Havelock Investments has received full buyout BTC for SDICE shares. Just waiting to transfer to local wallet before pushing the buyback out... should be done in the next 15-30 minutes.

Not sure who or why, but somebody just bought up ~430BTC worth of SDICE on havelock. (1901 shares)
Somethings up?
I find that Havelock is now moraly obliged to make public who made this trade. This stinks! Havelock will not disclose _who_ this trade was, and as far as I know, there was no insider knowledge used. It was, infact, as RationalSpeculator speculated:
I understand this looks bullish on havelock as such large buys are very rare indeed.
However, those were likely the same shares that were also on offer on mpex (190,000) last week for 0.0028 and got lowered a few days ago to 0.0025, then likely the one that had bid open for 300,000 shares at 0.0020 snatched them as his bid has been removed. Since on mpex there have been around 5 blocks of 1 million shares traded the past month this is not an exceptional large trade.
A user on havelock with significant holdings in SDICE contacted havelock to arrange a way to sell their shares on MPEX without crashing the price on havelock. I view this as a responsible move on their part. Havelock listed the sale on their behalf on MPEX, which stayed on the books for about a week before the seller agreed to lower the price, and it was finally filled on MPEX. Havelock then bought up the shares on Havelock (which the seller listed on the open orderbook), removing them from the total outstanding shares. If there was insider trading, it wouldn't have been on the havelock side... as the user that sold those shares would have profited much more if they had held them an extra few days for this announcement. Total outstanding shares on Havelock is now: 12782 Shares in Havelock's MPEX account: S.DICE x 1`278`200 |

I just wanted to post here to confirm for everyone, that bitcointalk user "havelock" is, indeed, our account. Mitchell will usually be posting from the Havelock account, while I'll likely be posting from the "lightbox" account.
Cheers,
James

Hi everyone, just wanted to make an official post here, to thank everyone in the community for their questions and concerns regarding the PHM IPO. We are working with PHM now to refine the details and will re-announce soon.
Just so everyone is clear -- We do perform very extensive due diligence on our end before listing an asset. We still turn down/reject many, many more asset requests than we approve. For any that we do decide to list, you can be assured we have worked with the fund manager for at minimum several weeks (sometimes much longer) before launching. We never rush into any asset listings. That said, everyone should still perform their own due diligence before making any investment (this applies to bitcoin-world, and real-world), so it is very encouraging to see this type of constructive discussion occurring.
Stay tuned, a more refined and detailed PHM IPO announcement is in the works.
Cheers
James

Today I've added support to keep track of your Havelock Invesments balance and securities to CryptFolio ( thread). This helps you keep track of your securities' values over time, and generates reports (such as your overall USD net worth). CryptFolio will also start tracking historical data for securities as well. Interesting, but I want to warn people to be careful with the data they give to 3rd Party sites. Definitely be careful -- create an API key that has READ ONLY access (ie, check the boxes to give permission to your balance and portfolio, but nothing else) to provide to 3rd party sites like cryptfolio. They dont need any sort of deposit/withdrawal/trade access |

Anyone else having a deposit not showing up on Havelock in a timely fashion? A mining fund did a deposit on sunday. Transaction has a couple hundred confirmations, my receiving address is correct. Any reason why it might not have arrived in my havelock account yet? All previous deposits were picked up in a fast and timely manner. I can imagine there is some backlog work due to the DDOS-ing of late, but deposits not arriving is kinda scary to me. And while I post this, it appears. Still curious about the delay, cause normally it never takes over 30 hours.  Please email details of your deposit to info@havelockinvestments.com so we can investigate. Indeed it should not take that long. Deposits are handled automatically so DDOS shouldn't have affected the deposits once the site was back up (since Thursday evening) James |

By promoting ISPs, that are transparent, exchanges will be helping this BTC community.
ISPs that have chosen to become protective legalized buckets of stupidity, seem to be the main body of ISPs out there. I can remember the days of copper POTS lines and Win NT, when life was better.
Please give us more info about your ISP, because in the end, that is one of the main reasons to bother investing coin. No, I do not trust the IT guys when they say "just wait" because that's a new IT mentality, that sucks, and which has been propagated by the current management of IT in America, who are unworthy of their jobs and paychecks.
ISP freedom, is 100% part of bitcoin's chances of survival. This means that when your exchange gets f-ed up, you need to share all data second by second, so that the greater number of minds, can be applied to what is a public issue. That's how trust gets built and held over time.
Give us more info about the DDOS. Tell your ISP to do so or give us their phone number so that we who understand IT, can call them and help them.
By giving you (the general public, not you personally) a detailed account of our current IT setup, what data centers we use, what upstream pipes they use, etc would only be putting us more at risk because more information would be out there to the bad guys to find ways to further the attacks... I'll consider carefully what it is safe to release and what it isn't, but in the mean time, know that we are doing everything we can to prevent it from happening again. When havelock was setup, we originally had it in the same physical data center, and indeed on the same subnet as lightbox technologies (my other business), which is fairly easy to figure out the IT details of. This has now been changed so both havelock and canadianbitcoins are completely independent of lightbox technologies. Thats about all i'll say for now. |

That and a Canada Day Hangover in Ottawa Thanks for all the hard work LB Ah shoot posted that too soon Database seems down. Sorry about that. We've been notified about the problem. Please try again later. Maybe it is the API bots lol Lingering websocket stuff maybe.. seems fine now. |

but i do wish the fees were adjusted
keep the 3% for people at only buy or sell < 500$ of bitcoin a month
but make it easy enough for day traders to get to 0.5%fees
might bring more volume, i'd certainly start day trading again if i could get 0.5% fees again...
Joseph announced on a podcast the other day that fee's would be lowered this week.... |

We're back up now, minus the websocket (I believe thats what leaked the IP of the backend servers) we'll be looking for alternative solutions for the websocket once I get some sleep.

We are currently experiencing a massive DDOS and working with our provider to mitigate.
Follow @canadianbitcoins for updates via twitter. This was posted to twitter within minutes of the problem beginning. Sorry we dont monitor every bitcointalk thread when in the middle of trying to fix the problem.
No ETA as of yet.

Canuck: The HIM fund on Havelock tries to balance both value and dividend. We pay out approximately 50% of the generated revenue from mining every month. The other half goes to expenses and retained earnings for re-investment. Its why we're able to add ~3TH in the coming months _without_ having to issue new shares to raise extra capital (and dilute dividend per share). I think its a win-win for everyone, but agree with everyone else here, TRUST and doing your own DUE DILIGENCE are essential.
