll do what I can to help.

TL;DR - BobbyJo isn't so good with details or math, and I will bring the free market to bear on him.

As such, for my referrals I'm offering 6% to your pyramining withdrawal address or 7% to your pyramining deposit address when such an deposit receives full bonus.

Sure we'll hear plenty once they're out, but who wants to wait?

I had preordered a FPGA single way back when, and had the order converted to ASICs (as I didn't want to spend another $600 to upgrade to the SC Single). But even for those who haven't ordered yet I'm sure having even ballpark information could be good for business. I understand that, at the moment, the best they have is simulations and extremely vague information from the fab company, but I'd still like to know what they know. Just tell us with what level of certainty the information comes with. "Our simulations guess about 1.26W power draw at full speed, it'll make your coffee two degrees above room temperature without plugging in the extra power cord. +- X% specs" Sort of thing.

FTFY Not something you can do in the simple menu, but a useful feature. Just me being neurotic.

Also, and more importantly, great questions. Though as pretty much all of these rely on information requiring a prototype and could be seen as bad faith if BFL answers incorrectly, I'm not sure we'll get a straightforward answer. @BFL, do you have a good guess or ballpark answer for ANY of these questions?

Your "better offer" is based on returning part of the referral bonus on new accounts for people who are willing to notify you almost a year afterwards. You, and anyone else, who runs such an offer is still coming out ahead.

If you'd like competition. I'll offer an additional 6% (16% total) to the payout address, or an additional 7% (17% total) to the pyramining deposit address of anyone who signs up using my referrals upon completion of their deposits (this can be done at the completion of each separate deposit). For anyone who wants to participate just PM me your deposit address after signing up under one of my links.

You just annoy me. You're spamming with your links and obviously haven't bothered to read the thread and aren't participate meaningfully. Competing with you is a joke, and beating your current offer is trivial.

My apologies on the incorrect timeframe, I edited my post after reading The00Dustin's post but your reply must have been put in about the same time as well.

Sounds like someone who has issues with anger, investing, and economics. Here's hoping you don't have to deal with the crazies in the future.

Hey Obsi, any explanation behind the thread locking for about a day several hours?

Edit: Going to sleep doesn't turn a night into a day.

I believe someone else (on a whole other thread) found this information inside the full account CVS download. Though not the most direct way to get it.

In theory it's bad news because you can't buy in at 0.1 without paying fees, however the price is low enough right now that it doesn't matter. Though Obsi, I don't see any reason not to put up an askwall, if no one buys in that's still fine, but it's available to those who want it.

One of your few responses aside from daily dividends, and very well played.
