@bixcoin, as stated in detail earlier in this thread, I paid about €150 for the docs, once that was done I was immediately paid all back dividends from 2012 10 08 up to my claim of 2013 02 25 which was 245 btc on 1,530 shares (bought mostly for between 1 & 1.5 btc), I then took up gigavps's recommendation to make an early upgrade to teramining which cost me 382.50 btc for 22,950 shares & this stopped the dividend payments from gigamining, due to BFL delay with shipping ASICs everything seems to be on hold but Gigavps has stated on March 25th that he will compensate all those who have missed dividends due to taking his early upgrade path, so far I estimate that I'm owed over 40 btc up to next Monday.
I think that he should abandon the, obviously failed, early upgrade plan & right now just pay out everyone's gigamining dividends up to date & until BFL deliver as he is still mining with this equipment we bought for him (in my case nearly 7 week's worth), in order to show some goodwill & fairness to those who have financed his ongoing operations, or it just feels like yet another exploitation of investors by
smart operators in the mining field, don't even ask me about Youchdog's Bitcoin Mining Company.
bixcoin thanks for asking, in summary I am down an additional 137.50 btc that I gave to gigavps for the upgrade to teramining (along with the 245 btc back dividends that I returned to him to go towards the upgrade cost), plus the time & cost of the claim, plus about 40 btc owed in dividends from gigamining due to the failed early switch scheme, so overall it's not really working out so great for me atm.
137.50 + 40 btc = 177.50 btc @ $120 = $21,300
or actually 382.50 + 40 btc = 422.50 @ $120 = $50,700
