your problem is that I am using "ponzi", let me rephrase the question (its not an accusation but again....)
1. You issue an asset a1 with 10k NXT initial price
2. Then you issue an asset a2 with 5k NXT initial price.
You buy into the 1st asset, valid/invalid market rates, doesn't matter. In this way, you:
a. prop up asset a1 by increasing the market trading and shareholding pattern
b. increase book value of a2 by bringing in assets worth X2 the a2 asset
I am assuming there were no remaining issues with the first two parts, let me know if I missed a remaining question.
First of all the "book value" of the operating assets are not anything that is reported and used for valuations, at least I havent done that for the operating assets. The sharkfund0 and JLH are holding assets, so the book value is all that matters. So, unlike in the real world where operating company valuations are reported using book value multiples as one component and to artificially inflate this would fraudulently inflate the valuation, with my assets this is not the case. I might have mentioned a few times that XYZ asset has X million NXT, which is a "cash" value of X per share. But I dont remember ever saying any of the operating assets has a book value of X million NXT from all these assets and so the operating asset is worth M*X.
That being said I am usually issuing assets at different times and I am never doing any false trading of the assets. I do as I have written before spontaneously buy underpriced assets, mine or any others, but these are real tradings and since trading is one of my skills and I seem to be somewhat proficient, I feel it is an acceptable use of operating asset capital, especially when I am not having any fixed overheads and there is plenty of cash for the minimal needs. In any case, I still have the assets purchased and they are less liquid than NXT itself, but with the minimal cash needs I cold always just sell of bits and pieces as needed. So I am viewing these tradings like moving funds from a checking account to savings account or certificate of deposit. Varying levels of liquidity and income. I hope this is not getting me in to trouble.
Basically I make asset trades to make more money directly from trading and not for market manipulating. One way to think about it is that since I am often involved in pretty much most of the significant developments in the NXT universe, I have essentially insider info, but I do not believe there is any prohibition even in the real world from using knowledge you rightfully gained to make trading profits. So, now you have successfully interrogated me to get part of my secret on how I am almost always right with my tradings. Again I hope to not be in trouble for this, my only excuse is when I am having the knowledge that coinomat is going to double, how can I not just buy 1 million of them. Maybe I should let others to buy this, and usually I am announcing the inside info I have and waiting for some time to give others a chance to get the info and act on it. If after some time, an hour or so, it is still there, I grab it. I am sure that there are some cases where I did not have the discipline to announce and wait before I buy. I am guilty of this.
Have you done something like this? Cause I see Instadex (NXT-74VC-NKPE-RYCA-5LMPT, correct me if I am wrong) holds - NSC and jl777hodl, even when its not supposed to be a fund?
NSC is sent to me by the girl whose "proposal" saved the 50 million stolen NXT! this is just a reward for running servers and is sent automatically. the JLH in InstantDEX came from the cleanup process I described to you earlier and also before the start of funding. Over the months my tradings described above had made somewhat of a mess inside some of the assets and to untangle them and make it easier to understand, I did marketrate swaps from my personal account. The JLH in InstantDEX was from this housecleaning. Since the core assets are all moving inside of SuperNET, the whole linkage thing is not meaningful and I ended up scrambling some of it with my tradings. I felt it was best to get them as streamlined as possible give the constraints of marketrate swaps. The problem is that I spent all my NXT buying assets mostly other people's assets. I am pretty sure that I have purchase more assets than everybody else combined (excepting the mgwCOIN assets), so all of the NXT that I have made are reinvested into the NXT communities other asset holders. If you look at my history and the top assets that are not mine, you will find that most likely I am one of the biggest asset holders.
so, think of these assets in the operating assets as common stock owned in the company's treasury acct. I am sure many real world companies have brokerage accounts where they own some stocks. It just happens that since the majority of trading volume on the NXT AE are with my assets, and I actively trade assets, my assets have my assets.
So how are your assets are linked to each other?
not as much as before, but there are still links based on the current holdings. The JLH is horizontal asset and it include over two dozen assets and of course a lot of them are mine. The sharkfund0 asset is tuned to reflect Teleport, think of it as a sector fund. NXTprivacy owns the majority of Privatebet and 30% of cryptocard. Privatebet will own the NXTventure incubated assets as I have described in this thread.
