Hi Ufl,
I havn't really commented in the plethora of discussions and threads on your ideas yet. I am not a trader or investor in real life, and have only been actively trading in Eve Online for a month now.
I have learnt a lot I think, and really having fun with the system. I am making a moderate profit, and my first month of trading I have managed to pay my corp directors (who are shareholders) 100m in profits in the first month. Not great, but not shabby for a first time CEO in the game.
Anyway, my point is that I am not an expert, and I have a couple of questions about NuCon and your stock exchange ideas. I'd appreciate some thoughts on them in this public arena, rather than a private email. If I'm interested more, I will contact you in game for a chat.
My questions are:
1) Why do you want to use Veldspar as a "gold commodity". As I understand real life, we use gold because it transcends the different world currencies, and there's a proven method of being able to mine it. In Eve, we dont have different currencies, so I don't quite understand why you would want to avoid using ISK? Again, Im not a financial exper in real life, so my question is genuine and I'm probably missing the reasons for it.
2) You are asking me (corp) to underwrite my investment in your company. I don't think this is how its done in real life (again, I could be wrong), but I dont see how my corp and shareholders gain anything by giving you Veldspar for my shares. I just dont get this part. If I give you shares and Veldspar to underwrite those shares, isnt that defeating the point in the first place?
3) PDF - your PDF seems very light on the actual details - I would like to see a more "fleshed out" version and as a layman, examples would be good.
Thanks for your time - I do actually beleive you are trying to do something good and epic here - and there are others who share your visions for something BETTER than what CCP offers us in terms of investing and trade. EBank comes to mind (and no, Im not a member).
In Eve Online though, there are no regulatory bodies to answer for, and therefore, EVERY SINGLE investment always has a % chance of it being an outright pure scam - and some of the scams in Eve Online to date have been very slick and even more professional looking than yours.
No offence in my text above - just some genuine concerns from an Average (maybe) Eve Online trader.
Kind regards,
