1) You won't get many dividends if at all during the first quarter. They are interested in mid to long term investments, not day trading. Thus they need time to get more investments made that appreciate in value. There are no magical dividends to be calculated, it is all based on math.
cross platform arbitrage is daily trading on the spread of fiat currency and cryptocurrency in various markets and can be very profitable it's all explained in the whitepaper.
That is controlled by pumpers and by exchanges deliberately engaging in price manipulation.
There is only one way to responsibly invest the money, and that is to get into ICO's that solve real world problems. They will not be doing much else with it because to do otherwise would be to invest in pump and dump schemes (of which there are hundreds here on this board), and potentially lose all their money (and reputations).
I know what the whitepaper said, I wouldn't bother thinking TAAS will somehow magically daytrade profits into existence. What do you think your dividends will be, 1 dollar per token/quarter? Then they'd need to whip up 8 million for you in 3 months, that's a lot of daytrading, and a lot of opportunities to get it wrong. Daytrading is, in general, stupid.
They should (and will, based on what we've seen) invest sizable sums into new projects that solve real world problems because it is a responsible way to drive value for the fund. There will be no participation in pump schemes. Note the investments thus far: the guy who invented Java, and a company looking to solve ID problems using blockchain. Serious stuff, not garbage.
