In America, are you legally required to specify a real name when ordering things online?

No

The billing address appears to be a PO box also

So here's my question, sorry if it's dumb but, in regards to the privileged IPVO shares who receive all profits until .0035 is paid per share. Is that only if they were bought from the issuer or do all outstanding shares at this point have the privilege to receive all profits? In other words if someone bought shares from havelock they would still own privileged shares correct? And this would be the case until additional shares are offered correct?

I ask because I bought shares at the pre-ipvo, during the ipvo, and after the ipvo closed. Just a little confused

I asked the same a couple of pages before, and It seems that it will be paid to whoever has those shares at the time dividends are thrown; doesn't matter if they were bought on one site or another... they will get those divs. (but I'm not 100% sure)

Yeah it's seems reasonable to me that anyone that owns any of the original 9,600,000 shares (minus what was destroyed) at the time divs are paid would receive the divs. Meaning the existing shares will be more valuable than any shares issued in the future. I'm just looking for confirmation.



edit: my apologies. I scanned through posts too quickly

I'm not going to dare to profit take at this point. I have a feeling I'd be buying back in at a loss later. Way to early. I believe with a little time this current share price will be a story we tell about how cheap they were back then lol. And I'm quite happy to wait for divs to return more than my original investment.

First dividend?  There were profits? Shocked


I'm not sure, and of course I assume that maybe not enough yet, but the opening was great, and it's just a matter of time... the point is that only the first dividend was going to give 0.0035btc per share to compensate early investors, am I right? I'm long with Neo Bee, and I wouldn't want lose the train, with those dividends and all the future expectations, selling now to daytrade... (just my thought)

I wouldn't expected a dividend until at least another quarter. And the way I understood it was all profits will be paid towards original IPVO divs until .0035 per share is paid.

I have to say the customer service is a lot better than other exchanges. I have completed 2 purchases so far by debit card and it went pretty smooth. You upload a quick video with your ID, face, and debit card for verification. The one issue I had was the fee for deposit with a CC says. 3.5%. Once I got the charge on my card it was 7%. I complained and got a prompt response that due to the fact they use overseas CC processor. That they additional charge was likely from my own bank. I have yet to verify this but I will post once I do. They also now have the option for US bank wire and bank transfer. I have not used this option yet and Im a little confused on the fee. Its says on the page $500 minimum deposit, 1% fee ($50 minimum). If this is a minimum $50 deposit fee it's ridiculous and more expensive than wiring money overseas to bitstamp or others. BUT I was assured by AMY on the instant customer service chat that the fee was 1% only and that my bank transfer of $500 would only cost $5.

Ill update if I get a chance to try it out.

Other than that the trade engine seems to work smoothly, the interface is simple to use. trade fees are comparable to other exchanges (only slightly higher) BTC withdrawal fee is .001
withdrawals processes instantly.

The market rate tends to run 5% or so higher that other US exchanges, I assume this is due to low volume or perhaps confusion about USD withdraw. There IS a USD withdrawal option with a 1% fee (with another confusing ($20 minimum) that AMY claims is only a 1% withdrawal fee.

Overall I would like to see this exchange grow and I would like to see the owner(s) pay attention to what the community wants and build the top US (or even world) exchange. I'm still suprised I havent seen more volume there already. I think the fees are a little confusing and the site looks a little scammy at first glance. I think if they added a chatbox feature people would feel more at home and comfortable, they could ask the opinions of others directly and clear up some of the first questions they have instantly. Worked well for mcxnow anyway.

UPDATE:
-----The extra fee I was charged on my deposit was a "foreign transaction surcharge" charged by netspend. Not by coin.mx. It appears to be because coin.mx's credit card processor is in Baku, Azerbaijan, that the banks may try to add a fee to your transactions. After I called netspend and complained the charges were removed.


-----The market rate at coin.mx has moved a little closer to the average over the past couple days and I suspect the volume is growing some, which is a good thing but until the volume here is comparable to the bigger exchanges there will not be enough liquidity here to arb which will keep the price higher (or possibly lower) than average

I have completed several buys and BTC withdrawals with no real issues other than the interface is slightly buggy. Sometimes when I cancel an order it will continue to show on the orderbook at the top regardless of real market price or currency. When you switch from BTC to LTC the chart and orderbook sometimes still show the last currency's price or symbol. I had to refresh several times throughout my interactions. One of the more scary bugs is I have logged out, closed the browser and re-opened the page and I was still logged in.

