To give everyone an advance heads-up, it looks like the difficulty will change on Saturday after Noon, meaning that the report and SELL dividend will be issued on Sunday. I have an engagement that I cannot miss for most of Sunday, so the dividend (both MINE and SELL) and the report will be tentatively scheduled for 9PM Eastern on Sunday.

I do apologize for the change in schedule, but life does indeed get in the way at times. I'll just hope (along with SELL holders) that the difficulty continues to increase and the change will instead happen Friday, leading to a div instead being issued Saturday.

Decease of Havelock? jk. Decrease vs. Increase, yes. Decrease seems highly unlikely right now but still what are the numbers? What if difficulty increases by, say, 16% everytime? What if it this increase decreases by 1% everytime and so on. Lively examples would be helpful!

I saw that, it's getting up there! The probability of the end-game via decease versus the probability of end-game via increase, you mean?

Sell dividend is gonna be better this time around
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty: 20% and rising.

Could someone elaborate on the probability of both the exit scenarios a little? The more math the better!

Thanks - average time is probably a few hours, depending on what time of day it is (and/or if I'm sleeping, of course). I have just cleared all buy-backs; I transfer the funds by actually issuing shares of SELL and buying them back for the NAV/U * 98% (since Havelock doesn't have a direct BTC transfer tool).

hey TS - what's the average wait between transferring MINE/SELL to you and you logging in and transferring the funds?

EDit (reference) - talking about converting to EXCH shares for buyback

cool fund, btw.

PHEW.

SELL Div 2 Paid; Putting back up EXCH ask now.

So, a user transferred 124 shares to be bought back at 1140AM, after I had already issued the report and scheduled the dividends.

This results in an increase to the NAV/U because the shares are bought back for 98% of NAV/U, meaning that the SELL div was slightly underpaid.

I've re-generated the report here; the short version is that the SELL div was underpaid by 1718 satoshis (.00001718 BTC) per share. This isn't much per share (less than 1% of the SELL div that was issued), but it does add up across nearly 9,000 shares.

I'm going to issue a second dividend for SELL today, for .00001718, to be paid at 1PM. Those that have already sold their SELL shares will not receive this dividend, as it will go to current holders of SELL. I apologize to those who will miss out on this, but it is a miniscule per-share amount and I will take steps in the future to ensure that this does not happen again.

In the future, all buy-backs will be halted at 11AM on the date that SELL Dividends will be paid.


I will re-enable the EXCH ask after the new SELL div is paid to ensure that no new shares are paid the dividend.

You'll notice that I calculate the new Dividend to eight digits and multiply that times 200 Days to get the new Reserve. Those of you that did your own calculations may come up with a slightly different number if you chose not to round or to round elsewhere.

Divs were paid on time - one user sent back shares to be bought-back at 1140AM and I didn't see it until now. I should have made this more clear, but 11AM should be the cut off for these transactions.

It will be in the future; let me re-run the calculations and see what needs to be done.
