Well all miners appear to work, but something has gone terribly wrong with MPBM. It now locks up hard after anywhere from 30seconds to 10minutes of mining

No ideas why. I'm working with TheSeven now but there might be a more extended outage unfortunately. I'm trying to work with TheSeven (maker of MPBM) and do troubleshooting but this is a bizarre issue. I'll keep you all informed as I have more info.

Top bid is 16 BTC for 500k share I assume?

Hey dude! I'm French! Give me a chance 

But there's no plural for "say"? I know "Radeon 7750 and 7770" are plural, and that's why I put an "s" to say. The plural form of "say" is "say"?

Looks like it's currently yielding around 14%.  It will be interesting to watch this.

WTF?!
I'd love to have an API to see orders + an orderbook snapshot of that trade... according to my calculations it should have gone down until 1.06 at least, there must have been some hefty snipes in the end!

Sorry actually there was a power interruption in my house and I had to get home to correct it. The FPGAs should be mining again shortly. Sorry for the confusion (and odd timing) lol...

I guess the power is being redirected
I saw a moment when the FPGA rig was mining at 1 gh/s, as if the majority of boards was reconfigured ... it was dropping since then.

Maybe it hangs because I sent a sub 1BTC amount (0.2something)?!

Just to keep everyone informed ,there was an issue with deposits not being processed for a period of about an hour.

This has now been fixed, the normal wait is for 6 confirmations, anyone who has been waiting longer please check your account, it should be there now.

Sorry about the delay.

Nefario.

There is nothing in the contract to actually allow acquisitions, nor am I willing to entertain offers to do so either.

The only reason I have shares represent 0% of company assets as the assets, until the event of liquidation, are owned by the growth fund. Assets can be sold, replaced, decommissioned, or otherwise removed from the asset pool for any reason I deem necessary to continue profiting (such as upgrading, the hardware actually dying, switching from FPGA to ASIC, etc).

And yes, that includes selling not-quite-dead hardware on eBay and putting the proceeds back into the growth fund. The contract fully lets me do that, nothing in it lets me leaking asset value out through any method under than the depreciation of the assets themselves (ie, plugging them in and turning them on).

Now, you do bring up a good point, this agreement DOES allows me to purchase other mining companies and hold them as assets; but as I said, I would never entertain BEING purchased. I would rather liquidate the company than let it be purchased.

tl;dr: Shares only entitle you to dividends.

This.

OP, if you don't know much. You could always just buy a Mac, because they never break and are virus free. They always have NVidia integrated cards, which are super cool and mine very well. If you don't want to build a PC, you could buy a Mac. They are going on sale this Summer for just two easy payments of an arm and a leg.

You'll want to make sure to grab an i7 with at least 32GB of ram

How many confirmations does it take until your account is credited? I have now over a dozen confirmations on my deposit and still nothing showing up.
Also it would be nice to have at least a "Incoming transaction pending" somewhere, I always worry that I've pasted a wrong address and taking seemingly forever to credit my account does not really help...

Overblown IPO. If Facebook manages to pull a 100 billion IPO off (and it looks like it) they could pay every one of their users more than 100 USD(!).

The difference is, however, that facebook will sell out quickly. 1 million shares @1BTC each probably won't, especially not with these terms. I might risk 8 coins too however and also start a trolling IPO and then (as I'm allowed in my contract) "sell" everything, take the money and laugh.
