On the surface (assuming peta or havlock or both are not scams) it looks like a wildly good investment compared to your standard (non bitcoin) security.

Did you mistype or actually mean that you think this is a wildly good investment compared non bitcoin securities?
If you meant to say compared to your average bitcoin security (70% of which are scams, 29% mining bonds which always loose and 1% that may be worth something), then Id agree. Of course the prettiest of all piles of poo is still a pile of poo.

I mean, they do weekly dividends and have physical assets.

Physical assets that depreciate much faster than snow melts in the sahara and dividends that are function of difficulty. Have you looked at difficulty or network hashrate charts recently? Yesterday difficulty went up 14.5% and its currently projected to increase >18% in 11 days. That means dividends go down by the same amount, and your physical assets depreciate by about as much, and this is even before the big onslaught; Asicminer based rigs start shipping this or next week, good for a total of 60-100PH (!). Antminer starts shipping its 28nm S3 next week. KnC starts shipping and probably deploying its 20nm this week. Heck, even BFL may finally begin deploying some Monarchs this week, and then there is my hunch that a 28nm Bitfury is just around the corner.

Look, I shouldnt be saying this and talk you in to accepting my short, but honestly, its like taking candy from a baby.

Cryptx is not a scam, its run fairly professionally and to my knowledge honestly (even if in blatant violation of regulations), but its just another mining bond, and one based on hugely overpriced hardware (nearly 5BTC/TH) with very high electricity/hosting fees and a loan that needs to be paid back for the next 2, possibly 3 months. Even if it was a good mining bond, to my knowledge no mining bond ever has produced a positive BTC denominated ROI over its lifetime, or even come close. When cryptx has dropped to around 0.025-0.035, then consider picking up some shares and pray reinvestment is either scaled back or done far more competitively then until now. But right now, you'd be nuts to buy. But hey, if you disagree, striking a deal with me will at least be slightly less nuts, to the tune of ~10% less nuts
