rg: that's their plan
Azelphur: which is...well I could get that in a FDIC insured bank.
Azelphur: based on my math of putting 150 BTC in at the first IPO, at current numbers I stand to make 15 BTC a year.
rg: it took forever
Azelphur: hmm, the numbers don't seem to look very good unless satoshidice grows drastically
DeaDTerra: the bonds will be sold and purchased as a 1:1 ratio so no fees there
Azelphur: I suppose technically he is a shareholder if he keeps 90% of the company for himself
Azelphur: that seems to conflict with "100% of the net profits are distributed as dividends to shareholders"
BTC-Mining: So it's around 10% per year or something like that I think?
smickles: yeah, Azelphur 90% of profits stay with evoorhees because only 10% is released to the public
BTC-Mining: Indeed, you can only buy up to 10% of the profits
Azelphur: satoshidice confuses me a bit, they earn 33k btc yearly, 100% of the net profits are distributed as dividends, so how does the people running it make any money? also it says further down that you can only buy 10% of the company, does that not mean that you only have access to 10% of the profits?
smickles: DeaDTerra: i haven't looked at your shareholder agreement, is taking a cut of the divident the only way you plan to be compensated?
DeaDTerra: It took me 1 hours to sign up on Mpex as I am retarded with encryption, the reason why I did it was not for a quick buck but to give a service to the community :)
DeaDTerra: I paid 8 BTC to setup the GLBSE and 20 BTC to Setup the MPex then I will pay trade fees on both GLBSE and Mpex as well as transfer fees for the BTC transfer :)
Azelphur: I'd hate to invest in another bitcoinica :p
Azelphur: does anyone know if satoshidice has a secure arch? do they keep the majority of funds in an offline wallet etc?
smickles: DeaDTerra: that's a good question. did you have to pay 8btc to set it up?
rg: not even for the easy ones
rg: i cant seem to win with the small bets
rg: i lost a couple .5 ones tho
DeaDTerra: seems like I am getting some shit for the admin fee, what would be a more appropriate admin fee?
DeaDTerra: okay :) I will keep that in mind
smickles: (i placed it here b/c it's off topic in that thread)
smickles: DeaDTerra: i just wanted to point that out to you since it seemd to be a question
DeaDTerra: Okay cool, I don't like automated though xD I like manual :)
BTCHero: i get that it pays what isn't paid to a and b but surely there aren't many investments over 2%
BTCHero: What does nyanc do now that pirate is gone

EmanuelDeOrtego: Nah, you think?
EmanuelDeOrtego: but the chances
mircea_popescu: EmanuelDeOrtego they could in principle lose the house, who's to say someone doesn't get lucky on the 64k x thing 18 million times in a row
EmanuelDeOrtego: Are you talking about that woman who thinks not being entitled to birth control is a war against women?

mircea_popescu: sooner or later people will realise the value of revenue stream in deflationary currency.
mircea_popescu: not that many real revenue streams in btc.
rg: as even their webste says they pay out 99% of profit
rg: i think its interesting everyone wants to invest in satoshidice
gabbynot: i'm staying out of that game - i don't know either way
Chaaaang-Noi: 42 cents on the dollar is pretty good
EmanuelDeOrtego: I think somebody knows Pirate has failed.
mircea_popescu: it's already 42 cents to the dollar ?
kakobrekla: i think we should not be using past tense since there are still ipo shares to be bought
mircea_popescu: not my fault the guy's name infringes copyright :D
mircea_popescu: for the record, i never mined, because of either being lazy or not thinking im good at it, whichever you prefer.
