Woa weird, didn't even see this one. (Too many forums to watch now!
I didn't read thre whole thread but suffice to say .. I think before shares could be even discussed, a very clear delineation of what is 'in' and what is 'out', and all the numbers, need be done. ie: Certainly GBAX and iCP and other ventures are not included, this would just be an OP thing. But also, given the division between Fatih, ED, mjw, Craig etc .. they're all working together, but each has their own organizations and partial ownerships etc. OP is Craigs operation, which is tied to but not financially to EDs, etc. (Or something, none of my business
-- so people would need to know what the share represents.
Also, a definition of real share value would be interesting .. ie: there are ways to valuate an organization, and there is a well defined number of shares existant upon organization creation/etc, so there shoudl be a actual share value, not just a 'made up' one. (Or maybe you can just make one up and sell them, possibly over or under-valuating the shares in the process; seller and buyer beware? I dunno legald about such things.)
Anyway, all told, its an interesting thing.
But I must admit -- if shares even start to happen, I'd like to know where notaz, djwillis, myself, vimacs, etc etc stand .... as soon asw theres 'real value' on any of this, we are interested. We've been working on all these things 'gratis', but sort of promised that if it ever goes anywhere we'd get a bit of the pie; obviously its a long ways off before it could 'go anywhere', so its not somethig that gets discussed much ... but if _shares_ start being flung about, then it suddenly comes to the forefront pretty quickly imho
Anyway, all things to mull over!
Investment is good, helps keep things churning, and Pandora is a very worthy project.
