So I guess div could go lower if BTC stays at this level Sad

If the investment vehicle being used continues to pay consistently, and the fiat-USD conversion stays consistent, the dividend will stay consistent. The price people are willing to sell the bond for is irrelevant, because it doesn't change the initial amount invested. When new bonds are issued, they are issued at .1, so no new bonds are being issued, but new bonds aren't necessary to maintain the dividend (except in a ponzi, but opinions about that are not relevant to how this bond allegedly works). The benefit to new bonds before was that they were buying more USD because the conversion rate was going up. The bond could stay this low and the dividend could come back up if the investment vehicle continues to pay consistently and the fiat-BTC conversion rate drops. Technically, the dividend could go up if the investment vehicly paid less while the fiat-USD rate dropped more, or it could go down while the investment vehicle pays more if the fiat-USD rate climbs as well.

Summary: The fiat-BTC conversion rate staying consistent would remove it as a factor on dividend rates, not lower them.

Bitcoin is antisemitic

This is the cancer killing bitcoin.

Never invest in a Ponzi more than you can afford to lose (and be ready to run fast as hell at the first alarm bell).
But yes: All of us should learn to require lots of guarantees before entering any trade, but this would probably slow the BTC economy to a standstill.

It doesnt help when "low risk funds" you are invested in go and buy this shit. That happened to me with pirate now its happening again with this ponzi. Im pretty disillusioned at this point.

At 0.5 % per day, this is still the highest dividends on the GLBSE.

Really? Take a look at BIF.1YR.LOAN, they provide 4%/wk, while OBSIHRPT provide (100.5%^7)-1 (3.553%/wk).

Perhaps, the new "maybe ponzi" WIT offer 0.2~1.2%. But with the unknowns of HRPT which they may offer 0.2-0.5%, the price would likely to fluctuate greatly. Perhaps it's likely to go 0% in not a long time

Take your own risk.

Actually, the latest price is .085, so if you buy at that price you actually get 4.1% per week. I suppose I should have said "HRPT is still one of the highest dividends on the GLBSE."

If dividend was reduced by 50%, why is anyone willing to pay more than 1/2 of the IPO price for this?
Was the risk reduced?
If last weekends dump of new shares failed (no buyers at that price), can you keep up the reduced div payments?
I think one of the most important question is: "Did the "debt collector business" paid you the weekly dividends or was it automatically reinvested into "building the location?"

Is there any chance of dividends getting back up to 1%/day? (Although I'm not complaining about .5%/day, that's still pretty good.)

Our current avg conversion rate is in the very low $11's. If BTC prices drop below that, 1% is achievable. I was using new sales to help move up the avg conversion rate, but the market seems to be saturated now, so it will take reduced coupons to attempt this.

If BTC prices continue their slow climb, expect further reductions in coupon rate, as I can no longer adjust our avg conversion rate quickly via new sales.

We should see 0.5% for the next 4-5 days, but if next Friday's payment is as anemic as the last two, coupon rates will drop further. Consider this notice that the "Estimated Minimum Daily Payout" may be reduced if we continue to be battered by this "perfect storm" of unfortunate circumstances.

So I guess div could go lower if BTC stays at this level Sad

Good point. Also, dividends are not everything, the total return is not good for people who bought at .105, since the share price is dropping.

At this point Id be more concerned about getting your principal back rather than coupon payments

Didn't Nefario promise to allow shorting? From what i remember, it should be implemented by now.

Today's daily coupon has been paid @ 1% of IPO price.

Thank you.

I went to try and sell out some of my HRPT before the weekend, and I noticed that someone was trying to sell over 10,000 shares at or below 0.1.

o_O

I placed some asks but wow, no one is buying. I would have thought people would step in like mad and buy a few shares but I guess someone knows something I don't :/

ROFL!

If this is a ponzi scheme, this makes sense. Lowering the payout right now will limit his total loss in the case that the price keeps plummeting, and he can no longer sell bonds. Just saying.

Looks like we're on a slow climb in price again, which will eventually erode the buffer enough that without new sales & BTC price retargeting the coupon will drop.
Edit: I have now edited the OP to reflect this.

'eventually' didn't take long to arrive.
