Hi, so far you've been one of the most helpful, honest and profitiable (dividend wise) bitcoin venture I've put money into... Are you still waiting for a secure colored coin platform or similar before re opening your doors to more investors etc? I ask this because I'm interested in some more shares...But would also like the abimilty to easily liquify the shares as I see fit..So would only be comfortable trading through some stock exchange medium. Bitfunder doesn't float your boat? Anyway, thanks bye.
If I do issue new bonds it will be in the form of colored coins. But with the explosive growth of Bitcoin in general and in Israel in particular, my other businesses consume roughly 200% of my time, so this is unlikely to happen in the near future.

Bump.

Meni, should you find the time please let me know too, I'd be interested in buying in.
And thanks for your honesty and being an exception around here.

If I do relaunch, I intend it to be using a decentralized platform such as colored coins.

Ok, thanks for the reply Smiley Also this might be a stupid question but why not buy ASICMiner equipment as the upgrade and sell the old hardware verse using BFL and their buy back program?

I've been 'receiving' a dividend from puremining about once a week lately that never confirms. Any info available on this?

See for example, https://blockchain.info/tx/3da8b1ab5f02159b62db4048de2e0ba4e4636cb2ae17540b176bd17a06556db0 from 11/24 and unconfirmed

It's a known problem. Or at least, I know this transaction (from Nov 2) hasn't confirmed, I didn't know you get repeat notifications about it.

The API call to blockchain.info that I used so far used their default fee, which apparently isn't sufficient for this transaction. I've since started paying a higher fee. If the tx doesn't confirm I'll send another tx for the payment, and I hope the unconfirmed one will be forgotten eventually.

The difficulty is now so high that paying the coupons regularly is no longer worth the trouble, for me and I suspect also for the bondholders. I will therefore move forward with buying back the bonds.

The original buyback clause stated the price will be 120% of the GLBSE highest recent traded price. GLBSE no longer exists so that's irrelevant. However, I've noticed that during the time the bond was traded, it went for about 40% of the ELE (extrapolated lifetime earnings). Therefore I believe a buyback price of 55% of the current ELE is fair.

The formula for calculating the ELE for a 1 MH/s bond is

RemainingUnmintedBTC * Hashrate * SecondsInDay * DaysInTwoWeeks / (2^32 * 2016 * Difficulty) =
8439175 * 1000000 * 86400 * 14 / (4294967296 * 2016 * 5006860589) = 0.0002355

55% of that is 0.1296 mBTC per bond, a total of 2.0173536 BTC.

I intend to go forward with the payout in the next few days. If anyone has a reason why I should not, speak now or forever hold your peace.

It is done. The payments have been sent in transaction b9c7cd2a6192818c9c1e2b8824e62361477dfdaa8b340be8d492fd1aac601507.

Thank you everyone for your support throughout the many phases of this bond's 2-year life.

it should be useful to continue to run PureMining in Colored Coins

This is true. But in order to do a service to Colored Coins it needs to be done at a meaningful scale, which comes with a set of legal and operational challenges. Perhaps at some future time.
