Weekly Update:

1.13L per share (Down 1.7%)
0.000385BTC per share (Up 2.7%)


Note: Dividends will be added to accounts next week. To make a reinvestment or withdraw, please use the investment form on the website. Monthly performance for October is as follows:

L$: +13%
BTC +18.6%

Uncommon growth in both Linden financials and BTC financials. This growth is due to a stock deal with the parent company, where we are able to secure certain stocks at roughly 10% below market value. BTC high growth is due to a moderate price drop in BTC-SLL.

I would prefer the funds be used in the bot as opposed to a payout.

Weekly Update:

1.15L per share (11% increase)
0.000375BTC per share (12% increase)

This week's increase of value was due to a small dip in the BTC price and selling the BTC before the dip, as well as picking up a number of stocks at a discount rate. Growth of ~3% a week is highly abnormal and should not be seen as the norm.

Is this the next Usagi?

I looked up Usagi and NYAN. I'm not super familiar with it, but from what I can tell he closed down three funds in an order that was beneficial to his clients, and then purchased the other assets with the other funds before they closed (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Nintai Brokerage Corporation only runs one fund, and I've been investing in the Capital Exchange since August of last year, when Nintai Brokerage Corporation was listed on their market. If there is something specifically I can address, please let me know. The other item I notice is that NYAN paid a set dividend per month, and I don't see anything about buy backs. I'm honestly having a hard time comparing the two, besides they are both a fund.

I am happy to report that I have now received the BTC we had deposited at GLBSE Smiley
//DeaDTerra

Great news!

So, how are things looking now regarding a payout?
We currently have about 450 Bitcoins in total liquid BTC,
The rest is in debt or illiquid assets.
//DeaDTerra

Will you be using that 450 in the bot for now?
87  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: HELP!!! BitCoin Spinner issue - coins no longer there!!! on: October 12, 2012, 07:22:11 PM
I'm under the impression that your coins are gone. I know it sucks to say now, but I would highly suggest using mobile wallets for only small transactions or transactions that you will be making for that day. BTC savings should be kept on an offline wallet, and then when you need the coins you can transfer them out. The beauty of the non-mobile wallet is that you can back it up. What I imagine happened is that while it didn't erase the application your private address was changed. (Unless the BTC Spinner uses the block chain and needs to redownload it and you still have the same private address, but I'm not familiar with BTC Spinner.)

For those who are not investing, I would like some input if you have the time. Which of the current terms make the fund unattractive to you. Would it be that there are no dividends or something else?

Thank you for your input in advance! If there is a consensus of a term that is unfavorable, largely I will try to adjust it so that the fund appeals to a wider audience.

I think this is a great idea, but I see couples problems that might limit investors.

1. Most of the BTC assets pay dividends, and ones that don't aren't very attractive to investors i've talked with
2. BTC has had very wild upswings in price, We could have an upswing in BTC of 15% in one week(or Down) and then it could take a year to break even if that BTC price remains stable.
3. I think alot of people would see this as shorting BTC, because most people are optimistic on BTC Price growth.

1. I think I'll revise the terms to factor in a dividend, in that case. We actually use to offer a fund with a dividend, but one of the more popular funds in the Second Life investment market had great growth due to not offering a dividend and instead using that capital for reinvestment. Offering a dividend does lower that growth by a margin, but I guess it is a trade-off in the BTC market -- especially since users don't want to have their funds laying stagnant without access to them at all.

2. I actually attempted to factor that into the return. I'll try to make that more clear to investors. Because the SL stock market has many high dividend paying companies, the majority of those shares are climbing rapidly. Our company possesses a large number of shares that are expected to grow 15% growth in next month, and they also pay a .10L per share dividend. I think that as long as we continue to approach high dividend, high growth trustworthy stocks in that market BTC price growth will not harm the price in the long run (week by week it looks very jumpy, not only because of BTC-SL price but also because of stock price fluctuation.) As far as I can tell, the BTC price is trying to normalize around 12-12.2USD per BTC, and that a decent sized sell order could bring it back down to $11.4. I'm hoping the market can find stability at that point as the trend seems to be. I originally wrote up the fund plan when BTC was stable in the 7 dollar range. However, with the other investments that were available at the time it wasn't worth it to enter the market. Let me know if that helps to address that concern.
3. It's possible that they would see it that way; however, while shorting would provide incredible profits for BTC customers, there is also a fair amount of profit to be made if the price stabilizes or raises at a steady 2% per month. It honestly depends on when investors think the price is going to stabilize. I think the fund can be quite competitive compared to many investments, especially with the recent defaults in the long-term deposit BTC market, as well as the closure of the GLBSE.

Edit: I updated the OP to reflect what I wrote here including adding 30% of profit per month as a dividend

Weekly update for those invested or interested.

