Thanks Joe,
I had the last few weeks the pressure at work.
The situation is better now, so I could share the idea that I discussed with you and developers some time ago...
Idea is to build some kind of "Magi price stabilisation project". That's not my idea, I found it somewhere and adapt it..
The project is based on BTC cloud mining (or something like that - LTC, X11). Daily / weekly BTC income from BTC cloud services will be used to purchase XMG on exchanges and to send them to participants (investors) at particular dividend.
But unlike the usual purchases at the sale price on exchange, daily/weekly earned BTC will be used to make buy orders with buy price. There is no instantly buying of XMG at sale price.
And here come some MagiC:
- long-term, BTC income from cloud service is long term, 3, 6, 12, 60 months.. So once invested some BTC in cloud mining provides long term receiving of XMG..
- long-term, "Price stabilisation" builds "buy wall", so Magi price can't drop if someone drop huge amount of XMG on exchange. Participants receive their XMG at buy price..
- long-term, if price go up, and buy orders are not executed, buy orders price will be moved slightly up with the price, that's what is goal of project. Increase of XMG price is what we all want !!
Normally, that is only my idea. Details will be adapted to what the community wants.
There are many BTC cloud mining services, some are good some not, some profitable some not, some reliable some untrustworthy, help and experiences of anyone are welcome..
If there is enough interest, I can start with that...
Historical, thanks for the details posted. I was thinking of this but felt not yet the time, either way it'll be good to see people's suggestions. I was 90% on this project as soon as you proposed the idea some time ago. If there is insufficient amout of BTC invested by the community, I / the magi team will try to raise up the amount. In other means, even without enough support from people, we will try to make it. We can decide how these coins are being spent in this case later on (e.g., team funds if possible). Ideally it will be very good being a project of the community. To me this is absolutely a nice one, and I'd push it forward in any form. I will be adding this as an official project; of course, this project can't be going without you. So I am sure we will have you in a reasonable long period, but let's arrange everything comfortably; I don't mind how much time taken to launch it
. Basically my question is roughly how much BTC you have in mind in order to launch it.
Other than that, like Marcel mentioned, we have to find stable sources which allow mining service at least in one year long.
Joe mentioned this idea. In general, it's not a bad one. But I have doubts if cloud mining in the current situation really makes sense. BTC price is low and many established cloud mining companies are in trouble, probably need to suspend their mining contracts when price goes < $200 again.
In my opinion it will make sense when the price reaches some level of stability at $300 or even higher.
This is a good question; low BTC price also means the right moment for mining though, provided that we can find provider who have good reputation and allow us mining sufficiently long time. We may look into altcoin mining too. Options other than cloud mining might be buying mining rig and get it hosted somewhere, but this could never be an easy task.
Others, ideas?
I really like this idea, this could even out the big fluctuations and boost XMG up a bit. If you go the route of buying a mining rig, I could host it for you providing it doesn't draw 20A of current
If and when you go on let me know if I can be of any assistance.
