My eventual aim is have a securities rating service. Much like services offered by Moody's and S&P. I am also very interested in equity research done by investment banks. I feel that it is something that will benefit both the investors and miners.

Oh good, our last securities rating service turned out to be a scamming bumblefuck. Of course no one would believe us when we called him out as being a scamming bumblefuck for months before finally everyone was forced to admit it, but hey... Bitcoin.

Anyway, good to have someone here to run some ratings on these unregistered securities by anonymous persons traded on unregistered exchanges. Wouldn't want people to run blindly to their doom, now would we?

BTW, what personally is your opinion on starfishes?

you're missing the point. bitcoin transactions can all be traced, which means it would be very easy to audit transactions and give a reliability rating. The reports put out by S&P on equities have a number of ratings. And furthermore, the research analysts should NOT be anonymous.

In any case, if reliability can't be achieved, at least comparability will be. That's better than nothing, and is something I think is worth striving for.
