Announcements Du Jour:
Motions, Notifications, Issuer Details, Contracts, and Business Plans can all be edited now using the built-in wysiwyg html editor. It uses a very restrictive set of HTML tags, and while you can edit the source and insert your own tags, most everything that you don't see as a button on there will be stripped out at submission time so don't get too crazy. I will also be updating many of the contracts over the next week or so to fix them where they clearly had line break issues, etc, that were a result of the previous form entry system.
The Asset Creation Fee will go up to 10 BTC starting April 1.
Going forward, assets coming to us from any other exchanges will be refunded the full asset creation fee price.
Assets for businesses that have a documented minimum of 6 months of profitability will also qualify for a refund on the asset creation fee.
I am working on an additional discount program for issuers that verify their ID's via third party services. For example, if you are fully verified on BTCJAM, we would likely be willing to offer you a 5 BTC discount on asset creations. We will not be doing verification ourselves. If you know of any great third-party verification services, please let us know so we can work on incorporating them.
We will soon have a "Black Market" tab on the Market page. Assets that have NO votes that are 3x or more of their YES votes will go to that tab. (eg, if there are 3 YES votes and 12 NO votes, then you go to the Black Market)
Hopefully most of these changes are self explanatory. We want good quality assets with proven track records.
Wrapping things up, the best news of the day may be this:
https://btcjam.com/listings/2053 ... Check out the collateral as BTC-TC assets functionality! Very cool use of the BTC-TC OAuth API.
Kudos to the BTCJAM team!
Cheers.
