Looks like the Cyphermine.B1 bonds were purchased on September 10, 2013 so in a few weeks Deprived will be able to redeem them for face value with no penalty. Maybe that is what he is waiting for. If he can redeem the bonds he can pay all back dividends and close down the fund cleanly.

I hope he uses this opportunity.

   0.00034120 per Mining or Purchase

Mining got less?

Back in March, when I first did the calculation, I accidentally forgot to count the 7-day advance dividends that Deprived paid out to MINING on October 26th.  Those 7 days came to 0.00004503 so the number back in March should have been 0.00029617.  That means that from March to July, each MINING share would have made 0.00003284 in dividends.

Just did some calculations and it looks like back dividends are something close to:
   0.00034120 per Mining or Purchase
   0.00200077  per Selling or Purchase

As of October 25th there were 163054 "Effective Units" outstanding.  That means DMS is about 382 BTC behind on dividend payments.

I finally got around to updating my spreadsheet.

Amount of unpaid dividends as of July 18th, 2014:

   0.00032901   Per MINING or PURCHASE
   0.00216280   Per SELLING or PURCHASE
      
   Effective Units   163054   
   Total back dividends owed:   406.29997924 Bitcoin

Anyone could give an estimation of following?

1) What's the outstanding dividend to DMS.Mining?

2) What's the outstanding dividend to DMS.Selling or if there's any?

We've lost the track for around half a year already.

Here is what I calculated back in early March:

Just for sake of completeness I reached out to fligen via PM:

On November 14, 2013 you said of Deprived:
Quote from: fligen on November 14, 2013, 11:55:16 AM
I do not have his phone number, I do have his personal email with a full name. Let's give him the benefit of doubt for now.

Since then he has gone missing for all but two days in the last six months! Are you now willing to contact him or make public his real name or email address?

Gone November 27 to March 13, about 3.5 months.
Gone March 14 to today, about 2.5 months.

Fligen has stated that Deprived's real first name is "Charlie".  This conflicts with other reports of the name being Jon W.  I hope his last name is uncommon or he will be hard to find in a world of Charlies.

So you sent an email to Jon Walklin and got an unprompted reply to the same question from Deprived?  That seems suspicious.
I sent an email to jon.randomemail@gmail.com before I tried calling Jon Walklin and emailing him. The email I sent to that gmail address basically asked if jon.randomemail@gmail.com, Deprived and Jon Walklin are the same identity.

That makes the reply from Deprived much less suspicious.

I wrote Jon [Walklin] a nice email basically asking him if he is actually Deprived, and if not, if he knows another 'Jon W' in the UK computer forensics field who might be.

Overnight (my time) I received an email from Deprived. He says he's not Jon Walklin, and doesn't know Jon Walklin.
So you sent an email to Jon Walklin and got an unprompted reply to the same question from Deprived?  That seems suspicious. 

Any reply from Jon Walklin yet?

Was there any data of interest in the email headers on the email you got from Deprived?  An IP address?

This is what I have gathered from a few different sources (I don't know them so I can't vouch for them).

Deprived is known IRL as 'Jon W'.
He has done work in the UK as a forensic expert (i.e., in court as an expert witness on IT matters).

Maybe it's this guy: http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/jon-walklin/1a/b3a/a80

BitMinter client v1.5.0beta2 is ready for testing.
New: Overclock support (click tune & tweak button) and identify button (click to flash LED) for Antminer U1

Can you change the code so that it preserves the current overclock setting for 'new' Antminer U1 devices.   When I have to unplug and re-plug the mining hardware the Silicon Labs driver on my MacBook Pro assigns all the Antminers and Block Erupters new device names.  Version 1.5.0beta2 changes the 'new' Antminers to 1.6 GH/s.

Is there a way to fetch the current setting from each Antminer U1 and use that?  It's a pain to have to re-set all five, especially since only one can run at 2.1 GH/s. Especially since I can't seem to get the "Identify" buttons to work (the red LEDs don't blink and the 'share found' green LEDs blink all the time).

The Tune & Tweak UI is very slow on my MacBook.  It often takes several seconds to respond to a mouse click.

did not see the [antminer] tuning setting.
So how did you do it??
In bfgminer I set the clock to --set-device antminer:clock=x0981
the Antminer remembers the setting in the BitMinter client

Just installed bfgminer (on Mac OS X 10.9.2 using the Linux instructions) and successfully set the clock to 2.0 GH/s.

Code:
git clone https://github.com/luke-jr/bfgminer
cd bfgminer
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install
sudo ./bfgminer  --scan antminer:all -o mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u USERNAME -p x --set-device antminer:clock=x0981

After it runs a few seconds you can type 'q' to quit bfgminer and re-start BitMinter with your AntMiner U1 devices set to 2.0 GH/s.

I was getting NO hardware errors at 2.0 GH/s so I tried 2.2 GH/s (clock=x0A81). That got a few hardware errors on four of my AntMiners but LOTS of errors on the fifth.  I switched them all back to 2.0 GH/S.  In theory you can use bfgminer to set them individually...  maybe another time.

Yea, I'm really wanting to be wrong and have Deprived show back up in 4 days when ciphertrade opens. *crossed fingers*
The countdown timer at CipherTrade.com seem to indicate that SOMETHING is happening at 10 AM Eastern US time on January 17th (if my math is right) but that may be the Public Beta.  Until actual trading is in full swing I doubt that DMS-Purchase, DMS-Mining or DMS-Selling shares will be getting any back dividends.
