For this, I usually need data about dividends per share per time
Impossible for HZ 3.9, probably possible for Nxt 1.4.16 - but haven't looked into it yet.
Not impossible, but improbable, because it's manual work: Read the asset announcements and threads of the respective assets and ask the asset holders.
Me I am not interested in manual solutions, that's why I said "impossible", and of course I meant "impossible automatically".



asset holder experiences,
Actually here is an idea: Extract all the current holders, and send them a link to a survey via NHZ messages - possible!
Good, but manual work...
No.



supply and demand,
interesting. I could sum up the buy and sell order sides. But most assets on HZ are mainly in the issuer account still. So an overwhelming supply side.
I mean just the sales and buy orders, like some exchanges and charts sites display it for cryptocoins.
Yes. That is why I wrote:

... I could sum up the buy and sell order sides. ...


For your other questions ... time will tell.


And please, everybody:
Only buy stuff after you have done your research well.

If you have any doubts
that it is the right thing for you to do,
I advise you NOT to buy my asset.

* How much would you pay for (private) access to the current results table? With an option for 3 data updates later.
* How much would you pay for providing all static results (publicly) on your website?
You ask the wrong person, as I am quite poor myself and will probably do without the program and do some statistics myself.
Hmmm ... how can you help then?  

I am afraid I cannot help you directly with sales. I can only continue to make comments about what I think such a software should do and what I would improve.

I will stay being honest. I made a calculation estimating how many sales you would need to compete with other assets in terms of dividends and I don't think you can achieve it (I am speaking of rentability of the asset, I'm not saying your software will not sell). Of course I still don't know what price you would want to sell the software for, but I have this as a variable in my calculation, too, and think if the price would be too high, you won't sell much, so the second variable, the number of sales, will become too small.

So for me, the only reason to buy your asset was to support your development. But it is not a good (profitable) business from the view of an asset holder. If you want to change that, in my opinion the only way would be to increase the percentage of profit represented by your asset (let's say, from 5 % to 50 %, that would be realistic in my estimation. Calculated with a price of 20 EUR per software license. You would need around 300 customers in a 5 year span, which would also be the ROI for asset holders. Or do you have bigger expectations, and if so, what is your evidence? I thought you are good at calculations yourself.)

One day, I hope to get back to the old idea of attaching a reseller system.
You reselling this, and getting a fat bonus ... how does that sound?

It's a good idea. Though again, please do not count on me there, I have to look for jobs in other fields.I would only do it by chance (if some opportunity comes across my way). But you will surely find other resellers.

Or: I have no time for looking around in bitcointalk right now - if you find places where it would make sense to announce my products, that would help already, big time.
And of course, you get rewarded for deals that result from your activities.

The chances that I personally have this opportunity are low, its absolutely not my proficiency. I can again only pass this to the other readers of this thread.

Thanks for the following list!

No problem.

I mean just the sales and buy orders, like some exchanges and charts sites display it for cryptocoins.

distribution etc.
I extract a count how much of the asset is already sold. And as percentage of total quantity.

In the SuperNet wallet (NXT) you can already see it. Maybe it will be possible for HZ soon, too? But then, of course, your software would not hold a great advantage - apart from bundling all this information.

- things I often get for free sufficiently elsewhere
Then you won't need my software, nor the data.

As I said, I would like to test it first. Then maybe my personal price acceptance would be around 20 EUR. And IF I make huge profits later, I would consider donating to you, so don't forget to include a donation reminder.

But don't forget what I said above: In my personal calculation, the ASSET in its current conception is not a good option unless you change the profit distribution. And consequently, I will sell my shares soon unless you change something  (holding it doesn't help you neither, only an increase in asset market price does). I could just do it now - with a small profit - but want to hear what you say about it first.

Sorry for the hard words, have a nice day, anyway.

You ask the wrong person, as I am quite poor myself and will probably do without the program and do some statistics myself. I cannot invest millions of HZ and thousands of hours in trading, and therefore, even good statistics won't help me to get high profits. It's a matter of time and money. If I don't have the money, even good information is worthless. I don't care if the moon consists of pure gold as I cannot go there and get it, understand?

Luckily for you, I am very probably NOT an average user, so there might really be a better chance to sell it to others than to me!

Of course it would be interesting, but when I buy something, I am used to see the price first, not the other way round, being asked how much I would pay. And if I you ask in that order, I had to see exactly what I would get and preferably try it first! Only then I could estimate if this helps me so much in getting less poor that I would consider buying it even though I'm poor yet.

