It looks like DeVCorp is going to have some competition, co-operation, siblings, or whatever: more corps based on DeVCoin as their currency of choice / currency of issue.

So far the numbers of DeVCoins going into each are: DeVCorp 18,200,000; GDC 16,200,000; GFC 18,200,000; GRC 18,200,000.

Most likely each will issue a million shares, thus so far it is looking like the shares will be upwards of 16.2 or 18.2 DVC each at time of initial issue.

GDC is General Development Corp, GFC is General Financial Corp, GRC is General Retirement Corp. In general, typically in the Galactic Milieu one can say "Galactic" instead of General, thus these can also be referred to as Galactic Development Corp, Galactic Financial Corp and Galactic Retirement Corp. ("General" is basically a euphemism we use instead of "Galactic" when we don't want to draw due or undue attention to the involvement of the Galactic Milieu.)

You will need to float Devcoin to give it value. Something like mtgox but mtdev

You seem to mean the Digitalis Open Transactions Server, which is a cryptocurrency / stock / etc exchange...

First, please note that whether or not the term "Corp" indicates, on the planet known as M5, some specific form of legally incorporated corporation, it can also be a more generic term; it might help to think "Marine Corp" rather than "IBM Corp" although I suppose the Marines too are some kind of legally designated body or institution. One can also though refer to a chain gang of men working on roadworks as a corp or corps or men, can one not? (Maybe it is a confusion between corp and corps? Hmm...)

Whatever, the point here is not to jump to the conclusion that DeVCorp is some kind of limited or unlimited company or corporation officially "incorporated" here on "the planet known as Earth"; currently it is not, and whether it ever shall be is unknown and possibly not even considered important or relevant by the Martian authorities of the planet known as M5.

It is an asset issued on the Digitalis Open Transactions Server.

To that end, I thought it might be a good idea to post the proposed contract insofar as I have it so far for feedback rather than import it to the server willy-nilly while it possibly needs more work. It is intended to be a DeVCoin based operation among the aims of which will be to uphold and if possible increase the value of DeVCoins and, of course, to increase its own worth as measured in DeVCoins in order to be able to offer hopefully higher and higher buyback prices, in DeVCoins, for its stock:

Code:



longname="DevCorp stock"
email="[email protected]"/>

email="[email protected]"
contractUrl="http://contracts.MI5ius.M5/DeVCorp.contract"
type="currency"/>

type="decimal" factor="1" decimal_power="0" fraction=""/>




  DeVCorp stock is backed by the assets, activities,
  bylaws, goodwill etcetera of the actual Corp, which is
  registered as a limited liability company by the
  administration of and under the laws of the Martians
  of the planet known as M5. Its offices on that planet
  are located in the city known as MI5ius.



  DeVCorp stock is primarily secured by the assets of
  the Corp and, where the Corp operates legally under
  local laws of various civilisations, of course by such
  provisions as local civilisations might have regarding
  ownership of property, defense of property and so on.
  Where what passes for or pretends to be local
  civilisation fails to provide such protections, DeVCorp
  take such measures itself as it deems prudent under the
  prevailing conditions and circumstances.



  In order to obtain DeVCorp stock you must utilise an
  Open Transactions server supporting the use of said
  asset.



  Redemption implies failure of the Corp, inasmuch as
  stock is not normally considered a redeemable asset
  but, rather, a tradeable asset. Redemption in the
  event of the failure of the Corp would presumably be
  administrated by the bankruptcy departments of the
  regions in which the Corp still has any assets at
  the time of the failure / bankruptcy.



  It is not yet contemplated that this will be
  dividend-paying stock, thus no rate of payment,
  calculation or release of dividends applies.



  The Issuer reserves the right to buy back all
  outstanding stock, thereby terminating the use of
  this instrument.

  Furthermore it is contemplated that buyback offers
  be one of the mechanisms by means of which the
  Corp attempts to uphold and increase the value of
  its stock.

  Thus instead of issuing dividends, the Corp is
  expected to increase the amount of value it
  offers per unit of stock to buy back units of its
  stock.

  The Corp should, ideally, have some internal
  notion of the liquidation value of its assets
  and thus in principle be capable of computing
  a per unit of stock liquidation value below
  which price its stock ought in theory to be a
  bargain and thus at which it should try to buy
  up as much of its stock as it can obtain at or
  near such a value-floor.

  Furthermore it should be customary for the Corp
  to use bots or periodic scripts to keep floor-
  value offers in effect on any servers where this
  contract is in effect, to some extent that does
  not threaten the survival and prospering of the
  Corp by expending assets on buying its own stock
  cheap that would better be invested in some
  other bargain or opportunity that might also
  be available to it.



  The Corp is not liable for any damages use of
  this contract with your software or on your
  computing equipment might cause, nor for any
  loss or inconvenience you might experience due
  to the performance of stock markets, trading
  platforms, brokers, or acts of man woman child
  god or natural force(s) or events. In any event
  liability is limited to the terms and conditions
  specified in this contract.



  Float - the total quantity of DeVCorp stock
  outstanding - is created by a Mint account,
  specially set by the Operator.

  Disbursements from the Mint account are to be made
  on receipt of duly signed and public authorization
  from MI5ius.  All disbursements from the Mint
  account are to be made to the single Currency
  Comptroller account identified by the authorization.

  From time to time, the Currency Comptroller may
  direct the Currency Manager to return DeVCorp stock
  to the Mint for the express purpose of reducing the
  float. Such directions should be ignored; stock,
  once issued, remains in existence until and unless
  the entire issue is disolved, which itself is also
  not contemplated.

  This issue of stock consists of 1,000,000 (One
  Million) individual integer units of stock, no
  more and no less. Any not in the possession of an
  entity other than the Corp are implicitly and
  explicitly in the possession of the Corp.



  The purchase and trading of DeVCorp stock normally
  are done on the basis of strong privacy. By
  purchasing or trading this stock you agree that
  your purchase, trading, use, ownership, possession
  and material interest in this stock are governed by
  the laws and customs of the city of MI5ius on the
  planet known as M5 and that such laws and customs
  overrule any local laws or customs any civilisation,
  purported civilisation, government, barbarian horde,
  gang of thieves, outlaws, bandits, lawyers,
  politicians, pirates, thugs, muggers, cutthroats,
  militia, military, police, babysitter, parent,
  nanny or other entity might pretend, claim, or
  promulgate.
