To initiate a transfer, do I just PM friedcat with prof of key ownership? The reason I ask is because the shares were bought privately through a irl friend so I did nothing other than providing a key for dividends. Thank you

Hmmm... This sounds like a peculiar way to buy shares. Did you buy these shares before you even had an account at bitcointalk.org? I was under the impression that friedcat maintained a shareholder database that included the bitcointalk.org usernames for all of the directly owned shares as well as their e-mail address.

I think that your impression is wrong, the only thing that's in the database afaik:

- e-mail
- bitcoin address
- amount of shares

I've had shares transferred to me with just a PM from the previous owner to friedcat. What's the purpose of collecting e-mail addresses of the new owner if shares can be transferred with a PM? Seems to me that friedcat is willing to accept a PM or an e-mail from a shareholder in order to complete a transfer.

Also, how does friedcat validate that someone owns shares when they hold an auction here on the forum if he doesn't track usernames of shareholders?
