[CLOSED] S.DICE - SatoshiDICE 100% Dividend-Paying Asset on MPEx

[ShireSilver]

Fair warning... December is gong to have a huge dividend payout (likely over 1900 btc to the asset holders). If you were ever thinking of owning some shares of S.DICE, do it in the next  24 hours. Holding a million shares will yield you over 190btc from Dec. earnings alone.

1m shares costs roughly 3,700btc right now at MPEX
190btc would be 5.1% yield in one month... and this is legitimate, transparent profits.

And for all you who already own shares, Merry Christmas

Damn, I was gonna buy some more shares, but I'm still waiting on the funds in my Paysius account.

Well Tuesday is the first... So you might still make it

1.4 million shares bought today.  We are almost back to Tier 3 IPO.

[SpaceJelly]

Well I have a small amount of shares, but plan to plough in all mining profits and dividends to more shares until gambling falls out of favour... though the chances of that are rather slim! I can't see Vegas ever going dark!

Someone just spent 10,000 BTC on S.DICE shares!

Only 409,240 shares left before the IPO sells out!

[MPOE-PR]

Quick! Someone tell Inaba the "imaginary" numbers are saluting the quite imaginary mining rigs.

Here's the FAQ http://polimedia.us/bitcoin/faq.html

The FAQ mentions about having to pay a 20 BTC amount to register your GPG key with them.

So does this mean that it would cost each person 20 BTC just to put in a bid for the shares?

Yes.

Also by the end of next week GLBSE will have options available (and the ability to make options) on all assets listed on GLBSE.

I was just looking back at the start of the thread and this post made me laugh. We never did see any options available on the GLBSE.

In his defense, everyone was promising options imminently since about July 2011 if not earlier.

Hi Everyone, we've decided to launch our own S.DICE passthru fund on https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=SDICE to allow others to invest in S.DICE without the need to spend 30BTC to setup an account on mpex (and figure out all the GPG complexities)

We have a public offering of 500 units (for 50000 shares) live right now, and will issue more if demand is there.

1 unit of our fund = 100 shares listed on mpex. 
We'll pay dividends of 95% of whatever mpex pays us.

Cheers,
 James

Congratulations on a successfull IPO.

Now that you are quite a bit richer (or rather, your assets are more liquid now) what sort of stuff are you going to do with all those bitcoins (if you would like to share)?

A nice 8% jump in price has been nice for those of us holding shares. Where are all those people saying this was a horrible stock to hold? Cause it would take "like 10 years to make any money!"?

Well, actually its trading at around 0.0047 now so that is more like a 40% gain.

Plus the dividends paid already... something like 5-7% on top of that. Take that, naysayers.

[Aahzman]

bought a very modest # of units of SDICE on havelock. cautious investor here. :-) don't have a big stockpile of BTC, so wary of committing more than a handful to any one venture.

While not being a fan of the vices, this does present a fairly finance textbook example of a melt-up due to good news. Let me run through the analysis for the fun of it.

Although December had unusually high earnings of 3.2% (17,206.44888669 /537,375.97) the intriguing part is the strengthening of the SD balance sheet to the tune of about 28,000 BTC retained earnings.

To be conservative we will assume the public float dividend were doubled and paid out to the anonymous investor holding the other 90%. After all, the anonymous investor owns 9x more than the public float and would not want to jeopardize SD's solvency potentially having to shutter it due to bad luck and has probably not taken any dividends since they probably have plenty of cash from the IPO and could probably fly private wherever they want with this type of monthly cash-flow.

This leaves about 25,000 BTC of retained earnings which to exhaust would require about -4.795% negative luck on 550,000 BTC of bets compared to the Dec beginning retained earnings of -2.22%. Assuming the anonymous investor has taken no dividends then the luck probabilities change to -5.11% and -2.29%.

In other words, if you do the probability (some other math whiz can solve this if they feel particularly magnanimous) that SD will exhaust its RE's due to bad luck in the dice game and cease being a going concern then it reveals that solvency risk just plummeted massively causing an increase in the expected discounted future cash flows.





Everything else being equal, this additional 15,500 BTC of retained earnings, makes SD much safer of an investment with a much higher NPV which is already corrected for BTC exchange rate risk.

Consequently, a melt-up in the price is to be expected. What is fairly exceptional is that the issuer did not cancel the IPO's at .0037 or at least move the bid up; or maybe the anonymous investor bought them using some dividends. But that is neither here nor there, using a similar risk premium before Dec's earnings would put a price around at least .0075. So it will be interesting to see how long it takes to get there; assuming an average Jan luck.

LOL!!!

I just accidentally brought satoshidice shares on Bitfunder at 0.039 instead of 0.0039.

Wow, that's a stupid mistake but luckily I only lost less than a dollar since I brought 2 shares

Are you saying your buy order did not get the lowest offered shares available? Wtf. The operator keeps the difference?

I assume that it averages the two orders (liquidity provider and liquidity consumer), which is both standard and fair. Warning should have been given though, given the amount at stake.
