Offering
600 Million ISK Fixed Income Bond For Freighter Purchase -Public offering beginning 21.8.07 -Bond maturity and repurchase date 1.4.08 (6 month bond) -10% interest per month starting 1.10.07 (payable 1st each month) -Total return 160% (960 million ISK payback) -600 shares (each worth 1 million ISK)
Payments will be fixed: 60 million ISK (10% interest) payed on 1st of each month starting 1.10.07 600 million ISK Bonds repurchased on 1.4.08 Total payout 960 million ISK
Business Plan To purchase a Freighter for use in high sec ore delivery and fulfilling contracts. While continuing to mine/play in safe space (>0.5) pay back the loan with interest over 6 months. I will be funding 300 million of the freighter purchase.
Background So you have read the plan, and you have a bunch of questions. Who the hell are you? Are you a scammer? Why should I trust you? Why do you want money for mining? Really WTF?
Hopefully I can answer these questions and instil some confidence in my plan.
My name is Tinuvin which is my main character, and I have been playing since the beginning of this year. I am a miner / trader/T1 manufacturer in the game. I play about 12-15 hours a week mainly in the evening and I am based in EST USA. This will be my 2nd Bond Launch. Link below:
Hulk Bond
I am currently paying back my first bond launch for a HULK purchase.
Why not wait 3 months and purchase the freighter? I am greedy and want it now. The reason I set up bonds because I enjoy the aspect of running a business. I did look at running some higher level production but there are some good reasons not to try this yet.
1. I do not have the sufficient skills. 2. The capital requirements are very high and the chances of launching a multi billion ISK IPO are slim
Am I a scammer, who can vouch for me. Not many people. I will try to get a couple of people from my first Bond launch to confirm that I am making payments (I only have 6 bondholders). I decided to keep my offering of a low amount (600M ISK) and keeping the share value low no one stands to lose much cash if you think I am scamming. I am paying 10% interest on the bond to allow for the increased risk factor in that I have no credibility in EVE yet. If this is successful, and I continue to build a name for myself I may try further IPOÆs.
NPC Corp If anyone looks at my corp history, they will see I jumped around a few corps and mainly stayed in NPC corps. I stay in NPC corps because I fly in high sec, and wish to protect my assets from war decs. The couple of corps I joined or started I ended up losing ships when my own corp got decced and a more recent corp (KOBS) is in low-sec space and I don't take the chance.
How will I earn the cash By mining Scordite in high sec I make approximately 125,00ISK per minute and about 10 million ISK a night playing EVE. I earn about 250-300 million a month so I am easily able to make the repayment requirements.
Other Information I will be happy for a shareholder to audit my activities if a suitable method is advised. I am happy to answer any questions you have, or take suggestions on how to improve upon the bond offering, or running the scheme.
Purchase/Reservation Send an eve mail to Tinuvin with the desired number of shares to be purchased, and send the money. I will set a sharelist, and send out an update on the 1st of every month on both the forums and an eve mail.

Pyerite is falling. Mexallon is rising. Plagioclase is the new Scordite. Just thought you'd like to know.

Ricdic is right that it is a bad time to start a bond or an IPO or anything in here due to the influx from the Buy/Sell/Etc forums closing. I wouldn't be surprised to see an increase in scams posted here shortly.
That said, tinuvin, I will contact you in game, and I wish to invest 50m.
Offering short(er) term bonds for limited amounts of capital and risk is about the only way those of us who are new to this part of the game to establish a name and a history. I have no plans to make any public offering myself but if I were, this is how I would do it. So, I wish to support this, aware of the risk of scam.

OK, just saw the CCP announcement on the sell order channel, bad timing for the launch.
That aside hopefully I can still make the launch successful due to its small size.
Freighter I am looking at purchasing a Charon (got skills for that). Mr Minmitar: If I can't make enough moeny from the launch I would be willing to take a price reduction in return for the bonds. I will contact you ingame.
Ore Mining The good news about high sec mining is that I can be flexible with the ores, and I do keep abreast of the mineral costs. I also have an ore calculator to allow me to mine the most efficient ore at the time.

Considering the rate you're selling probably not needed, but:
How would you feel about using API key to let public, or some trustees, to confirm your claims/assumptions? Namely that 1) you're real char with skills corresponding to your background 2) your alts aren't known scammers 3) Your wallet history matches to your story (i.e. slow influx of ISK instead of large lump from your main char)?
There would be no risk of losing control of your chars; and via the trustee method, low risk of revealing any business secrets.

No I will not let anyone have access to my API key.
If anyone wishes they can come and see me fly my Hulk, which should attest to some of my skill level required.
If a person wishes to look at my wallet and details as part of an audit, then yes I would happily welcome that. The one condition is that they are trusted member of the community and they are acting for a potential client who is also known to the community. I am not opening up any of my business records to anyone who feels like looking, as I have business contracts with several corps that I wish to private.
