I wouldn't say VPAY is hopeless, there is a good deal of potential in it. What SEEMS hopeless is actually getting it off the ground, lack of taking advantage of the failures of the competition, keeping investors (by choice or otherwise) informed as to what is going on, and having to watch the stock price jump up only to creep back down because to the rest of the SL world, nothing is being produced. Going months without working on it does not solidify shareholder faith, which is what I believe to be the big reason why VPAY was hovering between L$0.15 and L$0.25 not too long ago.

I understand that Chango has essentially been a one-man army in terms of getting it put together, so I can't fault him too much for having so much resting on his shoulders. Still, it doesn't SEEM like it has been a priority to get it done. Despite the sayings about L$'s not being real, or that this a stock game, real money is tied into all this. It doesn't matter if it is one cent or $50,000, we shareholders are owed results at some point or another. We are owed continuous and consistent communication at the very least.

I'm sort of a x%/y% person with VPAY. A large percent of my shares came about because of the conversion without my say, and another percent was because I purchased shares. I wasn't thrilled with my money playing ping-pong, but unlike a lot of people at the time, I trust the staff and the PTB to make honorable decisions. I can take responsibility for my choice to buy myself deeper into this though.

>sigh< Let's just get this damned thing started, get everyone informed on what is going on, and get some profitability back for those of us who haven't given up... I need my optimism back...

What you say there is exactly the way i think most people see it too.

What i find strange here is that people hold onto these stocks, if you're not willing to pay 9mill for this (price of 0.8 l$ per share) then why should anyone else ? :)

I'm not saying that vpay is holpeless, but there are other things around here that do pay a dividend, and are quiet volatile (trading friendly). They're trading a prices much less laughable also.

I think this is a bit harsh formulated..

You should also see that Chango holds over 50% of these stocks so he sits in the same boat as we all do, just with a majority part of stocks. He put his money in as we all investors did.

If you ask me if I would have invested in this if it was new and that an investment of 9 Million Linden Dollars would be necessary I propably would have laughed.

But as most here I came to the stocks like a vergin to her child... Once - a long time ago - my money were automatically transferred into stocks - I had no choice that time where I invested it because I stupid girl didn't realize the bank crash and suddenly I was stock holder instead... and that was my idea ... having a nice SL life with 0.1 percent interest per day.

I support and trust in Chango even if I would wish me some more informations about progress update from time to time.

Silverblade, well said.

As you say, lots of time has been spent and little visible progress made.

I asked the question if people believe a payment gateway is worth paying 9mill for (thats VPAY at the price of 0.79 L$ per share, current bid). If people, who btw happen to hold VPAY happen to believe that ~9mill is a good investment for a service like VPAY should become, giving VPAY some competition may not be a bad idea. Every day people hold onto an investment they miss another one.

I'm quiet sure its possbile to develop a highly competitive solution for less money than that the market valuates vpay at.

In other words, my point is that very likely VPAY is trading on unrealistic hopes, rather than potential. If someone disagrees, then lets find out (33k USD can fund quiet a lot of programming hours).

Re: lolwut?

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 07:45:17 -0700

Unfinished, theoretical, it needs to be done, up and running, and it should have been done ages ago. While I have every bit of confidence that Chango can do it, I don't have much confidence as to when he can do it. Then again, who knows what progress has been made on VPAY but Chango?

Once, I had close to 1 million shares, then it became over 50k shares after the conversion. That hurt... a lot. This has been languishing for 2 years now since the ban, and it really needs to be finished so that things can finally roll into the positive for us long-time investors that lingered on because of faith in the honor of the powers that be. While it was nice to see the buy up of stocks so the value shot back to L$1 a share, it means nothing if it sinks back down because there is no profit for VPAY, and thus no dividends or true upward movement in the value of the company.

Many of us have been extremely patient, probably more patient than if this was a real world company. Isn't it about time for such patience to be rewarded with results? Don't wait for the Lindens to do something else to screw people over, don't wait for something equally stupid to happen to XStreet.

