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.

this project failed. the guy has nonsense gibberish on his main page.

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%)

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 ;-)

• We have added a a staple bindery and are constructing a manual perfect bindery capable of binding 4 books per hour.
• We expect to increase capacity organically to 50~60 books per hour within 3 months or if we can meet our funding goals.
• Our current funding goals are:
• ~2,000 shares for laminate MOQ.
• ~5,000 shares for construction of handmade perfect bindery and Japanese traditional bindery.
• ~5,000 for internet advertising programs.
• ~15,000 shares for bulk order of A4 paper and/or 3x5" index cards MOQ (160 gsm).
• ~10,000 shares for storage space, office space and incidental costs (1 year).
• When we meet this goal of ~50,000 shares we will close the IPO and no more shares will be sold.

An update will be made on Monday when we post our dividend payment to shareholders.

Yes. I have shipped print to members of the community. cobaltskky, the moderator of nxtforum, has one of our Chinese flashcard sets, the "dagongji" set.


A picture of the new 551 is available above. In addition, photos of some of our flashcard and textbook sets are available on our development blog, at http://kongzi.ca/wordpress.


My photo is available on my Ardeva profile. https://ardeva.com/profile/cd8fe32c-4bc0-4664-afe3-5af90c7dba6a


No, that's somehwat invasive and it doesn't do anything. The above (with Ardeva) should be sufficient.

The best way to know we are for real is to order one of our products. I will give you one of our sets at cost if you are interested in doing a review. You can pay after you receive it if you don't trust us 


That's a sad reality we all have to deal with, but if you explore all the information available about the company, especially on our nxtforum discussion thread, I hope you will come to understand more about the company.

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

0.188 BTC was paid out over 5052 shares; payment per share was 0.00003721 BTC.

Thank you for your time,

Looks good, now if only Cryptsy would release my NXT 

Our new printer has arrived and it's all set up and works perfectly. I can't wait to put her through her paces!

It was originally designed to prevent us from selling more than 1 million shares and diluting Coinsortium holders. Also, when calculating dividend payments, keeping the same number of shares we sold on NXT in a proxy account allows us to easily calculate how much we need to send to NXT.

But in practice we always have enough NXT lying around to avoid exchange fees, and the way it's set up now tends to confound what is actually going on with each listing. It doesn't affect your ownership of shares. I am actually thinking of just removing the clause and cancelling all the shares in the proxy account. The only difference it would make to you is that instead of looking at the shares sold on Coinsortium as the total float, you would have to add the shares sold on NXT to the shares sold on Coinsortium to get the total amount of shares. Other than that I can't see a difference.

At any rate we are going to close the IPO and start buying back shares before 100,000 shares are sold. It turns out we don't need that much money. Selling 80,000 or 90,000 shares will be more than enough to fund our operations for a year including making a bulk purchase. [edit: of toner, index cards, business cards/cardstock/a cutting machine, laminator pockets, etc.] Once we start buying back shares, I have a feeling our shareholders are going to be very happy.

The only issue you may encounter is that if Coinsortium closes and does not provide proof of ownership, you will not be able to claim any shares you held on Coinsortium. In that respect holding on NXT is probably the better deal.

Quick question about the way shares are held. On your site you say that you hold the debt for us on coinsortium if we buy in via NXT. What exactly does this mean?

Yes. In a Coinsortium IPO securities do not have access to IPO shares. Therefore we can only send payments to shares people have bought on the exchange.

If we held back money because it was only a few hundred shares, it would be a violation of our contract. That's probably not a good way to start our listing.

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

0.169 BTC was paid out over 146 shares; payment per share was 0.00115753 BTC.

“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.”

KPS Frequently Asked Questions

1. This is a self-moderated thread. What are the rules?
- This thread is for news and updates regarding Kongzi Print Shop.
- Please be patient; we do not have a support agent on bitcointalk. It may take up to 7 days to receive a response.
- To keep things tidy and clean, all off-topic posts will be deleted on, before or after a grace period of 90 days.
- Posts containing questions answered on our asset page, in our company presentation or in this FAQ will be removed without further explanation.
- PG rating. This is a family thread.

2. Company Information & Updates
We will publish updates via announcement on coinsortium.co. We will post our company presentation and articles about our company on kongzi.ca.
You should rely only on the information contained in our own news releases and our presentation. We have not authorized any other parties to provide you with different information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it.

3. Where do you list?
We list on coinsortium and on the NXT decentralized exchange.

4. How does your NXT listing work?
Asset ID: 10941619155761914846 -- always check the Asset ID when trading.
When a share is sold over NXT, we convert NXT into BTC and hold shares on your behalf on coinsortium.co. No share dilution will occur as a result of our listing on the NXT decentralized exchange. Note: The NXT team is currently working on single-transaction payments for asset issuers. Until then, payments which are less than transaction fees will be held until the end of the month.

5. Should I buy on Coinsortium or on NXT?
If you buy on Coinsortium you hold direct (first-class) shares. However, Coinsortium does not provide shareholder lists to the asset issuer and in the event of an exchange closure you will not be able to verify your ownership of shares in KPS. If you buy and hold your shares in your personal NXT account, you hold them in your hand, and there's no such thing as an "exchange closure". For this reason alone we must recommend you buy your shares on the NXT decentralized exchange until such time as Coinsortium is able to give us lists of asset holders on a regular basis.

6. You could be a scam! Let's play a game of what-if. We will start with, what if you just drop ship all your cards and you aren't really a print shop?
If we drop ship our cards, we are still a real business because we take money from customers and send them cards for a profit.

6b. What if all the pictures you took for your business were stolen from somewhere else?
If that were true, then you could easily find them with google goggles or a similar image search application. You can't. This is essentially proof the images are for real.

6c. (Since you don't appear in any of the pictures) What if the Ardeva image of you isn't real?
If the Ardeva image of me is not real, then I have managed to fake a passport, and several forms of photo government identification. But the rabbithole goes deeper, because I've also verified my address, my credit card, my employer and income... No, I don't think calling Ardeva into question is an option here.

6d. What if... What if...
This game of what-if never really ends. If you are that concerned, then first of all, thank you for being interested in investing in our company. I mean that. We are proud of you, and now you have some homework to do, and we can't do your homework for you. Please read our website, our blog, and our discussion thread on nxtforum. Read our dividend announcement threads, there's a few bits in there too. Read our announcements page on coinsortium.co. Then ask questions. I don't mean ask "Is ArDeVA a ScAM?", I mean ask someone who's ordered from us if we do ok business, or ask for a sample of our products. Anything but this cheese-shop what-if-you're-a-scam endless line of questioning. We both knew it would come to this eventually, thus this entry in the faq and no more. Feel free to test the thread's moderation policy (see question 1).
