I am still trying to figure out why this is bad or good.. I mean I could buy like 900 shares today and earn $2 per day for the dividend...

Is the real risk that the price per share is too high??? (they are low now compared to what they IPO'ed for???

Will the Dividend go down or will more supporting shares be purchased to keep the Div up as Diff increases??

To me the Div payout seems really good compared to most other stocks I have been researching on bitfunder???

Currently a BTC-for-BTC investment in this stock pays more dividend than AM shares. As mentioned previously in this thread, however, the dividend for this share is inversely proportional to current difficulty as the share represents a constant hashing rate. If you do the figures, the current share price of ~0.004 will be paid for with dividends in less than a year (do the maths yourself, as every investor should! an excel spread sheet will suffice) if you assume a fortnightly difficulty increase of no more than 10%. Recent times have seen difficulty jumps of much more than this, say 20%, and people have become scared that this will continue - hence all the furor in this forums about mining bonds being "scams".

Simply put - at the IPO price of 0.007 these shares are almost certain to never pay the investor back. At the current prices, and assuming difficulty stops jumping by 20% every two weeks, the dividends of these shares are quite nice. Buying all shares is a gamble, the gamble you're making for VIRTUALMINE is that the difficulty CANNOT sustain 20% increases.
