The pre-launch thread is located here. The Stage 1 thread is located here. The prospectus is located over there, and in these posts for those who don't like the PDF format.
BIG BOLD LETTERS
Stage 2 Par Value: 1,000,000 isk Stage 1 Reserved: 4,000/25,000
The current size of Stage 2 is determined by three factors:- The cost of current bulk-delivery contracts, carried out over a month
- Forward-looking estimates of the future values for #1
- 10b for market speculation and investment
The factor that's (probably) going to get the most attention is the market speculation. Here's the theory. Due to the glories of the Margin Trading skill, not just our isk need, but our isk USE spikes when our orders are filled and we're about to produce the modules, and then rapidly declines. Similarly, our isk usage spikes higher, and then is brought down by a freighter/industrial run to grab up all the meltable loot we've bought. There's around 10b isk that will be in use continuously to feed our compression and decompression core business. Another 5b will be needed at peak times.
Rather than let 5b sit idle, I can work with the market to generate return on the isk. Doing so, however, can mean holding stock for periods longer than the frequency of isk-usage spikes. 10b set aside for market manipulation covers that. Additionally, that gives us room to grow--looking six months or a year down the road, I can scale back market activities to keep (de)compression activities running at full speed.
Enough about the budget, through. Let's talk brass tacks. The first TINY. shares sold out in less than six hours. I feel that wasn't fair to other investors who might have wanted in on these shares at IPO prices. For that reason, no reservations will be accepted prior to 00:00 EVE Time. You may note that 4,000 shares are already reserved. I reserved those early for myself, because I'm special*.
At this time, I am buying back TINY. shares in any quantity at 949,999.99 isk apiece.

Month 1 was used to get characters bought, skills trained, BPO's whipped into shape, and to get some copies run off of them. As it is, several BPO's will still be in research for another two or three days. There are no profits or dividends from Month 1; I'm sure if I did a full accounting of assets, I'd find that we took a (small) net loss for the month due to fees.

What precautions are there to stop the shares selling out apart from waiting until 00.00 eve time?
I'd just like to know if I've got to stay-up until 12pm to buy shares or not.

Hello there!
I would like to reserver 250 shares in my name please. I can garauntee purchase of those. If you will allow, could I tentatively reserve another 50 for a 300 total? Chances are high (>80%) I can make the full 300 in time.
If this isn't possible, still put me down for the 250. :)

I would like to reserve a further 50 shares, if I may on top of the existing 300. Just had a rather nice cash injection. :)
(Total shares requested: 350. Currently reserved: 300)
Then that will likely do me for this offering, if I wish to be able to continue production on my own in addition! ;)

Will it be sent to Motivated Prophet?
Do you plan to keep having a buy back option a few % below IPO price or is it just a thing you did now?

Proton Power stated that he thought your second IPO was suspicious and if you did another IP he would be "seriously worried".
Would here care to comment?
Personally, I have serious doubts about your integrity as it is. This does not bode well for my apprehension. Seriously, why are you people throwing your money at this. It has all the markings of a ponzai scheme.

This does worry me, and I will not and have not invested into this one. I trust MP enough to not sell my current shares, but would like to see current ventures grow before more isk is asked for. But MP does as he wants, its his thing and people will invest no matter what I think nor what you think. -----------------------------------------------

What the hell? He stated he was concerned if I started up another corp after these two, because he didn't think I could run more than these two. Go back and read my original prospectus; this Stage 2 funding was planned and public at the time he made that statement.
Also, it's Ponzi, not ponzai. Named after Charles Ponzi. There's an excellent Wikipedia article.
If you'd like to question my guy in charge of buying for the company whether or not we're a legitimate business, I can arrange a meeting. If you'd like to ask one of the major investors with Junior Accountant access to ZERO.'s wallet to perform an audit, that's fine. If you feel the need to do a complete search going back three months on all my transactions that aren't directly logged in the journal (such as the data interface one), I can give you names and timestamps from my chat and contract logs.
But if you'd like to complain simply because I'm starting up a second enterprise? If you feel the need to accuse me of being a Ponzi scheme when a half-dozen people can PROVE that ZERO. is making money, and at least two of the investors in TINY. have seen the BPO's in research? If you continually claim that Proton Power is my alt, and then use his statements to attack me? If you want to do any or all of that, I have a request: go away.
Summary: Investigation, audit, and suspicion? Trust but verify? Great. Misinformed speculation, ad hominem, and misquoting? Unacceptable.

