I can't imagine there's too many BTC actually held at GLBSE.

BTCMC didn't have a "90%" drop in price from 8 BTC to .8 BTC.  They had a 10-for-1 stock split.

Thanks for the timely updates & attention to these matters.

I must say I'm very pleased with this service; took cash to Chase, emailed receipt to BitFloor, & I had my account credited within 30 minutes.

Very professional operation - I'll certainly be using you guys again!

Excellent info, thanks for the post.

Just curious what everybody's thoughts were.

It seems to me that BTC is just so tiny it's hard to draw any parallels with anything else.  I mean, there's more traded in AAPL in 3 minutes than what the entire BTC economy is worth.

I would assume that most of GLBSE's BTC is kept in cold storage.

The servers are located in the US?

I couldn't agree more with all your concerns.  Reading thru some SEC guidelines here:

it appears that all of GLBSE's issuers are probably breaking some laws regarding unregistered securities if sold to US investors.  The specific securities may not technically have to be "registered", but they most certainly would need to provide offering statements.

I'm far from a securities lawyer, but I would agree that GLBSE will get some SEC attention at some point in the future.

Considering what's taking place here this weekend, I think I'm glad Bitcoin isn't making a showing.

Well, I'll be arriving at the hotel this evening.

I don't have a BTC tshirt or anything to help with promotion... 

No, but the NYSE isn't the custodian of everybody's assets, either.

Didn't realize that was available, thanks!

Accuracy is important, especially when you're looking at the stock-specific page; but for the main assets page 2 or 3 decimal places should be fine.

Long-term, it'd be great for users to have their own "favorites" stocks they like to track, which could be set up through their preference settings.  When GLBSE gets to be 300-400 stocks large, you want a way for users to visually pare that back a bit to just assets they're interested in.

A real-time streaming ticker would be awesome at some point, but that might be asking too much at this stage.  

There really isn't a reason to extend prices all the way to 8 decimal places on the main assets page; 2 should be plenty.  It'd make the overall page a lot cleaner.

I'd also agree with above comments about too much space between rows.

Overall though, great update, thanks for all your work on the site!

Interested in any tax info on the following hypothetical situation:

Buy 1000 BTC @ $4 each.
Use 1000 BTC to purchase security on GLBSE
Sell said security for 1200 BTC.
Later sell 1200 BTC for $6 each.

When would you claim the investment income - when you sell your GLBSE security, or you sell your BTC, or both?

A relatively smooth transaction, thank you!

Still wondering if there's any proof of these codes being carded, or if he simply gave out an already-used code to the OP.

(Still a problem either way, obviously...)

Well, we're a week away...who's going?

Worthless codes don't neccessarily mean they were purchased with stolen credit cards. Did you get that confirmation from Best Buy?  Maybe he gave the same codes out to 2 different people.

I purchased some of his Amazon codes, so obviously I'll be watching this...
