My understanding here is that NRS are investment shares in NIG, but dividends are only paid out to the sender's of shares held in one of NIG's investment funds. Is this accurate?
If this is the case, then sending NRS to the general fund address essentially creates virtual, non transferable NIG general fund shares, which are dividend paying, and are the real shares in the company. If you then use the NRS that have been sent to the general fund to develop the company by selling them to raise money, or by paying workers with them, the recipients will donate their NRS in exchange for dividend paying shares and the cycle will repeat, with share dilution approaching the total NRS supply at each cycle.
No, you have it wrong. sending NRS to the general fund is an investment in liquid, transferable shares. While the system is till awkward in it's infancy, they are really transferable. There have already been two transfers, as we gain momentum and support, this will be streamlined. The NRS in the general fund is rarely ever touched.
the recipients will donate their NRS in exchange for dividend paying shares
our structures are very different from invictus/pts/ags
it is
not a donation it is an investment that guarantees a share in returns. Not by social consensus but by investment contract. Employees are paid either in crypto currency or using shares, this is still up for debate by investors since there are only 4 employees for now, including myself.
NRS is not the driving factor of the NIG, it is one of the factors, one of the preferred investment vehicles. we are operating on a different platform...perhaps you can take a minute to read the above linked documents? I'm sure they'll answer some of your questions.
Investors are free to invest using 4 chosen crypto-currencies, as our business ventures will span Ethereum and Counterparty, those will be added later.
the cycle will repeat, with share dilution approaching the total NRS supply at each cycle.
Shares are not diluted, each is set at a rate and once a venture is funded, there will be no more shares, thus protecting all those who invested from late comers. The GF can be used in tandem with select funds and as a result the dividends are paid to both, but the above holds, once the venture is fully funded and operational, there are no more shares available. this prevents dilution. It is not a cake, from which slices are given out bit by bit. the cake is cut after everyone is sitting at the table. the only difference is that GF invetsors during the start period get weighted shares.
