[p2p-research] Fwd: Meta-Markets updates

[Samuel Rose]

I did a test run by registerig and doign an IPO with a few of my popular
del.icio.us bookmarks. It was interesting, but the site is apparently just
an excercise/experiment at this point. It is at this point a trading of
shares in an alternative currency.

It could become more interesting if they start connecting with other
alternative currencies, like maybe Second Life linden dollars, or other alt
currencies that actually have value.

Right now I have a balance of *114.80*β  (* ***β = Burikans)


:)


But, they have apparently pulled my IPO's from the site (or maybe they were
automatically de-listed due to inactivity after a while?)


Probably would be worth talking to Burak to see where he hopes all of this
will end up eventually.
