As the title says, the fee for opening a new account on MPEx is 30 BTC, effective immediately. Already existing accounts are unaffected. The fee is projected to keep increasing for the indeterminate future.

Maybe not, but I wouldn't give ~400 dollars for nothing to someone who cannot pay 10 dollars for a domain; so hosts it on a subdomain of a site which hosts child prn anyway.

Um, MPEX has always had better assets than GLBSE, but anyway, your statement is certainly not true anymore!

It's not April Fools Day yet.

MPEx has two assets I think are possibly worthwhile: SatoshiDICE and BitVPS.  There are pass-throughs for both of them on GLBSE.

Yes, it's another exchange...like NASDAQ vs NYSE.  Apparently it's down right now: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/10xtqg/glbse_the_biggest_bitcoin_stock_exchange_just/

That's not how it works.  You have to justify to yourself that it's worth the fee.

If they haven't communicated value, then they've failed at marketing.

Different things.  They don't owe you anything, so they don't have to justify anything.

WOW 30btcs to use a site that is designed worst than craigslist and has two stocks. I would like to know how this fee is going to help the site. Are you going to get more servers? Are you going to focus on a better UI and maybe an API? I mean I would never pay for something that obviously doesn't show a return in the site.

The fee is mostly there to keep out people who have no business investing. These may or may not be the sort of people that don't distinguish worse and worst.

Load of bull. You are just milking users.
What about small scale investors? They certainly have buisness investing, but cannot afford 30 BTC.

That is what he wants, he only wants whales on his service, obviously from that statement.

I would gladly pay 30btcs, I probably pay up to 50 btcs for lifetime trading but when it looks like that money is just going into someone's pocket and not actually helping the site, or making attempt to make the site better, and cleaner, and at least buy a domain. I mean that is where my problem lies and while we are all greedy here, your level of greed super seeds anyone's else.

Wow.

Quote
Mircea Popescu : In general a dev should be able to survive on that once bitcoin takes off a little. So yeah. Trying to build for the future, as always.

Shane Kinney : Its awesome that you built this platform. I can think of so many cool bells and whistles that I can build into bitotter. I'm gonna start simple, but it could become very cool.

(from here)

Stop and think for a minute. There's this exchange website which deliberately eschews turning itself into a broker, in order to allow people in the community to do something useful by themselves. It deliberately and at some expense is designed and built to empower the community.

And what you do is trashtalk it and so forth?

Ponder that for a while.

How much is security worth to you?  GPG signed orders, huge liquidity in some issues (S.MPOE), only quality companies.

The reason there are only 4 stocks is that there are only 4 companies out there that are worth investing in.  The rest are either scams or run by the incompetent.

The site is fully functional, and once you figure out how to do the gpg stuff (a bit tricky), which is REQUIRED if you care about security of your coins, you can place and cancel trades more quickly than on the former exchange known as GLBSE.

Why do they dominate the market?

Let me tell you. :-)

1) They are easy to use once you get to know how to use them.  Much like any computer application.  They are for power users, not people who expect F1 to be the DWIM key.

2) Expensive is relative.  The cost to the average user is not major compared to the ROI.  There are less expensive options for day traders and other consumer-level traders, but they don't have the full featureset (which you may not need).

3) They are *nuts* about innovation.  They keep the interface pretty static (which makes sense) and continually test and improve the backend.

4) Per #1, the industrial ubiquity means that you can go from terminal to terminal, floor to floor, and while the layout may be different, you'll be able to use the system.  Your dad can teach you how to use it, if he's in the industry.  The number of people who can help you (beyond the people coming out from Bloomberg to train you, or at their corp facility) is immense.

It isn't a failure cause the data is good and it is free, same with MPEX the data could be good, but if the design isn't there plus the lack of an API will never attract the big users they want.

WOW 30btcs to use a site that is designed worst than craigslist and has two stocks. I would like to know how this fee is going to help the site. Are you going to get more servers? Are you going to focus on a better UI and maybe an API? I mean I would never pay for something that obviously doesn't show a return in the site.

Wow worse than craigslist? We all know what a failure that guy's site is.

It isn't a failure cause the data is good and it is free, same with MPEX the data could be good, but if the design isn't there plus the lack of an API will never attract the big users they want.

And you know. Cause you're like, on the internet. And know things. And stuff. Stfu?

So to invest in an exchange I have to go to a totally different website?
Wow.

That pisses me off about the god-damned real world exchanges, too.  I have to fucking go to some site or worse, some fucking human being, to invest in companies or commodities.  If I don't, I have to spend a shitload of money to get direct access to the fucking trading floor, and the user experience there sucks ass.
You know, in 'merica, it's the laws and regulations that require that, right?

As the title says, the fee for opening a new account on MPEx is 30 BTC, effective immediately. Already existing accounts are unaffected. The fee is projected to keep increasing for the indeterminate future.

How do you justify this ridiculous fee?  where/to whom does this fee go? 
It goes to their crack team of web developers. That's why the site is so slick and doesn't have to share a server and domain name with a romanian porn board.

