Can anyone use the site???

SHHHHH you are letting the cat out of the bag!!!   

Sidenote: ASICMINER-PT on btct.co surpassed Bitstamp and BTC-E yesterday in terms of daily Bitcoin volume.

Website down - no divs seen yet...

Can't wait for the payout, so the dividends can go right back into shares 

Site having issues again right now. Good luck with the fix burnside.

back up , still no divs yet :p, no rush now anyway as the gf has gone to sleep.
Hopefully she sees her first tomorrow, she loved the idea of paid for mining hosting once I explained what the shares actually were and as happy to pay up to 2 btc per share when buying.

crap, ~2.5 btc/ share.

edit:


Why is this ? hit target amount of users ?

I have a friend wanting to use the service

At this moment, I would still like to see ~2BTC per share (pipe dream), but I really feel these will soon be somewhere between 7-10BTC per as hype grows.  I'd like to scrape up as many PT's and micro PT's as possible before the rest of the bitcoin world discovers these assets in full.  Going off on a tangent, considering the new user base involvement, I estimate it takes a newbie 6-8 weeks to learn enough (albeit small), obtain BTC, grow a pair when it comes to risk, and become aware of ASICMiner shares and other assets available, before a surge in purchasing. 

I figure this, news spread like wildfire on April 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th.  As an average person, I am guessing a week or so to sift through the news headings and gain an impression.  Another week of following, and during that week, on the 17th the market begins to recover and correct.  Now the new user is intrigued, and begins the long process of getting fiat into the exchanges (two weeks, May 5th, roughly, they are in).  First BTC purchases are made (now gaining newbie status in the world of bitcoin), and then a lull for the new user as they read more and more on the forums, starting in the speculation subforum as many do and google.  They then begin to look into day trading, and attempt to learn as much as possible from the considerable amount of posts and information out there.  They either enjoy the small profits they obtain and continue trading, or lose out on small trades and rethink their process. Daytrading will then lead to discovery outside of the speculation forum as the user attempts to expand their awareness of Bitcoin.  They then begin to find btct.co, bitfunder and havelock, some transfer coin right away, others wait and research for a further week +\-. 

Sorry for the synopsis, but in short starting at the correction, 6-8 weeks out puts us at the 29th to the 12th, and I think we will see the bubble(?) of these shares to my estimated 7-10BTC per.  So hold!  Just my 2BTC

same here, still on the positive side last time there was a big DDoS agains btctc the price of ASICMINER-PT went up, maybe we will see the same again.

Appears to be down again, is the site running on Windows NT?   

Yeah, there are a lot of redundancy improvements we'll be able to make with improved cash flow.  If the volume we've seen this month holds up, I don't see any reason we couldn't build out redundancy at the app server, caching, and db layers.  (That's exactly the sort of thing I do all day at work.)

Cheers.

You must actually hold shares when the asset operator distributes dividends.

Thanks again.

Anyone know what time dividends are handed out by freidcat on wednesday?

If I were to sell my shares on btct after freidcat releases, but before burnside distributes, would I get the dividends or would the buyer get them? Just curious 

The site is back up for me too, but the fact remains it was down for 30+ mins. This is bothersome when it is a site where people's Bitcoins (and securities) are circulating. Burnside, thank you for making your site overly secure, there is no cutting costs for that + I look forward to BTC-TC having its uptime / ability to withstand load increase too.

Yep its up

Seems to be working fine for me now

Sorry, that DDOS message on the front page is a week old message hence my speculation it was just load.

Hold down power button, wait 5 seconds, listen for the fans to spin down, press button, enjoy web surfing