I need to sell my shares so I can cash out enough money to invest in a few RL things. Once that investment starts bearing fruit, I can reinvest back into SLCAPEX several times over... but I need to see some action in an upward direction on VPAY.

Frans, i know this response may sound a bit strange given the circumstances. But, you should never trust an investment advice from anyone who isn't a financial advisor or expect any form of security by placing money into an unregulated, uninsured stranger, especially if you are also offered a return on investment.

You could have placed money at apez or xstreet which offered no return, but there would still be risk that your money could dissapear, because neither of them are regulated.

Time to realize the loss and move on, or speculate SLW may go up once the payment gateway project is accomplished. Either way your money is at risk so long as it is stored as L$ (LL isn't regulated neither).

Tho I don't know how to code LSL per se (I did some C in college but not much), but when I graduated college (about 10yrs ago) I was programming in 3-4 languages decently.

So if someone could point me in the direction of some white papers where I could learn to code a delivery unit (SL to MySQL communication...etc.) I could probably learn how to code relatively quickly and give you what help I can.

Yes Naya, Arbitrage does still poke his head into SL now and again. I think what Chan was trying to say is that Arb is no longer actively involved in SL Finance other than to pay off his debts (which he's still working to do thru Scott and myself).

We meet about once per month to assess Arbs progress... slow to say the least but steady and he is keeping us appraised of his outside activities as well. I don't expect miracles at this point but he has so far done everything we have demanded of him. IMO that's honorable in spite of what many here have said.

Folks,

Things haven't changed since my last update. I still plan to resume the development in Jan as planned. I can login everyday and post a message saying "Things haven't changed" but I dont think it will do much to boost the morale :)

To address some of the specific questions:
>If a company is in activity, we would find monetary movement, but it
>this case we clearly see no sign of activity…..I believe that this due to
>the loan from the current CEO. 115,000 L$ .

The company has no activity because its currently in R&D phase, and I am the CEO and the coder. So as long as I am not writing code there is not much activity - this will continue until Jan.

>This company is clearly showing sign of inability to generate
> income, but also difficulty to find creditors to finance the further
> development of the company.

When I took over VPAY, the impression was that SLW already had all the code required to be operational. Subsequently this has proved wrong and there is a lot of coding yet to be continued. Hence there is no ability to generate an income until the code is fully functional.

> However the question that I ask myself…. What is the 115 000L$
> loan consist of? if the current CEO, Mr Chango Kanto could give us

The 115K L$ loan was used to purchase the full ecommerce website thats currently running on http://vpay.slcapex.com/
Unfortunately the website by itself doesnt help until the inworld components are ready. Thats the part I am still coding, and will continue with it in Jan.

> From my point of view, the CEO seemed to lose motivation and

> CEO who is ready to get off the ship.

From the moment I took over VPAY I have not earned a single penny. The guy who made all the money is long gone from second life, and I am just trying to clean up the mess and see if anything can be salvaged. Contrast this with the CEOs who have access to the IPO funds to get their company started and running, and you will understand how hard it is to be in this position. I have even opened up my own pockets, but its not much use if we cant find someone who can help me with the coding.

So all I can say is that I am still planning to continue writing code for VPAY, but thats only possible when I have spare time which wont be until Jan. So we just have to be patient until then.

Yes I can understand you both... I hold it like Silverblade.. I still have some very low buy orders placed and was surprised that I got some stocks a few weeks ago. The stocks move up and down just on hearsaying and peoples resigning with their try to invest in this company.

In fact the price of the stocks has absolutely nothing to do with something that would concern the company devellopment itself and I must honestly say..

... even if I would be in Chango's position and had no time till january, I would at least take a look into this Forum once a day and care for the questions, doubts of the peoples that trusted me when investing their Lindens into this company.

In germany we have a saying "Nur sprechenden Leuten kann geholfen werden" .. "Only speaking peoples can be helped" - and for that we need a dialogue with the CEO. Disinformation will finally make more people leave this company.

