[BTC-TC] Deprived Mining Speculation (DMS)

[Deprived]

I didn't notice before today's report but we had our first CIPHERMINE.B1 dividend today:

2013-09-16 07:35:33    38234    ฿ 0.00003850    ฿ 1.47181783

That would account for the fairly small drop in NAV/U today - I didn't notice as the drop was always going to be a bit lower than normal because of high (compared to other recent trade levels) PURCHASE sales.  I won't be reporting these generally - though if anyone ever wants I can paste a list of received dividends.

Hi,

I'm about to buy shares.

Straight question..  Is this working?

Sarcasmes are welcome as long as I get my answer

Is what working?

The transfer bot is working.
Dividends are being paid according to the defined plan.
People who get the price wrong will be losing money to people who get the price right (though we won't know for sure which are which for a while).

If you meant something else then please clarify.

I'm a novice and I suppose I'm asking you guys if its worth buying stock.

But you've answered the question nicely.

I'll keep an eye on the prices and buy a small amount.

If you don't understand how it works you're honestly probably better off NOT buying it.  And that holds true for most securities around.  The single piece of advice I'd give to anyone asking me what securities to buy is not to buy any - if you don't already know which to buy from your own research then asking on a forum isn't that likely to end up with you making a profit.

As far as DMS is concerned if you buy and hold PURCHASE then it's likely that in the long-term you'll make a tiny profit if you just hold it.  Too tiny a profit to justify it in my view.

If you buy MINING or SELLING then you MAY make either a profit or a loss.  You have to decide which (if either) is the correct one (it's entirely possible for neither to be worthwhile at any point in time but impossible for BOTH to be signficantly profitable).  The current prices represent (by definition) the point at which there is an equal amount of money betting on both sides - but some of that money may well be better informed than the other side.  Unless you believe your judgment is better than the money-weighted view of the market as a whole then an investment by you is just a gamble.

And remember that if you accept investing in this without being better informed than the market as a whole is a gamble, then investing in any other PMB-type investment at a higher price per hash is the same gamble but with worse odds.

MINING will generally act like a 5MH/s PMB, so if you just want cheap PMBs, buy it.
SELLING requires some reading first.

LOL. You are implying that buying a PMB requires no knowledge or skill -- and that is completely wrong. Most people investing in mining are losing tons of money because they are not doing the necessary research and are generally ignorant of the economics of mining.

No, I didn't mean it required no knowledge. I was just saying that it's easy to understand what is PMB and its dividend calculation is straightforward. There are other PMBs on the market which act the same (a PMB is a PMB). SELLING, on contrast, is a fund with unique rules, which are not so easy to understand.

If someone is going to buy PMBs (after he has done his math), he can just buy MINING. No precise knowledge of DMS mechanisms is required in this case.

Bit of a drop in J-D today - though not until after I'd made the withdrawal yesterday.  If anyone's interested DMS is in profit by ~27 BTC from investing in J-D.

Actually it isn't a troll - though it isn't 100% accurate.  Will be making a post about it myself in about half an hour.

Yeh, your both right,  I don't know enough to slash on anything at the moment.

BUT, I do want to do something.

How about if I buy BTC and sit on it?

Offer is always taken down each day at around the time of dividends/report.  Once I've checked the accounting and that the new price is correct a new bid gos up.