E.g. it might be interesting to see when an asset has started and who are the owners, but on the other hand, not so important for earning profits with this asset.

For this, I usually need data about dividends per share per time (planned and promised for the future and real for the past), reliability/security, asset holder experiences, price charts, volume, supply and demand, distribution etc. - things I often get for free sufficiently elsewhere, even though not so detailed.

That's interesting,
yes, isn't it? Yey! :-)

I thought you could see who bought your assets via the 'Trade History'
Might be - but that would all be manual. And manual stops being practical once there are many more.

Also, there is asset transfers (in contrast to trade, for transfers there is no HZ paid).
And right now in HZ there is only a way to extract the trades, not the transfers. Unless parsing all transactions of course.

you only see transaction numbers, isn't it possible to track that?
Yes, it is. That would definitely have been the other approach, following all the trades. But at transfers there would have been information loss then.

So, yes, the HZ developers have indeed something to catch up...
For sure. But HZ is still young ...

Hello,

should I say sorry for my insistence? I am not really sorry, though I regret that it distresses you.

I like that you let us know the news about your work, but the problem I saw here, is that often your progress announcements are just from your personal perspective, but not as an information from the software buyers' or asset buyers' perspective. I think it will help your sales, if you try to view it from our point of view.

There are so many confusing things and scams around here that I really want to test which assets have a chance for survival AND are not just good for the asset issuer. I asked some critical questions to another asset issuer, too: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11132725 .

> When can we use your software
I will not give an ETA, because then disappointment grows overboard when I miss it.
There are frequent updates here, in this thread - so you will be able to monitor the progress in detail.

> or when will dividends flow
I won't say, but just do it. Who owns shares will then get dividends.

OK, I did not expect a definitve date, but it's also good to know if you yourself have any plan or thoughts about it, and I think we would like as much of it as you can give. So, glad to hear you will keep us up to date - now relax...

(a) progress in the technology - until yesterday I would not even have known how to do it in HZ. First I had to build this workaround myself. Only now I know my shareholders, for the first time.

That's interesting, I thought you could see who bought your assets via the 'Trade History' but it really seems difficult or impossible with the HZ wallet (you only see transaction numbers, isn't it possible to track that?). I think, in NXT it's possible. So, yes, the HZ developers have indeed something to catch up...

(b) profits to share.

Sorry for repeating questions, but of course we would be interested how and if you plan to make this public. I think you once talked about information via e-mail? Don't answer me now, if you don't like it - but please keep in mind that this would be very interesting for your 'customers'.

(c) The update of HZ to newer Nxt code. Because I would really like to pay REAL dividends; not some stupid workaround, that will later never show up as dividends.

Yes, see above. My realization of HZ's lag of development in some cases, compared to NXT for example, increases. Well, they need time, too. I don't know how big their team is and if they work fulltime or as a hobby...

...and make it available, no one can buy your program if you don't sell it.

Alright, here is an earlybird approach - you could have this TODAY!

* How much would you pay for (private) access to the current results table? With an option for 3 data updates later.

* How much would you pay for providing all static results (publicly) on your website?


Since the update yesterday, the results table for HZ has grown to 43x118.
So: How much do you pay for 5000 3000 numbers?


But "as is". No more info right now. If you want to see a full demonstration, documentation, TV commercial, and sales brochure first, before you pay ...

... then wait.

Thanks.


EDIT: 43*117 --> but some assets haven't had trades --> 3423 nonempty cells

I won't say, but just do it. Who owns shares will then get dividends.
But I can say: A combination of some of these four things is influencing it:

(a) progress in the technology - until yesterday I would not even have known how to do it in HZ. First I had to build this workaround myself. Only now I know my shareholders, for the first time.

(b) profits to share. From AltFolio and assetparser.py and now altprices.py.

(c) The update of HZ to newer Nxt code. Because I would really like to pay REAL dividends; not some stupid workaround, that will later never show up as dividends.

(d) Good timing, and the greater scheme of things.


Stay tuned, it will happen.

And please give me ideas, how to monetize this program. Thx![/center]

The best and only 'real' ways is this:

Just convince the buyers that this program will help them make more money out of it than they have to pay for it.

...and make it available, no one can buy your program if you don't sell it.

News:

  • API-downloading all account ids from NHZ block explorer: 4420 accounts.
    --> Thanks a lot for this workaround, Ge Be Wolf.

