The list of discontinued assets on MPEx

I. B.PPTAPR.SYNTH / B.PPTMAY.SYNTHⁱ (April-May 2012)

At the time the Pirate scam was in full swing, with meanwhile forgotten "big name" scammers like Kludge, Patrick Harnett or James Gibson aka gigavps pushing it like the second coming of Bitcoin Jesus.

At the time 9x% of the scam exchange's volume came from various "Pirate pass throughs".ⁱⁱ The saner elements in Bitcoin finance saw quite plainly the exact way all that's going to end, and wanted a venue to profit off of it. The fraudsters pushing it on the other hand weren't too interested in having their scam popped early, and so it was nigh-on impossible to sell the crap short.ⁱⁱⁱ

Two solutions were tried. The first consisted of MPEx creating a synthetic offering, which mirrored the forum "bankers'" contracts exactly. This was going to run monthly. The "banker" consortium broke their own contracts within a month^iv which created a panic in the only long backer of the asset, who firesold it and then the entire thing died for lack of finding anyone willing to buy (ie, go long) and so the entire thing was discontinued.

The second solution, which actually took, was Vandroiy's 10k BTC bet. You should probably read up on that.

0.0009 first, 0.001111 last, 0.000225 low, 0.001111 high, 13`871.87403450 volume 0.00096668 average.

II. F.PURE.SYNTH^v (April - August 2012)

This was the synthetic equivalent of the GLBSE asset of some scammer / shill that originally built himself up as some sort of miner expert but is mostly remembered for his "Meni Rosenfeld vanity thread", an exact equivalent of Amir Taaki's delightful wikipedia page. It died the death of irrelevance just like its original author.^vi

0.000295 first, 0.000105 last, 0.000105 low, 0.00036 high, 3`283.96565331 volume 0.00032115 average.

III. B.MPCD.A / B.MPCD.B / B.MPCD.C (August to Octomber 2012)

This was an attempted CDO offering. It failed, in the sense that of the n participants including MPOE, n-1 participants excluding MPOE went bankrupt during the few months the entire thing was supposed to last. The linked article has all the details.

IV. F.GIGA.ETF^vii (April - November 2012)

Global Scam Exchange / issuer painfully ran off with the fund.

0.00159 first, 0.00000001 last, 0.00000001 low, 0.00199999 high, 21`044.0429333 volume 0.00077528 average.

V. S.BVPS^viii (April 2012 - January 2013).

BitVPS was a Bitcoin hoster originally created by rg. rg left and the people trying to pick up the pieces didn't manage to work out the paperwork.

0.0022 first, 0.01499986 last, 0.0002 low, 0.01499986 high, 2`203.13392597 volume 0.00294258 average.

VI. X.ACCA / X.ACOG / X.ALCG / X.ASBG / X.AWHG / X.EHOG / X.ENGG / X.EWTI / X.IEDG / X.INDQ / X.INKG / X.ISP5 / X.MGCG / X.MHGG / X.MPTG / X.MSIG (December 2012 - January 2013)

These were an attempt to create Bitcoin futures for various commodities. It sunk (Misc, point 2).

VII. S.DICE (August 2012 - July 2013).

The original dice site. It IPOed at about 0.0035^ix. It was sold recently for about 120k BTC, or 0.0012 per share. The MPEx holders nevertheless received 0.0035 per share, a significant premium, taking their ~13% stake all the way to over half of the gross proceeds.

Summary :

I. B.PPTAPR.* : +23% over 2`500 BTC float.
II. F.PURE.SYNTH : -35% over ~500 BTC float.
III. B.MPCD.* : -53% over 1`100 BTC float.
IV. F.GIGA.ETF : -100% over ~1`000 BTC float.
V. S.BVPS : ~0% over ~3000 BTC float.<sup>x</sup>
VI. X.* : 0% over < 100 BTC float.
VII. S.DICE : 0% over ~50`000 BTC float.

TOTAL : -2.03% over ~58`200 BTC capital.

In other words : on average the MPEx investor buying discontinued assets exclusively made a net loss of about two percent over the course of a little more than a year and a half. That is all.

1. Original contract for the May asset (April one was identical save the dates):

   Website : n/a
   Owner : Mircea Popescu
   Monthly statements available from underlying issuer (Burt Wagner)

   Listed on : May 22, 2012
   IPO Details :
   This asset is a synthetic instrument constructed as an equivalent to the PPT family on GLBSE. Each block of 1`000 shares in this asset is equivalent to 1 (one) BTC worth of shares of PPT on GLBSE.

