so, the new blades are pre-selling in China, sold several hundred, already. Hopefully, FC will get these for sale this week so we can get these sales on the dividend!
for anyone keeping count:
217 minis @ 9.88 btc = 2144 btc
110 blades @ 18.88 btc = 2077 btc
total - 4221 btc = .0105 per share
I guess it'll work as an upper bound (the sales dividend could not be greater than that), but we don't know the cost to produce the devices.
The way I look at it, it shows that there is a real demand for something that is not even for sale, yet. This was for basically one distributor in one country. I think that bodes well for shareholders. As soon as these things go up for sale, we will be looking at a major dividend boost.
