I have recently started dabbling in Bitcoin stocks. Today alone I made over one whole Bitcoin per share on 10 shares of basic-mining stock. I also control hundred coins for another friend and I have some of them put into asic-miner and I have made claims in a week for him. Good luck I hope you guys are investing!

Is there a n00b guide for this?  I only see people selling shares for ASIC-Miner and I don't have 3BTC yet...

I invest in the NYSE so I am interested in getting some shares of some reputable btc mining companies (do they exist)?

The best place to start IMO for things like this

I always get a bit baffled by stocks sometimes in any economy, what would anyone recommend in Bitcoins at least as the minimum to make some money? I'm thinking in terms of dividends of course, the returns definitely look nice.

Where's the, not yet option? :D

Very nice.  What was timeline to get from 10 to 23?  And do you mind sharing what you invested in?

The TAT.ASICMINER shares are a good place to start and cheap enough for pretty much anyone to get into, the prices are fairly solid and the dividends are pretty good.  A few days of gpu mining in a pool will net you a share which is enough to start getting some dividends.

Outside of that just use your general intuition, have a look at how trustworthy a share is, what the % return is.  Make a decision and the risk yourself and then decide if you want to go into it or not.

nice quote from btct.co lol ~ :D

BTC Trading Corp (BTC-TC) is a fictional stock market simulation game for educational and entertainment purposes...

I have about .35btc to roll with on btc-tc. You think I can make a bit of profit from it?

bitfunder.com
btct.co

are the most active btc stock exchange.  Most recent div for 1 share of asicminer is 0.018btc. I am curious what share is OP holding that could give him one coin over 10 shares?

looks like you need 5 BTC in your account to start your own pos "virtual" security ~ anyone wanna colab? :D
peace

I have a question to OP:
are you going to hold bASIC-Miner long term or just for shorter speculative gain?

My real question I wanted to ask bASIC management in their corresponding thread, but since I'm noob, only here:

bASIC:
hashing power is around 73 Ghash/sec
share price now 1.11 BTC
details from btct.co Shares: Outstanding 5000 / 100000 Issued


ASICMINER:
hashing power is around 32000 Ghash/sec
share price now 2.95 BTC
details from btct.co Shares: Outstanding 23195 / 400000 Issued

If you do some math, then its clear that bASIC is slightly over evaluated if you compare with ASICMINER.
I am not proponent of ASICMINER, though I have some shares.

But what I wanna ask is: how do you evaluate stocks?

As I read the replies to this post I am enlightened to see that there are as many people as there are investing. I am happy that I made the money I did overnight just from having my coins invested.

its just a game ..musical chairs lol

sweet, i'll have to look into this

interesting place to trade and gamble ;)

Be careful with AISCminer stock. I most certainly would not buy it right now.

BFL and Avalon are going to be shipping in mass and I don't see it to be possible for ASICminer to continue to get 20%+ of all blocks. The game is about to chance and ASICminer's dividend and stock price will most likely suffer.

Your lucky a large percentage of those who invest in these kind of stocks lose out.

 how do you evaluate stocks? >>

well first you have to find REAL stocks these sites are mere games, weak simulations of a stock exchange.

In terms of dividende I think it's TAT.VIRTUALMINE and DMS.MINING at the moment with 0.63-0.78 % return per day at current prices and difficulty.

totally wish id got into this earlier. theres some money to be make on stocks with the prices varying so quickly on BTC

Current prices and difficulty can be deceptive. I recommend reading the last few pages of these two threads before investing in any "mining bonds".

I have only been involved for a few months and its been a nice return..Its never too late to play the game:)

I started to read the negative things that were said about mining bonds before I invested and if I would have followed the advice of the posts I read then I would still be wishing I would have tried and not been about 20 coins ahead of the investment. So I guess skeptics are always going to be skeptics and the people who take risks are always going to be driving around blasting Snoop singing "I got my mind on my money and my money on my mind"

Hmm interesting

Yup. Seems like some people are really good at this stuff; unlike me.

can i naked short these pos shares
?..thanks

Never knew that

This is a really interesting idea, actually. I had no idea it existed. Wish bitcoins were still $12 :X

The problem I have seen with 'perpetual mining 'bonds'' is that they have a fixed hash rate per share. They will perform well at first (ie now) but there is literally no way to maintain the dividends as difficulty increases which reduces the price that other people are willing to pay for that share.
I have seen many 'bonds' listed without clear information on how the initial investment could be repaid trading at above the face value.
It's really important to read everything you can at this stage and if there is something you don't understand, look up the term or ask someone.
I am still in this learning stage (hence this shameless newbie post!).

guys, please perform your own due diligence before jumping into any investmens.
caveat emptor.

you can rarely know 100% that a stock will rise and when it will rise aswell.

I myself think that most of the people that recommand buying stocks or investing in them are people who want to increase the price before they sell them off.

but alot which has been said here is true TAT.ASICMINER ASICMINER-PT are good stocks to invest in .
ASICMINER-PT 3 / 3.1 up to 3.4 in two days i think ?
TAT.ASICMINER 0.0295 up tp 0.0335 in two days.
