I'm interested in what happened in Africa in the 1990's and 2000's. In many parts there infrastructure is poor, and liable to being unmaintained, stolen, or destroyed by conflict. Many parts of Africa have good mobile phone networks, though, as they're relatively cheap to deploy and can be deployed in numbers to provide redundancy (or even just moved around on trucks). If you said to a villager in many parts of Africa that his mobile phone can generate $2 a day if it does Bitcoin, he'd probably offer his daughter to you.
I've had a couple more thoughts riffing on this idea over a glass of wine. Yes, it is after 5 where I am. Make the chips as cheap as possible, maybe even *pay* mobile phone makers to bundle them into handsets. Consider collaborating with other leading Bitcoin miners to fund development. Design goals are the best performance possible with low power. It will be designed to go into a cheap phone, so sleek design is not so important, i.e., the phone might be a "brick" with a larger battery. Great idea. The bitcoins on phone can be changed to credit automatically. A phne that makes its own free credit. In some places in Africa, cell phone minutes are actually used as a type of currency. Once someone figures out how to implement this idea (although I am skeptical until batteries can put out a lot more juice), OR trade bitcoins via SMS, I think we will have a MASSIVE market that opens up in Africa. Not just in Africa, the whole world really. Everyone uses cellphones and everyone wants free minutes.

Why didn't he sell all 10,000 then and become a millionaire? Because there isn't enough demand. There was already a price drop when he posted he was selling 2k, imagine selling 10k..

Sorry Jutarul your so old that your like a mystic in the post logs Keeps watching the Vets while not trying to be creepy about it hehe Lol. This business is moving so fast that 9 months feel like it happened in a past life. Incredible. It also puts the success of bitfountain into perspective. I considered myself an optimist back then. For those of you who are wondering why I sold at 2.5. It's simple investor strategy - i.e. risk management. Holding bitcoins has a different risk exposure than holding dividend paying stocks. I still believe that 2.5 is a good entry level point for the right investors, simply due to the expected return.

i love how speculation helps keep the share price lower, makes it easier for me to invest more or reinvest profits i hope this goes on for a while I am afraid that there are too many people holding same thoughts.

My prediction 0.014875785217 Remove the last 7 and you've got my MD5 hash. But probably also some sticks have been sold, which will boost the divs a bit

dividends can only be payed on profits which have been realized, that is payments must have been received. Maybe there are some proceeds from sales which have just been finalized this week - we'll see and hope for the best.
edit: this is just about the portion of dividends that comes from hw sales obviously - mining is a different story.