  • API-Downloading 4420 accounts (async, MAXTHREADS=1000): 4420 threads finished.
    698 are holding assets

    --> cool solution to simply loop empty when too many concurrent threads would otherwise crash the apiserver
    --> as you can see in the above timestamps, this is very expensive - but seemingly the only way, with the old HZ api.

  • Loaded price data. Most recent: HZ=0.00000084BTC  BTC=223.68USD
    --> Now all the totals, marketcaps, issuer income, etc. are always translated into accurate momentary BTC & USD values for each trade!
    --> Finally reliable data, no "1USD=2778HZ" approximations anymore.
    --> 5 new columns "..._inBTC",
    --> 5 new columns "..._inUSD"

  • Analyzing 698 shareholders, with 1276 asset balances.
    --> So on average 1.8 different assets.
    --> New interesting column "shareholder count" per each asset (there is one asset with 313 shareholders!!)
    --> on a forest walk today, I had an amazing idea for a future version, but will keep it secret until then *g*)

  • small details:
    new column 'base currency' (here: HZ) will later allow to mix platforms!
    And I give the daysSinceFirstTrade and daysSinceLastTrade for each asset. Will be interesting to study that.


  • prices: the largest possible gain (buy low sell high), and waiting time, for each asset!


And very important: About my own asset AAssetHZ --> I now know all my 13 shareholders, and their addresses!
They are holding between 90 and 1,044,497 AAssetHZ, median 9,999, average 97,650 AAssetHZ.
- and they also hold 0 to 6 other assets, median 2 others. Will be interesting to see which ones.

YIEHAH!

I have a new "GiveBack-license v03" --> http://altsheets.ddns.net/give
= feel free to donate. And please give me ideas, how to monetize this program. Thx!

New Product offer, especially for asset issuers:

I'd be happy to do the above (and much more) statistics about your asset, too. (HZ and NXT assets!)

It won't be expensive - and you could also pay me by transferring some of your asset.

PM me your asset id.



P.S.: If you are not the issuer, but a main stakeholder, or interested to buy a certain asset ... this could be interesting for you, too.

Shown are the 40 trades that happened so far with my asset 8101260088962758269.

Method: For each single trade a neighbouring price near to that timestamp was found, and used. Done independently(!) for HZ/BTC, and BTC/USD !


Here is a summary of the above, grouped and summed by seller:

Code:
summary asset 8101260088962758269 (with exact CMC exchange rates at time of each sale):
seller  2464002471629938020: sold    2500 assets for a total of    7500HZ = 0.0073 BTC =    1.83 USD (at an average: 1USD=4088HZ)
seller 11142269723467360027: sold   10000 assets for a total of   45000HZ = 0.0523 BTC =   12.39 USD (at an average: 1USD=3631HZ)
seller 11605558384819875741: sold 1269451 assets for a total of 4347255HZ = 4.2943 BTC = 1077.62 USD (at an average: 1USD=4034HZ)
seller 11386302522953055950: sold       8 assets for a total of      24HZ = 0.0000 BTC =    0.01 USD (at an average: 1USD=3869HZ)
seller 14998330512778970260: sold   24815 assets for a total of   74445HZ = 0.1113 BTC =   28.18 USD (at an average: 1USD=2641HZ)

and summing up all sellers:
Code:
totals traded: 1306774 assets for 4474224HZ ~ 4.4652BTC ~ 1120.03USD (at averages: USD=3994HZ, BTC=250.84USD)

Of the total USD trades, 96% were my crowdfunding sales.



By the way, my asset 8101260088962758269 is called "AAssetHZ"
(background info, manual how to buy), and of the issued 5 million AAssetHZ only ...

... 2.7 million assets are left to buy - but only 230 thousand of them at 5 HZ.
The next batch will be more expensive -  again.

A future version of assetparser.py will be able to have proper fiat conversion for each trade.
Yiehah!
History:
Grin

Small update:  Just finished the implementation of
* a price getter for HZ, NXT and BTC, which cleverly combines all timespans; and
* an efficient access function which returns the price nearest to an asked timestamp.

... but I think in the long run, AltFolio will probably generate the main profits, and assetparser is just a little surplus on top of that.
What makes you think so?
Probably most of all because I have been working into AltFolio for a much much longer time. So myself, I am associating more with that.
assetparser just happened, as a small side-project. It grew fast, and quite powerful - but so far, I only played with it for a few days.