Dear SynCere, thank you for starting this topic. I have been waiting to see what VPAY would do before investing any fund in this company. However from the last past financial records, we can clearly see that the company is not moving at all. No money in or out. I am wondering what is happening with this company.

If a company is in activity, we would find monetary movement, but it this case we clearly see no sign of activity…..I believe that this due to the loan from the current CEO. 115,000 L$ .

This company is clearly showing sign of inability to generate income, but also difficulty to find creditors to finance the further development of the company.

However the question that I ask myself…. What is the 115 000L$ loan consist of? if the current CEO, Mr Chango Kanto could give us some more details about it, but also explain reasons of his none communication with the market.

From my point of view, the CEO seemed to lose motivation and not willing to carry on his project. This is a characteristic of SL CEO who is ready to get off the ship.

I hope that mr Kanto would prove me wrong and tells us more about the current situation of Vpay, its none activity and what is his feelings about it.

Best regards.

I believe I made mention about my dissatisfaction with waiting till January with VPay. Some may chalk it up to impatience, but it is these opportunities that pop up and pass by that really annoy me when it comes to VPay. "Fortune favors the bold", but it rarely favors the procrastinators. I understand that Chango may be up to his eyebrows in things to do, but seriously... VPay direly needs to be up and rolling ASAP. Something of value must be up and rolling, and I'm talking as of August 31st 2009.

CapEx has been crawling in the background, IHMO. Where I used to be here daily, often hourly or minute by minute, now I just don't care anymore. I just don't feel like issues that have been mentioned time and again are being consistently followed up on, i.e. communication. I'm not going to be adding any more of my L$ here till things move, till things are consistent, and people are on the ball. This goes for CapEx and VPay. I'd buy up shares of other stocks, but my "fortune" has been all but dissolved because of VPay, and I have little resources to do much of anything to spread out to other stocks. Where I was once an ardent supporter, now I'm a severely disappointed and dissatisfied hanger-on.

I wish Vpay would take a good hard look at the opportunities that keep passing it by.

Ansche has already set up a market place that supplies a number of virtual worlds. I have seen a few others too. Raglan Shire tiring of LL ignoring their tiny community has expanded their website to a market place.

Now LL has announced a whole new fee structure for Xstreeter. All items listed on Xstreeter for 0L-1L will now incur a 99L per item per month listing fee. All items 2L and greater will be subject to a 3L minimum on commission per sale and a 10L per month listing fee.

There are quite a few people irate about this new fee structure and in a nut shell LL has responded with "go peddle the freebie stuff inworld"

While I can understand the desire to sift out the garbage and insure they are insuring a decent profit margin, I can't help but notice that all these changes are adding up to higher costs for lesser services.

Taking out the forum blogs was understandable. Redesigning the land classifieds was necessary although primarily what they have done is make it an uneven playing field for mainland owners. But they have greatly reduced quite a few other amenities that were offered such as the Offered Services, New Product announcements and other very useful topics.

I would much rather be paying my hard earned lindens to other SL residents.

@Scott

Oh I personally never had a contrary opinion . I was one of those that once had nearly 100k in cash before it was "made" to stocks of slwallet. And even if the stocks kept falling I invested and invested fresh money all the time.

But now as I put roundabout 200k or more Linden Dollars in stocks I think it is time to just sit and wait how the system behind VPay devellopes. Shure - you brought the price up for now and Bogart and others that bought as well - but founded on what?

All I know is that VPay is in a good state and will be finished or continued in January. But even if it IS finished than it must be brought on the market what means good marketing work etc.

This has nothing to do with a lack of trust :P

Shure - if I knew that all my investations I made would one day return and I think for that the stocks had to rise over 20 Linden Dollar per stock - then I would take all my personal financial reserves and invest now. But how realistic is that 12 Million stocks rise in such a way? Hihi - I wish it was like that - really - sort of yahoo II ^^

the raising of prices for now is a nice effect but it is not based on any official state of developement of vpay.

I allready invested too much to do so again without more information that might come in January.

