Once GLBSE 2.1 is released I'll be able to forcibly redeem the bonds. Holders may choose to wait until then if they wish to avoid the sales commission.

Stay tuned for an announcement regarding maturity of this bond. I should have further information within the next 24 hours. I suggest you do not trade the asset until the announcement has been made.

A trading halt feature for asset creators on GLBSE would be nice...

Dividend for March had been paid. Note: It is paid is two lots (0.0002 BTC and 0.0018 BTC) because I wanted to make sure I had my calculation correct.

Just an update. The step-up date of the bond has now passed and the bonds will not yet be redeemed. Interest will now be paid as dividends in arrears at the end of each month at 2% of the value of the bond. That is, 0.002 BTC per bond.

Good to hear, for my sake and that of TyGrr shareholders.


Well, not if you got the bitcoins for under $3.

Yes, the first four months interest is capitalised in the repayment amount. If the bond steps up, you pay interest monthly to me, and I'll pass it on as dividends to sub-bond holders.

See clause 2.4 of our contract:


Your outstanding balance will be reduced by the amount you have paid to the security address from one of the cards, so the interest would be less than 7 BTC at the moment.

If goat pays back the bond in full by March 1, I will buy back the bonds at 0.1 BTC as soon as the funds clear to my GLBSE account. If the bond is not repaid in full by then, interest at 2% per month will be liable at the end of each month, and I will pay these out as dividends as they are received.

On what date will the bond issuer buy back the bonds at .104?
Wht date will they become .106?

brendio (and bidders who aren't buying the bond at the current value price):
On the off chance that you haven't seen this (since there are outstanding buy orders that users have probably forgotten, many lower than the initial lended amount):
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bond-rongross-has-been-repaid-do-not-buy-it-anymore-cancel-your-buy-orders-47299

Only a couple of days left before the price goes up to reflect to decreased time to maturity. Repayments are on track. Still over 3000 available.

It already is: see OP.

The ticker symbol is BIB.goat.

The contract reads better if you choose to view source. In Chrome, at least, some of the formatting is lost in the "normal" view.

would buy on GLBSE, plz alert when listed

The bond contract with Goat requires that the hashing output of one of the 6990 cards is directed towards a "security address" as partial repayment of the bond. The output of the other card can go towards the electricity bill. One of the reasons for this proof of security is to show that the card is still in Goat's possession and operating properly. I have made a spreadsheet to check the expected output and compare it with the balance of the security address.

When I get around to sorting out the contract and putting together a website.

The Bitcoin Investment Bank (BIB; soon to be listed on GLBSE) offers you the opportunity to invest in a bitcoin bond secured by two GPU cards paying 1 % interest per month. The bond with either be repaid in four months time, or the interest payable will increase to 2 % per month.

For more details, read the asset contract here or see these threads here and here for background information.

There are 3440 bond issued at a par of 0.1 BTC. The listing price will be 0.096 BTC for the remainder of November (giving you an extra couple of weeks interest!). The asking price will increase to 0.097 BTC on December 1 and in regular increments weekly after that.

The first four months interest is factored into the buy price. If the bond steps up, interest will be paid as dividends monthly in arrears.

If you have further questions, fire away here or by PM.

The Bitcoin Investment Bank will soon be listing on GLBSE. It will offer GLBSE brokering services, lending, options, futures, and venture capital.
