Guaranteed profit is a terrible misnomer for what he meant. He meant guaranteed revenue as if each unit's 1 GH/s is running totally smoothly 24/7 with no downtime. Whether you make a profit or not depends on all the factors it always depends on: rate of difficulty increase, bitcoin price, etc. Given historical rates of difficulty increase continuing into the future, you will not make a profit with this investment, but if difficulty increases slow down considerably it is possible to make a small profit.

3. Guaranteed profit; Compared to others, AMHash1 Fund will pay you dividends based on hashrate equivalent calculation protecting your earnings and shielding you from hardware maintenance cost and risk.



Wondering this too..  what is "hashrate equivalent calculation"  ??

Can I ask why ASICMINER doesn't just point all of the power at existing shareholders?  Why launch ANOTHER company?  What benefit does this have to actual ASICMINER shareholders?

As a long timer holder of AM1 and AM100 on Havelock, what benefit, specifically, would this new asset bring to us?

I believe this is just an efficient way of selling hardware. AM can provide better mining conditions than others can. No shipping is needed, no worrying with sending units back and the mining process would be easier for the buyer.

AM is selling 5PH worth of mining equipment, just like friedcat wanted to, and it is being sold in bulk and immediately.

Who knows how it will turn out.

I had a similar thought earlier as I reminisced of the early ASICMINER days. As a long timer holder of AM1 and AM100 on Havelock, what benefit, specifically, would this new asset bring to us? Especially since we're talking large quantities of ASICMINER-provided mining gear...

3. Guaranteed profit; Compared to others, AMHash1 Fund will pay you dividends based on hashrate equivalent calculation protecting your earnings and shielding you from hardware maintenance cost and risk.

The only way to guarantee profit is to continually cycle out hardware to keep up with energy efficiency and the network difficulty. Are you proposing that this will be done A) free of charge and B) indefinitely?

The fee is 1.89*10^(-8) USD per unit per second. It will be substracted from the pre-fee payout rate. The exchange rate is based on bitstamp 24h average.

In other words, $0.00163 per GH per day.

Exciting to see this new contract!

They are basically selling 5PH worth of hardware without having to ship it.

Why do you think every other manufacturer has launched their own cloudmining services?

Risk control
1. Before IPO closes, ASICMiner has the right to buy back at the price of IPO price * 100.5%.

2. During the first 45 days after IPO closes, ASICMiner has the right to buy back at the price of (IPO price - total payouts) * 120%. The notification period is 3 days.

3. If the delay of payment happens, all unpaid payments will be accounted separately on daily basis and increase by 0.02% per day(flat rate based on the initial unpaid payment amount, no compound rate) after three days.


This is very reasonable and fair.  Hopefully it won't come to that.

As someone who has been burned by mining projects in the past, just want to warn people you will most likely lose money on this Smiley

If the mining rigs were profitable they wouldn't be selling them to you, it's not a charity. Best of luck!

Yes and no. It can be profitable for both as you provide capital upfront that they would have had to wait what ever the contract was to get. This allows faster growth or investment as well as a exact amount of capital for the mining all for the "fee" of the difference between what they raise and what they mine. The investors are taking on the risk of the possibility of not getting the full return however it's possible (and likely if done right) to make a fair profit. But they take on all risk from huge difficulty jumps, legislation making it less profitable, entire company issues such as poor management or hardware failures that they simply can't fix/replace.

All in all yes it's risky and I personally wouldn't invest in it but a reasonable model for the right investor.

Exactly...I will say with AM's you will lose less than with others, but you most likey will not get a positive ROI.
