Would it be possible to do direct shares without using an exchange (like what Asicminer does)?
I sent out a email concerning it, and in short the answer is yes. I just need to find out what's legal and what is not. A great deal of it would depend on whether or not you're located in the US or not.
Seems like a good time to be leaving the US.
Thankfully, RentalStarter isn't based in the US
So will Hong Kong law be the determining factor in facilitating US investors or would US law still cause problems? Or were you referring to Bitfunder stipulations when you made a comment earlier saying that you may or may not be able to continue servicing US customers?
If the law in Hong Kong allowed you to do so, but Bitfunder said that they would not accept you if you did, would you consider a move to a freer exchange or convert to a direct share format?
I'll consider either depending on what I can find out concerning laws. In the past month we have retained legal advice from attournies in both HK and the US.
