this statement is flat out wrong.. I have been investing for more than a decade so I can speak with some degree of experience having received many dividends both in the US and AUS markets.

please re-read the wiki you posted.

if you buy shares AFTER a special dividend is announced then you are usually not illegible for that dividend. This is because the "Record Date" is typically the same date as the announcement (or within a few days, usually prior).  it is extremely rare for example for a company to announce a special dividend and then say "oh but the record date is in one months time".
Note that this kind of practices is done typically to stop people rushing to buy shares only to collect a dividend and then dumping immediately afterwards.

Sure you can be eligible for future dividend if they are announced at a later date but you are only guaranteed to get a dividend if you are a shareholder before each announcement.
I want to make it very clear that I am talking about Special dividends here (ie dividends which are declared after a particular event) rather than recurring/regular dividends that a company may choose to issue on a quarterly or yearly basis.

Since Karmashares LLC has no history of issuing regular dividends it is a given that any dividend announcement is likely to be a special dividend.. (i.e. a one off or series of one offs.)

as quoted by the wiki.


In any case whether or not the record date is set after the announcement date for any dividend, as soon as the announcement is made the price or Karma will correct upwards to "price in" any dividend payment.

this will make it more expensive for people to "buy in" and profit from any payouts.

it will also make it harder for Karmashares LLC if people start dumping after a dividend because there is no way to exit karmashares other than to ask Kosmost for a refund.
which could turn out to be an administrative nightmare.

that's not to say that there isn't an administrative nightmare already brewing.... just saying that the best way to deal with the issue of any windfall is to keep most of the money for development and give regular but small dividends back to the karmashares holders.

just my opinion of course but I don't see how announcing a dividend and then allowing a grace period so that hoards of people can "buy in" with hopes of participating in the payout is going to help Karma or Karmashares LLC in the long run.

no doubt the volatility will help traders like me though.. so feel free to ignore everything I just said lolz.

Second one is happening a lot in my country.

I run a proffitable faucet, that being said you re correct in the fact that the market is saturated, but its staring to thin about now as most are fly by nights triers who as you say end up losing BTC.

Anyway back to the OP try starting with microwallets faucet its very easy to set up and has a great admin panel now they have updated it.

You can grab the latest version from here: http://www.freebitcoinfaucet.org/upgrade

If you need hosting for it, give me a PM I can help with that as I have a few dedicated servers.

I'm no expert but I can almost guarantee you they're not gonna come to your house and take the item back. They won't come after you legally either, unless there's evidence that you are the same person that bought the item fraudulently. Most likely they'd just ban the purchasing account and make some minor efforts to get their money back. Probably depends on the size of the purchase too.

WARNING: AVOID AMAZON GIFT CARDS on PURSE.IO


If the "BUYER" uses fraudulant means to pay for your gift card, and Amazon processes the claim, they can and will cancel your gift card WELL after you've released escrow. They will remove the credit from your account, and if you have no gift-card balance, they will charge your credit-card on file. At this time (August 2014) Purse.io has no protection against this type of event, and no remedy in place to return your coin.





I'm a long-time purse.io user, love them, have had only good interactions on their site, till now. I notified purse.io, hoping they'd at least investigate, find the user, remove any coin from their account, let me know they'd banned them, etc.. But their response? Sounds like a great big bag of "not our problem"...



I will continue to use purse.io (just used them again this morning, in fact) but this is a problem that users need to be aware of, and that purse.io needs to find a way to address. Until they do, they should ban all gift cards, they're too easy to exploit.

Is the message written in greek?

I have the same problem. I registered to bitcointalk just to ask about it. Only the login and registration pages are missing, the rest of the pages are still there. No earnings report either. Is this the end?

Crypto-Trade right of passage: phishing.


I got a phising email today about my crypto trade account. Congrats Crypto-Trade.

To everyone: be careful about this.

For starters how will you know if you ranked by me or another person
I'll personally provide a report for all SEO work made, and would like to be paid according to this. Keep in mind SEO can take days or weeks to begin working for your site as crawlers are not real time or instantaneous.

If you can send me a list of what you want to be ranked for I'll be happy. To work on this, for a fair price that is pre-stated PER KEYWORD. I do not want to work and end up getting paid a few bucks for it after hard work

Sent PM with recent work and other details.

v0.1.3.0 Should work perfectly fine, coins take 30 days to mature before being eligible for PoS mining

Possible ideas:
- Hosting
- Namecoin domains
- Computer hardware
- Raffles for DVC-related prizes (like the toy)

and many more!

The RMA'ed Neptune was replaced with a different unit. The unit has a few cores that are not functioning properly, but because the total hashing power is at least 3 THS, KnC will do nothing.

KnC is not willing to offer any compensation of any kind for the downtime, but if you are asking about the second Neptune, it will not be shipped until the end of Batch 3 and Batch 2 (when I checked yesterday,) hasn't started shipping yet.

Sorry ranlo, I've been really busy lately, but I think this will answer your questions...

If you look on the first page the KnCMiner Neptune Spreadsheet on row 4 (Order # 0) you'll notice that column D states "SWMC Investor Pool," that is the 300 GHS that was reserved for previous investors. Being in the investor class, your earnings are part of the SWMC Investor Pool portion of BTC mined with the Neptune, and as such, the Electrical/Maintenance/Transaction Fees have already been deducted on the first page.

The second page "Investor Sheet" is a breakdown of how the BTC earnings are divided amongst all previous investors. Your "Payment After Deductions" is your share of the Neptune's BTC earnings that was paid during the last payment, except that I did not have your payment address at the time of the last payment so the payment was not sent. The reason the "Last Payment Sent" column states "Paid - MINERPAY, SWMCHEX" is a reminder that you have been paid your MINERPAY and SWMCHEX, but the last BTC payment is still owed to you. The amount will be sent with the next payment.

The "Remainder" is the amount of BTC you are due but can not be sent because the Bitcoin client does not send amounts below 8 decimals in size. This amount will accumulate until the total remainder amounts add-up to an amount above 8 decimals, then that amount (minus any further remaining amount below 8 decimals) will be included into the next payment.

The "Neptune Earnings" is the total BTC that your share has earned to-date.

As for a minimum payment threshold. The way Counterparty works when sending a distributed payment is that the payment is automatically split-up between the total assets and proportionally sent to each address that holds the asset. So no, there is no way to set a payment threshold for individual address' when using Counterparty.

The first payment was more of a token payment to indicate that I was making good on my promises. The amounts sent were smaller than will be typical because mining had only been operational for a few days. The rest of the payments should be larger, but will gradually decrease over time as the difficulty level increases and earnings decrease. I may extend the length of time between payments to minimize the cost percentage for the transaction fees when the earnings decline to a certain level.

Does that clear it up for you? If not, just let me know what is not clear and I will explain...

Thanks davideak, ranlo... you guys are the best!
