Those of you with havelock... have you been doing alright with them? I just looked over their financials and they are losing more and more every quarter. They're down to a quarter (no pun intended) of where they were last year.
Difference between "losing" and "expenses" - we're making a lot of capital investments in new equipment (using retained earnings from earlier months), so our net profit/loss might be negative in recent months, but once this equipment comes online, we'll be generating significantly more. We have over 2TH on pre-order. |

Havelock: ~65 BTC a day? Interpolated due to limited data given.
Bitfunder: ~1650 BTC a day
BTCT: ~2000 BTC a day
MPEX: ~1000 BC a day
Your Havelock number is off by approximately an order of magnitude: https://www.havelockinvestments.com/funds.php |

Let me step back a bit here.
My last few posts were unprofessional. I apologize for the tone. Having a bad day dealing with government bureaucracy =/
I absolutely should have disclosed that there was a betting pool, and that this pool consisted of the loan from me. The reason I did not was because I figured since there was a liability (the loan) and an asset (the 6100 btc in the wallet) the two cancelled out and needn't be mentioned. Obviously this was retarded of me. Again, I apologize. And I understand why such disclosure is so important even if the asset remains there - for situations like this!
I understand also that as a shareholder, being asked to forgo a month of dividends in order to replenish a fund which you didn't know existed is upsetting. I should have recognized this before I posted.
I'll continue with the last plan I mentioned. My dividends for June will be retained by the site for the betting pool. S.Dice holders will receive dividends as normal. I'm sorry for the drama today, I can see it was largely because of me and how I approached the issue and responded to you guys.
Back to work.
If s.dice goes into the red more than collected in the pool will you let it die or will you make a new loan? if you let it die people will come after you with pitched forks. Also your new plan seems to be in violation of the contract. 100% has to be paid out. Of course I wouldn't let it die. The new plan is not in violation of anything. I can pay myself my dividend, and then send that amount to the SD wallet pool. Everyone else will get their dividends like normal, I'm just sending mine back in. So your dividend (whatever its amount) becomes a new loan? What if its not enough to run the SD betting pool? What if your dividend is, oh, say 6100BTC? (unlikely, but you never know) SD is paying back your 6100BTC loan, just to take out another loan from you? or you are personally GIVING SD your dividend? (that doesnt sound like a good deal for you) ? |

4. The ability to turn Havelock shares into MPEX shares at any time.
Did you actually ask them about fee to transfer shares in this direction? I did and it was 10 BTC , recently lowered to 1 BTC. Pushing IN from MPEX is free (click "MPEX Transfer" and paste your push receipt - its semi-automated) Pushing OUT to MPEX is 1 BTC fee (email requests to info@havelockinvestments.com - done manually) Cheers, James |

Personally, I have no idea why that stock is so high.
Doesn't make any sense.
Lightbox has been buying up equipment and increasing his overall hashrate for a while now. Compounded with BFL shipping news and an increase in his dividend payments, why wouldn't the price go up? What's the current hashrate and mining equipment ordered? Without this info, it's not possible to value the stock. Current ~80GH Preorder: ~2500GH - mostly BFL Singles pre-ordered in June/July/August 2012 |

I haven't followed the HIM stock closely but I was aware that they did a 10-1 split in March, and now it appears they are doing another 10-1 split just three months later. I don't own any so I haven't investigated further, but 2 stock splits in such a short period of time is, shall we say, interesting.
When we launched, a unit of the fund was approximately ~$30. Our goal was to always keep the price in the $20-$50 range, to allow individual investors the opportunity to invest without requiring huge amounts of capital. Back in April, our units were trading for over $400/share ($20/btc and 20btc/unit), so we split 1:10 to get us back down to the range we wanted to be at. By the end of May with the price of btc we were back over $250/share again ($120/btc and 2.xbtc/unit), so we split 1:10 again to get us back down to the range we wanted to be at. Splitting the stock like this creates liquidity in the market without affecting shareholders price in any way. Thanks for your interest in Havelock and HIM. |

Who runs Havelock investments? I was looking at their VirtEX shares, they're trading at ~0.42 BTC, they IPO'd at ~0.39. The thing is, they don't pay dividends, but they say they're real shares. This is not a separate fund; buying shares in VTX will entitle you to actual equity ownership in VirtEx. You can even be listed on the notice of shareholders with the registered Alberta Corporation, please contact us for details. But they're not paying dividends. I don't know much about Virtex I run Havelock Investments, and I run the Havelock Investments Mining Fund. I don't think its a bubble, I think people are building into the price the fact that BFL will be delivering soon and our hashing power is going to be increasing substantially. Virtex has stated they arent paying share immediately, but plan to do so in the future. |

Maybe you should look at the actual asset (the one on MPEx) instead of looking at the pass-throughs, which have much lower volumes.
Havelock SDICE Passthrough has same volume as MPEX SDICE, around 380,000/MPEX and 350,000/Havelock past 30 days Kind of an interesting phenomenon seeing how Havelock holds about 1% or something like that? Actually over 11% of the "Tradable" shares (1.442/13=11.09%) |

Is it still neccessary to pay a network fee of BTC0.0005 on withdrawal? In Bitcoin-qt v0.8.2 the default fee has been lowered to BTC0.0001.
im considering updating the site to allow you to specify what fee you want to pay... maybe in the next update! James |

Trad Engine Upgrade took about 5 minutes to complete yesterday (May 30) around 5PM EST..
The new trading engine is now in place.. orders will usually get processed before the ajax-drive page even reloads.....
Upon placing orders, there will now be a "Recent orders (last 60 seconds)" box that appears right between the buy/sell forms and the bids/asks list, that way you can confirm that your order was a) placed, and b) possibly already filled.
The orderbook page also refreshes via ajax every 20 seconds... (yes, we're working on a websocket to provide live updates too.. just want to finish the API first)
There was no other changes in this update, except the code in the trading engine to introduce trading fees (as previously announced), starting at midnight tonight.

Two typo's on the main page of Havelock. Under Trading fees: "Effetive June 1st, 2013." Under News: "Nov 27, Bitoin Magazine" Typo's look a bit sloppy, may scare some ppl away. Easily made but also easily fixed.  Wow how did I do that!? Thanks! all fixed. James |

Anyone else having issues with slow load times and pages not loading?
Also getting signed out randomly.
It happens during very high trading usually and sometimes today is a good day for that example as ASIC went bonkers again  I'm investigating this problem.... if anyone can give me a specific date/time that it has happened, it would be much appreciated.. i'm not seeing anything specific in the logs or my usual analytics... server load looks fine, network looks fine... wallet server looks fine... maybe i need to tweak some cloudflare settings or something... |

Dividends have been scheduled for payment at 0.00034411 per share!
Unfortunately, the system within Havelock doesn't currently support instant payout, so this will clear tomorrow.
Maybe Lightbox can push them sooner?
If you post the payout for the current day, it'll be paid out at the top of the next hour... you do not have to post it for a date in the future.. I wont change the one thats there now, since it has already announced, we'll let it go tomorrow (at 8AM) James |
