Put the three options to a vote, or poll the top 10 shareholders for their ideas and then put those ideas (plus the last two listed above) to a vote. You've got a lot of people who have put money into this, and you owe it to them to give them options.
In my opinion, this is an internal matter and should be handled as such.

Definitely some good ideas.
TBH, the biggest thing you have going for you is your swift reply here. You're showing that you're willing to communicate and consider options.
Though your reactions are less than dazzling, I suppose it's understandable. I'm most concerned with the fact that you treated our money as though it was worth less to you than yours. Every precaution should have been taken, and you used the #1 most dangerous way to transport billions of isk in goods.
It was just plain stupid.

I am shocked by the sort of dedication you have to this IPO.
Bravo is all I can say. I hope the rest of your investors see that this sort of dedication is a good thing. Ignore the one who are calling you names for it, imo. They're jealous they can't do this sort of thing themselves.
I'm impressed, and I'll be hanging on for the long haul.

Well it's a good thing for everyone involved that you're not the one running the IPO, then.

Sort of saying what Kylar said, but I know folks who have spent hundreds of dollars IRL to fund in-game activities. None of them in this game, but several in other games.
To take it from a different perspective, look at it in terms of the time spent. For a person who makes $20 per hour after taxes, this would be 30 hours of work. Not even a full work week. It would probably take more than one week of time in-game to make back the 10b isk, and salvaging the reputation lost would take a far longer time.

With these steps implemented, I see no reason why the IPO would not be successful.
Philosophical arguments about the morality of selling GTCs for ISK aside, this is a sound move. I believe if anyone wishes to start a new topic about selling GTCs for ISK, they should do so.
Aside from this...has anyone stopped to think that Bakimi could have bought the GTCs in the first place, to fund the whole thing? He wouldn't have needed to come here for the isk, and the fact that he has done so means, to me, that this IPO is something else.
What I mean is that the whole exercise is a practice in building reputation. I for one would truly like to encourage that. Despite taking a hit, he can now build his reputation with Ricdic's backing and his own money behind it. The market needs dedicated individuals in order to grow and become something bigger than it is. It seems to me that Bakimi's pretty dedicated.

A little late is better than nothing.
Consider that folks here have gone through a string of scams recently. If you pay out (even a little late) you'll come through smelling like roses.

I must admit, after a rocky start I'm relatively pleased with this project.