There's always risk. If I invent the money here and MP runs off with it all, or I put it in PvP ships and lose them which would be the other alternative, I don't really care much. I have enough to fund myself either way. Granted I'll have less if this is a scam. But I have no money in ZERO. so I guess I'm in just as much danger as anyone who jumped on that and is now having doubts. In the end, it's virtual money in a friggin' game, hehe.

I spoke with proton a while ago, he told me who your mains were and I believe him.
Suspicion - not entirely unfounded don't you think. It does have all the hallmarks of a ponzai scheme.
Making a profit and running a legit business is not proof your are not a scam. Its not black and white like that.
For all my suspicions about Proton, he at least handles my criticism well while has put my mind at ease. Your reply just worries me.

I'm sorry, but the bolded statement confuses me. According to Merriam-Webster's, a scam is: a fraudulent or deceptive act or operation
How can Zerodot which is, as you put it, a legit buisness, be a scam? The two terms are in direct contradiction.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong impression - and it may well be, I haven't had the opportunity to read that many of your posts - but it seems more that you have a grudge against MP than any factual concern with his buisness plan. You consistantly insist that it has "all the hallmarks of a scam" and insult his character, and yet you don't provide any indication of what these "hallmarks" might be. I would recommend you either drop or support your accusations.
Apologies if you did post any reasons and I missed them.

You accused me of being a Ponzi scheme. I am clearly, PROVEABLY, not. If you'd like to say that I will take the money and run tomorrow, then say that. Don't call me a Ponzi when elementary investigation would show that that assertion is incorrect.
Originally by: Shin Ra For all my suspicions about Proton, he at least handles my criticism well while has put my mind at ease. Your reply just worries me.
You are neither a customer, nor, AFAIK, an investor. You have chosen not to use the "questions, comments and concerns go here!" pre-launch of my IPO to voice your concerns, instead attacking the active thread. I gave in to you once before, and posted the BIG BOLD LETTERS in both my Stage 1 and Stage 2 IPO threads. My patience for your trolling is at an end. Post elsewhere.

And that about sum's up my thoughts on the matter too. Much to my detriment I did not know MP during the release of Zerodot, so I missed out there. But since then I've had nothing but good dealings with him and trust him implicitly. I've seen much of the work going on 'behind the scenes' to get this up and running, the research of the BPOs and general logistics.
Not only are the materials real and available, I know MP has the time, materials, and acuity to make a real go of this. If I was capable of personally investing any more at this time, I would.
I'm fully aware I'm a non-factor so far as EVE and trading goes, there is no reason to trust me any further than the next fellow. So like PP said above, people will chose to invest or not on their own, regardless of what we say. But I felt this had to be said nonetheless.

Originally by: TheDevilsJury I may be blind because I can't find this anywhere, but what is the expected dividend, when will it start and how often will it be paid?
This dividend will be paid monthly. I'll hit the button on or around the 15th, so that I have plenty of time to recover from the ZERO. inventory I have to do at the start of each month. As to expected dividends, those depend entirely on the number of orders I have and the success of my market manipulation. Furthermore, they may range wildly from month to month--if I sell something in June at twice the price I bought it in January, because of the way I do my accounting, that's a huge cash influx.
Now, all that said, keep in mind that I'm probably going to be the biggest single shareholder in this venture; if the dividends aren't up to snuff, I'll start calling for new management.

If you run a totalyl legit business as a front for a scam then its entirely possible. You cannot proove you are not going to be a scam, in the same way I cannot proove you are a scam. There are much more things to condier.
I would like to know:
If, after this IPO is complete, you sold all your own shares (if any) and all the corps assets and took all the money in the corp wallet, how much isk could you run away with?
You can call me a troll all you want, if you feel anything I'm saying breaks the forum rules please mail [email protected] . From my point of view, getting all up in arms about this doesn't look good. I have a whole array of alts that handle my isk, if I did invest in your corp, you wouldn't know about it. But, there mere fact I'm asking these questions is not because I have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon, its because I have an interest in the outcome. Read into that what you will. But please answer my first question.

