Great news, thanks!

Now can we get Steve Ballmer to do tricks like slam dunk a basketball off a trampoline while a kooky bird mascot flies overhead?

Honestly, I think this is like Stealth. It will be nice to have, but I wouldn't choose to grant it a high priority. Why? Because we should focus on projects that improve this ecosystem by bringing in more liquidity and market cap. We need to take some bigger steps, bigger risks, make a bigger splash. How many people will actually use these bonds who aren't already long term investors?

Sidechaining first
Bond Market second

Sounds good to me.

Thanks for the update.

I'd like to know what the advertising plans are. While I trust CCEDK, there are a number of different projects afoot and I will only invest if I am confident that this advertising business is going to be fully developed (as opposed to people splitting time with so many other things to do). What kind of assurance do we have about this ad business? Without giving away inside info, what kinds of partners or clients will it target?

i THINK even if the plan fails still on the rebuy they will buy it for profit for you. So if you buy now and slel a bit hiogher on buyout date [may 2nd?] you will take profit either way.

At least with Obits that worked.

Well, if your first instinct is to say "...even if the plan fails," then I don't see you having any faith in this product yet either. You're being short term speculative. Sure, I could play that game, too. But if I buy in for more than chump change, then I'd like to know if this is a good long term investment or not. I have not seen any explanation of what this advertising business will be and how much time and effort they will devote to building it. If it's just a token with some undefined future project attached that's way down on CCEDK's 'nice to have, but not essential' priority list, then I'm not interested in participating. If it's going to be a bona fide business with staff and website partnerships and so forth, then that gets more interesting.

I really like this idea. BTS is such a tangled knot at this point that I wouldn't mind starting with something simpler, continuing to believe in and work on both, and see which one is the better experiment.

One thing to consider: With dShares, screw the exchanges, but what becomes even more important here are the gateways and ramps. It does not seem to me like anyone in the BTS community has an automatic tribal opposition to this new fork idea, but hypotethically speaking, if some in the BTS community decide they won't touch the dShares fork, then there could be a problem getting gateways on board. Again, I doubt this will be an issue, but it might be best to check with the present gateways/ramps and make sure that they would be open to working with this platform as well. It certainly could be worth their while financially.
