Can we move the shares to **any** exchange?
until an exchange exists that is safe in the US, it's probably better to set up a ADDICTION specific site.
The bitfunder experience showed that even running a non-US exchange is not worth it.
some options:
1) bitcointalk thread for trading, tryion blastbob charge commission on sales for their time spent authorizing and tracking (labrat mining's system)
2) automated trustless system (nastyfan's system)
3) passthroughs: some investor buys a lot of shares, sets up their own exchange as a passthrough, charges commission or fee and sets up their own site.
That's a horrible idea and does not solve the initial problem. A dedicated exchange has the ability to solve legal problems (like Havelook is doing right now) while having an exchange for each stock only shifts the legal problems.
Also if you're holding multiple different shares it becomes highly inconvenient managing them with separate exchanges.
If you like exchanges shutting down every 6 months, go ahead. Just because something is legal in Panama doesn't mean it is legal in the us - bitfunder all over again... It's more convenient to have separate exchanges than try to track down my BTC from disappearing websites.
EDIT: ADDICTION is different than a stock, we are customers of resold hardware. Unlike all the cloud hashing services where you buy into a perpetually reinvesting system (managed group buy), this is a legitimate group buy. I paid money and bought something. Every week I pay for electricity, rent, and for someone to check up the equipment I bought. Once I own it, I'm free to sell it to whomever I'd like. Completely different jurisdiction than those who raised money to buy, manage, and reinvest hardware that they own and sub-license derivative proceeds through PMBs. There is no shift of legal problems because there are none. The legal problems come about when we mix with securities that are regulated by the SEC. And I know the SEC is US-only, but tell that to bitfunder.
grrrr
