It seems your argument is that because I make BTC doing this that I am somehow doing something wrong.
You have to admit there's kind of that vibe here on the forums. I've notice that kind of reasoning in many other threads as well. The whole, "No one should make money off of something other than me!" It trips me out how dense some people are.

Hi, i noticed that as the difficulty increases the BTC / Bond decreases is there a direct relation to this or is there another factor involved?

The weekly dividend is 35204/difficulty. If the difficulty changes say 2 days into a week, it would be 35204*((2/7)/difficulty1 + (5/7)/difficulty2). Simple as that, it should have nothing to do with the price of BTC, electricity or anything else.

The more miners that mine profitably the more that do mine. Which in turn effects the difficulty.

There is, the dividend is simply a constant divided by the difficultly. No other factors enter into it. Various things might affect the difficulty, but that's not what he asked.

There is more equipment hosted elsewhere, but does not have bamt installed so there are no nice monitoring pages.

Hi dishwara, The simple answer is that the difficulty changes do not correspond to coupon payment periods. When the difficulty goes up in a particular week, you get part of the week at the old diff and part of the week at the new diff. On the day that the difficulty changes, which ever difficulty is more favorable for bond holders is the diff they get for the entire day. So since difficulty has been going up, this usually means a smaller payment from the previous week. Lately, the next week is at the new, higher difficulty for the full week so this payment would be small than the previous week when we have two different difficulties for the week. You will also notice that when difficulty goes down, payments will increase each week. Hope this helps. Best, gigavps

As the price of Bitcoin has gone up significantly since the Teramining announcement, will the fee for exchanging Giga shares for Tera shares be lower than 0.25? If so how much would the fee be if, for instance, Bitcoin is at $11.5 when Teramining launches?

I have given this a lot of thought, and right now I am leaning towards the price staying at .25 BTC per bond. We'll see as the time gets closer, but expect to pay the .25 btc if you want to upgrade.

Seems pure btc to me. Bond is priced in btc, coupons are btc, upgrade is priced in btc.
It's a bitcoin economy. Can I buy shares in direct barter for asparagus?
I did think it a bit odd when gigavps first mentioned that the fee could go down because of a change in exchange rate, but I figured I'd ask anyways.

Giga, any news on when the update will be done?
I have registered my intentions to upgrade but at the moment I'm purchasing more shares, so please tell me how this will move forward.
thanks ian
