N00b question. Is there anyway to move stocks between exchanges?

There is no automated service that does this.
Moving shares between exchanges is a very manual process.
Like Burnside said, you will either have to speak with the asset issuer OR find some one (like TradeFortress) willing to trade.

I thought about monthly, but the problem is that with BTC you can't auto-charge anything except their existing account balance and I don't really want people to be able to go month-on, month-off, month-on, etc.

Offer different plans:

  • Quarterly
  • Biannual
  • Annual

Give slight discounts to the longer periods and you are done.

3 months shouldn't be to much overhead, and still give users a chance to "try it out" with out too much commitment.

Is it supposed to take this long for small bets?

We don't know.

Let me quote myself (I've always wanted to do this)
Including links to the transactions is a huge help.

Total dividends of 0.16211835 (management fee included) will be paid this week.

COGNITIVE has rebounded from it's earlier low and all the other underlying assets have also improved slightly. GMP is still at 0.6 BTC.
This has increased the NAV per share to BTC0.59



I am still interested in comments on bringing the fund to BitFunder.
Should it be a pass-through? Or should I just sell shares there and include them as part of the total assets? All assets are kept on the spreadsheet.

I think it will be much easier to distribute dividends if the Bitfunder asset were a pass through.




Future Outlook - My guess as to what's to come.

GMP's high price is due to Avalon delivering first. But when other ASIC companies release, I fear that the price of GMP will "re-normalize."
Expect high volatility until every company has all their ASIC devices happily hashing away.

Hi, I'm new to this whole SatoshiDice business and so I tried to test it out to see how it works and I can't tell if it works.

First I sent .001 BTC
Minimum bet is .01, your first bet is a tip.

ThickAsThieves is correct.  Minimum bet is BTC0.01 And I forgot about that.

Bets below the minimum are not returned.
Consider your 0.001 bet a donation to the house.

Hi, I'm new to this whole SatoshiDice business and so I tried to test it out to see how it works and I can't tell if it works.

First I sent .001 BTC like it says on the website to test it and here is the blockchain thing https://blockchain.info/tx-index/52328977/a285c66db31a8669e0002b700d941af6e106df83e0758abe78dcf0701b809558 I never got anything back like the website said I would so I tried again with 0.01 and I still haven't gotten anything back. Here's the blockchain thing for it https://blockchain.info/tx-index/52329479/c444df3fe71ef9bd79dbb2a2e66f3cfb2d56f3d98b77a71245e6c5e38bd8a429

I'm using the Bitcoin qt client that you get from the official website. Am I doing something wrong?

Nope, you did everything correct. Your first small bet is stuck. Many people have been having the same issue. Just be patient. If is still stuck after 24 hours, mention it again. (Including links to the transactions is a huge help.)

Your second bet (BTC0.01 on 97%) was evaluated. It won and you were paid a total of 0.01054424 minus the transaction fee of 0.001 resulting in a payout of 0.00954424 into your wallet.

Your payout transaction:

Anyone can create a new account and become a member (again). If keeping a username is so important then the member should keep at least 1 seat.

So, if a member sells all seats, after 24 hours that user account is locked, deleted, etc.

But the same user can't log back in to buy seats again after the 24 hour period? A new username will have to be created? They can not re-use the same username from a deleted account?

I just want to make sure we all know what the rules are.

I was updating a bitcoind on my backend.  It switched to level db and was downloading the blockchain.  That is all good, except it is used to determine the difficulty for the purpose of share payments.  It probably ran a number of times while the blockchain was being downloaded and got some incorrect difficulties in the process.

I've stopped payments for a little while I cleanup the DB.  Some people will probably have been paid too much and go negative for a while (maybe forever if they stop mining).  But I won't ask people to be responsible for my mistake.

Well, I'm glad you got this sorted out. Thanks for the loan. I'll keep my miners working until my over payment is paid back.

This is a fantastic pool, and I want to see it going for a long time.
411  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTCT.CO] BTC-GOLD: 100 shares = 1 gram gold bullion on: February 06, 2013, 05:53:22 PM
The price of USD vs BTC has been on a steady increase. This has caused the price per share to drop.

Small walls will be on the exchange until the current bar of bullion is sold.
If you are interested in purchasing 100 or more shares, please contact me. You can send a PM or usually find me on the BTC-E chat box. I will quote you the most up-to-the-minute pricing.

Our position in GMP continues to rally as it will have Avalon ASICs devices mining "soon."
The price of Cognitive has slipped a bit but shows signs of improving.
Even with the Cognitive dip, GMP's rally has increased the fund's NAV per share to BTC0.57.

Once again, I have chosen to waive Management Fees this week. Thank you to all who have invested.
Total Dividends of 0.16649484 will be paid tomorrow night (USA time).





Future Outlook - My guess as to what's to come.

Just about all companies are holding off on purchasing new equipment, except for ASIC devices. Until ASIC devices are in the hands of mining companies, dividends from them will continue to wane.

Avalon ASIC devices have proven to meet their specs, so any mining company that can get their hands on one will have a tremendous advantage (hence GMP's rally). It looks like bASIC-MINING might be going with Avalon as well.

Also, the Price of BTC vs USD continues to be a huge factor. Order an ASIC device to early and you end up paying more BTC, but wait to long, and then you won't have an ASIC device when you need it.

In RL an exchange has basically nothing to do with voting - voting would be handled by the company directly.  One body needs to track and record the results of votes.  If Carnth wants to do that off-site and record/publicise results somewhere else then that's fine

I would keep the result on the Asset spreadsheet. That would act as the definitive count for all votes across the exchanges.
414  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] MININGCO.ETF - Mining Company ETF on: January 30, 2013, 12:22:55 AM
I don't think a 1% premium makes much of a difference if it is due to the exchange charging higher fees,

This is exactly the reason. Bitfunder charges 1% fees only to the seller, which the fund would have to bare. The fee follows a sliding scale which can be found here: https://bitfunder.com/help


so long as it is a combined fund across 2 exchanges.