Edited by: LancerSix on 17/02/2007 22:49:05 I'm sorry, but I feel need to comment on Shin Ra's trolling here.
For those of you that don't know, Shin Ra is the CEO of Burn Eden, basically what amounts to EVE's worst griefer corp, hell bent on the idea of pulling every crummy tactic to "win". And by "win", they mean cause as much grief to everyone they possibly can. Now, I hate to be the one pulling credibility here, but... If you play the game of the Markets like you play PVP, I don't trust you as far as I can throw you .
So please, if you are coming here trying to destroy the honor of a completely honest business man, look first at who you are.
I have nothing but trust for MP and his operation. I put a pretty large (at least by my standards) sum of money into Zerodot, and it has been paying nicely. I have also seen the behind-the-scenes goings on, and know they are nothing but legitimate. And for those of you who will say I'm one of MP's alts, I would me more than happy to verify that on TS.

Your recommendation of MP was quite nice and well stated. Thank you for your input.
As for Shin Ra being a troll who you shouldn't trust:
(1) He never asked for your trust, and in fact numerous times has said that you can't trust him because he doesn't care much about his reputation.
(2) He's a very reliable litmus test for IPOs. When a large IPO starts up, he and DS are usually the first two there demanding answers to certain questions. I've always found these grills very helpful in deciding whether to invest or not, and I haven't gotten burned yet, in no small part due to Shin Ra.
(3) He knows what he's talking about. It is as simple as that. He's been contributing on these forums for as long as I've been reading them, he's got insights that other people don't, and most people recognize him as an authority on questioning budding businessmen.
I like his contributions, I like the fact that BE hosts Down-time TS, I like the seriousness with which they approach the game, and I like Shin Ra being a hardass to budding IPOs. Sure, he's a smacktard on the CAOD forums from time to time, and BE isn't the funnest corp in EVE to fight against, but that bears absolutely no correlation to his input here. *snip* Sig not appropriate.

All valid points, although what prompted my response was more the fact that I viewed it as unprovoked mudslinging more than constructive market discussion.
With that said, MP's answer to that question is linked in his first post, where it says "Big Bold Letters". I will poke him in-game to see if any changes need to be made to that statement to reflect this new IPO.

Oh absolutely.
Well, as I see it... my market (minerals) has been somewhat limited lately. I've got stockpiles of resources and I'm waiting for the market to recover in some areas, rather than selling low. So while I may only have liquid ISK's of 5 million, I've got much more than that tied up in assets.
I don't want to sit and spin on my thumb, waiting for the market to pick up. I'd rather take advantage of this IPO before the shares are all sold off and I miss out on a potentially good thing. 5 shares, may not get me a lot... but something is better than nothing at all. And even it if ends up being a huge flop, I'm not going to be putting a gun to my head or spacing myself because of the loss.
I'll send the ISK the next chance I get.

Sorry if I was unclear.
Dividends *will* be paid. The only portion of isk that investors will not see is that which would go to unsold shares. That isk will stay in the corp wallet, raising the base value of all shares (both sold and unsold).
The other two options I can see are to have the corp purchase shares in itself, or to modify the dividend in such a way that unsold shares are not paid. If one of these other options--or some fourth option I had not considered--has the support of the community, I'd be happy to do that, instead.

As a minor shareholder, I am pleased with the current dividend distribution plan. Unsold shares are still corporate property and the dividends to be paid to those shares should be retained by the corporation to further incentivize those shares for purchase.

