It'll pay out tomorrow at a bit after 16:00 GMT - that's 1 day and half an hour from now.

EDIT : That's Friday for me and for most time-zones.

It will be paying out on Friday around Noon GMT.

This post is confusing due to the time it was posted. Just to clear things up, will SELLING be paying out on Friday or Saturday?

I'm currently working on a C# library for communication with the BTCT API (and a simple client as a testing platform). Many of the API calls are already implemented and tested.

Adding automated transfers is a simple matter of making a periodically called function that loads the trade history (transfers are listed there) and submits the appropriate transfer requests afterwards.

I know python, though I've never used the oauth library.
Unless you find someone who already knows both, I might be of help.
Let me know : )

How much BTC is the expected income from investments?
How many btc each share will?

Yeah SELLING dividend won't be tomorrow.

After I do tomorrow's dividend I'll post a dummy report for the next day - showing what dividend would be assuming no further profit from investments and no further sales of PURCHASE.

It definitely looks like being around .008 - unless investments go up or down a lot (J-D can fall as well as rise - at present it's slightly up from last report).

The difficulty adjustment missed the 23:59 GMT deadline by about 30 minutes, guess that selling dividend will have to wait

Yes, my estimate based on bitcoindifficulty.com and the latest NAV/U is 0.00805837 BTC/share. That's 25.84% of your investment!!

I don't know python but it did seem to be the one I was likely to end up using.  I'll probably sling up a bounty for someone else to do it - then amend whatever they produce to add in the extra functionality I'll want later.

Had hoped to find a C++ library for it but doesn't seem to be a decent one around.  The issue isn't so much learning another language as learning all the different libraries for things like building a GUI, interfacing with a database etc.

You should be able to do it pretty easily with Python using urllib2 and google's oauth2 library. If you don't know python yet, it is one of the easier languages to learn and very expressive / powerful.

Yeah - I'm going to be looking at getting that done once I've finished work on my website (mentioned it a few pages back).

I did have a quick look around a few days back but couldn't find any Oauth 2 libraries I could use to do it quickly, so as I'll likely have to learn some new language to do it it'll have to wait until I've finished what I'm currently working in.

Most of what I could find is only designed to use on a website - when, ideally, I want something to run stand alone (would set up a laptop I'm not currently using to run it with its own mobile broadband dongle in so it wasn't even using same IP as anything else).  I can't just upload it to my hosting as no way I'm going to leave anything that can access the account on a computer someone else (hosting provider's staff) could look at.

It's definitely something I want done - not just for DMS but for some other projects I have in mind.

just as an information:

Current Difficulty:  21335330.00   

Estimated next difficulty:  26004984.65

Difficulty Est % Change: 21.89%

Retarget Distance: 0d 13hr 40m

So the DIVIDEND OF SELLING will be pretty high this time including The investment winnings.

Deprived, not sure if you answered this already, but have you looked into automating the transfer of PURCHASE to MINING+SELLING shares?

FUrther to the above here's the average selling price of MINING for each day since 18th June (3rd column is MINING price - 2nd was the PURCHASE selling price).  The 2 difficulty changes were on 22nd June and 30th June.  And right up to yesterday trades were still occurring at an average price around same as before the first of those 2 drops.  I've excluded the first 6 days as those were price-discovery combined with someone who obviously didn't understand how it worked trying to manipulate the market up (then giving up and selling at a loss).

MINING prices are an average for last 24 hours taken at around the time I paid out dividends each day - not done precisely on time but within an hour of it on all occasions (usually just before, sometimes just after).

On what basis do you decide it has a higher volatilty?  Here's the graph for MINING (go to 30-day):

http://www.coinflow.co/chart/DMS.MINING

Indeed there WAS a big drop after the difficulty rise on 22nd June.  But thing is, the price rebounded back up again afterwards.  In fact the price now (1 day before a large rise in difficulty) is basically exactly the same as it was on 21st June (the day before the large difficulty rise 2 rises ago).  The evidence just doesn't support your agrument that DMS.MINING has more volatilty.