Yes, it would be a combined fund across 2 exchanges. A first in the crypto-currency world if I'm not mistaken.


Good luck.  This fund keeps getting more exciting.

Thank you very much for your interest.



There could also be extra benefits as well such as the ability to transfer shares from one exchange to the other.
I am curious about any other interest. I would be willing to do this if I can justify the Asset Creation fee.
415  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] MININGCO.ETF - Mining Company ETF on: January 29, 2013, 08:46:58 PM
This week, our position in COGNITIVE took a hit; the weekly average price is down to .33 from .42.
This has caused the NAV per share to fall to .52

This week's dividends of 0.33851856 will be paid tomorrow night on Jan 30, USA time.
The Management Fee has once again been waived. Thank you to all who have invested.




I would like your thoughts on setting up this fund on BitFunder.
If you only have an account on Bitfunder, would you want to buy shares in this fund?
Because of the fees Bitfunder charges, would you buy shares at a 1% premium over the price sold on BTC-TC?

I'm not trying to belittle your pain, I feel you. Lost lots of money on the Sex and the City slot machines in vegas last week Sad  (true story)

Hmm... I would have thought you more of a table games guy. Blackjack and craps especially.  *shrugs*
417  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] MININGCO.ETF - Mining Company ETF on: January 24, 2013, 05:13:24 AM
The first dividend payment was successful!
The Value of GLARI Mining Project (GMP) jumped significantly. Because of this, the NAV per share has risen to .54 BTC.



Future outlook-my guess as to what's to come:
Since Avalon has announced its release of their ASIC mining devices, GMP is in position to receive Avalon ASIC devices in Batch 2.

In other news, it looks like bASIC is calling it quits.  bASIC has promised to refund all pre-orders, so a move to a different ASIC producer shouldn't be difficult. But, mining companies who chose to go with bASIC will now be in the back of the queue for other ASIC devices.

Be very cautious when investing. Watch for continued volatility as the ASIC drama continues.
418  Economy / Securities / Re: [NastyFans] NASTY MINING on: January 24, 2013, 04:23:13 AM
Going forward, could we have a forum function on nastyfans.org to address some of the issues shareholders may have?

I think this forum is doing a pretty good job already. I get notified when this topic is updated via email and I can even make smileys like this:  Cheesy 

Along with it possibly post an FAQ under the policy to address some issues that have arisen. 
A FAQ on the site would indeed be a good idea. Maybe also an option to receive an notification email when there is a new policy change, would be great.
I believe that nonnakip has stated in the past that nasty fans will not send email.

You are correct, Nasty Fans does not send email.
And now, my proposal for the FAQs.

FAQ #1: Does Nasty Fans send email?
Answer: No.

FAQ #2: Why?
Answer: Because.

FAQ #3: Then where can I get updates/notifications on Nasty Fans news and policy changes?
Answer: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86854.0 and https://twitter.com/NastyMining

So far, policy changes have been discussed and debated right here, on this forum--in this topic. I'm OK with this. I get emailed when this topic is updated. You can too, by clicking the "Notify" button on the bottom of this page.
419  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] MININGCO.ETF - Mining Company ETF on: January 23, 2013, 12:15:58 AM
Dividend to be paid tomorrow will be a total of BTC0.11955969
I have waived the management fee as a thank you to everyone who has taken the first step with me to get this fund going.



Future outlook-my guess as to what's to come:
ASICs still are a huge concern for everyone involved with Bitcoin mining. Expect increased market volatility.

Avalon has announced that they have shipped a couple of units. At this time, there is no way for sure to know if this is true as no one has come forward to say that they have one in their possession.

One thing is certain, the mining company that can get their ASIC equipment first will have a huge advantage and not to mention an equally huge jump in price.
420  Economy / Securities / Re: [BTC-TC] Virtual Securities Exchange now with Dividend Reinvestment Program on: January 22, 2013, 06:46:45 AM
It has been a point of much confusion and frustration.  For example, I reserve 0.005 from the balance in case there's a fee, but the other day someone withdrew something like ~0.070 and ended up with a 0.020 fee, leaving their account negative 0.015.  Doh.  A few slightly negative accounts are not a huge deal, but what if 1000 people had that happen to them?  It starts to be an issue.  I'm not sure yet what the answer is... maybe a 0.1 BTC reserve?

The other option I've been looking into is the zero transaction fee patch.  It seems to have some gotcha's though.  For instance they recommend minimum transfers of 0.01 BTC and they still recommend adding a fee manually when there are lots of inputs.  Is there anyone out there with a lot of experience running this on a decent sized site?  Maybe I should just email the BTC-e guys or something.  Smiley

I have no idea of how fireduck does it, but SatoshiDICE sweeps individual inputs into more manageable chunks for future spends. You can see this happening even on losing bets. Dice will send some other TX to another of their "bank" addresses, along with your loss. I'm sure that they have a huge and complicated system of managing all of these inputs, tracking the size, and age of each input. Then they can spend only inputs that they need to complete the TX with minimal fees.
They also keep various sized inputs on hand so that they don't have to break up a 100 BTC input to pay 0.01, and then end up with new "young" 99.99 BTC input.
Of course, Dice handles more TXs than anyone, so yeah, their system is complicated.

Another alternative is to allow withdraws to be queued together. Lets say someone wants to withdraw, but they can wait. Queue withdraws and send all on the hour. If there are any TX fees, they would be shared by everyone withdrawing so it would be much lower (hopefully).
