You need users to be able to prove they had balance x as of date y. For instance you can keep a per-user balance for shares at last payment date, and share changes since the last payment date. The latter gets updated whenever they send or receive shares. | |

But what do I do to prevent token holders from claiming dividend and then sending their tokens to another address and claim again. Halting transfer seems to overcome that issue but seems quite radical. I would also like if investors can claim dividends any time they like. | |
