Dividend for today is: 0.011 per share
Is that good or bad?

-_-!, Let me put it this way. I am dancing balalaika right now, I am not even Russian!

Ka-ching! Cheesy  My own shares are outperforming my mining this week, then.

Serious questions about these devices' implementation of Icarus protocol though:

(1) are they interruptible (sending down a new work unit discards the one in progress immediately) to minimize stales?  This is a headache with my BFL FPGAs.
(2) If not interrupted, will they scan the entire noncerange or abort after hitting a share?
(3) Do they report found shares immediately or at the end of the work?
(4) Do they implement notification on exhausting the noncerange without finding a share?

I ask this because I'm considering rolling a little custom miner app just for them. Wink

Mostly irrelevant for the USB miner buyers.

last week was like .0077, so it is a big increase.

Good.  Grin

By my calculations, if you expect an annual return of 30% from your dividends (.5% per week), then today's is a significant increase and the shares are drastically undervalued at current prices.  To stay at .5% per week at this dividend, the share value should be 2.2 btc.

any ETA for the USB ?

lol. This is turning into a BFL forum thread now. PMSL.

Well if you are a true beleiver like many here Friedcat (or his fans) says it's available now, pledge with a group buy and you will have it at home mining in 5-6 days (14th May latest) just as difficulty jumps to 10.5million.

If you are a realist i would say 1st week of June at the earliest, if not later when difficulty is between 12-13 million.

Take your pick and hand over your 2BTC.

You should read OP, you'll find that friedcat said that USB miners will be ready in 15-20 days.

Can you direct me to these direct share auctions?


Try the auction sub-forum?

I'd have bought AM shares if they were really for sale, but they're not. You don't get a contract directly with AM any more, or at least not last time I checked. You need to trust a couple extra "layers".
you can buy shares through auctions in this forum.  They are a direct shares.  But, I don't see the point of direct shares, and typically, bitfunder is .1-.3 btc cheaper per share than direct shares.  They all get the same dividends, and I have no reason not to trust the PTs.

Additionally, you can convert PT shares to direct shares, if you want.

Can you direct me to these direct share auctions?

Solo mining is just dumb luck, pooled mining ensures you get paid.

Not when you have ~25% of the hashing power and you are bigger than most pools on your own.

I think that a normal price for this gadget it would be 0.7BTC + shipment

Probably not. If I get enough purchases, this could be increased. I currently have mining hardware that is greatly in excess of this hashrate Smiley

I am buying at least two in the US/Canada group buy. I like the idea so much I even started a little mining IPO called TURTLE MINING using these USB miners Smiley

I'm not sure it's worth the administrative headache to create a mining IPO starting with 600MH/s :|

ARE YOU PEOPLE NUTS?! $230 for a device that's 1/16th the speed of the $275 BFL machine? These should be $30. $40 tops.

Agree with this. It's little overpriced. if 2 BTC for 300 USB, that means 3 or 4 BTC for 1 USB when they start reselling and that's just too much.
