Journal Marxist Hacker 42's Journal: Announcing my intention: The Oregon Project 35
Pre vision Pre IPO announcement: Upon 10 people responding positively to this Journal Entry, I will create an e-mail address and a paypal account for the sale of $10 official pre-IPO shares in The Oregon Project, a new co-op to invest in Robotic Technology and the Control of Natural Resources. 250 shares will be available at this price, with the proceeds being used to set up the initial corporation. Future shares will be $1000, so read Manna and decide now if you want to invest. Stay tuned to this JE for announcement of the e-mail address to send your money to, in return you'll get a PDF of the official share certificates, and your name and contact information entered into the database of allowable Oregon Project Sponsor Citizens.
-----------------------
I've had enough interest that 10 shares will be purchased for sure at some point in the future. That is enough interest for me to actually do something. Which I will do this weekend, to the extent of finishing the stockholder database and creating the program that spits out the stock certificates in PDF. If you really want to toss your $10 into the hat, http://seeberfamily.org/ORProj/ is the temporary website, and Paypal's transaction recording is already taking your e-mail & shipping information which will feed the stockholder database. I'm open to anybody who wants to redesign that single HTML file into something better- just view source, change to your concept, and send it to ORProj at information dot us. This is a coop, not a dictatorship, and the first 250 shares will raise the money to create a non-profit corporation that states that.

Correct. But you do grow your investment, just like any other investor. AND creation of technology is enough- the end creation of the commune doesn't need replication of patented devices for sale, only buying pat

I'm in for four shares, but paypal does no workee for me. Western Union OK? Can wire money today or tommorow.

And agreed, don't know if it will work or not- all you might get in return is an e-mailed PDF or four, numbered with your name on it- and it may well take private detectives to track down your descendants by the time this thing reaches maturity. But it's better than ending up in terrafoam

And I have zero problems with that. The important thing is to build momentum. The best thing that could happen to this project is for copycats to emerge. Have you emailed Brain about this? Maybe he might want to set something up coordinating all the projects like this that might emerge.

No, wait- better idea, why don't you two go ahead and do it? This is supposed to be a cooperative, after all! Go ahead and link to my JEs and of course the stock sales website, write your own JEs or post here with anything you find out.

WU or snail mail is just fine; the new version of the website at http://seeberfamily.org/ORProj/ [seeberfamily.org] has the address. But I'm going to have to run such payments through my home business account, so make it payable to Information-R-US.
