Hi Everyone, we've decided to launch our own S.DICE passthru fund on https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=SDICE to allow others to invest in S.DICE without the need to spend 30BTC to setup an account on mpex (and figure out all the GPG complexities) We have a public offering of 500 units (for 50000 shares) live right now, and will issue more if demand is there. 1 unit of our fund = 100 shares listed on mpex. We'll pay dividends of 95% of whatever mpex pays us. Cheers, James Any proof of this? Sorry what kind of proof are you looking for? That the fund at havelock investments exists and is legit? Or that we actually own the shares of S.DICE on MPEX on behalf of our investors? Or something else? Cheers, James |

Hi, thanks for the feedback! The intent of the 95% being revisited every three months was to allow it to possibly be increased in favour of investors, not decreased. I should have been more clear on that. Ill update the description on the site shortly!
I've also got another update to post regarding the fund.. It'll go up shortly!
Cheers,
James
While you are on it please make the units (100 shares) convertible to actual shares. Then customers have the option to switch to that if MPEX ever switches to a pricing structure the customer can agree with (my opinion: MPEX is retarded, PGP is not a show stopper for me paying 30 BTC for an account is) or S.DICE sells shares on another exchange as well (May be a ADR on NASDAQ in a couple of years  ). Interesting idea! Ill take a look into that and work out some numbers. Doing a conversion like that (if even possible with mpex) would be a manual process so there'd likely have to be a fee associated with it. |

Theirs more S.DICE Shares to be bought on havelockinvestments.com but they are kinda over priced.... 0.48BTC for 1 unit (which represents 95 S.DICE shares) ... damn do i hit the buy button  Not quite overpriced. 0.0048 is the largest wall on MPEx with 335k shares being sold...anything under that is sub 5,000 shares. At 0.48BTC a share, we're purchasing essentially everything under the .0048 mark and some of the .0048 (which is why the offering price is now .48 BTC per 100 shares). well 1 unit = 100 shares that pay 95% of wtv MPEx pays the fund... and the lil bit about this 95% being reviewed ever 3 months is kinda scary I would like them to removed that and agree to give us at least 95% or 90% forever? they make ~5% profit on the sell of the shares because they are at a slightly higher rate and they make 5% off ever dividend that's fine, that's the cost of the pass through... but can't they agree to have that 95% fixed in stone?

user lightbox to purchase two bfl singles for $500 usd each shipped at current bitcoin exchange of 13.41000 (mtgoxlast) = 74.57 btc plan is to use Kluge's escrow offer from this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120218.0 (will be contacting to confirm the offer stands and get everything moving after lightbox confirms this post) Agreed (for purpose of escrow) 2x BFL FPGA Singles 2x USB cables NO POWER supplies/cables This all looks fine to me. I talked to camolist, just need confirmation from both on dates. I generally hold escrow up to 28 days before returning BTC to buyer unless reasonable evidence can be provided by seller to either extend that date or contest what the buyer's claiming. More details can be found @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=120218My sheets have been updated @ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0Ao892S4MOoDZdFFTc0tFbWVxUTZFVzVOMWxzV3pkclE&output=htmlEscrow can be held at 1NswwmkJHNjDG2RstuD4Rm7zH79ysaQASh (I should have a updated version of Armory with coin control by then, so users should now expect funds not to move from that receiving address except when escrow is released or refunded). Cheers. Sending coins now! He's going to ship Wednesday for Friday delivery! Confirmed received. Updated spreadsheet. Cheers. Shipment received! Singles up and running. Kludge, you can release the escrow to camolist. Thanks! Cheers! |

