Rule 506(b) of Regulation D
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act exempts from registration transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Rule 506(b) is a rule under Regulation D that provides conditions that an issuer may rely on to meet the requirements of the Section 4(a)(2) exemption. One of these conditions is that an issuer must not use general solicitation to market the securities.
General solicitation includes advertisements published in newspapers and magazines, public websites, communications broadcasted over television and radio, and seminars where attendees have been invited by general solicitation or general advertising. In addition, the use of an unrestricted, and therefore publicly available, website constitutes general solicitation. The solicitation must be an offer of securities, but solicitations that condition the market for an offering of securities may be considered to be offers.
OFFERING RULES
This offering is being made available on the Bitcoin, Litecoin and Counterparty forums. We will not be responding publically (on this thread) until the offering is successful or the duration of the offering (as described above) is complete. Whichever occurs first. This is to stay compliant with Regulation D filing rules for Rule 506(b) by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Any questions regarding this offering can be directed to the contact person listed above.
As friendly advice, you really are not covering yourself by not responding publicly. You've already posted the offering and the damage is done.
Listing Fees
We estimate our total costs relating to the registration of the securities offered herein shall be approximately $10,000.
You didn't register the securities. You filed a form claiming an exemption to registration. Also, the fees for an exempt filing are nowhere near that high.
In
your SEC filing, you claimed that the minimum amount accepted from any outside investor is $5,000 USD. Does Counterparty even have a mechanism in place to enforce this? Can it enforce the restriction to sell only to 'accredited investors'?
Also, why are you using beta software as the shareholder ledger for your company?
