It's not about fixing anything. It's about those in power holding onto power and expanding that power. They'll drive us right off the cliff, blame it on anyone but themselves, and then offer up a solution that benefits them. This playbook is used so often in politics it should be obvious to everyone by now. Create a crisis and then confiscate more money & power to "fix it".

I don't understand why a country would deliberately rob their people of savings like that. Do they tuly think this will be better for them? Nope. Their economy like the US economy is based on credit(debt). So to encourage people to spend they discourage people from saving through the hidden inflation tax. Debt greater than previous debt is needed to sustain the economy. Cash for clunkers anyone?

I was 0-4 in PP disputes before I kissed eBay buh bye. They pretty much just take the money from the seller and give it to the buyer by default. When asked how they were going to secure my item back from the buyer they said "we don't handle that stuff". ![Angry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/angry.gif) Now I just say no to PP early and often.

You're not off by 6 or 7% in the example I cited, you're off by 24.98%, how is that better? I've absolutely no idea how you came up with an APY of 12.34% for my company(bASIC-MINING), but it's never been anywhere near that low, not even for a day. Mind showing your math on that? You do realize that dividend is daily not weekly correct?
Again 90d data is worthless at this time because BTC-TC is too new. ESECURITY was the first asset traded on BTC-TC and it's first dividend was on 12-01-12. Six months from now going the lazy route and just picking the number off the Dividend tab on BTC-TC may be fine, but right now you have to do some actual math to come up with yields that aren't fairy tales.

That's another valid point. Statistics are statistics -- a snapshot in time -- and don't necessarily reflect "right now". On the numbers I posted I listed January 23rd, a couple of days ago. How can you know if there wasn't some breaking news that raised or lowered the expected value of a company? Unless there's a newswire and a rule to report material information you cannot.
Actually as an aside GLBSE was about to implement a newswire for it's securities, and this is one area where BitFunder is clearly ahead of the competition. It has a newswire. It is for reasons like this that I've chosen to list my securities exclusively on BitFunder. I feel it keeps issuers honest. If something were to happen to a security on BitFunder and the issuer didn't disclose it, it would be tantamount to fraud. I know it's not seen that way now, but it will be soon. There needs to be a newswire for any exchange IMO. Come on man. LTC-MINING, SYNERGY, & COGNITIVE are excellent companies, but you have to exclude the balloon payments made when they were relisted on BTC-TC in your math...unless of course you think burnside will be paying out 43.501BTC every other week? Actual APY on LTC-MINING based on last dividend was 2.153BTC/1000=0.002153BTC/share / 12(average days between dividends) = 0.00017942BTC/day / .37(7dAvg) = 0.04849099% daily yield * 365 days = 17.69921171% APY. Your math is way off on several assets because you didn't exclude one time payments...among other problems.

Please don't use those numbers up there ^ as they're very misleading for several companies. Many(most) companies haven't been around for 90 days as BTC-TC is still pretty young. Also many GLBSE refugee companies distributed balloon dividends upon being relisted at BTC-TC which also horribly skews those numbers. You're better off creating your own spreadsheet to track this information. bASIC-MINING's current APY is 22.5003087% not sure how it was calculated above. Last daily dividend was 0.29415609 BTC paid to 1446 shares which at .34/share equates to a daily yield of 0.0616447%. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArTS7AD--9SWdDNfb0lRNElqS1k1eGRoWEw2TGM4NlE#gid=0

It's not about being mean or being nice. Cops literally don't give a sh1t about theft here, that's what guns are for.
Dave seems to be going through and refunding CC payments today, my status and others have been changed to refunded. Now for the BTC portion.

Adventure isn't the word I'd use to describe it, but I'm glad you're not taking things too seriously.

Just trying to initiate a panic stampede. <yawn>
I'd rather be a buyer than a seller at this level.

Thanks. I just noted they've also changed my status to refunded and included the same notice. I was going to initiate a chargeback(MC) on Monday if the situation hadn't resolved by then. This is just the payment for a 27to54 upgrade however. I've received no word on the larger BTC portion of the order. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Apparently the mere threat of a chargeback is enough. Horrible communication again as I've still received nothing but the order status has been changed to this: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv718%2Ftimonex%2FOrder1680_zpsd5e09b7b.jpg&t=663&c=jUEx6-N_1LdrRA) Still no word on the larger BTC portion of the order. The $30 shipping charge was refunded previously.
