This Bitfunder thing is a total mess.
Ukyo the Bitfunder & Weexchange sites was supposedly getting registered in "respectable" non us country i think you mentioned before, what on earth does us laws(that looks to be the problem here) have to do with Bitfunder and there users.

Country of origin doesnt matter, what matters is the markets where these securities are offered:

This Bitfunder thing is a total mess.
Ukyo the Bitfunder & Weexchange sites was supposedly getting registered in "respectable" non us country i think you mentioned before, what on earth does us laws(that looks to be the problem here) have to do with Bitfunder and there users.
If the site's .com domain is a problem by all mean change that, but if the Bitfunder and Weexchange both is registered in other country's and the site's owner(s) is not American citizens(Japan and Australia i presume) whats the problem. No gag order that prevents you from communicating whats behind the drastic change at least....

Why will American's be locked out of the site and why does international users on Bitfunder have to get verified (at Weexchange !!??) at a level where it's hard or impossible (at least in that short timespan) to achieve for a large number of the worlds population or do you expect all international(and US) users that miss at least one of driver license/passport/creditcard to get that in the coming 22 days, will Bitfunder pay for those users expenses getting those then...


And what has verification level at Weexchange anything to do with international users(or even usa based users current trading) future trades or not on Bitfunders site ?
If people wanted to trade btc for usd/cad/aud at Weexchange i can somewhat understand that they might need to get some verification level for that, but Weexchage and Bitfunder was supposedly set up like this to prevent any problems for people trading shares at bitfunder.

If this change will force anyone to sell at loss, are Bitfunder going to cover there losses then as this is not the conditions people signed up for as a user of Bitfunder...

Also the Weexchange site dosent send out verification emails, at least thats an issue for some and i saw someone mention they had the same problem with Bitfunder to, fix that !

2FA really should be possible to remove and just have that as default for people that will need to transfer shares to another family member for example and they don't have modern phones that can handle it. if other options than using mobile phones exists and works on Bitfunder you need to make a good explanation on exactly how people should do to make that thing work unless the requirements will be lifted for transfers.


What will happen to the us citizens that can't get verified on Weexchange and those that refuse to sell at underprices caused by this mess, are Bitfunder going to steal there assets(stocks/shares..) ?

What will happen to international users that don't see what has happened before the 1 Nov and can't get verified on Weexchange or refuse to sell shares at underprices caused by this mess, will bitfunder steal there assets(stocks/shares...) to ?

I saw it was mentioned they could still transfer out funds(btc's) after the 1 Nov but what about shares they may never will be able to sell, are people allowed to redeem shares back to the asset issuer after the respective deadline 8 Oct/1 Nov ?

Will redeems of shares work for those that can't be verified after there respective deadline (8 Oct/1 Nov) ?

What about shares that people have left after the deadline, will the asset issuer be able to call back those at a further date and pay the shareholders that can't get verified ?

Will the us/international shareholders still be able to receive dividend after there respective deadline if they can't get verified ?

How on earth did you think this is going to work out for shares that don't have any buyback options in the contract, will Bitfunder buy those people's shares(that has got, will get or may get there shares in a position where they can't sell them) out at fair prices if people want out of them or are Bitfunder just going to confiscate them ?

As it looks now the whole thing looks like a gigantic attempt to steal btc's from users on Bitfunder if things not get fixed, explained and improved soon in a way so that all people have a reasonable way to continue trading as it was before on Bitfunder or at least so there able to access and sell off all there current holdings if they so like.
I presume there will be 100's if not 1000's of lawsuits(..or one big joint lawsuit for all that was effected) from people if this will be the final version of how things is going to work on Bitfunder..

would his own asset be listed on the exchange?  technically, the ukyo.bond would not meet the listing requirement.

Maybe it's OK as long as he only issues the loan to non-US customers?

Yes, I've done many identity's checks and documents required were always Citizens Card and an utility bill.

I know many people who doesn't have credit cards, passport or driver's license, this are awful requirements for nationality proof.

Yes, we should get enough points to verify just with an ID and the utility bill.

Is this the preface of the final closure of Bitfunder?
Now it's almost dead. Majority of people will not bother to submit identity documents. So, it's safe to assume it will be closed after 1 November.
Probably just a few will verify.

Just out of curiosity, why not just move bitfunder to a friendlier country like China?
I don't think Ukto wants to move away from the us along with his family.

And I find that there is no option to upload my identity card, that is, I believe the most important identification in most country, should be worth 50 points.
My guess is that it is an Americanism, as they do not have identity cards, but driver licenses has been providing that somewhat.
In most other parts of the world, driver licenses do not carry such a high identity function (and are actually refused in many cases). And many people actually do not bother with getting a driving license (especially if living in a big city). What it should be is identity card or driver license, only for countries without identity cards.

Well don't travel to other EU countries, eg. the Netherlands. Which is very quick extraditing people to the US, even their own citizens, under mere suspicion of a crime. Roll Eyes

I wont!

Burnside made a similar announcement after the Pirateat40/SEC fiasco. 
There was shouting, a handful of prominent experts in international trade law weighed in with their august opinions, and burnside made a halfhearted retraction along the lines of "Lolz ugize, i wasn't serious!"

TL;DR: For those willing to read between the lines, yes.

Especially that you can't change provided info. When I was registering I just type random characters to the fields (besides email) and now my name is jnba'ldkdbnsd. How I find a document now Wink
Besides I don't have driving licence and passport.... Don't have car and haven't been abroad...

Personally I think taking advantage of the new crowdfunding laws is the way to go, and even if those laws were not being enacted then somehow becoming legal is a much better course of action. Getting entrenched now as the legal bitcoin stock exchange will be well worth it.

+10
Almost all Bitcoin exchanges have gone legit, and that has greatly benefited bitcoin. I hope someone will do the same for the bitcoin security market. It may be a tall order, but if someone pulls it off, at least we could begin attracting more serious investments rather than being limited to illegally betting some playmoney in casino exchanges on mostly scam assets.