The InstantDEX does not have ownership linkages, but it does have revenue sharing linkages. Half of its revenues are going to assetholders and the other half are shared among various parties, such as MGW, Tradebots (aka NXTcoinsco triple share), BTCD stakers, uMGW operators, and some unallocated revenues that I plan to use top optimize positive feedbacks. Currently i am thinking of providing global revenue sharing to all the SuperNET users for most of the balance. I figure getting this revenue flow would be more effective than any sort of advertising campaign, but I need to see how things unfold.
Tradebots (its actually called NXTcoinsco but I cant rename it) will be doing revenue sharing of its own. Writers of tradebots will be earning some fees, some of these tradebots will be designed for automated trading, like the Metatrader expert advisers. Unlike the traditional bot where you pay $100 or $1000 or more, these tradebots you only pay with a percentage of profits. This allows autotrading on a pay for performance basis and I think this industry is badly in need for this as most products are backtested fantastically, but their realtime performance is of course much worse and possible harmful. But with the money upfront and burdensome refund policies, well there is only incentive for a compelling direct response website to get the order. With my plan the incentive is only to make profitable bots and this I am hoping will let investors experiment with bots that the author is actually caring that it works. [I plan to be one of these authors as I spent 6+ years working on an SVM based automated realtime forex trading system. In my backtests, I can get 98%+, but with realtime 85% is about as good as I have achieved at the raw data. I was just getting very promising results in November of last year after so many years. Then I discovered crypto and this project is on hold but halfway ported into Tradebots]
If you have any specific questions, please ask them, you are quite clever with asking short uncapped questions that this must be your revenge for my forcing you to read the whole thread
Thanks for clarifying that.
Though as I already said, contingency was not only about flight risk but also about IRL issues. A leaderless project doesn't do well. So again let me ask you nicely - What is the contingency plan in case there are issues - seen or unforeseen between the project? You might think crypto space is separate from fiat space but you also must be knowing how soon things fall apart here.
I plan on not getting killed for at least 6 months. Let us accept that if I am "disappeared", this will be a setback to the project. However, with "worst case" risk of 20% and the source being open and my copious postings, I am sure within 6 months all my projects will be on track, so the tech risk of me being gone is a six month delay. I will not speculate on the impact of theoretical competition during my theoretical disappearance. I have found it pointless to combine hypotheticals when planning for the unlikely event and the unknowable nature. I hope that is ok.
My goal is to get obsolete within 6 months. It might take longer, depends on how quickly we can staff up. So the investors must risk their money on my not being disappeared. This is why I am anon, there are both legal and extra legal pressures that can be applied to a known person. I prefer to protect myself and the investors with anon status and to be very careful around buses. In anycase, I know that investors money is very important, but keep in mind in these scenarios I am most likely dead, so this is a much bigger problem for me than a 6 month delay.
James, again the question is what are the terms for releasing the escrow? How would one decide if the need is justified or not (yes I know you hold 1600 BTC now and have not run away with it) ? Specially considering I have seen escrowers who deal in bad faith and yourself are a known name in the community? Again this is not an accusation but rather a concern? Do you think its a valid one? IF common sense is all there to it, then lets drop it.
I thought I answered this. The trustees are obligated to follow the "charter" of the SuperNET, basically the allowed expenses that I outline in the PDF and the posts prior to initial funding. so the 10% bankroll for the supertraders, the NXTventure fundings for investments, and of course the tradings to get the advantaged investments from the new coins. These are not so frequent events and the NXT community is coming up with proposed standards of conduct, even an Oath for the trustees. The current thinking is that all the trustees would analyze a request for funding, then evaluate if it is within the charter and then if the majority of trustees approve it, then one of them is selected with a notice of approval. Then the approver approves it to make sure there is no double spending and some checks and balances against alien mind control and morphing into a monkey.
So, there is a proposer (probably me at first) -> trustees -> selected trustee (or denied) -> approver -> payment sent
The list of trustees is being nominated and selected, so I dont know who they are and I do not want to be involve in this process as I already have too much influences just by being the proposer. We have not even started on selecting the approver. This person's job is primarily to detect alien mind control, so as long as it is a person who has good judgement that there is no funny business going on with the entire rest of the payment process, then we are good.
Separately there is the voting of the asset holders, it is described in details, so I wont repeat it here.
I apologize for mistrusting you. It turns out you have asked what are probably the best questions about SuperNET of anybody.
Thank you!
James
