Hi dexX7,

All will be released at once when the IPO phase starts. Should there be shares left at the end of the IPO phase, those will be withdrawn.

@OhShei8e: Danke für den Hinweis auf den kostenlosen Yubikey, hatte ich schon gesehen, ich dachte nur das kostet etwas. Werde ich gleich mal bestellen das Ding.

Noch eine Frage - ich kann doch wenn ich BC auf Mtgox habe diese irgendwie über Bitcoin.de auf meine Bank überweisen lassen (die wollen ja direkt mir so ner Bank (Fidor Bank - Firmensitz München zusammenarbeiten) ?

I'm sure that governments can and will change their collective minds about how best to handle Bitcoin; rapid change in the Bitcoin landscape more generally is just something we should assume. However, this seems to me to be a larger and broader issue, rather than a being a concern which is specifically focused on this fund or that fund, this exchange or that exchange.

Should be fine.

Hey everyone,

A few people have made a suggestion about changing the tiers to be more like

0.5%
0.45%
0.4%
0.35%
0.3%
0.25%

And apply the fee to both buy and sell. It is the thought of a few people that free buy and fee'd sell is bad.

Thoughts? (Yes, I know several people will say lower the fees (and it will increase trades)) unfortunately as I have stated before, I spend way more out of pocket on lawyers at the moment and that is a large risk for me. I might consider doing it for a few days to see if it helps but I am not sure that results would be immediate.)

Hi felente,

Fund Performance

Potential investors should understand that this is not an absolute return fund.

The issuer provides no guarantee of positive performance, and investors may receive back less than their original investment. The value of Bitcoin businesses and of Bitcoin itself relative to fiat is highly volatile, and Bitcoin financial markets, such as they are, appear to be relatively inefficient from an information theoretic standpoint.

Disclaimer of Guarantees, Indemnification and Legal Jurisdiction

The fund issuer makes no guarantee, either explicit or implied, as to the suitability or fitness for purpose of this fund for any investment goal or for the needs of any specific investor. No individual should consider investing in this fund if they require such a guarantee, or if they are in any doubt whatsoever as to the meaning of any word, phrase or concept employed in this document or in an external resource referenced by this document. Potential investors should not invest in this fund if their own personal risk tolerance does not accommodate the general picture of risks described in the section headed 'Risk Factors.' Potential investors should seek independent financial advice if they have any questions about the suitability of this fund for their needs.

By investing in the fund, investors assert and agree that such investment is at their sole risk. By investing in the fund, investors assert and agree that in no event will the issuer or the fund manager or any person or entity involved in the operation of the fund be liable for any damages, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages arising out of the investor's investment in the fund. By investing in the fund, investors agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the fund issuer, the fund manager, their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all claims and expenses arising out of their investment in the fund; notwithstanding the aforementioned indemnification, the fund issuer shall remain liable to each investor for that investor's proportional interest in the Net Asset Value of the fund.

By investing in the fund, investors assert and agree that they understand, acknowledge, and accept that the fund manager is not a registered financial advisor and that the fund issuer is not a bank, brokerage firm, insurer, exchange or other financial institution; they further assert and agree that the operation of the fund is provided as a service to the exchange, not as a service to any individual investor.

This document will be interpreted under the laws of England and Wales.

Section headings used in this document are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.

Individuals considering an investment in this fund should ensure they are familiar with and fully accept the terms of service of the exchange itself; this fund is available solely through the exchange and should not in any way be construed as a direct offer or solicitation from the fund issuer to potential investors.

Potential investors for whom this document is in any way 'TL;DR' should not invest in this fund.


Initial Offering, Minimum Participation Level, and Fund Closure

Following the initial offering of shares in the fund at a price of 0.1 BTC per share, investment will begin as described in this document, provided that a minimum of 2500 shares have been taken up. If the initial offering does not attain this level, the fund issuer may choose to cancel the exchange listing and promptly return the fund's Net Asset Value to shareholders. If at any point in the future, redemptions bring the total number of outstanding shares below 2500, the issuer may likewise opt to close the fund and return its Net Asset Value to shareholders. The initial exchange listing fee will be paid entirely by the fund issuer and will not be charged against the value of the fund, regardless of whether the initial offering attains the minimum participation level.

More generally, the issuer retains the right to close the fund at any time, for any reason -- including a lack of suitable investment candidates -- its only obligation to shareholders being to distribute current Net Asset Value to them. Should this occur, the issuer intends to provide investors with public notice 30 days prior to closure, but in certain circumstances (including but not limited to the death or disability of the fund manager), notice may not be provided in this fashion.