Compare it to TAT.VM :

http://www.coinflow.co/chart/TAT.VIRTUALMINE

That had a larger drop at the large difficulty rise and never rose back quite so well.  There's barely any trade on the other PMBs to compare to.

On the last drop there was barely a budge in MINING price - just 1 or 2 people sold shares and the price then rebounded (same thing happened in the middle between the two rises).

It's all fine and well arguing about how volatility effects things - but the data just doesn't support that it exists of the type you were referring to.  Sure some people will panic - but there's no reason to believe they'll do it more than will on other assets.  And they can't over-correct downwards every time anyway - or they'd be giving away the shares in no time at all.  Fact is the price now is within 5% of where it was 3 weeks ago - with 2 difficulty changes having occurred in between.  And I'm sure you'd agree that logically the price SHOULD be falling a bit anyway - regardless of herd mentality - as the dividends already paid will never be paid again.

If you compare MINING to other PMBs you'll also find that the trades occur in a much narrower band - which is far better for those who want to buy as investment with the opportunity to sell again later.

Your volatility appears to be a mythical beast.  I have to admit until I just looked at the graphs I hadn't realised just how wrong it was - I'd assumed the price had fallen significantly when in fact it hasn't (after the initial correction when the person trying to pump the price gave up).

Oh - and even if the 'volatility' WAS real it still wouldn't matter for comparisons anyway.  As if MINING dropped to a lot cheaper then SOME of those investing would realise they could sell their BFM, buy MINING and get the same returns with cash left in their wallet : and that would bring the 'volatility' over to BFM anyway.  Hell ,I've even seen at least one ISSUER of a PMB sell more of their own shares then buy some MINING.

Strange, because I updated the comparison yesterday to include DMS.Mining. Can it be that your conclusion is based on the assumption that you can read my mind, perhaps?


I was actually quite fine with comparing with TAT.VM also when it was cheaper than BFMines, if you remember.


The only thing of any consequence I am unwilling to predict is difficulty evolution (and by extension profitability). I haven't seen your predictions about what your TAT.VM investors will get in six months either, but you're bitching and moaning that I won't predict the same. That's a bit hipocritical, no?

I have, however, provided extensive research material for investors to allow them to make informed decisions. I have summarized what we know will arrive and made very clear what I don't know, such as when hardware providers will deliver. I have repeatedly warned people about dangers. I have excluded beneficial factors about BFMines when comparing it to yours to give you an advantage.

What I have not done, however, is question your integrity, honesty, or best intent. I'm slightly saddened to see that you're attacking me on a personal level, though, rather than providing any factual arguments.

You are using realistic as if it didn't have an aspect of predicting the future by the herd. I don't find that comforting.

My main argument for not comparing against DMS.Mining is that it has a higher volatility caused by shifts in difficulty. This is completely rrelevant for people who buy for dividends only and intends to hold on until the contracts or funds close.

However, for those that want the added security of being able to sell all of parts of their assets at their leisure, DMS.Mining has an extra exposure because in a panic, people tend to extrapolate the future from a shorter and shorter period. If you wander around the board, you'll already find people predicting that in five years, we'll have ASIC miners based on 0.5nm chips and that it's perfectly reasonable to assume we'll be investing $1.2 billion dollars in ASIC miners the next twelve months.

The three assets in question yield more than 200% if difficulty did not increase. Of course the prices take a future difficulty increase into account. Anything else would be absolutely madness.

My argument is and has been that people who want to have the added certainty of not being forced by the herd's mentality has an added risk with DMS.Mining.

Your argument about the benefit is only valid as long as difficulty rises; if difficulty flattened out today or friedcat said "Screw this, I'm going into porn", prices for all the assets, DMS.Mining included, would shoot through the roof, which would be very bad if investors wanted to buy more.

okay i c!

so about 0,008 BTC / SELLING share   + Winnings from the investment.

Correct?
