Again, nice to see that the management are paying themselves a $12,500 base salary a month each on top of huge stock options.... and yet can't pay their debts.
They also note that they've raised millions and millions and millions in fresh cash this year.... but not paying their debts. That is, apart from the debts and loans to their management which are promptly being paid back with interest.
I think this is the first time its been stated in plain English, Spondoolies is becoming a subsidiary of BTCS.
So, "we'll go out of business if we can't raise $500k, but we can pay our management $100,000s".
"We're going to keep draining the company for personal gain, creditors and shareholders will get little if we go under".
Not sure they understand that 50% attacks don't magically become possible at the 50.00000001% threshold, just more likely.
If a malicious actor or botnet (a volunteer or hacked collection of computers controlled by networked software coordinating the actions of the computers) obtains a majority of the processing power dedicated to mining on the Bitcoin Network, it may be able to alter the Blockchain on which the Bitcoin Network and all bitcoin transactions rely by constructing alternate blocks if it is able to solve for such blocks faster than the remainder of the miners on the Bitcoin Network can add valid blocks. In such alternate blocks, the malicious actor or botnet could control, exclude or modify the ordering of transactions, though it could not generate new bitcoins or transactions using such control. Using alternate blocks, the malicious actor could “double-spend” its own bitcoins (i.e., spend the same bitcoins in more than one transaction) and prevent the confirmation of other users’ transactions for so long as it maintains control. To the extent that such malicious actor or botnet does not yield its majority control of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network or the bitcoin community does not reject the fraudulent blocks as malicious, reversing any changes made to the Blockchain may not be possible. Such changes could adversely affect an investment in the.
In late May and early June 2014, a mining pool known as GHash.io approached and, during a 24- to 48-hour period in early June may have exceeded, the threshold of 50 percent of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network. To the extent that GHash.io did exceed 50 percent of the processing power on the network, reports indicate that such threshold was surpassed for only a short period, and there are no reports of any malicious activity or control of the Blockchain performed by GHash.io. Furthermore, the processing power in the mining pool appears to have been redirected to other pools on a voluntary basis by participants in the GHash.io pool, as had been done in prior instances when a mining pool exceeded 40 percent of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network.The approach to and possible crossing of the 50 percent threshold indicate a greater risk that a single mining pool could exert authority over the validation of bitcoin transactions. To the extent that the bitcoin ecosystem, including the Core Developers and the administrators of mining pools, do not act to ensure greater decentralization of bitcoin mining processing power, the feasibility of a malicious actor obtaining in excess of 50 percent of the processing power on the Bitcoin Network (e.g., through control of a large mining pool or through hacking such a mining pool) will increase, which may adversely impact an investment in us.
"As long as we line our own pockets", just one of the management stock option grants:
No shit.
Ah ha, here we go, buried on page 63. In 2014 the company had $38k of revenue, $31k of gross profit and posted a net loss of $14.7m. And yet the management paid themselves $8.9m.
