Wasn't there some ETA for the first dividends to be paid out? I can't recall what I exactly read about that. I might also be mistaken. Anyone?
Need Dapps first and then people using the Dapps. Currently, Eight (Dapp infrastructure and RPS) and Bookie (decentralized sports betting) are the expected releases this year with Sweeps (Decentralized Lotto) due sometime early next year.
There is some interesting news that was released today on the Telegram channel though...
eXeBlock’s President and CEO Jonathan Baha’i was the founder and principal designer of PeerPlays, a leading blockchain technology or DAPP designed to be used widely throughout in the gaming industry. Alexei Dulub, lead front-end programmer in the development of PeerPlays, will be a key member of eXeBlock’s senior management team. eXeBlock employs a team of blockchain programmers currently developing two innovative blockchain DAPPs. eXeBlock will release proof of concept and white papers outlining the operating parameters of the first DAPP by the end of the calendar year, and the second in the first half of next year. Specifics relating to the DAPP’s purpose, market potential and operating protocols will remain confidential until the white paper release date. Further, eXeBlock has plans to launch a minimum of two blockchain based DAPP each year.
Link to Canadian Press ReleaseEssentially, a private company is dedicated to producing more Dapps which means there might be more in the pipeline then what I listed above...which is pretty awesome. Here is a link to Jonathan's Steemit post on the topic -

Pretty exciting!
Edit to Add -
I'm not sure about dividends... I do not even see a location in the wallet where this may show up.
Don't quote me but I am pretty sure that the dividend code is inherent within the blockchain which means that dividends will just automatically show up and be found as a wallet transaction wherever that is listed. I don't there is a dedicated space...unless you are talking about dividends from crypto other than PPY (like BTC and whatever else gets voted on). If that is what you are referring to then I think there will be a wallet upgrade when that functionality is ready (which was mentioned to be Q4 of this year...probably/hopefully around Bookie release).
But that is my presumption/guess. I don't actually know.
