gollark: And my idea for how the buying/selling would work is that you'd create a "sell order" if you wanted to sell it, and set a price, and your share would be sold as soon as anyone created a "buy order" with that price or a higher one.
gollark: The auctioning could be done with a Vickrey auction, which apparently "gives bidders an incentive to bid their true value", which seems like a good property.
gollark: My suggested way for it to work has always been having meme shares pay dividends (based on upvotes, maybe every hour or after a fixed time or something), giving the creator some of the shares, and selling the others to "the market" (maybe via some sort of short auction mechanism?), then just letting everyone trade them freely until they pay out.
gollark: Investing is a losing proposition, or at least a breaking-even-usually one, sooo...
gollark: Yep!
