wow, what is with all the fuss?  I think people are forgetting that operating costs need to be deducted before dividends are paid to us. So, IceDrill is not double charging anyone. They are just letting you see the cost now versus taking it out first before giving you the dividend. Having said that, the shipping cost thing is a bxtch. They could take shipment  to their DC in bulk (which saves a lot of cost), which I can't do with my 1 machine or whatever without paying a lot for shipping. However, for the big investors, I would take the machines in a heartbeat. Why take the risk of any US regulation which will eventually hit any platform that touches U.S individuals?

Please don't convert everything into 'direct' shares. No matter how bad BitFunder is, at least I can sleep better at night knowing that there is a formal system/process in place.
