To all Gigaminers:

According to Theymos' post, GLBSE is closing down. I have personally spoken with Nefario and he has stated that Gigamining coins and the list of asset holders would be available on Monday.

Once I receive the list and coins, I will work to make a script to keep coupon payments going. As for anything beyond this, it will be difficult to continue without Gigaminers being able to buy and sell when they choose.

As far as the future is concerned, we can consider everything on hold until I can further assess the situation.

Hi Gigaminning, how will you match assets holders with btc addresses???

At the end of the day, there are always ways to sell shares privately, though I'd be shocked if another exchange didn't quickly come into being within the coming weeks to fill the gap.

Doubtful that the SEC would get involved with a UK exchange...

They might not go after the exchange itself, and leave that to British authorities, but why wouldnt they go after Americans selling unregistered securities (to other Americans) ?

But they could have called their "buddies" in the corresponding TLA in the UK and had them look into it (FSA I believe).

As for the definition of selling, from that same document:

(3) The term ‘‘sale’’ or ‘‘sell’’ shall include every contract of
sale or disposition of a security or interest in a security, for
value. The term ‘‘offer to sell’’, ‘‘offer for sale’’, or ‘‘offer’’ shall
include every attempt or offer to dispose of, or solicitation of
an offer to buy, a security or interest in a security, for value.

Again, no mention of legal tender. It has to have value, and its hard to claim bitcoins have none.

IANAL, so this is the first thing you should ask him, but I dont see where it says the security has to be denominated in dollars, or even in a currency:

The term ‘‘security’’ means any note, stock, treasury
stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture,
evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation
in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate,
preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share,
investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of de-
posit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or
other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege
on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of secu-
rities (including any interest therein or based on the value
thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered
into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign cur-
rency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly
known as a ‘‘security’’, or any certificate of interest or partici-
pation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guar-
antee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any
of the foregoing

If there is any truth in the rumor that this is SEC related, and if even if there is not, you may want to lawyer up if you havent already. That goes for all issuers of assets on GLBSE, but particularly US residents and non anonymous ones like yourself. Selling of unregistered securities is a felony, and its hard to see how GLBSE bonds would not be considered unregistered securities, if even this is:

Hi Puppet,

If what you are saying were true, it would mean that the US Government would need to recognize Bitcoin as money.

Out of curiosity, what's the contingency plan if GLBSE gets taken
down by the government of whatever backwater they hail from ?

Hi znort987,

I am going to wait until we hear from Nefario on Saturday before deciding a course of action.

All dollar denominated. The link you gave does not address the issue of non-dollar denominated "securities".

Has anyone ever found an example where the SEC was involved in a case where the sale of the "security" was not in dollars? That would be interesting. Have they ever busted someone for selling securities in pesos for example?

I've just made a full screenshot of my Portfolio page.. just in case. Hopes that I won't need it Undecided

How did you do that. Or did you do it before the site was taken down?

Probably the page was already open?
