Thanks for saying so, much appreciated.

My pleasure. There are several reasons why this asset does not support import/export of shares or conversion to whole-shares. One is that it would require a lot of work by multiple parties, particularly if low in quantity. The work includes tracking the changes, destroying shares, requesting transfers, verifications, and dealing with any human errors. I also want to avoid adding more work to Friedcat's plate, as we are all lucky enough that he plays along cooperatively with the PTs.

I do consider this feature regularly, but it is unlikely I will change this restriction in the short-term. Another reason is that one of the stated goals of this asset is to acquire a board member seat, and exporting shares is counterproductive to that goal. We've already reached 1300+ whole-shares toward the 5000 required, and in a pretty short amount of time.

Running this venture at the level that I have been is a full-time job. I know that seems crazy to most, but there is a lot of work involved in juggling deals, fielding questions, and selling at best prices. Fortunately, this is work I am passionate about!

In my opinion, the initial auction description should disclaim that it will allow pm bids. Unrepresented bids are shady.

My identity and business designation are private to everyone except for the exchange operators.

If you are not comfortable buying crypto-assets on Havelock Investments under the terms noted in my asset description, you can always seek to invest elsewhere.

You might be able to get specific business info about Havelock itself by speaking with its owner, lightbox.

Thank you!

A fitting post for me achieving "Hero" status! 500 posts

I'm a little confused about what you actually do in the game. Float around?

Once you get your ripples, you should delete your post from here. Otherwise you'll get random people stalking you to buy them.

Your site/signature needs a tip address

Dooglus, I'd be interested in your feedback on this site in comparison to satoshidice.com. Do you see any interesting pros/cons in contrast?

To me it seems straight-up better here.

Auction ain't over!

Ran out of hamster wheels, waiting on service call and more hamsters.

What you did isn't a hedge, it's selling one thing to buy something else that is less valuable. Where's the hedge aspect?

I named it Inaba, of course.

I ordered a BFL but all I got was this lousy unicorn.

Considering people already have bids in, it has to be.

Because there aren't enough bids to support selling 575 shares on any of the exchanges, and doing so, even slowly, would depress the price quickly. Doing an auction allows for a better price, assuming market demand is there.

They will sell you mining boards, made to order, here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=204030.0

They aren't selling chips, they are putting 200TH+ online in their own mining farm in the next 4-6 weeks.

The dividends are weekly, with some additional incidental dividends occasionally (ASICMINER has hinted at larger deal they may make which will be reported quarterly).

This is not your normal mining bond or fund, so calculating ROI on dividends is less required if share value maintains or increases, as you might be able to sell your position at profit after several weeks/months of collecting dividends. Normal mining assets depreciate in value over time, which is less likely with ASICMINER because they also sell hardware and have committed to adding another 1000TH+ of self-hashing by the end of the year.

If they reach their goals, a share in ASICMINER will likely grow much faster in hashrate-owned-per-share than any other mining stock on the market.

The last dividend includes sales for 180 hardware units sold at 50btc each. They have since been selling those same units made-to-order. They also have 10,000 USB Miner units they have been selling in bulk.

There are many things that can affect this stock and its dividend yield over time, but for now it's a cut above most bitcoin investment opportunities. Do your research, and make a plan for your investments.

Looking for more bulk sellers!
