Total amount paid on AutoDiv in the form of Dividends (excluding fees): 39958.024 NXT. Total Invested in IPO: 38180 NXT. Total ROI: 104.65%.
I know I was an original investor and I'm at 294% total return including some sales. I hope you're considering some of those ideas we talked about on Twitter yesterday. I think a few simple changes can help improve the project profitability overall. You've done a great job and now you can tweak a few things that need adjusting IMO.
You are right. Areas I have discussed with several investors.
1) AutoDiv has already returned a positive ROI and is now being 'day traded' by active traders and bots. Those who have held since the beginning have been made whole. Do not forget that I also gave 5,000 of the original 14,454 to early adopters so their reward has been tremendous. Plus everyone has been able to sell at a profit since the end of the ICO period. It would be easy to take the original 1.64BTC of capital and incorporate it into AutoDiv3 while suspending dividend payments on the first offering.
2) AutoDiv3 has become relatively illiquid as 'traders' buy and then dump in order to take the dividend or just to clip a small profit on the trade. I am instituting a rule that precludes this from happening. Any trader who has a block of AutoDiv3 for sale at any point in the one week prior to the dividend payment is no longer eligible for dividends. It seems only fair that since they are trading and not holding.
With these two changes implemented it will be easier to market AutoDiv3 because the two markets have caused confusion with several new investors I have spoken too. Paying 4 times monthly will decrease fees and the time it takes to manage the payment part of the asset.
I am opening to listening to feedback but several people I have spoken to privately think these are good ideas based on where the assets are now.