WOW 30btcs to use a site that is designed worst than craigslist and has two stocks. I would like to know how this fee is going to help the site. Are you going to get more servers? Are you going to focus on a better UI and maybe an API? I mean I would never pay for something that obviously doesn't show a return in the site.

The fee is mostly there to keep out people who have no business investing. These may or may not be the sort of people that don't distinguish worse and worst.
Bitcoin is all about crowdsourcing. Besides, it's better for potential issuers/shareholders that there are more users on the site to drive volume, this will not help that.
Also, you're the most incredibly condescending business representative I've ever had the displeasure of speaking to. There's a reason your ignore button is highlighter-orange.

Even shutdown GLBSE is better than Mpex.....that is how much the mpex setup sucks.

Plus....the PR person is kind of a douche. Usually PR isn't supposed to be an a-hole (as demonstrated in every thread she takes part).

Hey, MP, I would be willing to work for bitcoin as your PR person. I would not scare away potential investors by calling them names. How about it?

You could hire Josef Fritzl to be your PR person and present a better public image.

MPEx could have so much potential, all it needs is:

-Lower registration fees. Make up for it by charging more for listings if you like, but I don't see why many people paying $350 to trade the paltry few securities on there at the minute, particularly with the regulatory risk involved. More users = more volume = more securities.
-A site that doesn't look like absolute arse. Again, this would bring in more users, image is important to a lot of people.
-Its own domain name that it doesn't share with a romanian porn site (I mean really, nice image).
-A PR person who understands that "Public Relations" is supposed to be about being helpful and polite, getting your exchange some good rep and some good publicity. Alternatively you could get a Grizzly Bear in an SS uniform, that'd be a slight step up from the current PR rep.

Unfortunately the chances of that happening are about the same as the chances of me finding buried treasure in my garden, so I guess we'll just have to wait for some budding entrepreneur to set up a viable GLBSE replacement.

Peeps, just please stop repeating this cliche.

Conglomerate domains have their tactical uses, in this case as probably as a anti-filtering and anti-takedown measure. I don't have a specific knowledge about polimedia.us and Romania; but a conglomerate domain that would host a bitcoin securities exchange and a financial news site would have a very good prior restraint defense against stupid takedowns.

In Europe this tactic worked for the users of LiveJournal and many other traditional publishers.

This "dedicated domain name" really is a cheapo marketing shibboleth. If you don't believe me, read the post of the local hit&run marketing expert: reeses. Of course I have to quote it in full, since reeses always doing the purge of his posts before he runs.

The owner of mpex hosts it on his servers. Just search the forums lots of people reference it.

It is kind of silly not to have a dedicated domain for mpex.  However, while there is pr0ns available via the same hostname, there is no child pornography there.  That's just an added level of "eww" made up by ciuciu when "he also hosts porn" didn't have any effect.  It also hosts a boring blog in moon-man gibberish.

None of the people claiming there is child pornography on the site has been able to provide evidence beyond,"Look for yourself," which you can understand my unwillingness to do.  It's a romanian 4chan, so weird shit pops up from the members.

Hmm...first bitcoin bank of 4chan...

I don't think the fact that MPEx lacks a dedicated domain name will stop a securities investigation  Cheesy

In addition to which, is it really wise to have it on a ".us" domain?

IMO it is better to be upfront about the association with pornography.

BitPay came out of the need for pornographers associated with Stare Magazine to have non-reversible payment method.

Lots of merchants using BitPay will have to do extensive hand washing once this becomes a wider knowledge.

So you are basically saying: Unless you have 3 months of revenue in bitcoin, go away. Clearly, MPEx is not there to provide crowd funding for small projects. Serious entrants only. Unlike GLBSE, the operator does not see this as a "toy".


From a PM to me:
Quote from: Nefario

When GLBSE started, it was a fun project that was mostly a toy, using for all intents and purposes monopoly money.

Even if I did meet your standards, I would not list with you. Your site looks like shit... Vote on that? And you speak from emotions just like nef did, which makes you just as bad. It does not matter if you are the leader or not you still make the site look bad. See what I said before was just from a outside view and you took it personal not as a learning tool. Stop taking it so personal and worry about your business and not your feelings.  Wink

They think they are free and clear thanks to a legal team... U.S VS YOU  The U.S. bank roll = everlasting compared to MPEx = small I am sure lol

I could give two flips less if you let me in your exchange, it is no better then mine... which does not exist lol. Your exchange is in just as much danger as the others do not down play it. The thing is if you do not comply the chance for loss is larger....... which you said you would do already.

Well firstly, we weren't discussing bitcoin. You were yakking about "pissing off the gubermint". Soros' been a fugitive from US justice for what, 20 years now? 30? Just because wikipedia doesn't tell you things you shouldn't know doesn't mean they don't exist. (Tax fraud).

And since we're naming names, Roman Polanski might work too, tho he wasn't either rich or important enough to really matter in this discussion. Oh, and that wikileaks guy is still giving your wanna-be "gov't of whole world" the finger.

Wake up and smell the coffee. It's a big world and it mostly doesn't give a bacon wrapped shit about the US. Every highschool has this retarded kid who thinks he "dominates" or w/e. Usually twenty years later he's the janitor working some highway gas station.
