Update

We are considering some modifications to our policies. They are just proposals, not motions. We won't be holding votes on them immediately. Any advices, criticisms and discussions are welcome.

1. Is it OK to always pay 100%(or 95%, fee excluded) when doing the second, the third, and the Nth fundraising, and resume the rate to 35% when they finish?

Reason: (1) When doing fundraising, the dividends will be diluted by new shares. Paying 100% during that time could help us obtain more steady returns.
            (2) It could reduce (N-1) cumbersome motions in the future.

2. Is it OK for the CEO to permanently give up the 5% fee, instead he automatically gains 5% of the new shares issued each time?

Reason: (1) It simplifies dividends calculation and reduces BTC transfer.
            (2) The CEO could cash some out in extreme conditions. (mu in emergency of Bitcoin flow, CEO himself needs Bitcoins, etc)
Downside: (1) The CEO will have more potential to influence the stock price.

Apologize

We apologize for our hesitation towards the Pre-IPO of Gigamining, and our failure to catch the best price on the IPO.
Though 1.3/share is still way better than PureMining and BitBond, we could have done much better.
Sorry to our shareholders. We will do better next time.

Update

The first round IPO has ended. Thanks for all investors.

The time and (BTC/share) of second round IPO is to be decided. If we are doing very well in the next few weeks, maybe it will be sooner than you expect.

Now let's roll up and make a fortune!

Why because I changed my plan twice?  Once to increase the dividend and once to speed up the process to start mining.  Anyway two boards have now been paid for I've a good mind to take all remaining shares and all future issues to be private deals only.  The first dividend should be paid in two weeks and I'm predicating the weekly dividend per share in five weeks to be ~0.00333BTC and if we do issue another 400 shares (maybe privately) the weekly dividend per share will be ~0.0045BTC per share.

It might be off-topic, but thanks for your free advertisement in the signature.

matthewh3, you're not very reliable according to your track record. And through the market history, even a mining company is mining at its full planned hashing rate, the stock price won't have a premium than 10% for 1-2 weeks. So I will wait until your company is indeed mining as you planned. I'd love to pay the 10% premium than lose all of my bitcoin invested.

We reduced the first round IPO from 10,000 shares to 3,000 shares, as allowed by the votes of shareholders.

So, there are merely several hundreds of shares left, and we are on the road of making our money!

Do we have to say anything more about the remaining shares?

Update

First motion
Voted Yea:1098
Voted Nay:17

The motion has been passed.


Second motion
Voted Yea:1150
Voted Nay:0

The motion has been passed.

We have taken action according to the first motion. The second motion now seems to become obsolete since the IPO will probably finish before the end of this financial week.

I pay £0.11185/$0.15kWh and if the difficulty goes right up or the price falls out the electricity costs per board are only £0.75 a week for 10 bitcoins at the moment so even if BTC dropped to $1 (or $2 after the block reward halfs) we could still keep the boards running and issuing dividends.

No only one at $999 but a BFL-Single would take over 8 months to pay for its self but with only 6 months warranty!  This board will take up to 16 months to pay for its self but then will still have 8 months within warranty of a guaranteed profit.  Also got feed up of waiting for the BFL that was a major reason of switching to this.

hmm. what's your power bill? BFL single @ 830MHash/s@80W@$599 + $75to$150 lost mining op time waiting (risky tho) = are you paying that much more in power (or projecting that level of difficulty) that it's worth the premium?

but, as they say, one in the hand is worth two in the bush

EDIT: at $999 it sounds much more betta - are you getting more at that?
 

Yes the boards nearest competitor is two of the new X6500 boards (and they come without heatsinks) and this board works out cheaper.

Did I get that right?
800MH/s@40W@$1129

 

Plus once the IPO is over I'm holding a motion on whether to issue another 375 shares at 0.31BTC each to pay for board #3 which should take the weekly dividend to ~0.00450BTC per share each week or withhold dividends for approximately two to three months to complete the purchase of board #3 in which case the dividend would end up ~0.00500BTC per share each week.

I'm also taking pre-orders for these new boards to be shipped within three weeks at $1129 (RSM board #1 cost $999   ) for 1BTC commission finders-fee until the new company goes public which I expect this Monday or at least before next Friday as my board should be delivered by then and be hashing away with photos published.

edit: twelve months warranty (may be two years [have to check])

Board #1 will be shipped by no later than this Wednesday (11/04/12[04/11/12]) board #2 will be shipped within three weeks each board operates at ~800MH/s@~40W I'm predicting the weekly dividend (assuming all shares are sold) to be ~0.00333BTC per share each week.

Ahh...Music to my wallet.dat

I watched that there is a large buying of muBit today.

The motions are still lying there, I don't know why. Maybe it's because there are some inconsistency with timing in GLBSE. So, whoever those made the huge purchasing are, you are on the way of making one of our motions obsolete! I love you guys.

We've already seen your announcement in another thread, thanks.

Glad that you and Nefario have finally solved it out.
