I don't know the much about stock/shares, etc and I don't have the ability to program such a complex piece of software - but I believe I can make it happen and think this is currently a good idea. Please critque my idea. I'm open minded about all of it.

Moar ?

How do we get started?

Find excellent programmers skilled in C++ (?) and cryptography, familiar with bitcoin.

Problem 4 : Permeating all the foregoing and sufficiently so to become a problem in its own right is the incredible arrogance of the recently liberated corporate slavebois working as independent coders. Seriously, start working on the BTC securities trade system of the future without ever having worked for MPEx, without having humbly presented your inept ideas to the most grandiose master Mircea Popescu (ie, me), without anything like that ? O, why, because you’re a special little trainflake of brilliance and genius who can ? Really ?

Anyway, go to github and check out the whole thing, it's quite entertaining. Time to move away from that platform now that the 15yos have figured out how to login ?