My trust is there, that is why I still keep the majority of stocks I brought in. But for now my buy orders will stay at the limit I had. The coming month will show if and how the system itself will work.

Hello my fellow shareholders.

I have been reviewing some history, comments and such in regards to VPAY.

It is my personal belief that VPAY can and will be a great product and will be a part of the future of Second Life.

A lot of you have expressed a contrary opinion.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, so today I purchased another large block of VPAY bringing my holdings to over 1.3 Million shares or over 11% of the stock.

Anyone who no longer believes in this entity I encourage you to set your shares for sale so that those of us who do believe can increase our holdings.

If you do believe follow my lead and lets get as much of the stock as we can and let chan do what he does best.

Thank you,

So close to something finished, rolling, and possibly profitable and it's going to sit idle till January while people have money sitting on this, voluntary or not? January 2010... we're talking two years of patience here, two years of watching funds get chopped up to 1/20th and then to near nothing. Two years is a very long time by SL terms.

Chango, I understand you got a lot on your plate, and you've done a lot considering what little you had to start with, but putting this on hold is doing more harm than help. Something better has to be done about this, and it has to stick. I won't apologize for my frustration, or lack of constructive criticism, I'm tired of seeing my patience being repaid with diminished returns. I wish I had helpful ideas to throw out, or something encouraging to say, but it's all been bled out of me with each passing month and each glance at my portfolio value. I know I'm not the only one.

I think it is safe to say that all my past complaints and criticisms still stand. They seem to be addressed and acted on for a short time, then it all falls to the wayside. So much for my $1,000 of play money...

Progress Update

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 06:41:25 -0600

Not withstanding the self imposed 6-weeks deadline, there have been quite a few posts by the impatient. I wont bother addressing each of them since all they had to do was wait for the 6 weeks.

Anyway in the past 6 weeks I did manage to find enough time for VPAY to make progress. At this point here is the state of the code:

The website itself is around 80% completed (even though changes to the layout is an ongoing thing once we launch).
Delivery unit (DU) lsl scripting: 95% completed
Backend integration with DU: 90% completed
Frontend integration with DU: 10% completed

Overall I would say its 75% complete. I have waited for some other coders to come forward to help out, but so far nothing. Anyway, I am happy to schedule a demo to those of you who are interested in the inner workings, but be aware that to see whats working at this point you need to be a bit tech savvy as the front end is yet to be done.

At this point I have to take a break from VPAY, atleast until January as some big deadlines are coming up. My proposal is for VPAY to go into hibernation until then. If some coder is willing to take over, I would be glad to pass it on, but otherwise we just have to suspend VPAY until Jan.

Cheers,

Quite interesting that just one share selling would cause a trading halt. Are we testing the frailty of the Vpay market, looking for a chuckle or just sheer bordom from watching it just sit there.

Kind of reminds me of kids poking a body with a stick.

Wasn't here for a long time and now that i come back for a few seconds i haven't seen any progress, whatsoever. I have to agree to Silverblade and what he pointed out.

I don't want to see this company or whatever it is going to be dead like the whole projects by Arb, but actually i can't see anything that will prevent us from losing something again.

It doesn't seem like Chango has the nerve to do anything more. I do believe that VPAY still has some market potential coz there is nothing (except xstreet) that can offer what Chango said VPAY will be offering. I sticked to it from the start and won't sell any single share but i've learned my lesson and won't put any more money into it until we know what will happen or what won't.

I don't even know how much will be payed if the company will be liquidated. If it is the actual share price and not even the 1.30 with what VPAY was going live i'd be very disappointed. Actually I do hope (even if RL business is very time consuming for the coder) that Chango will stick to what he said, finish the code, put that damn thing online and finally pay some dividends, let the stock price increase so we won't face a total collapse because the end of VPAY will actually be the end for SLCX...

Think about it...

