I just can't see how asking 200,000 VTC ($200k USD) for 20% of the company and then dumping those 200k coins for BTC would be benefical for Vertcoin.
Hi Ymer.
Is really that the case?
I've been reading and didn't read about the dumping for BTC.
Could you share that info?
Thanks,
mega
fluffypony said that in his IPO thead in the marketplace forum, he then later edited the OP to change that. here's the original quote:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6548987The IPO is going to raise a total of 200 000 VTC. To do this, VertPay will authorise 1 million shares (1 000 000), and issue a block of 200 000 of them at a nominal value of 1 VTC each. On Monday, May 12th, 2014, a Vertcoin deposit address will be made available on
the VertPay.com website, and investors will be able to send a round number of Vertcoin to that address.
Vertcoin received will immediately be converted to Bitcoin in order to be stored in a multi-signature wallet in order to prevent the misuse of invested funds by any person within the company. In the event of an oversubscription of issued shares, VertPay's management team will decide whether to issue new shares to meet the oversubscription, or whether to refund those that have invested too late.
And in some point he backpedalled and edited it to this after the backslash and being called a scam:
The IPO is going to raise a total of 200 000 VTC. To do this, VertPay will authorise 1 million shares (1 000 000), and issue a block of 200 000 shares at a nominal value of 1 VTC per share. On Monday, May 12th, 2014, a Vertcoin deposit address will be made available on
the VertPay.com website, and investors will be able to send a round number of Vertcoin to that address.
A portion of the Vertcoin received will be converted to Bitcoin in order to be stored in a multi-signature wallet and thus prevent the misuse of invested funds by any person within the company. In the event of an oversubscription of issued shares, VertPay's management team will decide whether to issue new shares to meet the oversubscription, or whether to refund those that have invested too late.