The site uses 2FA but I would feel more comfortable with google authenticator or authy support. Texts can be intercepted and the code sent may be able to be used at a later time. Overall the security is not bad. They ask for 2FA code for withdrawal also which is good.

I had one btc withdrawal which failed with no explanation but the 3 others worked fine.

I think a chatbox would be a great addition to the site. New users are more comfortable when they can chat with other users about their experiences etc.

The site is kind of laggy overall. I expect at some point they will need to upgrade their server and it's already slightly annoying.

I think if coin.mx can speed up the site and fix some a few bugs they will continue to grow. More traders will use the site if the engine is fast and the bugs are minimal and the that will increase the volume. I'd like to see more community involvement by coin.mx for example on reddit and bitcointalk. They should consider running with free trades for a short time or other promotions to get the word out. The more people see coin.mx posts and more positive reviews the more trust will be built and trust is important with exchanges as we all know.

Ok got a miner downloaded. When I click the executable I get json rpc call failed. I try to use a command line like I did for xpm and it doesnt recognize minerd. Heres the line I am trying

 C:\minerd.exe -a quark -t 8 -o http://qrk.coinmine.pl:6010 -u xxx -p xxx


Can someone help me here. I am an almost total noob to mining but would like to learn. Thanks!

Hey guys. I want to mine quark on my i5 cpu. I'm assuming a pool is best so i signed up at qrk.coinmin.pl
Trying to download the miner to get started. I see the links on the first page but I don't know how to download. What do I click? lol I'm running windows 7 btw. Should I just use the client and go solo?

Well to be honest we didn't know about the Slideshow presentation for quite some time until we had it translated over here
It is possible that information we don't have available on the English forum is real just not immediately confirmed
So for now assumes it is 75% confirmed not 99.9% Smiley

agreed, ill accept that

google translates FC to Grilled Cat lmao
Much healthier!
12  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: October 24, 2013, 09:02:23 PM
true.. hope FC can clarify this.  One thing I noticed was kind of strange about the video is that she looked like she was going to cry.  She didn't smile at all..

I hope so too, id love to see AM bounce back, also doesn't make sense to me that FC wouldn't let the forum know info like this himself, it could have helped the share price a lot. Why are we hearing this from what to me seems like a random person? Maybe FC will take notice and chime in with a confirm or deny soon, the suspense is killing me lol

The interviewer is one of our members in the Chinese community. She is not one of AM's board members but she does hold some AM shares. She has been planning to have an interview with Friedcat and finally she made it. We the Chinese Bitcoiners have known her for a long time and she's built her credibility with her interviewing more than 15 people in this community.
I post this video and translation in this thread, assuming that since she already post it on Weibo, a twitter-like service in China, that should become some public information and Friedcat's consent must have been gained to release it.
I can confirm this.

Very interesting.  If this is fake, then its the most elaborate pumping scheme I have ever seen in the 10 years I have been investing

doesnt seem very elaborate, just a chinese girl speaking to a video camera and a couple people who would really like the share price to come back, sell walls in place, hmm idk ill wait it out. if its true there will be plenty of room to get back in

But we're seeing confirmations from some fairly credible people, which would add to the schemes complexity.  If she was lying, would she have the nerve to show her face on webcam as she lies through her teeth?  I wouldn't have the balls to do that, especially if I lived there.

idk, im not accusing anyone at this point, just saying i personally will wait for more solid evidence. most people on this thread have plenty of motive to jump in and help if they think theyll get a little more btc back. He confirmed the girl is reputable in the chinese bitcoin community which makes it seem less likely she would be involved in some sort of outright lie, pump scheme but Ive seen too many people in securities say anything to pump or dump a share price so ill remain skeptical at the risk of missing out of some profit. I think if this is true the share price would double so plenty of time to get back in, no need at least in my opinion to panic buy, thats always gets me in trouble lol

3. 3rd Gen chips were also under development during that period. It is already developed now but still under test. It is expected to become a mature product in Feb 2014, which means its key indicators would be much better than those of its competitors. It is estimated that the network hashing power would be 1000p then, while Friedcat would deliver several hundred of it.

