Obvious trust issues aside.
Would there be market for fully automated out-of-game stock exchange system ? To make long story short all shares (as in game items) would be hold on one toon and never leave it (unless removed from market by admin) and people would simply trade virtual ownership over share and guy who owns the share currently gets the dividends, can sell the ownership to other people and so on. Users would have their virtual wallets (automated deposits via API and clerk withdrawals) that they can use for stock trading (simple buy/sell application similar to eve market).
Question is - would it be ever used ? Stock exchange is not big in eve so an external app may be overkill for the task (with small volume of traded shares we can bare the hassle of work it takes).

I believe Block already does this...
Dunno, there were some systems like that in eve quite-some-time-ago but none that I've heard off recently (or anyone using em).
Sneaky update: they seem to even get some traffic, wonder why more people don't use it ?

Yea and it makes me woner why people still distribute shares the "old way" ? Is it because of clumsy interface ? Too big commission ? Fear of a scam ?

There are no trading fees. You can open an account, test the interface, and evemail me any suggestions to make the inteface better.
I think there is reasonable interest in the Exchange. Read our finacial reports to learn about the Exchange's gross trades.

Fear of a scam ?
Yes, people always fear scams, but you need to be more specific of what type of scam you are affraid of.
You misunderstood me, i'm not accusing or pointing fingers but asking WHY it's not widely used by everyone (asking people why they don't use it) and throwing some common reasons in meanwhile (after 8 years as software developer/architect i can't tell an user-friendly interface from programmers one). Because for me it would be logical that everyone and their mother would want to use that system as it's better in every possible way (beside the chance of a scam).
