Maybe I should have phrased this differently, this is less about the public opinion than it's about the obligations from the old contract. If the old contract isn't continued they must be switched to a new contract (which requires bond owners permissions) or terminated. The old contract provides exactly one way to terminate bonds which is to buy them back. People who don't want to switch thereby must have the possibility to terminate their bonds through a buy-back. Refusing this possibility is scamming/theft.
The text below is an approximation of the actual contract hosted on GLBSE since it couldn't be found in Google's cache. I've bolded the part that talks about a buyback.
The holder of this contract will receive as coupons a number of bitcoins equivalent to 100% PPS output of 5Mh/s for as long as they hold the contract. THE ISSUER has the right to buy back any contract at any time at a price equivalent to 105% of the highest price the bond was traded on GLBSE over the previous 15 days (360 hours).
The contract specifically states that if I want to enact a buyback, I can, at the highest traded price on GLBSE over the last 15 days. The highest traded price on GLBSE over the last 15 days was 0. The highest traded price on MPEx over the last 15 days was around .03 BTC.
Even if we came to an agreement on price, I'd still need your information to make the payment and comply with federal regulations.
