@soupsoup, I forget exactly how the old IPO system worked, but I think it had the same stage 1 and then stage 2 was based off the trading in stage 1 and was also fixed amount. Anyone remember?
KoC was trying to get this new system to scale faster.
To me random starts could help by spreading the opportunities to all users. I don't think it would need to be made public in advance because then someone might then still be able to get on the site earlier and snatch up all the shares.
Another thing that might help is to place advance orders. After stage 1 you could put advance orders into the system that would not be cleared out (I think it clears out all orders put in during stage 1 after stage 1 ends).
So if it ends at 3000 orders bought during stage 1 at 10000, it could allow you to put in an advance order at anything about that. This would work best if it stated what value it would debut at after stage 1.
Multiple stages based on adjustments before each one might work. I like the idea.
It does, but I don't know if it scales fast enough yet. Even if it did I think one to a few users are still being able to take advantage of it, which is why I like random starts say 12am-11:59pm.
I wonder if it could scale faster if we were allowed more than that 250k limit.
