[INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY] Kraken.com (Payward, Inc.)

[btcx]

UPDATED 01/Nov/2013

Hey guys,

Two things:

1.  We've got some room left in our Series A round of funding and I thought it'd be cool to give the community a chance to participate.

2.  Even if you aren't able to or interested in investing, we are looking for loans (in all currencies) to cover reserves for margin trading.  These funds would be completely secured and not at risk--they're just float while a user has a position open, which is collateralized by their assets.  Payward would be your counterparty to the loan, not other users.  If you've got BTC, LTC, NMC, XRP, USD, EUR just sitting around in significant quantities ($100k+/500+ BTC) and you want to earn some modest interest on it, get in touch.


Participation in this round of funding is available to accredited investors only.  Generally, that means:

6. a natural person who has individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1 million at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person;

7. a natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year

I apologize for not making this more accessible.  Given our goals and the professionalism/experience of our other investors, everything has gotta be 100% above board and done within the requirements of the law.

Payward, Inc. is a United States, Delaware C-corp, founded in July 2011.

Full pitch, extra details available to qualified, interested parties.  PM me for more info.  Try the exchange at https://kraken.com

This is relevant to my interests. (The company, not the investment opportunity which is out of my league.)

I hope we'll finally have a solid BTC margin trading platform, as well as some other badly needed services.

Too rich for my blood but glad to see this. Good luck with the venture.

[Bitcoin Oz]

Great interface; kills bitstamp's and Gox's.
Nice transitions -to- order details
Color scheme is easy on the eyes
Can't wait to have fun on this exchange

Found a slight bug (screenshot): http://prntscr.com/18655c
---upper left xrp falls behind the div layer---

Only thing I hope you include are realtime bid/ask orders as seen on clarkmoody.com


Good luck with the round of investments I'll keep an ear out for you.

I came accross this thread looking for information.. to perhaps include payward compatability into my ripple client that I am developing. Now, knowing that my actions may serve to make the rich richer (minimum assets to invest), I'll have to think about it and investigate other options. Maybe I'm being harsh. Grumpy mood today lol.

My question is how it's related to the Bitcoin Embassy in Canada: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?k=BSe/0zI5EKPFwjzibKdFkV6fiKgEn04G8ufwU3MZRuT8G6wTsA2hPFxE3+jhD+/P5UuheAwIp4w=&domain=bitcoinembassy.com&prog_id=GoDaddy

Yes, this investment is still available.  In hindsight, I probably should have created a new topic for it rather than repurposing an old topic from the Seed round.

Can you clarify the question regarding Ripple and OC?  What makes you think we're related?

No relation to BE in Canada apart from redirecting the domain to be nice.

Is ogrr dead? I see that its still active, or you aren't investing in it. Also noticed in the general help some users are having issues with retrieving earned mBTC because there seems to be no admin activity. Just figured i'd ask
