A small status update:The exchange is finishing nicely and will definitely be done this month.
We will be doing security testing even after it is done so that is why we have reserved the entire rest of March as a deadline.
The coin votings will start soon.
We will call for votes after we have gathered a list of potential altcoins to add.
Feel free to give submissions in this thread. It would help our process and give better chances for your coin.
We have taken a shareholder list that shows the email, user ID and amount of shares owned by each person.
This is a very convenient feature offered by Cryptostocks.
With this list we can always retrieve your shares on another platform even if something were to happen to Cryptostocks.
We will also need to destroy our extra shares.
The total amount of shares there should be is 283,920, but we will leave ourselves an amount that is convenient for dividends.
This will be either 0, which would mean we will bring half of our profit to the site and it would all be shared by public shareholders or we will keep 70,980, in which case we would bring 100% of profit to the site and share it there between us and public shareholders.
We will probably go with 0 shares, because there are other expenses that are paid from our profits.
If we were to take from the full 100%, these costs would diminish the profits of public shareholders also.
We will probably have to contact the site support again, since there seems to be no automated way of destroying shares.
We discussed this before opening the IPO and they told it was possible.
