Topic: Deprived's dissappearance & CIPHERMINE.B1 (Read 1510 times)

Dear All,

I've been contacted by several people asking if I know where Deprived has gone; he's been quiet for 2+ weeks now, which is somewhat unlike him. I was in regular email contact with him before my honeymoon but have not had contact from him via email since the 15th Oct.

I have been asked what would happen to DMS's CIPHERMINE.B1 holding in the event of his disappearance. Unfortunately we do need security issuers' cooperation to reinstate securities on the planned new exchange (I'll have more on that this weekend btw), since we need their shareholder report .csv files.

The last time we spoke, Deprived appeared to remain committed to participating in the new exchange, not just as an issuer but also as a founding investor and contributor. I think it highly unlikely he has done a runner.

I could freeze dividends on DMS's CIPHERMINE.B1 bond shares in theory though I'm not sure what we could do beyond that if something bad has happened. Regardless, the contract is between CipherMine and Deprived rather than DMS shareholders (who we have no record of anyway).

It is a tricky situation. Let's just hope that it is nothing serious and he'll be back soon!

Kate.

I'm back.

Sorry for the lack of communication recently - I only intended to be away for a few days but it ended up being a fortnight.  As I hadn't intended to be away long I didn't have my laptop etc with me (and 3G coverage was terrible for the android).

Got a bunch of things to catch up on (including DMS) - will make a longer post later tonight or tomorrow.  Here's the main points:

All funds remain intact and untouched (the BTC address holding the main funds was listed earlier in the thread and hasn't changed)

No dividends will be paid yet for a few reasons:

DMS.SELLING can't have dividends paid until Ciphermine.B1 is liquid - at present those have an effective value well below face value.
I have a few mails from people whose BTC addresses were inputs.io addresses.  If I want to pay dividends direct then those would need to be fixed first (haven't even read up on the news yet but one of my mails says TF was either hacked or pretending to be hacked and stole the funds).
Some people haven't got BTC addresses listed from BTC-TC (only a few).  As soon as I make a dividend payment to some but not all investors it makes it a nightmare to relist - as the shares are no longer fungible until all have received same dividends.

I've skimmed though my emails (which includes copies of all PMs to this board) and will now start answering the ones that need a speedy response.

fligen, if you know who Deprived is, could you try to contact him? Phone call or something?

I think that freezing the CIPHERMINE.B1 dividends woodrake suggested is a good idea.