Hello,
My name is Natalie and I am responsible for our customer support. Due to insufficient CAD on our account at the moment, we are unable to send CAD withdrawals and today is a public holiday in Japan. We will be working on having the conversion done after the long weekend to have enough CAD in order to process your withdrawal. Our apologies once again for the delay and inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your patience while we are working to resolve this matter.
I also have a CAD withdraw pending since November 4th (almost 3 weeks), the OP has been pending since October 23rd. (now exactly 1 month!) What confidence do we have that we will be able to withdraw with CAD in the future? What is your "regular" estimated processing times for CAD withdraws? A one day public holiday in Japan doesnt mean that there wasnt 4 other weeks that this order could have been processed. Every time I have contacted support (and I suspect the OP too) its always the same templated reply "we are waiting for the bank to process", now we know that our requests arent even being investigated by support, since when this was finally was, your realized you "didnt have the money"... If it is routinely going to take between 2 and 4+ weeks to get a withdraw processed, then that should be clearly stated on the withdraw page so customers know what to expect. If you "dont have the money" in the right currency, then GET IT! we pay MtGox enough in fees (especially on the non-matching currency order fills) that if you offer a service (such as trading and withdrawing in CAD) then we SHOULD BE ABLE TO within reasonable expectations unless explicitly stated otherwise. In this case... knowing that CAD isnt a high volume currency on MtGox, i think a "reasonable expectation" should be that CAD orders are processed within 5-7 business days of being requested. This gives MtGox enough time to move money between banks, or between currencies should they have to. Anyways, just my $0.02 I guess i should email support and see where my Nov 4th withdraw is too. |

I'm having the exact same problem here on 0.7.1 >bitcoind move fromaccount toaccount 2 just hangs the RPC, and blocks all other RPC commands i dont know if the "connection timeout" right after the "method=move" in the logs is from the move, or just from all the other stuff its doing (probably the later) debug.log shows: ThreadRPCServer method=move connection timeout but my only way to recover from this is 1) "bitcoind stop" 2) wait for the debug log to be pretty much done, just waiting on the ThreadRPCServer 3) kill -9 <pid of bitcoind> 4) bitcoind -daemon Nothing fishy going on at all, its a pretty empty wallet, just put some stuff in it to test a web-app im working on.... this makes the web-app completely die as well, as it doesnt even throw an exception in PHP, it just sits there waiting forever, until the php script times out. Any suggestions?! |

Hey, greenbong, did your BTC come through?-
Just noticed this thread, sorry i dont watch the forums as closely as i should. As someone else already mentioned, sometimes payments made over the weekend dont appear in our bank account until monday morning, so thats the earliest anyone should expect to receive coins for orders placed over the weekend. _sometimes_ the deposits do appear sooner, and _sometimes_ (if someone is around) we process orders over the weekend, but it shouldnt be expected or relied on... we're a real business, in a real office, that holds regular offices hours.. mon-fri 9-6 there's usually someone in the office. Cheers, James |

Fair prices, good service, seems secure. Used them, will use again.
But a tip... invest in a better, more professional looking website, its a must now in 2012... plus, good looking and professional looking websites give a "trustworthy" feel to any site. (I know, a scamming site can just as well be good looking, but psychology doesnt agree :p)
the www.cavirtex.com website was updated today! fresh new design. |

The IPO has been active for two hours, and a little bit over half of the units are gone.
Sorry for not keeping a good watch on this forum thread, we have, indeed, been focusing on actually running the mining operation and maximizing profits I was coming here to post that the public offering today has just under half the units remaining, but you beat me to it, thanks! We have also just released our September Financial Statements, as well as Quarterly Q3 Statements We have also posted an update regarding our move to ASICs Thanks for your interest in Havelock Investments! Cheers, James |

Although the mining bonds are not in their best moments right now, a 4.34% interest rate per month seems a bit low, at least for me.
This differs from a bond type offering... we are not paying out 100% of the revenue (or even 90%).. we are aiming to pay out approximately 50% of the revenue, and use the other 50% towards reinvestment in the fund itself. So by simply owning units of the fund, you take advantage of us managing the equipment AND using some of the revenue generated to buy MORE equipment, without having to dilute the fund by issuing more units. By doing this we hope to counter the affects of rising difficulty, so we can keep our dividend consistently high. Cheers |

Is the IPO over? It isn't listed on the "Current And Upcoming IPO's" page.
Does that mean all 125 units have been bought up?
The original IPO has ended, but we launched a new (much smaller) one today. There are 40 of 50 units left from the current IPO, and it should be listed on the current/upcoming IPO page (checking... yup!) We're expecting shipments of new equipment throughout the next few weeks, so we'll slowly be releasing new public offerings as soon as the equipment is ready immediately available to be purchased by the fund. There's also other big news coming soon (in the next day or two!)... stay tuned! James |
