Would I have a problem with 5-10% of my payout being spread amongst upstart Merchant services like Coinbase or hardware companies like KNCminer and any number of the ATM companies or exchanges like Cryptsy or development services like stress testing verticoin? Nope.
cryptostocks.com allows you to invest VC style into various crypto projects and get dividends paid. they have a high min withdrawl, but its kinda neat, take your mining from one day a week and invest it into something
Thanks for reminding me. Maybe It's time for another look. I hemmed, hawed and kicked the tires on the Cryptsy shares a day or 2 after they were announced.
I'm sure there have been others, maybe several, better suited for investment than Cryptsy. I was just familiar with Cryptsy at the time and despite its growing pains and questionable timing on what appear to be occasional deposit/withdrawal delays, I think BV has done a decent job with it and I like his approach to an open market as compared to say BTC-e when it comes to adding coins.
I probably should have tried to get more info but assumed that what I was seeing was all they were willing to disclose at the time.
I would assume it's the norm for a typical VC to have a bit more access to detailed financials/business plan type of info before investing, albeit under non disclose, non compete conditions.
Even so I don't coinsider ha haha hahahahaha , myself to be a competent judge of capitol worthy ventures especially given the technical nature and sheer volume of all these possibilities. I could see that as being a full time job for, well tech VC's.
That said I get your point though.
