Topic: [GLBSE] How does this work? (Read 2476 times)
righteous!
see that's where i was confused. it's not fixed, right? you can pay as much as you want when every you want through dividends? if that's true, then i can post the financial data on the website and issue the dividends based on the data.
Correct.

i guess what i'm asking is how basic market principals work. say i have distributed 200 shares. my website generates $100 in one cycle (100 is a nice round number) i want to share $33 dollars to my share holders (33%) so, 200 / 33 = about 6 dollars. how do i increase the value of the shares by 6$ a piece? or am i going about this the wrong way. should i provide dividends instead? if so, how do i adjust the dividend to match the profit sharing percentage (33% of $150, or $200 depending on how much i make in a cycle)
Firstly, your math is wrong. $33 split amongst 200 shares is $0.165 per share.
Secondly, you don't determine what the value of your shares is, the market does. Once someone has already purchased shares from you, your options are dividends or offering to buy them back at a higher price.
Third, paying dividends at GLBSE is as easy as entering in the amount to be distributed to shareholders and clicking the "Pay" button from your asset control panel.

can you clarify something for me please? i've yet to submit an ipo to glbse, so i dont' completely understand how the infrastructure works. if i want to create a profit sharing program with my share holders, i would obviously have to have some kind of financial data to provide to my investors. i know how i would create the financial data, but how do i setup a system to provide a portion of my profits to the investors. do i simply fund the glbse account with bitcoins and the price of the stock will go up? i figured i would simply submit an ipo and figure it out from there, but if you could help me understand it before i do that, it would put me at ease. thx in advance
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.
Are you asking about paying dividends to holders of your security?

first volume is in number of shares, not btc
second volume is ok, value of traded shares
As I said it's just a problem with the label. It's not pretty or anything, but you can still get the data about number of shares traded, even if they're labeled as "BTC". And I'm pretty sure it is solvable in the bitcoincharts platform if properly configured.second volume is ok, value of traded shares
and the volume of traded stock is shown with .00 two decimal places as if fractions of shares would be tradeable
IMO fractions of a share should be tradeable on GLBSE.From a technical standpoint, shares are whole positive numbers, decimals and fractions are not supported.
Nefario.

volume is measured in BTC as opposed to # of shares traded.
BTC seems a pretty good measure of volume in any case.in this context it is a bug in the charts and not a good measure.

BTC seems a pretty good measure of volume in any case. I'd rather not have the recuring costs and dependence on bitcoincharts (it's fine for normal bitcoin exchanges, GLBSE however is a little more complicated than a bitcoin exchange).
Can you explain some of the deficiencies?I would like to see a company's dividend % in the quote. I'd imagine this would be one of the positives if the GLBSE took over charting/quotes.
Also the charts don't display the total number of shares issued, which is a handy piece of information. Maybe even a chart of total issued.

And as has been mentioned, we'll be moving away from it to our own charting solution.
Is that wise? Bitcoincharts works and is familiar to the Bitcoin community. Why spend time on creating a charting platform?The only problem I see is with the label, in "summary" the volume says "6 BTC" instead of "6 shares", but the number 6 is the number of shares.

Wasn't this very forum going to rewrite simplemachines from scratch? Bitcoin people love to build. And as has been mentioned, we'll be moving away from it to our own charting solution.

You're welcome.

It's sorted by 7-day average volume.
Straight from the horse's mouth. You're welcome.
As I'd said, charts.glbse.com isn't our site, it's a service we've rented from bitcoincharts to provide easy to understand charts for GLBSE.
