Is there an ELI5 about all of this.

To be honest, there really isn't. If you read the OP and some of the subsequent pages, there's some good information there. It's really meant to be more of a sophisticated speculation tool instead of something that everyone can pick up and use easily.

Ok... so i am a little confused (i know it happens alot

) but as long as the post balance dividends are kept , shouldn't the days left continue until they are exhausted?

Everything always lasts until it doesn't Grin

I think you're asking that, as long as there are funds in the balance post dividends, should there continue to be dividends being paid out. Simply yes, there should be - you just need to make sure to pay attention to the NAV/U (the net asset value per unit).

When the NAV/U drops below .0002 BTC (0.2mBTC) then the last payment will be issued to holders of MINE (or MINE/SELL, but it's looking like the End-Game by Decrease/Stagnation might be the way that this will end).

Currently, there are 181.77507234 BTC in the fund and the dividend is 0.00005656 per day, being paid out per unit to 32761 Units.

This equals 32761 * .00005656 = 1.85296216 BTC being paid out per day, so there are 181.77507234 / 1.85296216 = 98.09 Days left of dividends left on hand to be paid out (at the current dividend rate).

The actual amount of days will fluctuate with future difficulty changes and new sales/redemption of EXCH (each sale or redemption of EXCH contributes a small amount to the fund).

Technically, there could be 181 BTC on hand, but if it's split between a lot of units (say 905,000), then you're at the End-Game's final payout (181BTC / 905000 = .0002)

Hope this helps
