Feature request:

would really like to see a 'calculate' button when buying and selling that returns current expected value for 'X' shares. 





Hi, I think we already have what you're looking for.  If you enter X number of shares and the price and click the 'sell' or 'buy' button, you get a message similar to the following:

Are you sure you want to sell
10 units at 0.45000000BTC/unit
For a total of 4.50000000BTC?


So the total is the expected value of the X number of shares you wish to sell.

The site looks good.  Would like to see more securities available.  How much are listing fees for this site, i didn't see a FAQ or would've checked there?

Hi, we're always looking to add quality companies.  The listing fee is 5 BTC and you can email mitchell@havelockinvestments.com for more details about the listing process.

I have two questions through both from the AM thread.

One is pursuant to National Instrument 45-106.

The second I recall reading somewhere but I wanted to know for certain what would happen to havelock in case of a cease and desist order or enforcement action in Canada Smiley

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg2797734#msg2797734

Jumping ship from BTCTC to Havelock is ridiculous as they are in no better position with respect to Canadian exempt securities regulations (National Instrument 45-106).

Everyone panicking is throwing money away, which I'm sure is pleasing to the speculators among us. Stay calm, there really is no urgent need to do anything.

One is related to what burnside mentioned here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg2799488#msg2799488

For those running to the safety of AM direct shares - I see this as largely unnecessary. In the worst case scenario, in the event that BTCTC is met with a cease and desist or other enforcement action, Friedcat has an updated listing of all of our share allocations, sent twice a day. https://btct.co/faq

I'm not saying there wouldn't be negative ramifications if BTCTC were targeted - surely liquidity and share price would be affected. However, those of us with AM PT shares are not SOL in that case.

*Full disclosure - I own both direct and PT shares and I am not planning on changing my allocations anytime in the near future.

This is a good point.

Yes, Friedcat is emailed a full shareholder list (includes email and btc address) several times a day.  If the servers ever got pulled, he has everything he needs to pull the shares back in-house to direct shares.

I am not certain, but I suspect this is unique to BTCTC.  BitFunder has a good approach with publishing the addresses publicly if you turn it on, (if you haven't, do it now.) but does not include emails in that so Friedcat would not have a way to contact users directly.  Havelock and 796 I have no idea what is setup.  (Anyone know?)



We've been in ongoing discussions with our legal team to discuss how the current environment may impact our operations and what the options available to us are.  We haven't come to any conclusions as of yet, so its business as usual for now.

Do you guys plan to modify in some way your exchange, like btct which is going through some action to be sure to comply with us regulation after latest events?

Some real good points from Deprived and we'll start discussing them internally to see which ones we'll move forward with.  I'll post updates to any changes to IPO process in the Havelock thread (no timeline yet though) as I don't want to hijack this one.
313  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Havelock Investments - Exchange feedback/comments on: July 12, 2013, 02:37:23 PM
Just two small questions today since I was talking to Mitchell and he said to ask here

Regarding Canbit a quick question if any progress has been made since June regarding the KYC documents with any of the Big 5/6

And the real reason I came to post ^^

Vanity bug
There is a small clock error in trade activity newly executed orders use local time not server time not really an issue except during daylight savings ^^

Re: Canbit, I'll let James follow up.

Re: Vanity bug.  We'll take a look into it.

Thanks for the feedback.

A new public offering is NOW AVAILABLE for Sandstorm (SDSTM)
Total Units: 19700
Maximum Units Per User: 10000
Price: 0.00100000BTC/unit

Thank you for investing with Havelock Investments!
https://www.havelockinvestments.com


Two quick questions first regarding the Twitter feed will that be separate from the Canadianbitcoins feed that is being used currently or will both release separate information regarding each.

Second regarding Canbit should the havelock thread or the Canbit thread be used when posting questions guess I'll ask here my query today regarding if any progress has been made since June regarding the KYC documents with any of the Big 5/6
Although thinking about it I don't think National has been used yet
Thanks as always for the fast reply ^^

1. The twitter account will be specific to Havelock Investments.  The existing Canadianbitcoins feeds will be only for that business (separate from Havelock).

2. I would post Havelock related questions to the Havelock thread to keep things simple.

Thanks

Hello all,

I thought I'd address some of the issues brought up here.