Hi,

This week I did manage to find some time for VPAY and made progress with the delivery unit. I hope to continue with this momentum. I understand that unless we can go live soon we are going to lose market advantage. With this in mind, I am giving myself 6 more weeks to see if I can find enough time to complete all the coding. If I cant, then its probably best if we liquidated the company instead of dragging it any further as a lot of you have rightly pointed out. I am proposing a shareholders' meeting in 6 weeks to see where we are and whats the best way forward.

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:27:57 -0600

I've seen my shares go from just over 1 million in SLW go to the depths of 50k in VPAY. From there I've seen those shares go from L$50k down to L$10k in value. I can take fault in not selling when the selling was good. But am I completely to blame?

Personally, I think that each day that has passed since XStreet was bought out by LL has put barriers, or even coffin nails, in any potential competitor that would follow. I understand that Chango has a lot on his plate, and that SL concerns can't be the complete focus of his waking hours, but this has gone on way too long. This stock should have been put on halt as soon as it was opened, of course, I say this looking back. Would an IPO be opened for a company that has no product out for a foreseeable future or a definite time frame? The traditional summer slump seems to only make things worse.

I've railed about communication many times over the past couple years or so. It starts off regularly at first, lasting a few weeks, and then it trails off into barely enough to know what is going on if anything is going on at all. Would other companies get away with this? The forums and news page should be humming more than once a week, and certainly more than once or twice a month, for VPAY as well as other companies listed, and not just by shareholders making a noise about this or that.

I'm normally a realist/optimist, but I see a death spiral pattern emerging here. As much as I've had faith in Arb, Bo, Scott and etc, to do things right, I must admit that I'm not really hopeful about VPAY, let alone CapEx as a whole. I'd like to be wrong, but I can't claim much confidence in how things are going. My patience, as well as the ~$1000 USD I've put into SL has been worn extremely thin.

I've also stated in many posts that people shouldn't just bash and trash without offering something constructive. All I can say is communicate as often as possible, and even when it's not. Halt this sucker and open it up when it goes live. Clean up all the frozen companies or remove them, 1/3 of an exchange being frozen is ridiculous. Be more rigid on enforcing the rules. A lot of these things should be obvious. Whatever happened to the days when there were over a million shares exchanged in a single day? Why is it that barely a few thousand are exchanged now? Whatever happened to mandatory shareholder meetings every month or so? Tighten up this ship guys, because I don't wanna spend my time in a dinghy, or getting my feet ripped off by sharks while trying to keep my water wings inflated! I wanna see some ass kicking, and putting other exchanges to shame, and you guys, TPTB, gotta step up somewhere, or people are gonna step out.

Scott,

Only if you cross the street by speculative methods. Such as using the roulette method; "I bet on walking on red because it saves time."

Even worse, how about standing completely still in the middle of a street becasue you heard some programmer will meet you in the middle of that street in the future and show you the next generation payment gateway ?

My advice is, walk on green, get off the street unless you have some seriously good reason to stand there, if possible chose the most efficient route for your trip.

From streetcrossing to sl stocks, reason i recommend people to sell VPAY (and i have been since SLW listed, i said, sell, sell, sell... those who listened either lost money elsewhere or made money elsewhere). I'm saying it again, SELL. That speculation is something most people are uncomfortable with, but the facts are quiet clear, MLS pays dividends has upside potential, VPAY does not.

At a capitalization of ~2.5mill (thats based on recent price of 0.20) these services will have to become VERY popular to return better investement than that of MLS, and again if you converted your VPAY shares into MLS today you'd during the development process of VPAY receive dividends and benefit from the potential upside. Propably you could buyback your entire VPAY holding 1 year from now only from dividends from MLS.

Don't stand still in the middle of the street, cross it! Then go back and buy the entire street. ;)

VPAY is pretty much the hope that chango will have time to develop the payment gateway.

For now thats all there is, a potential unfinished technology project, which may or may not be successful even when completed.

It's a very high risk speculation and the upside is limited (lots of shares outstanding, vpay will have to do seriously large revenues to bring any reasonable EPS).

