I agree with you. This won't be my first bussiness as a newcomer and I learned that the first steps always the hardest to make. Without those first steps I ain't get nowhere. I hope there will be some people who willing to take the risk whit a couple of coins just to try it out, so my reputation can build up slowly. Let see. Only time will tell.
I'd say a good first step would be to at least disclose something about what you're intending to use the btc for. At the very, very least you should present some very, very good reasons for keeping this a secret. I have trouble understanding all this need for secrecy that some of the GLBSE issuers have.
And of course, you should answer the mandatory question: Will any of the funds received be lent to pirate or invested in a pass-through (and if so, then how much)?
I tell you as it is right now. I have a portfolio on GLBSE which incudes 20 percent pirate related security from various issuers.
Most of the paper I invest has a higher return then 3% weekly so it is considered high risk. Some examples: FPGAMINING, OBSI:HRPT, BDT, TEEK:B, JTME, UDN ect... Also some of them do not disclose what they are into just paying the dividents regulary. I am doing it since few months and everythig is working out nicely so far. My investment is High Risk because I am dealing with high risk securities, the GLBSE could be hacked or I could hacked even if I try to make sure it wont happen to me.
I hope that will give you some ideas. But you must take that into account that my security will not be insured when you willing to put some money to it. Those who can accept it will invest, those who not wont. It is always your decision.
Edit: pirate is off the basket now.