1000P ? As in Petahash?  By February? That sounds like more than a stretch. Even if the hardware costs nothing, electricity consumption of a 1000PH network would be close to its mining revenue for anything but the cheapest electricity. We may get there one day, but not in February. If Friedcat really think he can get several 100PH online by then, well, I wanna buy some shares. Find this hard to believe though.

agreed, not too sure about this yet
16  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It on: October 24, 2013, 08:25:20 PM
I'm skeptical until I see real proof, why wouldn't friedcat post of the thread with this info? :/
17  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER Speculation Thread on: October 12, 2013, 05:38:03 PM
An Asic that consumes 7W/GHs still generates about 6 times the btc that it will cost to power it.
So there still a long way before you start mining at a loss. Long in BTC time of course  Wink


Well if asics were free that would make sense, but sense there is a relatively high cost to start mining with the asic you are at a loss until that cost is completely recouped. Regardless of btc value, because your trading your btc for the miner. Why is this so hard for people to understand? I guess if people did understand that easily the price would have fell a lot sooner   Wink

The miners they deployed made back the btc long long time ago.
And AM only pays the manufacturing costs, not the mentioned 3,5 BTC each blade.

The main problem is they canīt deploy more hashrate, because the total power consumption in
the datacenter is limited.

I'm not talking about they miners they deployed, yes AM has made profit mining, and now that profit is  being eaten away.

I understand AM doesnt pay 3.5 BTC for a blade, I mean the consumer. The consumer will not make the btc back that they spend on the hardware. So as more people learn that less and less will sell, unless the price drops enough to change that fact and in that case AM will lose profit. In which case share price still falls. Until they get some new chips faster than anyone else they will not be bouncing back. Could be a year. Most people would rather just wait and buy back in when they see things looking up. There has to be incentive for most people. Some will hold because they feel it's the right thing to do to stand by the company. Some can't afford to take the loss.

When havelock releases the news they are shutting out US customers or shutting down the price will drop sharply again. When we have a better way to exchange securities and AM has a new chip that may be a good time to buy, but the price could be a lot cheaper to start than it is now

Selling itself is irrelevant.
What matters is how much total profit you get.
And if they sold blades with a mere .1 markup (assuming your .15 cost, .25 price), I doubt we would get nice dividends.

I agree, but you would still be getting dividends.

last price of blades was considerably higher than .25 btc.

Last price I heard on blades was 3.5 BTC or some nonsense, and they hash at what 10G? 13G maybe? Your so much better off just keeping your bitcoin. Your basically trading your btc for a device that will probably not return the same amount. If the price of bitcoin goes up you still would have been better off holding your btc. Not to mention electricity costs, downtime, malfunctions, etc. Its like a pre-order for bitcoin lol

I got into all this because I believe in bitcoin, ironically I have traded alot of those bitcoin I value so much for shares of companies with bad or unrealistic business plans mainly because I wanted to support bitcoin business and economy. Making a profit is a bonus when it happens, but I can't just give my bitcoins away.

the share price continues to fall and it's not because AM is a highly profitable company that sells out faster than it can produce it's hardware.
so, the closing exchanges have nothing to do with the share price, then?  The price on BF halved right after the announcement.

The current price takes the lower liquidity into consideration, plus the fact that AM is currently NOT SELLING HARDWARE.

The price will rise as the dividends rise.  If revenue doesn't increase, then share price won't, either.

The price has been steady falling since before any exchanges fell. Not saying it has nothing to do with it, I never said that at all. That's also a BIG problem.

Correct the price will rise as the divs rise and revenue increases. That's why it's falling because the opposite has happened consistently for too long. Their current pattern is clear. Also,

Havelock may be next to shut out US customers or close. That will happen, just a matter of how long until. I am out for now, as I said I may get back in later but not until more things are clear I can't afford to throw away money when the short-term outcome is so clearly a loss.
