Today's announcement doesn't pertain to listings, so 1) is a ways off still You can do 2) through your existing broker, so long as they are a member of the LTSE, which they likely already are. You can check their membership status here: https://brokercheck.finra.org/ https://brokercheck.finra.org/

I honestly cannot figure out how to use this site to see if my broker, or any broker for that matter, is a member of LTSE. Would you be able to provide an example?

  Sure. Here's Citadel's profile from FINRA: https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/firm/firm_116797.pdf https://files.brokercheck.finra.org/firm/firm_116797.pdf Scroll down to page 9, you'll see they are a member of The Long-Term Stock Exchange

Is there a path for investors from outside the US?

How can I do 2) if I don't even have a list of who is listed that I might want to buy? I don't even need closing prices at the very moment, I can't even find a single member of LTSE after spending 5 minutes on your site... The goal seems laudable but this feels like a mess to me if it is actually "open for business". Neither of my two big bank brokers support it and even if they did, I again have no idea what I would be investing in. To me, the wildest thing is that in order to find out of I could even invest, I had to find out via a bad UX of reading a hacker news comment, going to a different website, being confused by that website's UX, having to read more comments, clicking into a tiny link that leads to a long PDF and scrolling to a specific page, and then repeating for all my broker options. Why not just list the major people who serve LTSE on your website clearly along with the tickers/companies?

I am a broker and software engineer and am just now hearing of the LTSE. Is there a test or way to register through FINRA? Would be interested in taking part in this in both capacities.

  Trading has to happen via a broker that is a member of the exchange (as is true for every other exchange). If you are part of a firm that would like to become a member, the information is here: https://longtermstockexchange.com/market/connectivity/ https://longtermstockexchange.com/market/connectivity/
