Investing in satoshiDICE

[acorcos]

I'd like to invest in satoshiDICE but the MPEx stock exchange is too complicated. I even got the GPG program for my Mac and generated public and secret keychains but my mac mailserver disabled the GPG plugin. That's as far as a newbie like me could get. I have been on the bitcoin bandwagon as a "lay person" for well over a year and would like to put some of my coins to work. I've bought some futures contracts on icbit which is very easy to use. Why can't MPEx be more like that or why can't SDICE offer shares on another exchange that is easier to use?

Why can't MPEx be ... is easier to use?

It is deliberately not easy and also has the 30BTC registration fee in order to put off all but serious, tech-savvy investors.  They're not geared to dealing with high volumes of newby questions.

However, if its S.DICE shares in particular you want there are a number of 'passthru' trading sites.  I use Havelock myself which is a subsidury of a Canadian bricks & mortar business, the proprietor of which, James (username lightbox) to be very helpful and responsive to suggestions for change.

I will warn you at the moment there is over 7% difference in price buying via Havelock but that's likely to be because there was substantial trading and price movement in S.DICE the end of the week (mainly on MPEx but with knock-on effects on the 'passthrus' too) so I guess it'll take a little while for things to 'settle'.

Edit:  4.7% difference in ask price now between Havelock and MPEx - I guess some trader was reading my post

Thanks thoughtfan. That's perfect.

Acoros (or any other readers) how much would you like to invest?

I have an account in mpex and I can be your passtrough, I also did with 2 other real life friends.
Everything is listed and transparent on a shared excel sheet (Google Drive). You are free to add, withdrawal your shares at anytime. Within the day I can do it.

I know it's a bit "too nice to be true" that a stranger propose that but yes you have to trust me...

We can have a talk on skype first. I will just charge you with a % on the dividend (depending of how much you invest).



- I have an OTC but without trade, no rating atm.
- I'm an enthusiast bitcoiner and already host an event in Belgium ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=136805.msg1475847#msg1475847 ), maybe you can whitelist me with these info

Cheers

Does anyone know of a good site that shows statistics about S.DICE as an investment?  I'm looking for a site that simply shows the trading price history and dividend payouts.

Thanks.

All about Dividends related:

- Satoshi Dice -- Statistical Analysis
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=80312.740
Every day a graph about the earnings.

Here the last one (thanks & credits to dooglus):

From 33K -> 51K (+18K) this month on all-time earnings.
Yes that's more than 300,000$ expected this month.



Thread about the IPO:

- S.DICE - SatoshiDICE 100% Dividend-Paying Asset on MPEx
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=101902.0
S.Dice is split into 100M shares. A total of 10M shares have been sold during the IPO.



The trading website:

Follow the current share's price.
http://mpex.co/?mpsic=S.DICE


The official public sheet maintained by "the owner" evorhees (he's not exactly the owner, the story said).
Used to update the dividends every month.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aiec3-Eo_yO5dG5SQklHZG4wRm1GMW9DRWpMMW5UQkE#gid=0
(you can see the costs that are VERY low)



Remember I can do the "passtrough" for you with some micro management that grants you to have the better prices for the shares.
This also avoid 30BTC fees for account creation on MPEX.

Just send me a MP
