Should we add the new micro-share passthroughs in this thread?
Is there more than the TAT.ASICMINER on bitfunder? Ill add them once i know all of them.
Well, for those that prefer convenience over slow loading times and awkward third parties holding your money, there's one over on BTCT too.

So thats the only both securities that trade AM-Shares in parts?
I cant see a big difference in loading time. I load up the asicminer-pts occasionally and its looks more like btc-tc takes 1-2 seconds longer until the site is loaded fully. But its not a big difference at all.
Regarding the third party holding bitcoins... i didnt put this into the list because its done for security. bitfunder didnt want to risk holding bitcoins at their own website so they use weexchange that can put all their power to create a secure website. Im not sure which approach leads to more security at the end. btctc or bitfunders way...
OT, but your coins are just on weexchange instead of bitfunder and weexchange == ukyo == bitfunder. Kind of like if I required you to keep your coins on bitfloor to use btc-tc. Your coins are still on a site, on the internet, exposed to third party risk.
Arguing that any hacks on bitfunder would have reduced effect is also moot. It just adds one step to the withdraw process once your hack has successfully ratcheted up your share count or balance. (hack site, withdraw to weexchange, withdraw to local wallet.)
The weexchange requirement is more a marketing thing than a security thing.
I was of the impression that the coins are only virtually at bitfunder but in reality weexchange is keeping them. So that weexchange can focus in being safe and bitfunder doesnt have to take the risk to keep them. Now im not sure whats better. But thats the reason why i didnt add it in the list. I dont know if the approach of btctc is better than the one bitfunder has. I cant judge.