Btw. Neither gambling, nor interest payments, nor camping are gone. We now have skillgaming, not-guaranteed-indirect-returns, and alternative ways to attract ppl to land. :=)

Not now... Arb's old SLW shares. Unless you are able to drive confidence up with your change and new company, the same thing will happen as did with SLW. A great idea with little/no follow through.

You will get your ideas painted with the same brush. It was kind what you did, but realize most people here are only here to get back what they started with, a deposit in a bank.

If I sum up all of what I read before. Arb gave you the shares and you invest more L$ of your own. Yes?

Re: Question?

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 15:17:05 -0600

Technically the shares Arbitage bought should have been destroyed. He gave us the shares as an IOU and was to buy them back over an extended period of time. Buying them back, destroying them, thus driving up the value of the remaining shares and satisfying his debit to us.

He was making a huge profit from them at the end as he gave them out at $1L each but at the end was buying them at $.1L

In theory Arb should have sold you the shares and then used that to pay off the rest of his debt.

Unless I've gotten it horribly wrong, in which case, when do we see some progress towards making this go up in price as it starts to look like something tangible and income generating?

A nice steady progress from .50 to .20 over the last 30 days. I am wondering if there is anything happening to generate value?

I'm curious who is buying and selling this stock without any news or optimism. Even day traders need movement to make money.

Arbitage managed to turn $40,000L into $1,000L. So far I've seen the go to $420L.

Is there something being done to return confidence to this or will the micro moving day trading drop this down to .05/.06 again?

I'm beginning to think people are wait for everyone to forget and walk away with a lot of abandoned Lindens.

Hey Cash,

Thanks for the positive response. You have summed up the situation well. I understand the frustration of lot of people who have been waiting to go live. I am one of the people frustrated too because I cant just put aside everything else and work on VPAY. Unfortunately as I had explained in another post, RL priorities trump SL affairs and there is nothing I can do about it, hence the delays. I haven't sold a single share of VPAY. Infact, I have purchased a lot of VPAY shares at around $1.00 because I am pretty confident in the success.

I think selling shares at this point is pretty pointless as Cash pointed out, but I don't want to stop the stocks. If someone wants to pick it up at its current bargain basement price, there is no reason why they should not.

Best Regards,
Chango.

hello, all it is certain that the bad experiences that we have experienced does not force the optimism. Even so, I will think of a better day and capture the oportunities to buy shares at low price.But taking advantage of these attractive costs, I took part in the collapse of the share price even if I do is not a sales below 1 ls.
And this causes me a problem but I am also responsible for the lower prices by offering stock price low, in this context of uncertainty. But this is the risk of any speculation.And I took the risk and not to sell at any price in the hope of even trace a long-term shares of this company in which I envisioned a bright future for the early wpm.
I encourage all buyers to do so, and for sellers, alone to judge whether it is interesting to sell suffering heavy losses.

Hi again Escortina,

Stopping the stock may seem like an idea, but it would not achieve much as the price would stay the same. The public believes the value of the stock is its current price. When they believe it worth more the price will increase slowly. Opportunity and risk are two factors that are being considered by those who hold the stock, as with any other traded company. (Hoping and waiting just like you).

Your story is like most, myself included. I too would not sell stocks, not because of the price, but because I know that Chango is truely capable to turn nothing into something great (which we have already witnessed with the work he has completed in his short time when he took over VPAY). So Escortina hang in there and don't worry about the price fluctuating as it will continue to do that for sometime, but there will come a time when the price starts to rise, so any purchase you made before that time (when the price is low) is a profit.

Well I guess I am just an optimist and keep on hoping that the SLW history doesn't repeat even if the devellopment of the stocks looks exactly like that.

All this **** started when Linden Labs said that paying interest is illegal and my money that I only had to get exactly these 0.1% interest per day were transformed to stocks.

If I had known that before I would have bought other stocks or withdrawn all and would life a nice life now *roflmaoooo*

Well - I will keep on hoping and waiting - I guess there is no other option. I will not sell my stocks now :P

But based on the history of SLW/VPAY I would have never put any more money--cash or linden or otherwise--into it. At least not until this company shows signs of an upswing (no offense...). I know there's always the possibility of getting a return on investment in the (far) future, but this has been a long uphill battle.