1. "It's a scam":  The bitcoin community relies heavily on trust and we try to be as transparent as possible, as well as try to have our listing companies be as transparent as possible.  So far I have not seen any evidence of Sandstorm being dishonest.  Ultimately it's up to you as an investor to decide if the risk of purchasing any shares in any listing is worth the reward.

2.  "IPO sold out too fast/weren't enough shares": Sandstorm only released a limited number of shares because that represents the number of shares on which Sandstorm decided it can return a attractive dividend based on the assets it currently manages.  They could have released more shares but this would dilute existing investors' holdings/return on investment, which would have been not in the investors best interests.    

3. "The price is too high": I can't speak as to why an investor would pay X price for a share. It's up to each investor to determine at what price they believe a share should be worth and trade accordingly.  If you feel something is overpriced, then you do not need to purchase it (and I've seen numerous people post this sentiment as well).

All that being said, we're always open to suggestions to improve the IPO process and improve Havelock in general.  One option we can consider is limit the maximum number of units per person during an IPO based on a percentage of the units being released.  IE person A can only purchase 10% of the units at a time.  If anyone else has thoughts on how to improve the process, pleases let us know either here on bitcointalk.org or contact us at info@havelockinvestments.com.

It's an exciting time in the bitcoin world and the interest in Sandstorm shows that the community cares a lot.  

Thanks,
Mitchell

Mitchell not James??

That aside I'll throw a quick one in there on this IPO, I did not see a notice in the Browse IPO's dashboard or maybe I haven't observed it in detail a function that announces such listings would be handy.
Such as a page announcement well before the release
Another issue I have is that while the ASICminer whole share passthru was announced on the main page no infromation was made available regarding the Sandstorm IPO and notice given besides this forum thread I would like to see the front page updated and this sort of information made more obvious on release
https://www.havelockinvestments.com/index.php

That said I appreciate your work and am glad to see the team is growing
My regards to you Mitchell its a pleasure to see a new face and always my top regards to James
Freedom

Thanks for the welcome and both James and myself are excited about growing Havelock.

We did have an email announcement go out regarding Sandstorm but we can definitely look at ways of improving communication, such as posting all upcoming IPOs to the main page.  We'll also be releasing a twitter account which will help provide Havelock-related information.  Thanks for your feedback.

Sandstorm only released a limited number of shares because

Hi Mitchell,

i think the issue is not that there were not enough shares but that it was possible to a person with 2 accounts without too much efforts to buy out everything and then speculate by being 100% shareholder on havelock

why weren't there some tighter restrictions as to how many shares one account is allowed to buy?

Hi, putting a limit of the number of units per person during an IPO is something we'll be taking a look at.  "One option we can consider is limit the maximum number of units per person during an IPO based on a percentage of the units being released.  IE person A can only purchase 10% of the units at a time."  Thanks for your input.

why does this show trading on havelock, when its not active until tomorrow?  what happened to the 0.001 price noted in your overview?  activity today of 236 shares shows the price is 0.0108 per share

From the Havelock side of things, the open market was active but we closed this until the IPO goes live.   The people selling were original investors in Sandstorm.  The IPO price is still 0.001, so I'm not sure why someone would buy at 0.01 on the open market unless after the IPO the demand drives it that high.
319  Economy / Securities / Re: SANDSTORM: - A Collective Investment Vehicle for BTC. - on: July 11, 2013, 06:29:12 PM
I still am convinced it's actually EDT.

You're right, we go from EST to ESD in the summer with daylight savings. Cheers.
320  Economy / Securities / Re: SANDSTORM: - A Collective Investment Vehicle for BTC. - on: July 11, 2013, 06:07:40 PM
As a side note, the newly issued shares will be available under the IPO section for Sandstorm, so make sure to put your order in that section to get in on the IPO (at the IPO price). 

At the same time, people who own shares already can start listing them in the normal trading section at whatever price they want.  Cheers.

So you're opening the door @ 2013-07-12 01:00:00. Can you let us know what timezone are the IPO timings are in?

That's 1am on Friday (EST).
One note the open market buy/sells section will be disabled until the IPO happens.
