For awareness, a guide to true interest-bearing instruments has been posted here.

I. MPOE Bonds.

These are used to finance the capital needs for the options trading better half of MPEx. Their functioning is described in detail here (look for the section on bonds), but in short: investors put up capital in chunks no less than 50 BTC, for which they ask whatever arbitrary interest rate they want. All BTC must be deposited before the start of an option month (they start/end on the last Friday of each month) and is locked down for the duration of that month. At the end of this interval, the total capital requirements for the month is calculated retrospectively and bonds are accepted up to that level. All accepted bonds are paid the highest interest rate asked for an accepted bond (which becomes the new MPBOR - for the past few months around 5%). Unaccepted bonds are paid nothing (but yes, they were locked down for the interval). Should the options bot have made a net loss during that month, that loss will be allocated to the accepted bonds, on a proportional basis.

You can review past exercises either on Mircea Popescu's blog (look for "MPOE, rezultate" month-year) or else in this btctalk thread. At this point the system has been working officially for about 7 months and informally for about one year. The worst hit investors took to date was ~48% last month, confirming earlier projections as to what a "worst case scenario" would look like. Other than that lossy exercises are actually rare.

A perk for the average forum user is probably the fact you don't actually need an MPEx account to participate.

II. The MPCD series.

This is a typical tranched CDO; you can review the full details including composition and payment schedules here. Tranche A  pays 2% a month, tranche B 3% and tranche C over 9%. Due to the capital structure (350 + 400 + 350 BTC) A's are safe even if the series loses about 750 BTC, so this should count as a very safe investment.

You do need an MPEx account to directly buy/hold these, but if you don't have one you can probably work out a reasonable deal with one of the MPEx brokers.

I am aware that there are other concoctions which purport to be interest bearing, but they are either mystery cake or else more or less managed funds of GLoBal Scam Exchange "investments". Neither of these have been ever, in the entire history of BTC, anything else than pain for the actual investor (ie, he who expects a positive return on his capital along with his capital), and as such if you aren't terribly new around here, the correctness of the title should be obvious to you.

No, they're American.

Well said.

And deprived has it again. Give the man a pin or something.

Maybe everyone just misunderstood what sort of hash he was talking about.

QFT

Last dividend was ~7k for the whole thing, it only is selling for ~350k, so your math fails on that score.
Further, after 10 years you'd have both the shares in their original, pristine, mint condition and the dividends paid during the 120 months. What "pay off" are you talking about?

It's not that hard really: you go to satoshidice.com and click where you see the word IPO in blue and underlined. Those are usually links on the interwebs.
At that link you will find a few nuggets of information, like the contract, a prospectus, the total dividend paid (786.15699996).

Since the total shares issued is 10 million and the owner blocks for sale add up to 6`938`859, you can work out the total dividend paid to 3rd party investors on MPEx to 240.65374250 BTC. The GLBSE passthrough holders together count for a little over 10% of that, hence the 40ish BTC payment that made its way there.

Deprived pretty much has it. Not only is this in no way insurance, but it is in no way useful at this point. Back to the drawing board.

Look into s.mpoe, s.dice etc. There's plenty of real businesses making 100s and k's of bitcoins every month.

Witnessed.

You can't force people to sign things.

That'd count as one (jurov). Get something straight: you're not in the WOT, you're not in bitcoin.

Oh, looky, it's Meni trying to talk his way out of having helped a bunch of people lose a bunch of money on some "investment" of his, all the while pretending like "there isn't a btc/fiat hedging vehicle".

While you circlejerks are doing pretty much nothing at all and making a lot of noise about it, MPEx traded about 100k option contracts last month. That would be significantly more than your aggregated net worth. Think about that for a second... actually, think about that for the hour and a half lunch takes to arrive.

Seriously? One name that's something in bitcoin, say it. Who's there?

Give out free soup in London these days, get 3k people lined up all the way to the next intersection.

Because they're simultaneously organizing it and the only people participating. So in the sense everyone's allowed to talk in his own living room...

Except you do.

Including you.

The only future you will create is the future news in the Cartmell suit / more luzly drama with the Global Scam Exchange.
Way to go with the partial statements however.

I'm not implying it, I'm saying it. Any one of ten thousand famished Nigerian adolescents could have done the same.

Kluge: You, personally, are an idiot. Thinking oh herp derp, I r bankr nao --that's idiocy. Going around now acting like you're some sort of noteworthy character doing things, wheeling and dealing and so forth is risible. You are simply an idiot that helped a bunch of lambs to the slaughter.

Oh, Mr. Citizen Banker-Dentist thinks being called an idiot in a public forum for having been an idiot is unfair and unwarranted? Bully for you. Oh, your mommy always told you you're great and you fart runny rose water? Bully for her. Nobody else cares. What you are is a guy that helped a bunch of lambs to the slaughter.

So drop the pretense, get on your hands and knees and face the music. Oh, he can't take the "pure negativity". Why did you associate with a ponzi if you knew you couldn't take the negativity? Why did you pretend yourself a banker when you're nothing of the sort? What do you think happens to people that play pretend?

Go ahead, whine about how openness is a bad thing because idiots get to be called out and "it's just unfair". So very impressive. And when you're done with that, we can laugh at you over the kronos fiasco, too. 

Un-fucking-believable, the nerve of you idiots. "Limited amount of patience", the gall.
