For those of you who are invested into Antshares (soon to be NEO), you may be able to make some more income for doing nothing but hodling the currency. Most investors don't actually know this, but when you purchase Antshares you are actually given ownership to a part of their company, similar to a 'real' company on the stockmarket thus paying out dividends. These dividends paid out are called antcoins, which are not listen on exchanges yet but are currently similar to ether on ethereum and are considered to be of value that can potentially rise with the increase in antshare value, let alone if they can eventually be traded.
There are multiple ways in which you can collect your antshares but basically you need to have this currency stored in a wallet, not an online exchange (otherwise the exchange collects the antcoins). My recommendation would be on the official antshares wallet, available on their website as shown here https://www.antshares.org/Download
All you need to do is transfer your coins into an antshare wallet, and then you are available to claim your coins, which pay out daily! Crazy stuff.
If you are interested in this and would like to look into it more, this reddit post explains the process in more detail. https://www.reddit.com/r/Antshares/comments/6j2zw5/everything_you_need_to_know_antshares_vs_antcoins/

haha exactly! Im pretty sure atm the divvies are not too big at all, but once they can become traded who knows how high the price can go up.

Thanks for sharing the useful Reddit link as well as the information on earning dividends! Just curious - do you know if you can earn Antcoins if you store Antshares using the web wallet?

No problem :) Just guessing here but i'm gonna assume that you probably can't earn the antcoins using a web wallet, and to be certain would be to download the wallet itself. But im not 100% sure on this one!

Thanks yeah I did a little searching and I think you're right. I can download the wallet but I am super paranoid about using any windows wallet from a source I don't yet trust (there doesn't appear to be any Linux wallet available)!

some guy called it the "chinese Ethereum". What's your opinion?

Honestly I think its great that china supports it, and because of that it may go far. But considering its the Chinese 'Ethereum', it may be better for users to stick with ethereum for platform development that has been well established, rather than using a much smaller crypto with a similar purpose.
