The interface is also alot more familiar to those that have used BTC-TC/LTC-Global. It is also not US based/owned/hosted and will not have the problems that those exchanges and bitfunder had. It offices are located in Hong Kong, which may be of some convenience for you as well.
Like other exchanges it also will allow you choose how much information you wish to provide to back up your identity with eg: passport, address, phone, social networking etc and the users will be able to see this info on site and make their decisions on whether to invest or not.
Head, meet desk.
The idea that anyone would actually encourage yet more citizen finance just boggles. It is not the fact that play exchanges were "in the US" that caused their shutdown.

will continue to cause, their demise.
Serious question, been hiding in a cave the last few months...what's so bad about cryptostocks?
All this aside : you cant invest with Cryptostocks for the same reason you cant swim in the desert, you cant invest with Cryptostocks for the same reason you cant sunbathe at night. You cant invest with Cryptostocks because it cant be done, nobody can do it. Its a gamble, and as my PR aptly pointed out for the benefit of the forum muppetry long long ago, if gambling is your idea of investing then youre much better served investing in one of the dice games. You can roll for dividends as often or as rarely as you can stomach it, you can set your dividend ratio in advance, and most of all you are actually playing a provably fair game. Which is a much better deal than the sort of crap computer-illiterate dorks with a ready software package and zero business experience can ever offer.
