We made a new campaign for a last minute marketing push. Everyone tweet! http://www.feedzebirds.com/3g9lk

I really like that you can retweet this and have the proceeds go straight into your GLBSE account where you can use it to buy FZB. You can bootstrap into bitcoin stock ownership without ever having your own wallet!

To add to Shiresilvers reply it seems so perfect that I can advertise Bitcoin using Feedzebirds at the same time as making Bitcoin doing that and then as he says having that go directly into buying more shares for Feedzebirds!!! I am so loving this! Cheesy

Now *THIS* is what a prospectus should look like. It almost sounds like you have a business plan that extends beyond the IPO period!

I just read it and WOW...

I'm sorry my mistake the volume is there.

There was over 1000btc traded today, so at 0.08667 that buys the remaining IPO shares I guess. For some reason I was getting mixed up with the 22,500 shares and thinking the volume should be 22500 rather than the btc amount.

Anyway congratulations on a successful IPO and best of luck with feedzebirds.

Thanks to a large purchase just now, we have officially sold all IPO shares!

This means we have raised the funds we need to put our development plan into action. As a matter of fact, it has already been started. Roger Ver of Memory Dealers has been kind enough to translate FeedZeBirds into Japanese for us, and the mobile site is more than half done. Time to get to work!

In a real stock market priority going to early bids is important, but on GLBSE people can simply outbid you by 1 satoshi and get priority. Bidding 1 satoshi higher on an order of 1000 shares stills costs you well under $0.01, so there's no real reason not to do it. The result is that the practical cost of sniping shares is zero.

I love that about pricing in Bitcoin. Granularity is important. If the purpose of the market is to find the right price, then how much more right is the price when it is accurate to a an extra 6 decimal places?

Saw this blog post today and thought it was interesting in relation to the discussion above on the minimum trade increments.

http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2012/05/should-stocks-trade-in-0001-increments.html

So GLBSE has effectively taken this issue to the other extreme, where I would argue that the one satoshi increment is so small that no value is being added to the market by such small incremental bids in order to snipe shares.

Suppose an IPO of 30000 shares is offered and an arbitrage bot can outbid the offer price by one satoshi in the millisecond before the shares are offered, then turns around and resells the shares. Is the extra 30000 satoshis the issuer receives actually a benefit to them? Or suppose that two arbitrage bots are outbidding each other by 1 satoshi as quickly as GLBSE can process the orders. One will win the shares, but is that winner "smarter" at discovering the "true price"? Would that price ever have been discovered if there wasn't a pointless race?

That was a great read. I'd never thought about high speed trading as an alternative to precise pricing, but it seems so obvious.

I believe that's true too. For bids that are at the same price, earlier ones get priority.

Technically wouldn't the IPO'd shares at 0.08667 be "same time or earlier" than my bid, and thus no matter my bid amount as long as it is at 0.08667 BTC or higher, the trade will occur at 0.08667 until all those at that price have sold out?

I would think that to be a flaw in how IPOs are handled. You want to have bidders willing to go higher, to know the true demand for the IPO'd shares. This way it makes it that the investor needs to personally attend the account during the IPO, rather than allowing orders to be entered well in advance and let the system market do what markets do.

I was interested, but the company is vastly overvalued, IMO. I think when I calculated it, the per-share IPO puts the valuation of the company at $43,000 or so. It's just not worth that much given the past earnings.

I'm in a similar boat. Also, twitter just isn't my bag.

That said I am sure they will be successful and maybe they will prove us wrong.

Value is, of course, subjective. Based on how other companies with similar business models are faring, I don't think we'll have any trouble justifying our price pretty quickly.