Moreover, AltFolio is the much much much more ready and developed product, and it has a clear profile, manuals, instructions, explain videos, graphical user interface, has been tested a lot, etc. It can be bought.

assetparser in contrast, is made as a quick'n'dirty solution to get fast results, before my own asset launch; it is a raw script code, data spewing machinery which at the moment can only be used by me - if I change parameters, I directly change the sourcecode, etc.. It might end up as part of a paid webservice, so that is no problem at all. Or I put a lot of additional work into it, to make a GUI for end users. Or I will never pass it on to anybody, but only sell the huge spreadsheet tables that it produces. All not clear yet - and not on the top of my head right now. Please stay tuned, then you will be the first who will know when it happens.

Shall I perhaps make a mailinglist, for informing about important news and milestones? Then you don't have to watch this space here every day, to see if something has happened already.


For example, I make my own Excel Spreadsheets and have already a lot of information about coin prizes etc.,
That is interesting.
See my other long answer in the AltFolio thread.


but getting information about assets seems to be more difficult.
Yes. And that is not because my assetparser is not ready.

That is probably mainly because the HZ block explorer is providing still so little information.
But we are promised more, and then, soon, you will probably be able to find out more, like every other HZ user, too, e.g.
So I would be more interested in the asset software (depending on what it really does).

Interesting. Then my 2 questions:

(a) How much would you consider a fair price range ("depending on what it does") for personal use?

(b) Which questions would you want solved = "depending on what it really does" = what would you WANT it to do?

Especially (b) could lead to an interesting interaction. Make a list, then I can tell you (1) if it is implemented already, or (2) if it is impossible to implement, or (3) if I will program it into a next version.
Of course, useful information is rewarded!

But maybe that is just me.
Sorry, questions again - take your time and answer or not - concentrate on programming or whatever. You are the manager, I'm just a curious customer.
Yes, and you are really interested in trying out this software, I can see that. And appreciate it.

Please forgive me that it is not ready to be sold yet.

And thanks for your questions. I like to explain this, really. But I should simply not overwork. Sorry for sometimes grumpy :-) It was just a bit too much yesterday - and I only realized that afterwards.

Have a good start into your week!

Hi, thank you for your answers!

Has your new understanding of a long-term time-line ...

... changed the situation for you now?  

long-term time-line is still not very specific, I am sure all asset shareholders are always interested in a plan as specific as possible (but of course it is not always possible to produce such a plan).

No, not "too early". The last second it was. I had already put hundreds of hours into AltFolio, and would have been in trouble.

Well, what is early is different from a developer's and a customer's view. From the asset-buyer's view it's not the last second.

If I had huge AltFolio profits already, I would not launch an asset at all, but live from those AltFolio profits !

Do you have any profits at all, already? Or a list of interested buyers?

By the way, I am realizing now that I will not continue to explain why what takes how long.
Stuff takes how long it takes, and I will do it in a speed that is best for this to happen.

And writing explanations like this takes away time from e.g. programming.

Yes, but that is why it is maybe too early - first develop your software, then sell your product. Not the other way round. But of course that is also why you launched an asset as a funding system. But you will have to deal with the interest and questions from asset buyers - at least from time to time (not every five minutes, of course). You avoid questions and redundancy if you answer them before, e.g. by making clear explanations (in your announcement) of what is developed and what is not and if there is a schedule etc.

... but I think in the long run, AltFolio will probably generate the main profits, and assetparser is just a little surplus on top of that.

What makes you think so? For example, I make my own Excel Spreadsheets and have already a lot of information about coin prizes etc., but getting information about assets seems to be more difficult.

In case I was overthinking, and misinterpreting your comment as impatience. Sorry!

Let me try again, please:

You talk a lot about the software, but it's not there. When do you think it will be available?

So far I have talked about about, but not released it yet, because I have not found out yet how to monetize it.

you should make a description/list of its functions and contents.
Yes, I should.

It will become clearer once I publish the study.

I am just an interested user.
and an appreciated one! Thanks for being interested.


And you talked a lot about your products almost as if they are already there,

I do not. Have not. And will not.

Parts are ready, parts are not.

"AltFolio" is useable, and I have a way how to sell it. By backend authentication. It will only get better, but in a way is "ready".

For "assetparser" I am still clueless how to make it into money. I only know how valuable it has been for myself already. There is no rush to throw it out in the wrong way.


you launched an asset,
Yes, because in this early phase I already need money, but the profits will only come later.


I am just an investor who wants to know how the development ist going.

Sure, and it is important that you ask.

From your questions, I guess you had expected this whole endeavour
[Altsheets = (AltFolio + Assetparser) profits, turn into AAssetHZ dividends]
to be on a-few-days-timeline.