Not an accountant so I'm trying to wrap my head around this. I think that issuing a dividend in the way that you suggest penalizes current investors by allowing future investors to buy shares as a discount.
Here's the math as I see it with easy numbers: You IPO 2,000 shares at 1ISK ea. on a company with no current assets.
Half of them sell. --Company net worth: 1,000 ISK.' --I get 10 of them. Value of my investment: 10 ISK
Company does business and realizes 20% profits. --Value of company: 1,200 ISK --Value of my shares 12 ISK
You issue a dividend for 100% of those profits to both the current and unsold shares (so 0.10 ISK/share) --Dividend paid to investors: 100 ISK --Dividend reinvested: 100 ISK --Value of company: 1,100 ISK --Value of my investment 11ISK + 1ISK cash = 12ISK
So far so good.
News of your excellent business sense reaches Eve, remaining IPO shares are bought at 1ISK each. --Value of company: 2,100ISK --So shares are actually worth 1.05 each --Value of my investment: 10.5 ISK(!) + 1ISK cash --Newcomers are now buying 1.05 ISK shares for 1ISK.
I am not sure if my reasoning is right here and I welcome comments and corrections but it seems to me that issuing a percentage of the dividends back to the company on unsold shares is in effect subsidising future share purchases and my expense (unless I also buy up lots of future shares ).

Originally by: Sun Win <snip>
You are absolutely right. However, the benefit that you get that the person purchasing the shares at a later date does not get is the dividend. Company issues 10 shares at 10 million ISK a share. Say you buy 10% of the company (1 share). The company sells 50% of the shares on the market (5 shares total, including the one you purchased). The company then makes 10 million ISK. It issues a dividend for 10 million ISK. The company retains 5 million ISK (due to unsold shares), and you recieve 1 million ISK. Now your shares are worth an additional 500 thousand ISK (10% of 5 million ISK retained earnings) and you've also recieved 1 million ISK. The person buying new shares will be recieving shares worth 10.5 million ISK for the bargain price of 10 million ISK, but they will not have recieved the 1 million ISK dividend. This in no way affects your share value. You're still gaining ISK from an increase in corporate NAV. It just rewards people who participate later than you as they get the opportunity to purchase the assets at pre NAV increase prices. And the opportunity to purchase these shares is open to you as well. With all that said, however, it wouldn't be a bad idea to increase the share price by a corresponding number to compensate for the increased NAV of the company. Since it's a single point of sale for the IPO, it would be relatively easy for MP to increase the price of the shares to reflect the increase in corporate NAV due to retained earnings. It would also give a very clear picture of the increase in the value of the company due to dividend retention.

Here's where I get confused. See if this other person HADN'T bought those shares then my shares would have been worth 11 million (the company was only worth 50 million +5 million = 55 million/5 shares = 11million/share). Then when these other people bought their shares their 10 million investment jumped to 10.5 instantly while the value of mine fell from 11 million to 10.5 million. In this scenario, half of the reinvested profits, which were realized off of my investment went to investors who had not yet invested.
That doesn't seem right.

The shares that the company holds must be considered an asset at market value. If they're not considered an asset at that value, then the company 'magically' gains value when it sells the shares. It doesn't. It's converting an asset (unsold shares) into cash. However, there's no net change in corporate value.

Edited by: Sun Win on 11/03/2007 17:13:36 It seems to me that when the company issues a share it doesn't magically gain value. A share has no value until its been bought. It gains value due to an injection of ISK into the company when someone exchanges ISK for a share. Otherwise when TINY. created the 25,000 shares then suddenly the company magically gained 25bil in assets.
At any rate, I fear taking this thread further off topic which is the IPO itself. So I'll let the matter lie and wait for a comment from MP.
EDIT: actually if the dividend will be paid out using the formula on page 3 of the prospectus then all is well.
Also, I'd like to reserve an additional 50 shares. I'll try to transfer the ISK before the weekend is out.

I was glad to see dividends coming in today. However I'm slightly alarmed at them being only 0.5%. Should the investors be alarmed or is this just a small dividend because operations are still being setup properly?

