Topic: Should we enable the Crypti owners to trade their holdings right now? - page 2. (Read 3810 times)

Stick to the schedule and stop changing opinions all the time !  We had enough when you changed IPO rules !

Stick to the plan and release at the original schedule and meanwhile work on your product !

Yeah, might as well rush this, so they can do a pre-sale really quickly, seeing as the actual sale is right around the corner anyway. So let's change the rules of the ipo. It's crazy.

And as stated, it messes up the sell-back terms as stated in the ipo to begin with. I also wonder how many that are so eager for this early pre-sale simply want to dump so they can buy into the Ether IPO? It may be a coincidence, but the max coin offer for Ether ends in around 12 days, which may explain why people can't wait a measly 16 or so days for this to hit a marketplace normally.

Think there is consensus to start trading CRSALE. Please start asap otherwise it's useless because launch is near.

The presale should have been hosted on Nxt platform.

Genesis investors knew the rules when they invested. They were put to their election and bought shares, knowing full well that the IPO shares/coins would not be publicly tradable until 10 August 2014.

So how will the bonus % work if CRSALE is being traded? The bonus % will be attached to the bter account opposed to the CRSALE stake?

Also, a marketplace has to be flexible for changing conditions.  The 30 day investment period was ended after 5 days.  This left many out of the market.  

To buy BTC from Coinbase, there is a 4 day escrow wait from purchase to delivery.  Some investors were still in the 4 day escrow when the sale ended.

If they need funds so badly, can't they just sell their stakes back? I mean, wasn't that sort of the point of the entire cap limit/waiting list thing? Those on the waiting list may also feel a bit cheated, as instead of letting people sell back, you are opening up trading early.

And people will most likely vote yes, because many strangely have such short attention spans, and trade like they are sitting at a table at Vegas. But it doesn't mean it's really the right way to go with this. If a coin has rules before the IPO is run, it should use those same rules afterwards.

No.

Arguments in favour of allowing early trading are as follows:

(1) Impatient and/or low attention span investors (or investors who could not afford to invest in the ipo and need their money back) should be encouraged to get out.

(2) Ridding the IPO of impatient investors will enable more rapid stabilisation of the market price and will allow the many investors who missed out on the IPO to gain a foothold.

Nevertheless, I vote no. Genesis investors knew the rules when they invested. They were put to their election and bought shares, knowing full well that the IPO shares/coins would not be publicly tradable until 10 August 2014.

I do not care whether or not impatient investors enjoy moving goalposts.

Let them wait until 10 August (by which point the devs and bter will be even better prepared for the launch of a potentially major global currency. The 'instant feedback' twitter/facebook generation could do worse than learn some patience (instead of limiting their education to learning increasingly bizarre methods of taking selfies). Make the non-sentient creatures wait. Its good for them to be deprived of instant gratification.

So I vote no...but shall willingly defer to the majority if most here present prefer to rid themselves now of the impatient so as to give new investors (who missed out on the IPO) a chance to buy shares.

While I certainly understand your concerns, both us (the launch team) and Bter were contacted multiple times with the requests to allow early trading, as there apparently quite some sellers who willing to divest early, and quite some buyers who missed the pre-sale window and now looking to purchase a stake.

Giving trading experience earlier then planned (rather then forcing people escrow and swap their Bter accounts arround) seems the most reasonable solution, hence we are looking for the community opinion on this now.

Two measly weeks. NEM will be like 8-9 months of delay... Ether will be like 6 months or so. For them, I could understand it. But people can't wait two weeks here? Again, more trouble than its worth in my opinion.
