PM sent

I'm expecting shenanigans with tomorrow's dividend payments due to the new "malleability bots".  Since the dividend payments are normally sent using a chain of unconfirmed transactions, any transaction that has a mutated version confirmed will invalidate all the transactions further down the chain.

He (or anyone else) could not completely protect against this other than sending one group, then wait for confirms, then send the next group, etc, but maybe it is possible to improve the odds? What if the final transaction in the chain had a higher than usual fee?  Wouldn't that encourage a rational miner to mine the whole chain instead of piecemeal?

Otherwise, he (or anyone else) would have to watch the confirms and, if it gets off track, reissue all the dependent transactions.  That sounds like a pain in the butt to me.  Of course, I have no idea what his internal system is for generating and broadcasting the payments.  It is possible that he has already considered the mischievousness of others.

Any thoughts?

These dividends have arrived...  almost 12 hours after the other addresses.  Odd....

Is it possible that more dividend transactions are inbound?

I ask because I have 3 addresses with direct shares. 2 received dividends this week. 1 did not.  The one that didn't was the address that received the direct shares from BTCT's shutdown.  It has received dividends for the past two weeks.  This seems odd.

Is anyone else in this situation?

That dividend is incorrect.  The last dividend was on Oct 23 and was 0.00374772 BTC/share.

What you are looking at is likely the sum of all dividends paid previously.

10月7日 or 11月7日?

Did you receive this weeks dividends directly sent to the address you set in BTCT?  If you did, it has gone through.  If not, it hasn't.

I can tell you that at least some of the transfers have gone through because my dividends came direct from ASICMiner this week.

I think (hope?) at least some shares are in limbo.  My shares are no longer on BitFunder nor have they made it to Havelock.

I'm being patient for now as TAT must have a lot of work to do.

Shouldn't it be the other way around?

KNC is shipping.  And, apparently, exploding.

Franchising income shows up on difficulty changes.

Done. Thanks.

Regarding pre-IPVO shares, do you want emails regarding them now or would you prefer us to wait until the dust has settled from this BTCT stuff?

Where did this come from and why is this the first time that I'm seeing this?

No. It means that the node that first relayed the block to blockchain.info's servers was located, according to their geoip database, in Chicago.  While it is possible that blockchain.info got it directly from the miner, it isn't certain or even likely that the hardware was located in Chicago.  As an example, look at several of Asicminer's blocks.  They come from all over.  The last one came from Dallas.  The one before that came from Germany.  In this particular case, it is very suggestive since all three blocks came from the same geographical area, although not the same ip address.

What are the extra expenses in April 2014?

4TH/s for a week should, theoretically, generate 160-ish BTC.

The contract says they will hold back 20-30% for reinvestment.  That leaves 112 BTC for distribution.

112 BTC/10,000,000 shares = 0.0000112 BTC/share

That number won't be accurate since they are solo mining.  That means their income will have around a 25 BTC granularity.  160 BTC/week also assumes absolutely average luck.

Jere

You will need 250 XBOND shares.

It looks like friedcat refunded the 200BTC fee: https://blockchain.info/tx/b18abce37b48a5f434f108ae7ce34f22aa2bfbd9eb9310314029e4b9e3c7cf95

And they're gone...
