I would suggest using a more understandable date format, the "mm/dd/yyyy" is quite insane to anyone who is not used to it.
If you do not want to switch to "dd/mm/yyyy" that would be understandable, but there are alternatives, such as "yyyy/mm/dd", or at worst "mon dd yyyy" (i.e. the months in letters instead of numbers).

NO! '''yyyy/mm/dd''' is best! It's perfectly logical order, it's vocabulary-sortable, it's ergonomical to read (you don't have to finish reading the whole line if you need to scan with only month or year precision), and it's ISO!

Except, there should be hyphens (-) or en-dashes (–) instead of slashes(/). Please fix this and it will be perfect!

Why such huge difference in price between bitfunder & btct ?

Both buys and sells are within .01btc...

Plus it makes it interesting for folks who engage in arbitrage trading. Wink

We're still around 25% returns on ASICMINER-PT...
As we get closer to what traditional investors and investments can get, will those investors require more data and transparency?

Is there a reason virtual markets would be willing to shoulder more risk for equal or less returns than traditional markets?

25% in stock price would be an awesome year for a traditional investor. 25% in dividends plus whatever the price of AM shares has gone up would be an insane return. What did you think traditional investors usually make? What does your portfolio look like so that I can copy it?

FRIEDCAT TEAM UP = 158%+ today pennyland.pt and climbing i'm all cash out it's been fvn bvy the dips! Cool

As far as I'm concerned these virtual markets are much more risky than traditional markets thus the bar on dividends must be higher.

correct

What I don't understand is why people are investing in some of these mining contracts that render around 3-7% dividends.

People also buy vapour from BFL.
People are stupid.

Can't speak for all investors but, yeah, I would require more data and transparency if it dipped under 20%.

There are many overvalued mining securities out there. AM is not one of them.

Last report is the most important so I think it should be the very first link on index page.
However if You insist on chronological order then last report first with bold font, followed by all previous reports.

Example 1:

Code:

[b]Current report 2013-07-10[/b]
Previous report 2013-06-30
Previous report 2013-06-23
Previous report 2013-06-16

Example 2:

Code:

[b]Current Report 2013-07-10[/b]
Previous report 2013-06-16
Previous report 2013-06-23
Previous report 2013-06-30

yyyy-mm-dd is the ISO standard.

ISO standard it is! Thank you for correcting my american bias!

I appreciate that : )

The other consideration is the ordering of the posts. Initially people only care about the most recent post... but later people coming to this may want to read them all.

I'd put the oldest first.

That's because if you are a new reader and want to read them in order, scrolling upwards is very bad, especially if posts are more than 1 page long.

Vice-versa, if you put oldest first, people can just click the link pointing to the new post and reach it without hassle.

Do I a) keep it in reverse chronological order b) order them chronologically c) have the most recent one first, then chronologically or d) Some other option I have yet to consider.

Also, Thank you for the donations! I will be forwarding some/using them in part to fund my donations of SimG and Runeks for their awesome charts.

Finally, honestly all suggestions are welcome. I want this to be a good resource, and for that to be so I need people to double check I got my info right, or mention things I may not have considered. For example someone suggested making sure to get negative news in there, not just the biased positive news. I realized I was being a huge fanboy and corrected that this week.