L per share price raised to 1.03L per share (3% growth)
BTC price now at .0003124BTC per share due to price fluctuation. (-2.4%)

I expect the price to remain stable for BTC conversion somewhere around 3200-3300L per share. Currently the SL market has BTC price at $12.47, which accounts for the small drop in BTC price. (The last price was set at when it was $11.9~ per BTC)

The balance is not guaranteed, please make this clear. I don't want someone to feel fooled if the balance end up less then the amount stated.
//DeaDTerra

Updated to reflected that. Thanks for offering this DeaD Smiley If they don't sell they don't sell, and I'm fine with that. But it's nice to have the option so that I can resume business Smiley
94  Economy / Securities / Re: [Investment fund] Gamma Bitcoin Fund [Closing] on: October 10, 2012, 03:31:46 PM
Selling account 117 for 400BTC. Current balance is 468BTC.

Note that the 468 balance may change from what is stated, as the fund value swings either up or down. So the amount received could be more or less.

Nintai Brokerage Corporation Introduces:
Anteishita Fund


Monthly Performance:

October:
L$: +13%
BTC +18.6%

November:

L$: +6.6%
BTC: -8.1%

December:

L$: +8.391%
BTC: -1.3%
------------------------------------

Introduction
Anteishita Fund is a Second Life Linden-based investment fund, open to the public now.

What is the Anteishita Fund?

Anteishita roughly translates in English to mean steady, calm, stable, or firm. The Anteishita fund is provided by Nintai Brokerage Corporation for clients who do not wish to manager their own portfolios but still wish to profit through investments.

As the name of the fund implies, the Anteishita fund focuses on investments that are steady and firm in their growth. Often times this means that these investments will pay lower dividends per invested currency, but the investments grow steadily in their value.

This fund is considered relatively low risk. The fund pays out 30% of profits per month out as a dividend. Expected growth per invested currency per month is 0-3% including paid out dividends. (Note: Profits per month is defined as dividends earned by the fund and profits made through stock trading. It does not including the NAV increase of stock holdings.)

(Note: BTC price fluctuation has been factored into the expected growth per month.)

The fund mainly operates on the Capital Exchange "stock simulation" which is based in Second Life.

How Will the Anteishita Fund be Operated?

Clients who wish to purchase into the fund can do so at the current "per-share" price of the fund; this value can be found at top-right of this page. To place an order for shares, clients need to only fill out the form and follow the appropriate instructions depending on the currency that they are buying into the fund with.

Minimum investment required for BTC clients is 1BTC.

Once users have purchased into the fund they will not need to mess with investments and other market handlings, as they will be handled by Nintai Brokerage Corporation.

Note that fund value will be updated weekly around 12PM CST/CDT (typically on Wednesday.)

Clients can choose to sell their "shares" back to Nintai Brokerage Corporation 30 days after the date of when the shares were purchased. To sell out of the fund all that clients need to do is fill out the appropriate form on the website, which can be found at the top of this page. Note that confirmation from the client will be required before the share sell will be placed. Note: Withdraws will be processed by the end of each month, as it takes time to liquidate a client's shares. Please give 14-day notice of withdraws, otherwise full liquidation may not be possible by the end of the month.

When users sell their "shares" back to Nintai Brokerage Corporation, a 5% fee will be deducted from their account based on the total value of the sale.

There will be a .5% fee deducted from total account balance per month for maintenance. (Note: This fee will not occur in the event that there is no growth for the month.)

Note: Fund deposits will be seized by NBC if they do not hear from the client within a year of deposit. At nine months NBC will begin trying to contact said client.

What are the Fund's Risks?

-The investments that the fund makes fail. Investments include virtual stock purchases
-As the majority of stocks for this fund are based on the Capital Exchange, an additional risk is that Second Life could halt it's services
-(additional risk for BTC Clients) There may be a large price uptick in L$ to BTC conversion. As the funds are converted to L$, this would hurt the client's return. (On the flip-side, if the price of BTC goes down, you're earning a great profit!)

Who is Nintai Brokerage Corporation?

Nintai Brokerage Corporation is a publicly listed company on the Capital Exchange stock simulation game (http://www.slcapex.com/trades/symbol/NBC), and has been so since August of 2011. Additional information about us can be found on our website at www.nintaibrokerage.com.

We now have no idea how many of our bitcoins you've lost!

That's actually in the log book. You just have to move the tab to the current week.

The current week is actually not in the log book.  Last entry is for 9/28, actually.


Right, but you can tell how many Bitcoins roughly remain for the value based on the four day old information from the week that ended on the 30th.

Technically, I would agree that he's not contractually obligated to pay anyone back, because I'm certain no one actually signed any documents. ...

First sentence already shows a fundamental lack of understanding contract law, this is simply not true. Contracts can be of any form, and are there to be kept. Proving it to a judge is another matter, but not impossible.



Actually I understand contract law pretty well which is why I doubt that any of hashking's 'contracts' are enforceable.  A couple of emails or forum posts back and forth are barely more credible than an unwitnessed oral contract.  Hashking also claims to be 15, which makes contracts nonbinding on his end, since under-18 year olds don't have agency in the eyes of most courts anyway.

A single email with a response is actually an enforceable contract.
