Topic: Kongzi Print Shop pays a dividend (Read 7199 times)

From nxtforum.org. I have a lot of positive feedback now. The fund has been taken private, standing bids have been left on coinsortium and nxt ae for all remaining shares. Locking the thread. PM me with any questions.

Thank you for your business.

Not sure what you are talking about, this has nothing to do with Coinsortium, and KPS is a private company (we bought out the listing on Coinsortium and NXT AE at a bonus to shareholders).

This thread should probably be locked but there's still about 200 shares left on Coinsortium to buy, I'll close it later this week when we send the final payment.

Another great Coinsortium company!

KPS is pleased to announce our eleventh weekly dividend payment!

This week's payment has once again been raised (for the 11th week in a row) and will be 0.196 BTC,
paid over 10,690 shares,
or 0.00001833 BTC per share for coinsortium investors.
Expected price assuming dividends represent 1%/month interest rate = 0.00001833*52/12/0.01 = 0.008 BTC/share.

Current price on coinsortium: 0.0012 BTC/share



Today's BTER rate is 0.000614,
therefore the NXT payment is 0.00001833 / 0.0000614 per share,
or 0.30 NXT per share for NXT AE investors.

Thank you for your support,

We're making payments now, enjoy your dividends.

No, you're wrong. We're very successful.

KPS is pleased to announce our eighth weekly payment on coinsortium.co!

0.194 BTC was paid out over 10,286 shares. We have now raised our dividends for eight weeks in a row.

Unfortunately Coinsortium has disabled withdrawls and has also disabled the ability for us to place bids on KPS. This prevents us from supporting the share price, as there are currently no bidders.

NOTICE TO ALL SHAREHOLDERS:
In precisely 6 days we will issue a special dividend of 20 KNS shares for every KPS share. Each KNS share will IPO at about 1/3rd of a KPS share. So as you can imagine it is materially important for you to be able to receive your KNS shares. Please contact me immediately for instructions on how to transfer your shares to the NXT AE or you will be unable to take part in this offer.

Thank you for your support,

KPS is pleased to announce our seventh weekly payment on coinsortium.co!

0.193 BTC was paid out over 10,040 shares. We have now raised our dividends for seven weeks in a row.

We are on the verge of making a bulk order of paper. Cost is the only factor, we need to sell another 3,000 or so shares. We have to make an order for index cards tomorrow and that we will be paying more than $3 per pack of 100. If we can sell those shares I can order almost 1,000,000 cards at once and that will lower our production cost significantly.

Thank you for your support,

KPS is pleased to announce our sixth weekly payment on coinsortium.co.

0.192 BTC was paid out over 9,616 shares (2% per week).

We have now moved to the mini-IPO model. We have issued 4,000 shares for public sale on Coinsortium and the NXT AE. We only need to sell these 4,000 shares in order to make a bulk order of paper, to be cut into booklets and index cards. This will enable us to lower our cost of production, make more money, and pay a higher dividend. Please support us by completing our mini-IPO!

Thank you for your time,


“In general we look for a new law by the following process. First we guess it. Then we compute the consequences of the guess to see what would be implied if this law that we guessed is right. Then we compare the result of the computation to nature, with experiment or experience, compare it directly with observation, to see if it works. If it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. In that simple statement is the key to science. It does not make any difference how beautiful your guess is. It does not make any difference how smart you are, who made the guess, or what his name is – if it disagrees with experiment it is wrong. That is all there is to it.”

Dear investors;

Our IPO is now closed. We did not raise enough to pay for bulk paper or office space. Fortunately, due to a lower BTC and steadily increasing profits, we will not need to lower the dividend. I do not forsee a need to lower the dividend at any time into the future.

To raise money in the future, we will move to the mini-IPO model.

In the mini-IPO model we issue a small number of shares for a specific purchase. Our first mini-IPO will be for bulk paper at around 4,000 shares and 0.0012 BTC/share. This will lower our cost per pack from $0.93 to at least $0.77 quoted. This is important as paper is currently our largest cost component of flashcard production.

We are also launching a new staple-bound book series ("Nissan Phonics", not related to Nissan Corporation) so we would like to make a side order with the same company for A4 and legal size paper. We can currently produce each (color) book for about $1.70, and we will be able to sell them for around $3 to $3.50. A lower cost for B5, A4 and legal size paper will help us make more money on the books we sell too, but our first priority will be to secure card paper for index cards.