Originally by: Auri Hella I was glad to see dividends coming in today. However I'm slightly alarmed at them being only 0.5%. Should the investors be alarmed or is this just a small dividend because operations are still being setup properly?
I screwed up. Absolute dividends should have been 350m; since the corp holds 50%+1 of the shares, the paid dividend should have been 700,010,000 isk. A second dividend has been issued. My apologies. 
Multiple issues held down dividends this month. I'll try to list some of them.
TINY. had just begun large-scale production of propellant injection vents. I need to take stock of what's building and what's on the market, but I estimate a direct loss of at least 300m from this change, with additional losses related to the devaluation of stockpiled rig components.
Capitalization has been slow to materialize. While there have been a few sniffs, no large-scale (3b+) commitments have been made as of yet. This has cramped my ability to aggressively move into markets.
There haven't been a whole lot of compression orders coming in. Again, if you know a group in need of very-large-scale mineral deliveries--lowends, highends, or a mix--let me know!
For approximately a week, TINY. was without a great deal of leadership while I dealt with some issues relating to my grandmother's sickness. I appreciate all of your comments on the thread about that, so I won't drag it back in here, other than to say, thank you for understanding.
By the very nature of market speculation, if I buy something now for 50m expecting it to be worth 100m in three months, the first and second months are going to have suboptimal RoI. I'm not sure there's a way around this one, to be honest; the first month in any business like this will be a little rocky as a result.

Edited by: Imperius Blackheart on 17/03/2007 00:31:10 Hey its cool MP :)
Things will take off, I don't think as an invester that it has been a reflection on the IPO or you which I believe to be solid and worth investing in, small dividends this month were somewhat expected but thanks for your candidness as for the reasons, and if I can help at all give me a shout, not that I will be much use :P
I would throw you some more ISK (expecting good returns of course :P )if I could afford it, but I am desperately saving up at the moment.
Being as open with your investers as you are is what I would hope for in an investment, your communication has been great thus far. And I thank you.

i don't know about others; but, honestly, after reading (and then investing) in this venture, i didn't expect to see any return on this for at least a couple of months. i may have skimmed over items which mentioned there would be a min %, or divs starting the first month; but, based upon what i HAD read, i just went under the impression that whenever you had that good deal come in, we'd see divs.
cheers for the, to me, much earlier than expected divs. |

Sorry if I've over looked it, but is there somewhere a record (or could you in fact tell me) of what kind of dividends you expect to hit once things start rolling? Also, sorry to be an utter noobus, but the shares are one million apiece right?

Originally by: Motivated Prophet
Originally by: TheDevilsJury I may be blind because I can't find this anywhere, but what is the expected dividend, when will it start and how often will it be paid?
This dividend will be paid monthly. I'll hit the button on or around the 15th, so that I have plenty of time to recover from the ZERO. inventory I have to do at the start of each month. As to expected dividends, those depend entirely on the number of orders I have and the success of my market manipulation. Furthermore, they may range wildly from month to month--if I sell something in June at twice the price I bought it in January, because of the way I do my accounting, that's a huge cash influx.
Now, all that said, keep in mind that I'm probably going to be the biggest single shareholder in this venture; if the dividends aren't up to snuff, I'll start calling for new management. 
MP
Just found this which kind of answers my question, I know it depends on a lot of things, but what would be a top (what you hope for and if conditions go your way is achievable) and bottom (what is possible if things do not pan out as intended) estimate for the average dividend you expect to pay out over the next year. This might not be written in good economospeak, but I'm pretty sure it makes sense :).

What is the current count on the shares in this investment?
Looking to invest into coperations like this, in order have future income at a later date. Besides I have no trouble making money it seems, the level 4 mission salvags from my coperation I suppose has a hand in that.
Looking to make a small investment, long-term investment in future dealings mostly likely going to happen.

It made perfect sense to me! 
I'm giving out exactly ZERO profit estimates. You can beat me with birch switches, you can hire mercs to attack me, you can insult my mom--I don't care, I refuse to estimate returns. I will commit to trying to keep them above 0%. If you want them higher, send me compressed mineral orders, sell me stuff below mins cost, and play into my sinister--I mean, inherently and irrepressibly benevolent--market manipulations.

Total profits for the last month were something on the order of 40m isk. I'm not going to insult my shareholders by paying that out. Anyway, it's needed to finance this month, the highlight of which is a SIX BILLION isk contract. The Veldspar won't know what's hit it!
Meantime, sorry for the dividend drought, but as I've said all along, this is a long-term investment, and things are sure looking up for next month!
