Someone care to explain, pros and cons from buying from one or the other?

What did you want? Someone to hold your hand while you browsed? Lol.

Go read each funds prospectus...the fee's are explained.


TL;DR ASICMiner-PT has no fee's, all the others have 5% or so fee's.

Looks like a pyramid Smiley

Definately a pyramid. And to keep it plausible they created ASICs on the way, which they ship all over the world and have bought
80k 7950s to produce the fake hashrate over months Wink
Lmao pyramid..

One sells whole shares, one sells partial shares.  Burnside's has been operational longer... and takes less in fees.  TAT is newer, but the smaller units let you take advantage of compounding interest in a way with dividend reinvestment, although TAT has higher fees.

Personally I have holdings in DIRECT shares, Burnside, and TAT.  I avoided Bitfunder because I do not like their system...
How does one get hold of direct shares?
So which has proven to pay out more?

They all pay the same except TAT which charges a 5% fee.

Direct shares are purchased OTC from someone who holds them, look in the marketplace for an Auction, Usually if someone is holding an auction they post here notifying people.    Unless you have 50+btc to invest, stick to the PT at BTCT.  Direct shares are for bigger players with larger holdings (usually people who got in early, and cheep).  Direct share transfers are done manually by friedcat... and usually involve escrow, so they can take days to a week to do a trade.  If you go onto BTCT you can get shares in less then an hour.

Burnside's PT will pay out more, but TAT still again has the advantage if you plan to use dividend reinvestment, or cant afford a full share.
Thanks a lot, this is what I needed to know for now.

Because the API from Blockchain.info isn't working yet (I've asked them for a fix in their topic) I'm updating my charts with the 'Known blocks' info on their Pools page:
http://blockchain.info/pools
Mined blocks by Asicminer divived by total mined blocks = network percentage of Solomining
There are about 10% Unknown mined blocks not included in this list, but these compensate with the fact that the network is mining more than 144 blocks/day because of the 'delayed' difficulty.

Added to all the other pools gives a total hashrate of ~22 TH/s Smiley
I know the values from solomining are not 100% exact, and can theoretically be way off from the actual hashrate.
But in the end it are the mined blocks that counts, so using the mined blocks to estimate the hashrate isn't a bad idea at all Undecided

They all pay relatively the same dividends. The TAT ones withhold 5% of dividends as a management fee. However, please note that this is 5% of divs, not 5% of share value. It would take like a year in 5% div fees to get to 5% of share value, possibly longer.

That is a math detail I've been meaning to clear up. Please take the time to actually figure out how much 5% div fees might cost before ignoring TAT shares. Sometimes getting a TAT share 1% cheaper than elsewhere can erase the worry of 5% div fees for the short term. I know it's a little complicated, but do the math and you'll see what I mean!

do we know how many USB miners have sold?  some people have mentioned that all 10,000 have sold.  Is this correct?

Friedcat previously said he would make "Up to" 10k based on demand... in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/announcement-block-erupter-usb-ready-to-hash-everywhere-in-the-world-212085  he is making more then the 10k, for release "Soon".  So I assume all 10k were sold.

AFAIK there are two group buys that got over 300 pcs in paid orders.
