Yes, we are not limited to cryptocoin projects.

We have completed our first GLBSE import.

LTC-MINING was the guinea pig, and it went off very smoothly.

Server's having problems again.  Filing a ticket...

Edit, back again.  Wasn't the server this time, something with their connectivity.  Ugh.

Server seems to be down at the Panama hosting facility.  I've submitted a ticket in with support.  I'll post again when things are confirmed back online.

Dev update:

- Withdrawal bug fixed.  (input submit form element was outside the <form></form>... doh.)
- Big formatting update on the Deposit/Withdraw page.
- Inline editing of orders on the security pages.

Today's Dev Updates:

- Cache strategy changes to the market page.  It should be cached slightly less now, and more up to the second with trades.
- New feature, public portfolios!  On the "Account" page you can now turn on public access to your portfolio.  When you turn it on, you are given a custom URL.  Anyone you give that URL will be able to view your portfolio, all they have to do is log in with their own account first.  This should be especially handy for FUNDS that want to make it easy for their users to see what assets they are holding.

Quick Dev Update.  We have added protection against google auth replay attacks.  This means that you now cannot reuse the same google auth key in a 5 minute window.  If you want to do another transaction quickly, you will have to wait for a new key.  Please let me know ASAP if you find anything broken as a result of this.  eg, if you can't trade.  

Today's Dev Update:

- New api endpoint /api/assetContract, gives you the contract and other details in json.
- Newly created assets are now "Issuer Locked" by default.  This way the issuer can fine tune them before opening them up for moderator voting.
- "Admin Locked" and "Issuer Locked" assets now show up with a reddish background in the Market.
- Bug fix to the Market "Trades" tab, the 24h high and 24h low columns were backwards.
- Bug fix to the textual depost/withdrawal history where the quantity of the sellers entire order was written into the trade log rather than the quantity of the bid the seller filled.  (important note... this was a textual history bug only, not a bug with the actual quantity in the trade itself.)

Dev update:

Market: new "Trades" tab, shows last ~48 hours of trades
Market: slight tweaks to moderator score display
Market: split tabs left and right to improve usability
All pages: large tables: subtle alternating row colors
All pages: improved caching on several key functions
All pages: darker font, lighter table backgrounds

Dev update:

- Forced buyback is now available.  For the asset issuer it will show up below the bids section of the order book.
- Small tweaks to the purchase/sale emails.

Thank you Deprived.  I created step 6 based on your input. 

For those that want to transition to BTC-TC here's what we have so far.  Some details may change.

Step 1:

Read the BTC-TC ToS and Asset Issuers ToS.  (linked in the footer of https://btct.co/)

BTC-TC is different than GLBSE was in many ways, especially with regard to FUNDS.  BTC-TC has some strict limitations on how funds operate and many of the funds that operated on GLBSE will have to alter their strategies if they are to be allowed on BTC-TC.

Step 2:

Setup a BTC-TC account and create your asset using the same ticker you used on GLBSE.  https://btct.co/create

It will charge you 5 BTC to create the asset.

After your asset has been created, browse to it in the market, double check everything, and unlock it for voting to begin.

Step 3:

PM me asking for an asset creation refund.  I will first confirm that your asset was on GLBSE before I will issue the refund.

Step 4:

Sell your asset and transitional plans to the LTC-GLOBAL / BTC-TC moderators to get it approved.

This part we cannot really help with.  We will not get involved in the voting process other than to make sure the system works.

If you fail the vote... you've already been refunded.  And there are a couple of other exchanges out there to consider.  We hope you succeed wherever you end up.

Step 5:

Once your asset is approved for trading, send me the file GLBSE sent you.  We have an import script that works roughly like this:

glbse_import [filename] [ticker]

eg:


After running this script, every user will have an account with their shares in it with a login named after the security.  From that point on you can issue dividends as normal.  Users that want to keep the account long term can do so.  Most users I think will want to create an account with a different username though, in which case they just create a new account and transfer the shares and coin into it.  Share and coin transfers are FREE on BTC-TC.

If you have users that contact you with their BTC-TC username BEFORE we run the import, you can remove those users from the import file and do the transfer manually.

If you have users that contact you with their BTC-TC username AFTER we run the import, We will provide you with the output of the import text such that you could assist them with a transfer.  (eg: log in for them, initiate the transfer.)

If any users claim they did not receive the email, but they were in the GLBSE file, the copy of the import text will also allow you to email them back and assist as needed.

Step 6: (NO LONGER NECESSARY IF YOU HAVE THE FINAL CSV FROM GLBSE)

If there were shares unaccounted for in the GLBSE file, as many assets will have, you will need to create a holding account for those shares.  This will allow you to issue dividends and operate normally while additional GLBSE claims still come in.

For example, if you had 1000 shares outstanding, and 50 of them are unclaimed, you put 50 shares into the holding account.  The holding account will collect dividends.  Then in the future when you get a new file from Nefario with new claims in it, you ask the user to create a BTC-TC account.  Once they communicate their BTC-TC username, you transition shares and coin proportionally from the holding account to the users new BTC-TC account.

Please let us know if you see any glaring flaws in this plan.  It should make things fairly painless for the GLBSE issuers that want to continue operations.

The users get prompted to vote again on the portfolio page when the contract is changed.

I don't really want to get involved with the voting process but you don't have to swing a lot of votes.  Swing one NO and get another YES and you're in good shape.

If you still want to pull the asset, I will, but it may be worth giving it a little more time & energy.

This came in via PM.


This post here I think sums it up:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101694.msg1335397#msg1335397

Let me know if I can clarify anything.

Dev update:

- There's now a reminder that pops up at the top of the portfolio page when you need to vote on a motion.
- There's now a reminder at the top of the portfolio page listing all assets that have completed motions in the last week.
- A bug with the motions system was fixed that was using the current outstanding shares to calculate the percentages rather than the outstanding shares as of the time the motion voting completed.
- Slightly updated formatting on asset notification emails.

Fees collected will be converted to LTC and distributed as LTC.  I know this is going to bug some BTC users, but I don't really see a way around it without introducing significant management overhead in the dividend process.

I won't rule out changes down the road, but that's how it is right now.

Unless you're wanting to shut down, we have your technical means: https://btct.co/ 

We'll list any GLBSE refugee asset on BTCTC (https://btct.co/) for free.

We can't guarantee that they'll pass the approval voting process, as that's up to the mods.  PM me after re-creating your asset and we will refund the 5 BTC asset listing fee as soon as we confirm that your asset was listed on the GLBSE prior to it's closing.

I'll also note that picking up operations should be fairly painless.  The platform allows free transfers from account to account, so if you request the asset holder's BTCTC username as part of the claims process, it is quick and easy to transfer the appropriate shares to their BTCTC account.

Thanks!
