We won't be selling any siafunds, but as soon as we've got the siafund wallet up and running the other holders of siafunds will be able to sell theirs. The code should be ready sometime tomorrow, but I'm not sure how long it'll be until we release 0.3.3.2.
Will the 1251
NOT under company control be available to trade on exchanges or are there some limitations on how they can be used?
There's no limitation to how the siafunds outside of our control can be used. I'm sure they'll be added to an exchange at some point.
Is there a way to buy siafunds? I would really want to have at least one.
Yeah Taek, are you planning to float siafunds on an open market again?
Nevermind buying them. how do you import them into your wallet?
You can't import them into your wallet at the moment. When trying to push the release out on June 7th, we ended up with more on our plate than we could manage. The siafund wallet was chosen to be delayed. It's almost ready at this point, you can import them into your wallet and check your balance, I just need to test the functions that allow you to send them to other people.
After that code gets merged, it's only a matter of releasing 0.3.3.2. I'm not sure what the timeline is on 0.3.3.2, but there are a few other issues that I would like to clean up. (roaming wallet.dat, renter doesn't tell you how much you've spent on storage, and a few bug fixes to the uploading code).

the original agreement was that Nebulous would retain 8500 and no more than 1500 would be sold at IPO. Taek has stated that they will not be selling any more. So all sales would be third party.
As of right now, Nebulous owns 8780 siafunds, which we have no plans to put into circulation. This is the company's primary source of income.
There are also ~61 siafunds that were never claimed which we are in possession of. They are legally ours, but we're putting them aside for people who are late in claiming their sianotes. We are under no obligation to honor latecomers, but we've already agreed to honor it for a few people who were only a few days late.
