I remember lurking back when the nyan idea came into play.
It came as a result of this thread I believe:
A risk/reward analysis of insured Pirate returns: PPT.X, YARR, GIPPT, HashkingThe thread gives a few clear examples.
I am proud to announce the possibility of...
A Pirate-Pass-Through paying MORE than 7% Weekly!
Here's how it works. Two investors get together, or are matched through a third-party. One is the low-risk seeker, and one wants huge returns. Here's an example:
Lender A wants low-risk returns. He has 300 BTC.
Lender B wants high-risk PPT returns. He has 195 BTC.
The two pool their money for a total of 495 BTC. They purchase 300 shares of YARR for 1.65 BTC each (yes, the market depth is there as of the time of this writing.) Every week, they get 18 BTC in dividends. They split it up in this way:
Lender A gets 3.375 BTC
Lender B gets 14.625 BTC
This means that their returns are:
Lender A: 3.375 / 300 = 1.125% weekly
Lender B: 14.625 / 195 = 7.5% weekly
If pirate defaults, Lender A gets the 300 BTC; Lender B gets nothing. Therefore, this scheme entitles one person to risk-free 1.125% weekly returns, and the other person to 7.5% weekly returns with the same risk as pirate-direct.
This is evidenced by my earlier analysis. At a price of 1.71 BTC, Lender A gets about 1% weekly and Lender B gets about 7% weekly.
There are at least 3 opportunities that this provides:
1. Get-together, as above
2. Just buy shares of YARR yourself and be both people
3. A third-party service which offers 1.1% and 7.1% returns, matches up depositors, covers the unmatched bits, and takes a cut.
There is a fourth option; This is how my new issue, Nyancat Financial is set up to work. NYAN.C will probably pay about 9-10% per week.

FINAL VERSION: This will be sent to GLBSE in a few hours.

Investment income from NYAN.A, NYAN.B, and NYAN.C is pooled. NYAN.A is paid 0.01 bitcoins per share. NYAN.B is paid 0.02 bitcoins per share, and the rest of the money is paid to NYAN.C.
The sector and risk profile is:
1. NYAN: equal exposure to A, B and C funds

II. Operations of NYAN
Nyancat Financial is a bitcoin-only financial services company. We perform various financial services for our customers including bitcoin deposit accounts, bitcoin brokerage services, bitcoin securities, bitcoin trusts, and bitcoin loans. Our operations are collected into, and segregated by, the wholly owned bitcoin only bonds NYAN.A, NYAN.B and NYAN.C. Our operations in NYAN are simple and transparent. We are a bitcoin only company; we do not use leverage and we retain 100% backing of all customer deposits. By assigning and guaranteeing risk to the various securities in addition to interest rate, we allow investors to make decisions based on risk versus reward in a completely open and transparrent manner separate from the underlying securities backing the issues. If you do not see in NYAN.A, NYAN.B or NYAN.C a risk/reward profile that fits your investment strategy please contact us. We will custom-create an investment portfolio that matches your needs. We are capable of managing offline portfolios which do not expose themselves to company risk of specific institutions such as GLBSE, MtGOX, BTC-E, MPOE, Bitcoinia, and so forth.
