For those that want to transition to BTC-TC here's what we have so far. Some details may change.
Step 1:Read the BTC-TC ToS and Asset Issuers ToS. (linked in the footer of
https://btct.co/)
BTC-TC is different than GLBSE was in many ways,
especially with regard to FUNDS. BTC-TC has some strict limitations on how funds operate and many of the funds that operated on GLBSE will have to alter their strategies if they are to be allowed on BTC-TC.
Step 2:Setup a BTC-TC account and create your asset using the same ticker you used on GLBSE.
https://btct.co/createIt will charge you 5 BTC to create the asset.
After your asset has been created, browse to it in the market, double check everything, and unlock it for voting to begin.
Step 3:PM me asking for an asset creation refund. I will first confirm that your asset was on GLBSE before I will issue the refund.
Step 4:Sell your asset and transitional plans to the LTC-GLOBAL / BTC-TC moderators to get it approved.
This part we cannot really help with. We will not get involved in the voting process other than to make sure the system works.
If you fail the vote... you've already been refunded. And there are a couple of other exchanges out there to consider. We hope you succeed wherever you end up.
Step 5:Once your asset is approved for trading, send me the file GLBSE sent you. We have an import script that works roughly like this:
glbse_import [filename] [ticker]
eg:
glbse_import TESTONE-1.txt TESTONE
Importing TESTONE-1.txt using ticker TESTONE...

After running this script, every user will have an account with their shares in it with a login named after the security. From that point on you can issue dividends as normal. Users that want to keep the account long term can do so. Most users I think will want to create an account with a different username though, in which case they just create a new account and transfer the shares and coin into it. Share and coin transfers are FREE on BTC-TC.
If you have users that contact you with their BTC-TC username BEFORE we run the import, you can remove those users from the import file and do the transfer manually.
If you have users that contact you with their BTC-TC username AFTER we run the import, We will provide you with the output of the import text such that you could assist them with a transfer. (eg: log in for them, initiate the transfer.)
If any users claim they did not receive the email, but they were in the GLBSE file, the copy of the import text will also allow you to email them back and assist as needed.
Step 6: (NO LONGER NECESSARY IF YOU HAVE THE FINAL CSV FROM GLBSE)
If there were shares unaccounted for in the GLBSE file, as many assets will have, you will need to create a holding account for those shares. This will allow you to issue dividends and operate normally while additional GLBSE claims still come in.
For example, if you had 1000 shares outstanding, and 50 of them are unclaimed, you put 50 shares into the holding account. The holding account will collect dividends. Then in the future when you get a new file from Nefario with new claims in it, you ask the user to create a BTC-TC account. Once they communicate their BTC-TC username, you transition shares and coin proportionally from the holding account to the users new BTC-TC account.Please let us know if you see any glaring flaws in this plan. It should make things fairly painless for the GLBSE issuers that want to continue operations.