Some suggestions for the VPAY site

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:22:20 -0600

I figured it was about time to start a topic like this so we can help refine the site to make it more attractive to merchants and customers alike. I've got at least 1 suggestion and will prolly post more as I think of them.

The big thing for me would be the search engine, for the love of GOD don't allow searching in the descriptions. If you do that we'll have a search engine like it is in SL, loaded with erroneous keywords that have NOTHING whatsoever to do with the product being sold.

For me as a customer (maybe some merchants who read this will read this and mend their errors) there's no bigger pain in the @$$ then searching for something I need and finding everything BUT what I need. It makes me want to hunt down the merchants that did this and slap their head through a steel bridge support.

Have searches based on category and description only that's all that really counts, and for the idiots that want to load the descriptions with erroneous keywords? Have a provision in the VPAY TOS that imposes heavy fines on them, it'll be another source of income and it will teach people that you won't put up with that crap.

Trust me there's a lot more people who feel the same way I do and if you can pull that off (have a nice clean efficient search system) the user count will go through the roof.

That's the one big feature I'd like to see, everyone else feel free to comment/add their own features that they'd like. I'm sure the site is gonna depend on us bata testing it and providing feedback.

Realisticly, you know as well as i do that quality programmers are buzy, they may consider an additional project but only if the compensation is easy to estimate (ie: cash). You may find a guy under a bunker in Pakistan (or for that matter under a bridge in San Francisco) which may or may not deliver but most likely you wont get quality.

If you don't have time for VPAY, and from what you said you don't. I'd suggest the following options:

a)

Destroy all the shares of the slcapex board members (the shares which were created out of thin air when you took over the mess Arbitrage created). Put the sourcecodes on auction, and pay investors a ONE-TIME liquidation dividend. To end this neverending chapter which started with JT-Bank, converted to SLW and ended with VPAY.

b)

Opensource the code, and instead of focusing on the inital business-plan, build a servicing business-plan around the open source. Like Zend did to PHP.

Continuing as is, is no good neither for you nor for VPAY investors.

Just some food for thought. For the record i have no financial interest in neither VPAY nor SLCAPEX, ever since both went "insolvent" under the bridge(s) of "Arbitrage Wise & associates".

Hey thanks for pointing out the debug options - had enabled it for some testing. Disabled it now.

As for cash ... nice try. If there was any cash in this for me, I would hired someone long ago !

Get some rest Chango. When you wake up review

app/views/errors/missing_action.ctp

And your FinancialsController::VPAY() in file: app/controllers/financials_controller.php

:)

ps: a typo shouldn't view me those msgs.

Btw. handsome compensation sounds fair, but only cash, i'm too buzy for shares.

Hi Folks,

I was hoping to take the site online in the last 2 weeks. Unfortunately one of my RL client has been doing a series of launches keeping me very busy. Infact I havent slept much in the past 7 days at all! I wanted to update the shareholders that this situation is going to continue for another 4-8 weeks and I wont be able to spend any time on SL during this time.

Does it mean I am retiring from SL ?

No, I will be temporarily unable to tend to my SL business, but once things go back to normal I will be back.

What will happen to the site launch ? Will it still be launched at all ?

Yes, definitely. Obviously we cant do a half-assed launch. So the site launch will be delayed by a few weeks. I am actively looking for coders who can help me finish up the site. If any of you know some references please forward them to me. We need someone who is proficient in PHP and LSL to be able to finish up the site integration.
The coder will be handsomely compensated! So if you know someone, let me know right away.

What about my VPAY shares ?

I havent sold any VPAY shares so far and I do not plan to sell any in the near future. I am putting aside a chunk of these shares for development - as I said any coders who work on this project will be well compensated from these shares.

I really regret this delay, but in the current economic climate it is impossible to prioritize SL over RL commitments. Thanks for the patience.

Cheers,
/Chango
