Could what happened to BTC.TC also happen with Havelock? What is the legal situation in Canada regarding virtual exchanges?
We don't know exactly whhy BTC-TC decided to close operations, only what's been mentioned on the threads. We're still having ongoing discussions with our legal team in order to keep Havelock operational. As an off-side was talking with Milo from Emgateway and was wondering if your legal team is running into similar issues. As a recommendation sometimes it makes more sense to get it going then work on the regulators  |

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

so it could be your legals advise you to close your operations? it seems that at least in the USA these types of exchangs are explicitly illegal, so maybe you should take some action on that like blocking USA's ip addresses? |

Hi Havelock,
just opened an account with you to participate on NEOBEE IPVO. Got one guestion. If for whatever reason anything happen with your exchange and it dissapears tomorow. How could I prove that I am the owner of NEOBEE shares? BitFunder has its assets list which is very transparent. I didn't find anything like that on your website.
Thanks for clarification a keep up the good work!

Such an asset list would also be a good addition to the Havelock site! |

lightbox/Havelock, I want to move my ASICMINER shares from BTC.TC to Havelock.
Can you provide me instruction on how to expedite this?
Thank YOU!
Havelock doesn't run the AM-PT, but ThickAsThieves does. He tells you how to move shares in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=300776.0Warning, read very carefully and follow all instructions. |

Just by my login so I have to keep my login as safe as private key to my public adress at BitFunder? Didn't read anything about that on your website. How often is unitholder list updated? |

Don't you think, it would be much safer to run the same public asset list as BF does? Identifying just by email is pretty risky and less practicable. In case of public adress registration, issuer may pay dividends even if he is not able to identify/contact shareholder, which is great because if the shareholder does not know about havelock shut down or for whatever reason may not regularly check his email, he gets what belongs to him anyway. It could save a lot of trouble for both, shareholder and issuer. In my view, this should be standard in this industry. |

not only that, but it would also guard you against your email provider suddenly closing, like it recently happened with lavabit |

not only that, but it would also guard you against your email provider suddenly closing, like it recently happened with lavabit As a manager, this is actually a good idea. As was noted, I already have access to everyone's email address, but some of those addresses are corporate (or domain) based, some are typical yahoo/gmail, and others just seem random. If a user's email is compromised, deleted, or their access is otherwise forfeited, I'd have no other way to get in touch with them. Having the option for a user to tie a Bitcoin address they control (outside of Havelock) to their account could make life a bit easier. |

We have discussed with our lawyers our situation and options for us to proceed in setting up Havelock as a long-term viable enterprise. We are now pursuing these options, but cannot provide a firm time frame as of now. We were hoping that we could be more specific but this is all the information we can provide at this time.

Do these options include dropping US customers like Bitfunder just announced? If this occurs, will they be allowed a reasonable amount of time in order to get their affairs in order? If this occurs, will said customers be required to pay fees in order to liquidate their assets? |
