It looks like someone put in a sell order of over 2k shares at .00089999 (probably someone who bought at .0005) at the same time kslaughter had a large sell order at .0009.
kslaughter then changed his .0009 sell order to .00089998 so it would jump in front of the .0008999 sell order.
The shananagans continue...
I think more folks would take this IPO more seriously if the IPO price wasn't being manipulated so blatantly. For example, kslaughter said there would be 20,000,000 early adopter shares available at .0005, but has continued to try to force the price of early adopter shares up with large sell orders at .0005, .0006, then .0007, .0008, and then .0009.
As I was typing this email, a large block of shares just showed up at .0008!
Bakewell only wishes he had these talents
Its called a market.
No, I believe it's called market manipulation.
AMC is a hybrid Bitcoin mining and development cooperative describing itself as "the next big mining cooperative" is releasing today an offering to early-adopters of Five million (5,000,000) BitFunder virtual shares and issuing another twenty million (20,000,000) BitFunder virtual shares which will be used for the growth and expansion fund, which will receive a total of 100% of the company's virtual-currency profits after all expenses until the total dividends paid is equal to the offering price of .0005 BTC per share and 12 months have elapsed since the initial offering. The Cooperative is hoping to raise up to 2,500 Bitcoins. The offering price will be 0.0005 Bitcoins for the first 20,000,000 early-adopter shares thereafter the price will be .001 BTC per share. If demand is strong enough then share prices may increase throughout the IPO.
The first 20m shares were to be sold at
BTC0.0005, the market is now at 40m shares, it's not clear how we have got to 40m from the stated 5m and 20m but I guess it's to do with the rapid growth AMC has seen
The second issue of 20m shares should be selling at
BTC0.001 by the estimated time they would be released, but the stock is doing very well now and I can see why slaughter wants to stock as many miners as possible, to get their foot in the door so they can compete with Avalon
I think slaughter is in his right to sell the shares as he can - in the long run, it will pay off by allowing him to purchase the 20,000 chips he has promised
I agree he should be more open about business but people need to understand he's clearly very busy. He's promised us a lot and we are right to expect high standards, but if he spends all his time responding to everyone grilling him all the time, he's not going to get a lot of work done..