And it is not.
And I also never said so.


And you were a bit unclear about that.
I am sorry if that was the case.


(you produced a lot of links to your own comments),
No, I do that to save time, and prevent redundancy (I could copy paste, alternatively).

but I prefer a clear and honest statement.
Yes, me too.

Anything but honesty ... is an obstacle in life.


Then I might wait patiently for your developments or I don't. That's my right as a user or asset holder.

Sure, no problem. That is why I am taking much time for this now, to make it totally clear.


Has your new understanding of a long-term time-line ...

... changed the situation for you now?  


and to sell 'AAssetHZ', to give funds to do so, and let me survive until then.
We really want you to survive, your risk is our risk (but only to a lesser part). Don't work more than what is healthy - but do not make too much promises and if you launch an asset too early

No, not "too early". The last second it was. I had already put hundreds of hours into AltFolio, and would have been in trouble.

I sell the asset "early" (your word, not mine)
because more AltFolio profits will only come later.

If I had huge AltFolio profits already, I would not launch an asset at all, but live from those AltFolio profits !

What you shareholders are giving to me is immediate money for me sharing later profits.


or have not thought it out enough before, it's your responsibility, not ours. And inform us in a clear and honest way. Make a clear distinction between what is just your work and what is available in the product already. That's all I would ask for (don't know what others say?).

Clear and honest. Always.

And the written report? How to sell an analysis text? Any ideas?
It depends on the value of the information, and - sadly to a lesser extent - on how much work you have put in. If users can make money (HZ, NXT) off it or if it is a good basic introduction for newbies
Nope. It is a market analysis for already-experienced traders who want to understand more, and deeper.
No newbie introduction into assets. Let us collect such info there.


Instead, the study is the documentation, and interpretation of the statistical output of assetparser.py



(and if there are enough newbies who would buy such information instead of researching it for themselves), or if there is valuable information for the professionals, they might pay at least something. But I wouldn't expect too much. Just make a price that doesn't hurt, as I don't think users would pay too much here. Or just try with a higher price and look what happens. An e-book is not very costly to hold and store. If nobody buys it, then reduce the price. How many readers do you expect? Certainly far less than readers of this thread - unless there is very good information.
It is. Very good information.

The solution for how to sell that will come. It is valuable enough.

I just have to find time for the next steps with it.

I had ZERO time for it in the past weeks, because of:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/altsheets-altfolio-altcoin-portfolio-auto-updating-spreadsheet-dataserver-978804 and
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annaassethzaassetnxt-altsheets-asset-on-hznxt-software-profits-dividends-981128 and

https://twitter.com/altsheets and
https://www.facebook.com/altsheets and
... much more stuff that was going on in PM communication, configuring advertisement, etc. pp.


By the way, I am realizing now that I will not continue to explain why what takes how long.

And writing explanations like this takes away time from e.g. programming.

Low price won't protect it either.

But maybe I am too pessimistic?
I don't know if you are pessimistic.

But I am definitely not, I am realistic :-)


By the way, it might be interesting to know what I EXPECT to happen, even though I CANNOT know ...

... but I think in the long run, AltFolio will probably generate the main profits, and assetparser is just a little surplus on top of that. A nice side-income opportunity that surprisedly happened on the way, and of which I thought it is nice to offer my shareholders to include in my total profits calculations.

I guess that the majority of AltSheets profits will later be AltFolio profits, and this is how it was designed right from the start:

AltSheets profits will be partly shared as dividends to AAssetHZ holders.

>  actually any version which can be used or at least tested so far
Yes, of course, 'assetparser.py' was already used, and successfully
- but only by myself, in my preparation phase of the asset launch.

VERY useful information, to understand better the situation I am placing myself in.
Some of the output you see in the image of that table. But that is only a teaser. There is much more.

> When do you think it will be available?
How much would you pay for it?

As long as there is not more information than in the teaser, I would probably not pay much or nothing at all. If you don't want to show it, you should make a description/list of its functions and contents.

As a single personal user - and not a rich one, just think of me as a person very much like yourself - I am not interested in buying your code. I don't own a company and won't found a company or anything. You expect a bit much from me, I am just an interested user.

And you talked a lot about your products almost as if they are already there, you launched an asset, I am just an investor who wants to know how the development ist going. And you were a bit unclear about that. Maybe it's called marketing (you produced a lot of links to your own comments), but I prefer a clear and honest statement.
