Well.....yes, Nxt Asset Exchange is kind of biased towards using NXT as its default currency, but with a bit of imagination you should be able to figure out a method to pay out Nxt-based dividends in BTC or anything else you can think of.
Thinking out loud:
Multigateway has possibilities, maybe
Shapeshift or
Coinomatgive you a lot of possibilities for automating NXT<>whatever conversion.
The only real issue I can see with paying out dividends in BTC (or whatever) is that the asset issuer will need to have BTC/whatever addresses of the asset holders to make a dividend payout.
This could make buying into the asset slightly more complex, ie the asset buyer will have to send a BTC/whatever address to the issuer (via Nxt messaging
) in order to recieve dividend payouts.
For the rest: yeah, shouldn't be a problem if you can find someone to code up an automated payout process.
If you really want to do this......ask on the NXTforum:
https://nxtforum.org/asset-exchange-general/Having said all that, NXT liquidity is reasonable right now, with 24 hour trading round the $50,000 mark, so being paid out in NXT isn't all that bad...
Thanks for answering.
Yes, i think it would not be good having to ask for a bitcoin address. NXT would then have the advantage of allowing trades of shares but the disadvantage of having to handle new owners manually. It would make paying out divs a bit easier than having to handle direct shares only.
Hm... liquidity is high enough you say? Ill see how the issuer sees it. Though... its not bitcoin anymore. :/
When issueing a security on nxt marketplace, is it true that the issuer has to pay all dividends in nxt? That sounds like a problem since if an issuer made a couple thousands of profit in USD, then he would have to exchange it to a cryptocurrency in order to pay out divs. If he would be able to use bitcoin then he would have no trouble. He could turn the value into bitcoins pretty fast. Though with nxt i guess the orderbooks and trades arent so big that it wouldnt mean to either wait a long time until you exchanged or to lose some of your fiat when exchanging.
Cant you simply pay out divs in btc?
you can pay dividends as an asset token. For example mgwBTC which can be withdrawn for BTC automatically.
Are these tokens backed up for sure? The backup cant be proven, right? So lets say the issuer buys bitcoins at his exchange, then pays those coins to mgwbtc and gets token for it. Then the issuer can spread them as dividends and the shareholders then can get bitcoins for sure? Or is there a risk the token owner runs with the bitcoins? That would not make sense using them otherwise.
