looking at the IPO, I'd like to go at least 5 BTC deep. which would give me roughly 16% of the total IPO.

however I would be naive to think that there isn't going to be some last minute rush. So the game then becomes trying to figure out what exactly the total IPO investment is going to end on. I am guessing we might see a 100 BTC IPO, thus only giving me 1/20th with a 5 BTC investment.

a ~100ish BTC IPO would establish the base price to be (100/(5*10^6)) = 2*10^-5 = 0.00002 BTC, which oddly enough I dont feel very comfortable with, seems a bit high for a new coin. I would hope the price would rise past that as a potential investor

hmm, decisions decisions....
