Small steps up is what we're all about  Scaled from lowest bid in 30 days to highest bid in 30 days. How could it go out of scale? Here, I made you a little drawing:  . |

The apples to apples comparison is how much money is given back to asset holders. Hm, I guess in the end that's a perfectly valid way to look at it too. Cash-flow only investment as it were. |

For the Windows users aegis has complied the python script into a stand-alone all inclusive (gpg too I think) 32 bit .exe. You can find it here |

I. Interest. Starting today MPEx pays 80% of the MPBOR (MPOE Bonds Offered Rate hehe, the interest rate as fixed by the monthly bond auction detailed here). This currently stands at 1.99% per month. The balances update once a day, so you should see the satoshis trickling in already. II. Margin. MPEx now accepts margin trading from selected traders. In order to qualify one must have a solid WOT rating and considerable trade volume on MPEx. Amounts and rates negotiable, you will have to talk to mircea_popescu (usually in #bitcoin-otc-eu, or alternatively email) to get yours. Margin doesn't work in the "traditional" way, moreover you get the lump sum added to your account. Note that you will be required to gpg-sign a commitment to repay with specific terms. All withdrawals made while margined will go towards reducing the margin first. That'd be all. Have fun trading!

We were actually thinking of developing something similar, sort of paypal-for-bitcoin. After all this is how paypal got its initial base, back in 2001 or whatever. Not as much for the money, more of a public service, to help the spread of bitcoins.
Since you made the first move, you get the domain bought for this purpose (bitpal.us) free of charge (you will need a namecheap account). Pm me for the push.
Best of luck to you.

Cool deal!
Might be a good idea to add the usd equivalents from the twitter stream, and maybe the dividend announcements too?

Yea, that info is going into the FAQ. Vertical is MIN bid to MAX bid (so in the case of the link, 122000 to 169000) and horizontally each line is a 24 hour interval starting with the present moment and going back. The volume line is also by days, the last bar being the past day's volume (so in the case of the link, 28500). Knowing this would you still say it is meaningless?

Mkay, so I'm gathering we don't yet have the financial/intellectual wherewithal for CDOs in the community?

We also had 2 IPO prices, first we sold 2,205 shares for 0.1 BTC, and now we've sold 2,222 shares for 0.25 BTC, I'm not sure how you want to play with that one... Don't take this the wrong way, but as a general principle whenever you say the bolded text you're in fact saying "I've created an accounting nightmare which can't probably be unwound". The whole idea of financial management is to never have to say that. |

The one problem that I can see is Note: Deviations in dividend returns between listed companies may be due to the percentage of profit returned to shareholders. Search the forums for information on the specific listed company. The problem could be that to some degree we're comparing apples with oranges, a company retaining 90% of earnings and paying 1 BTC in dividends would appear significantly worse from an ROI perspective than another retaining but 10% of earnings and paying 2 BTC in dividends. However, on a fair-basis comparison the first made 10 BTC and the second ~2.22. Would it be possible to maybe add an extra column or two, stating at the least the declared % of earnings passed on as dividends and at the most an adjusted ROI? |

Diluted Earnings per common share of 0.21279319 when the IPO went at 0.1 per share? Wow, that's an eyepopper.
Nice work there smickles. Very nicely prepared statement, I would hope others follow to this high standard.

Seriously now, something charging 0.2% seller fee (no buyer fee) strikes you like made-to-make-money? We're not MtGox over here you know. |

On one hand I don't run anything, I'm just the person talking for it in those venues which the actual owner (Mr. Popescu) doesn't like.
On the other hand I imagine either way you cut the cake you're going to leave crumbs on the table, or in other words if not you for your reasons someone else for some other reasons. The judgment you propose would be solid if it weren't standing on just a leg. Either way in the end I don't think anyone's too agitated: if you can afford the luxury of passing based on the criteria you presented it's quite certain you have no actual need to be satisfied here. At any rate I am pretty sure the goal of MPEx isn't to collect each and every last person with some bitcoins somewhere. It's selective, if you will.
Maybe a more productive attitude on your part would be not "what weird points of style can I pontificate about in the general direction of this person" but "why would MPEx condescend to allow me among the hallowed halls of its tradefloors". I'm just proposing this as a mental exercise, in a quest for balance and all, don't jump.
There's people who have found bugs, contributed code... In other words the bar, as you say, is pretty damn high. So far you're not bringing anything productive to the table, you're in fact one of the people that I'm paid to insulate the rest of MPEx from.
As to the long term: other than the fact we're all dead, see you there.
