2015-02-13 Reuters - Regulator raps Australian bitcoin IPO hopeful

[Black Arrow]

Melbourne-based start-up Bitcoin Group told Reuters in December it hoped to raise A$20 million ($15.6 million) on the Australian Stock Exchange and has been seeking expressions of interest from potential investors from the Chinese community through Wechat, China's hugely popular instant messaging service.

The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) said on Friday it was prohibiting Bitcoin Group from making any further statements about its planned listing until it had filed a prospectus.

Hey, guys! This is the most up-to-date Australian thread I can find on BItcointalk.

My mob -- IndiaMikeZulu -- are setting up a tiny clumsy 'manual' crypto-for-bullion project. I have posts on Reddit Doge and Nxt, on the Unobtanium thread, at Perth and Melbourne Bitcoin Meetups, and now here.

It's a Proof-of-Concept thing. An ounce or two -- fair prices! -- to get a Perth dealer on board, and to learn the ropes.

Escrow will be provided.

We sent the dealer three ounces of silver as a gift: put it up for sale; see what happens. The bars should be on his Website within a day or two.

Please help us with this project.