Dividend Announcement
=======================
The total payment will be 0.192 on Monday, September 22nd. This will represent a payment of 2.2%.

On Monday, we will release the first round of mini-IPO financing; 4,000 shares at 0.0012 BTC/share.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I had already given him a full response. I wanted to thank him for his concerns and let him know I added his question to the FAQ.

This thread isn't for discussions or asking questions unrelated to the company. I really don't have time to hang out here and answer them. I have several months of design work to get through.

Thank you for your concerns. Your question will be included in the FAQ. Please remove your posts from the thread within 90 days to avoid cluttering the thread! TY

KPS is pleased to announce our fifth weekly payment on coinsortium.co.

0.189 BTC was paid out over 7,433 shares; payment per share was 0.00002542 BTC this week (2.5%)

Thank you for your time,

blog post: lamination film sourced

Mining companies are universally scams or failures. No one bothers grilling them cause they are just a way to lose money, and it's usually obvious from page 1. If their IPOs sell out, it's to newbies who haven't learned what bitcoin securities are all about yet. If serious people are asking serious questions about your company, take it as a compliment.

I'm also curious if the same level of grilling is given to bitcoin mining companies. A quick scan of the securities board shows that KPS is one of the few non-mining companies. Right now, the top 15 threads for active securities (besides KPS) are for mining companies.

The truth is, I'd hoped diversification would be more appreciated. I suppose you are right and instead makes us stick out and look like a scam. I'll have to review this. Maybe we could buy a few mining units (ant miners?) and offer some kind of hybrid company where we mine AND print educational materials? 

I understand, but I've already explained that whether we outsource or not isn'tt relevant. We can sell cards at a profit, so this is a rather odd point of contention. I also find it odd that you (at first) claim not to be calling Ardeva a scam, then close with an assumption that it is a scam (because, ardeva == therefore not investing). Not sure what to say about that. I invoke the panasonic rule. If Panasonic doesn't have to do it to sell mp3 players, then I don't have to do it to sell flashcards. Sorry, no shoes on heads sent to trusted forum members. 


If crypto-currencies die there will certainly be a period of time where we will be able to transfer over assets into the real world. Bank wire is a common procedure. In such a case each payment would be at least partially towards repurchase because I don't like that system. That being said, NXT is decentralized, and it is incredibly unlikely that NXT and bitcoin will be shut down at the exact same time.


No, I'm just not following one way of providing security. There are other, equally and even more valid ways.


After the gold crash of the 90s, a lot of investors turned sour on gold. It took more than ten years for gold to start getting popular again. The same thing happened to stocks in the 80s, computer companies after the dot-com, etc -- markets bounce back, but it's interesting, that the people who make the big money are never the ones who got scared out by the first crash. Unfortunately this community isn't as trustworthy as you make it out to be. That is actually the problem -- people trusted too many community members that turned out to be rotten apples. It's time you moved on and started dealing with things like we do it IRL. You can use your bitcoin, sure, but this community trust crap, jeez, didn't you ever get ripped off by a "friend" in grade school? This is grade school stuff my friend. If you don't trust me then don't. But if that stops you from doing research into what I am doing, and learning, and making an informed decision, then you've lost a very important battle.

No, because we put our e-mail on the cards by default.

By the way, you've just shown that anyone can run a business. Yes, you too can run a flashcard business if you are capable of drop-shopping custom flashcards. Having to prove we own a printer, etc. is probably not even relevant. In fact, if we are going to be sending out samples and taking orders don't you think we'd want to have a printer just to cut down on costs? :/


I don't think you see how sick that is and what it says about the community. I've registered on Ardeva. I've heard some people say it's "crappy" or whatever. I find it odd that I have gone through the trouble of registering and confirming my government id, passport, and letters from my boss and my bank only to be told that I need to give someone on this forum my ID as well. I hope you can appreciate how weird that sounds. Sorry, but Ardeva has policies and is seeking to make money, they are not going to be subject to the same problems a "community member" has. For me, Ardeva has benefits that a random forum member cannot provide.


Yes, we also operate over NXT.

As for the trust issues, if you don't trust us don't invest. Beyond a certain limit, trust issues become paranoia. I believe we have crossed the trust line and that's good enough for me. I am guessing you will find many brick and mortars are the same. We'd rather wait another day and serve another customer than taking a picture of a shoe on our head. If you can't figure out we are for real without seeing a picture of a shoe on our head, you probably don't know enough to analyze our business and decide if the investment is for you or not ;-)
