Now Satoshi Dice
has been sold off, is ASICMiner the only decent security left with a healthy, long term dividend return? (Apart from meta-securities like BTCInvest which invest in other securities).
LTC-Global fits that bill nicely, although it is traded in Litcoins not Bitcoins, on litecoinglobal.com. As far as I can see there isn't a passthrough on btc-tc (yet).
For the sake of transparency I own at least 10 shares of it and am therefor a board member, so keep that in mind. (For the sake of bragging I bought in a few months ago at under 70LTC, and it has traded for over 300LTC recently.
)
With yield below 5%, along with thin volume and huge bid-ask spread. I think coins are better put to work elsewhere. I would recommend looking at 796 exchange. For full disclosure, I do trade on 796 and own 796 stock.
796's 'btc-settled' future on BTCUSD exchange rate brings something new to the table and allows one to either hedge their BTC, arbitrage opportunity, or long / short BTC with leverage!
Also, you can trade ASICMINER passthrough there as well.
Yeah, it's great if you don't mind not having 2FA to log in and getting pillaged in fees. From their fee table at
https://796.com/vip Tier Total volume Futures trading commission Stock trading commission Withdraw fee
VIP0 0 0.6% 1.2% 1.2%
VIP1 10 0.6% 1.2% 1.2%
VIP2 100 0.5% 1.0% 1.0%
VIP3 1000 0.4% 0.8% 0.8%
VIP4 10000 0.3% 0.6% 0.6%
VIP5 100000 0.2% 0.4% 0.4%
VIP6 1000000 0.1% 0.2% 0.2%
You have to trade 1,000,000 BTC volume before you get on PAR with btct.co's trade fees, nevermind that you'd already spent a fortune in fees to get there. And you can NEVER get on par with btct.co's withdrawal fees which are basically free with the exception of the bitcoind client's fees.
I don't think I've seen fees that bad anywhere.
Hi burnside,
Since we’re futures exchange, the volume will be great with leverage. The VIP value is easy to earn. And we count 3 times value for automatic settle on Sundays. There has already several members with VIP4 so far. And this VIP tier plan will show its great advantage in the near future. Another reason for the commission plan is that we have free 796Futures-PD exclusively:
https://796.com/stockpd?lang=enNow we gift stocks according to trading volume. For earlier investors, the value of the stocks they get has increased 5 to 10 times; and now the investors can get free stocks for their trading and the value of the stocks can compensate the commission. We guess this is preferable and comforting. See here:
https://796.com/other/stock.html?lang=enAbout login, users are required to enter Google authenticator after they enable it when they access to their accounts(Mt. Gox style). Besides, we have our creational security code which is saved completely separated and members are requested to enter the security code manually when they want to withdraw. And then we will check the code ourselves. That’s to say, we could definitely protect our users’ fund unless they let out their security code themselves.
Thanks for your attention and your advice.
