TyGrr Tech Mining GLBSE issue. GLBSE Ticker: TyGrr

Taken from Goat post on bitcointalk.org

Ticker: TyGrr

Producing Virtual Scarcity at 10 Ghash/S +  

Total shares 1,500    Company value  $15,000

IPO: 450 shares.  The shares will be sold for $10 USD per share. This is to keep the total company valued at $15,000 USD

The CEO (Goat) will keep the remaining shares as he has faith in TyGrr Techs future:)


What makes TyGrr tech different from other mining companies? The CEO (Goat) will offer to pay $US dollar cash for any share at anytime from anyone. The price Goat will pay will be 90% of the value of the assets of the Company. Therefor if bitcoin price falls in terms of US dollars the stock price of TyGrr will go up. 

We are able to offer this protection in case of bitcoin fail because our mining rigs where made for quick resale as mid to high end gaming machines. We will be able to recover a premium for the machines as they are. 

TyGrr will also be paying weekly dividend on the coins mined. 

The only costs/fee that will be taken is a 5% fee on weekly profit to the CEO (Goat) for running the operation. Profit will be the value of all coins mined minus electric costs. 

TyGrr Tech is currently mining! Our first Dividend paying week will start this Sunday at 16:00 Thai time. First dividends will be paid on the 29th of November at 16:00 Thai time. 


I will be willing to send physical stock certificates to large long term investors. These certificates will only be valid if traded back to TyGrr Tech. I will also sell stock over the counter and move it to your GLBSE account if you would like to set a price and an amount before hand. 


Who is Goat?  Goat is Jared of the USA who currently operates in Thailand. He has studied both Computer Engineering (USA) and International Business Administration (Thailand). He is currently employed by the Thai Government and lives here with his wife and son. 

Photos can be found here. http://s1081.photobucket.com/albums/j343/TyGrrTech/  This will be updated and many photos will be added ASAP!

How to create an account and purchase shares on GLBSE by 'molecular' from CoinConnect.org

by molecular from CoinConnect


I think the Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange is one of the cooler things having evolved around bitcoin.
Since many people seem to have trouble using the web client (there is also a node.js and a python client, but these are probably even more problematic to use for people having trouble with the web frontend), here's a little guide to help you buy shares.
Let's say you want to buy shares of a mining company. There's a nice "green" one using FPGA managed by fizzisist. So this example uses "FPGA.contract" as the name of the issue you want to buy.

1.) Sign Up and Create an Account
Note: The GLBSE doesn't work like a normal website incorporating traditional accounts. It uses asymetric cryphography to authorize actions by users. There is no concept of a user per se, instead there is the concept of an account, so you can easily have multiple accounts which will use different keys.
Asymmetric crypthography involves storing a private key that allows signing of actions. The web client stores this key in the Browers local storage, encrypting it with a password you can choose. This password is identical across all of your accounts within that web-browser. If you want to use an account with a different browser (maybe when on vacation), that password is useless, you will need to take the keys (see point 4.)
So, here are the steps to create your first account:
  • open browser to https://glbse.com/client/glbse/index.html, enter a password to encrypt locally stored data (you choose this password and you should remember it), click "Go"
  • You should now be in "Account Managment", click "Register New Account"
  • You should now be in "Create New Account", click button "Generate new KeyPair" and enter an account name (any name will do) in "Enter a name for this account", click "Register"
  • You should be back in "Account Managment" and see the newly created account. Click the "Use" button next to the account name you entered before.
2.) Deposit funds
  • On the "Account Page" (It says "Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange" as title and there's a menu on the left), you can see your bitcoin balance on the top left below the title. Lets deposit some bitcoins by choosing "Deposit Funds" from the menu.
  • You're now on sub-page "Deposit Funds", click button "Get Deposit Address". You will see a bitcoin address in the text field below the button you just clicked.
  • Send some bitcoins to that address and wait for (I think) 7 confirmations. Click the "refresh"-icon to the right of your balance to see if the funds have arrived. (I sometimes get an error "verification failed due to incorrect signature", also when using other menu items. Dont worry too early, it seems to reliably work on second try)
  • You should now see your funds in the balance (top left)
3.) Buy shares
  • Choose "buy" from the menu.
  • Enter "FGPA.contract" into field "Enter the asset id"
  • Enter "5" (for example) into field "Enter the quantity you want to buy"
  • Enter "1" into field "Enter the price you are willing to pay"
  • Click button "Buy"
  • To verify you have bought the shares, you can choose "Portfolio" from the menu. You should also see the transaction in "Bitcoin History" and "Assets History".
  • To see the status of the Asset, choose "Asset" from the menu, enter "FPGA.contract" into field "Enter the Asset id" and click button "Get Details"
4.) Backup the keys
The keys for an account are stored as local data somehow in your browser. Maybe not a safe enough place... to make a backup, do the following:
  • go back to the "Account Managment" page by clicking button "Accounts List"
  • click button "Export Accounts"
  • click mouse in the big text area that appears and hit Ctrl-A or otherwise select all the text
  • paste that text into a new text file and store safely somewhere
5.) Where to go from here
  • click around the interface and see what you can do
  • for historic charts, go to bitcoincharts
  • if you have question or ideas or want to discuss issues, there is the GLBSE Forum
I hope this helps some people. Feedback appreciated. Donations, too: 1LBzU9PRSAbpj7MNCUnf2vBNdM7PpJbWPt

