I do not predict this being a problem. At least not on any 'scale' as creating a bunch of sock-puppet accounts 'just in case' seems like quite an undertaking when no solution has been posted yet. Then again, I also didn't predict the asset to be approved in 7 hours or with this interest so maybe I should just stop predicting things...  Sad

Here is what I'd do in your situation:

1) Reset all bids > 0.001 to 0.001
2) Set a cap on the number of shares each person can get
3) After the cap is in place, if it's still over 7mil then scale back orders based on % of orders placed.

Right now there are only about 11m orders placed > 0.001, which means if no new orders come in everyone gets 63% of what they asked for.  With a cap, it should be a pretty big portion of what everyone, except the huge orders, wanted.

+1, I support.

Just do the normal IPO, highest bids first.
Then the IPO fund will exceed to 7000 btc, return the extra as dividend.

The best way, more than 0.001 will not be allowed to buy, according to the order has purchased IPO shares. Because just want to 0.001 price IPO. Otherwise the other way to sell IPO shares.

This IPO is a clusterfuck.

I totally understand your frustration. Unfortunately all we can do is try to handle the situation as well as possible. I think that this IPO may lead to BTCT.CO developing a new system for how IPO's are voted on and released in the future, so hopefully something good will come out of this situation.

If, as you have said, you're not interested in this stock, then get the fuck out of here.  No reason to sit around and criticize.

Good idea, only accounts created before 7/30 can participate in IPO

Why would they want to exclude people who signed up just to buy this stock?

To prevent multiple account being created to skirt the cap. If there were a cap.
Why more people involved? If the stock IPO just to let more people involved. The world will not

No one is going to create 100, or 1000 accounts, it's too much work.

On the other hand, everything they do with the bids has to be done by writing code or at least SQL queries.  Adding more and more restrictions is and rules is going to make the whole process more and more complicated, and more prone to error and oversight.

How about this. Chronologically later than 0.001 will allow, in chronological order to obtain 0.001 IPO shares. Because the mind does not intend to profit in the auction, but the price to sell shares to 0.001,

I think TheSwede75 is trying to do his best, but the whole thing is turning into a kind of a show now.

First there was a statement that before the trading there will be up to 16-24h time to make a bid. It was changed.
Then higher bid wins is going to change to yet unknown formula.
Then You state that You don't want to take any more money per share than 0.001 but taking circumstances You will do so.

So i think IPO should be delayed and solution should be worked out in a calm and steady pace instead of this rush.


Giant +1

I woke up this morning to an IPO I wanted in with tons of orders and no chance to get in. I specifically asked if a warning would be given. Honest mistake I am sure but this situation is simply not fair.