   -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
   Hash: SHA1

   
   The holders of this asset on the date of June the 22nd at 23:59:59 UTC time will receive a single dividend payment of 0.00128000 BTC per share, provided that in the interval there did not occur a credit event as defined below. At that date, or at the date of the credit event (whichever comes sooner) the due dividend if any will be paid, this asset will discontinue trading on MPEx and all existing shares will be discarded as worthless.

   A credit event is defined, for the puproses of this contract, as any one of the following :

   1. Any of the promised PPT issuances in the interval fails to take place within 24 hours of its stated date. The original language of the original issuer reads :
      

      What are you selling?
      Each week we will auction off up to 2500 zero coupon bonds with a face value of 1.28 BTC that will mature exactly 27 days 22 hours after the close of the bond auction.

      When will the bond auctions take place?
      The bond auctions will take place every Saturday morning at 2 AM UTC. That is every Friday evening at 7 PM PDT, 8 PM MDT, 9 PM CDT and 10 PM EDT.

      Thus, in the interval May 22 00:00:01 UTC and June 22 23:59:59 UTC there must appear four such offerings, specifically no later than the 26th of May, 4th of June, 11th of June and 18th of June. Since the issuer reserves the right to issue fewer than the stated 2`500, any issuance of less than 10% of that maximum, or 250 shares of 1 BTC principal each or at any rate shares of total value less than 250 BTC will be considered a full credit event.

   2. Any of the PPT issued in agreement with the original terms by the original issuer fails to pay the promised dividend within 12 hours of the stated time. The original laungage of the original issuer reads :

      When will the bonds mature and pay me my money?
      The bonds will pay the face value of 1.28 BTC exactly 27 days and 22 hours after the close of the bond auction on Saturday mornings at 12 AM UTC. That is every Friday evening at 5 PM PDT, 6 PM MDT, 7 PM CDT and 8 PM EDT.

      thus payments must be made no later than by the following midnight, UTC time.

   3. There is convincing proof brought in any public venue by respected members of the community that the underlying issuer for the PPT issue (that is pirateat40's opperation, whatever it may be called by that time) has either ceased to make due payments on his debt or has negotiated lower payments than the originally promised 7% a week. The original language of that issuer reads in pertinent part,

      7-Day Interest Rate on Deposits (based on average balance)
      100 BTC + 4.2%
      500 BTC + 5.6%
      2000 BTC + 7.0%

   4. The total ammount issued in the four PPT issues due until the expiration of this instrument is less than 10`000 BTC worth, however those shares may be split up. In this case the dividend paid on this instrument will be a fraction of its face value equal to the proportion of PPT issues out of 10`000 BTC worth. So as an example if the first PPT issues 2`000 BTC worth of shares, and the three subsequent ones each issue 1`000 BTC worth of shares the holders of this instrument will receive 0.00050000 BTC per share held. Note that this point only discusses the volume of issued shares, and is not concerned with the proportion actually sold.

   It is the owner's considered oppinion that there is significant risk involved in buying this asset (specifically, the underlying of the underlying is in all likeliness a Ponzi scheme in the final phase of its operation). Consequently this issue is not adequate for the needs of the small or unsophisticated investor. You would be well advised to only invest sums that you do not immediately depend upon.

   This issue is available for shorting, inquire with the owner for borrowing shares.

   This is a synthetic asset constructed as an equivalent to the PUREMINING symbol on GLBSE. Each block of 1`000 shares in this asset is equivalent to one share of PUREMINING on GLBSE (1Mh/s). The holders of this asset are entitled to the same dividend payments at the same intervals as PUREMINING makes.

   This is an insured asset : in the event PUREMINING liquidates, ceases opperation, GLBSE fails etc the holders will receive shares in other mining perpetuities to the concurrence of the hashing power they hold (so 100`000 shares will receive 100 Mh/s worth of other miner's bonds).

   This is a synthetic asset : the volume of shares issued is not related to the owner's holdings in the underlying.

   This is a not-recallable asset : the owner does not have the right to forcibly recall shares.

   (g) In the event of the sale of BitVPS or voluntary liquidation thereof, all proceeds will be distributed fairly to all shareholders by proportion to the shares they hold.

In particular compliance with any laws, rules or regulations in effect in any jurisdiction where a third party may find itself is entirely the responsibility of that third party --neither MPEX nor BitVPS make any guarantees or representation as to the legal status of this Agreement in any third party's jurisdiction.

   3.2. Should BitVPS fail to execute this Agreement, as for instance by but not limited to breaching 2.2.e above, MPEX will notify the named individuals of their breach and may, at its sole discretion, suspend BitVPS from trading thus activating the liquidation of BitVPS.