A look at our first item - FPGA Mining Contract Company Traded on the Global Bitcoin Stock Exchange: Ticker FPGA.contract


The first item we are going to look at it a BitCoin mining item.  Before we go any further he is an article on BitCoin Mining  from www.weusecoins.com.  The FPGA Mining Contract Company makes its BitCoins by mining for BitCoins using FPGA's (Field-Programmable Gate Array).  Which seem a very interesting way to mine for BitCoins and potentially offer even better results than Radeon graphics cards.

Taken from their website - http://contract.fpgamining.com/?page_id=52 

We operate a small mining cluster built entirely out of custom FPGA boards (available for sale oncablesaurus.com). 100% of all revenue is distributed to shareholders as weekly dividends. Operating costs (electricity, maintenance, etc.) are covered by the dividends paid to the 500 shares held by the company (amounts to 8.3% of the 6000 total shares). No revenue is held for future expansion.
This simple arrangement means that it’s extremely easy to calculate your potential income. Keep an eye on thestats page to see the average hashrate (expected to be 1.75 GH/s with the planned 7 boards). Based on that and the current difficulty, you can calculate the expected weekly income.

The shares were issued in October 2011 and the company started mining in November 2011.  The company spokesperson recently said they may start offering shares in the parent company.

The current 30 day traded volume of shares is 1459 at a value of 467.15 BTC.  With the shares currently asking 0.3589BTC  Now with the BTC value now looking steady at $5.76/£3.859 a BTC up from the recent low it seem's BitCoin mining is becoming (more) profitable again.

With it being a mining contract issue on GLBSE you can expect a regular dividend.

Brief introduction to the blog and BitCoin.

Welcome to the GLBSE BitCoin Stock Market watch blog.  The GLBSE BitCoin Stock Market is very new and BitCoin is still in it's infancy.  BitCoin is a virtual online crypto-currency exchangeable for commen currencys (US Dollar, Euro's and British Pounds ect.), also for gold and silver.

Wikipedia article on BitCoin.

Places you can buy BitCoins are the likes of Mt.Gox and Intersango amongst many other ways some completely anonymous.  Your BitCoins are stored in a virtual wallet on your PC or memory stick.  Here's how to create a secure BitCoin wallet on a USB stick.  Or you could open a (anonymous) BitCoin bank account with flexcoin

On the GLBSE BitCoin Stock Market you can invest in stocks, shares and bonds with BitCoins.  You can also invest in some commodity based funds such as silver.  Hopefully I will be able to help you navigate the risks and possible pitfalls surrounding such a new investment vehicle.  One of the best features of the GLBSE BitCoin Stock Exchange is its anonymous and offshore nature.
