Update. IPO has started.

As far as I'm aware, cheapest available right now per mhash, since other shares have gone up in price by quite a lot since they started.

I've been told over 6 weeks currently, so maybe up to 2 months before mining starts. It should be a reasonable wait time. They'll be purchased one at a time, as shares sell (or in one block if they sell fast enough.)

On another note, I started converting my home office by adding modular shelving. There will be a lot of extra room for expansion.

Before/After


Next step is hiring an electrician to add extra juice available. I'd rather not have electrical cords running across the floors from wall outlets but have a higher wattage right there. (Cords also being a failure point known as "tripping over cords")

I will also need to install a dedicated computer to run said rig.

Edit: Window is further on the left. I'm thinking about a wall mounted AC unit however.

The question is how long it will take before you really start mining with this hardware ...

When will you order those 3 BF mini rigs? Or have you already ordered them?
Will you wait until you sell all the 10,000 shares?

As the IPO approaches, I'm preparing to get a tidy place for the rig.

Among other things, shelving space to accept equipment.

I also started to browse for fire and theft insurance for the value of the equipment.

All those are covered in the 10% administration fee of course.

Stay around for more updates. I'll take a picture once my home office is suitably converted.

I understand it would be the ideal method for people to check but I only have one OTC-Rating. http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=Namjies&sign=ANY&type=RECV
Imsaguy is the only one who was willing to accept Paypal so I had to turn to exchanges like VirWoX. Can't really help it when people were not willing to trade or give a good exchange rate.

Bitcoins are not the only irreversible thing around however. Lots of digital goods/services are and I got good ratings. Like I said, if you want more references than GLBSE's info verifications and that OTC rating, just PM me and I'll point you to some accounts you can contact elsewhere with good ratings and I'll confirm from those.

An OTC rating would really be helpful.

References? Not really among the bitcoin community. I made one trade directly with a member https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.590481. I usually use exchanges to get bitcoins. I do have good itraders on other forums, been in the web services business for quite some time. If people want to verify those, they can PM me to arrange logging in and confirming from outside sources.

I'm not willing to just give away photo ID scan to anyone, but my business registration required a valid ID when I presented myself and can be verified online.

Click on "Find Enterprise" and search for Namworld or 2266754961 to get it. Nefario should be able to confirm the ID is for the same name. I'll PM him to request it.

Subbed, looks intriguing. I see you've verified ID, any references?

Hello,

BTCMining.ca is a co-owned mining operation where each member owns a part of the equipment (COOP like operation).

It will operate in Montreal, Canada. Initial planned output is (3 Terahash/s) using Butterfly Labs ASICs Rigs and administration fees are 10% as per contract.

FAQ
Many people asks us why we don't offer the same as other mining operations or requests something different, basically wanting more mining bonds. We are simply not offering bonds, but an alternative. We will try to explain why we chose that structure. You can judge whether that makes sense to you and if it is what you are looking for.
 
Q. Why should I wait for the equipment delivery when I can get hashing now? Why should I wait for returns?
Answer: Because you are actually buying the equipment with others. You have a right to 100% of the equipment's sale if it is voted to be sold if and when people want to stop the operation. You get lower administrative fees and better advantages that way for waiting some time and pre-funding your own equipment instead of buying a fraction of a current mining operation.

Q. Why 40% reinvested? What if I want 100% proceeds? Why not issue more share to replace equipment and just give people 100% of mining now?
Answer: Because under that model, we would get more and more shares for simply replacing the equipment, basically keeping the same hashing power for a growing amount of share while still having to sell as many shares at the same price for each replacement. Shares dilution would occur and the operation would die out since people don't pay for the replacement of the equipment power associated to their shares. Getting new shares sales to pay for the replacement of the hashing of your old shares would not be right. Equipment needs to be replaced and extra equipment added for the shares to gain value and the operation to grow. You also need growing hashing power to compete with increasing difficulty.

Q. But other mining operations offer 100%+ Perpetual PPS paid right now! Why would I need to reinvest 40%?
Answer: You get 100%+ PPS on a specific hashing power from current miners' hardware who would then buy with your funds more hashing power then you actually bought with it. This extra hashing they buy is usually an undisclosed amount on which they get their profit and pay for the replacement needed to keep it a perpetual bond. You get 100% of the hashing they agreed to give you. With us, you know the fees are a low 10% because it is a service we provide and you funded the equipment in advance. Although the dividends are a bit lower, the 40% reinvested is all equipment that is added to YOUR part in the hashing power. It's a long term investment with a growth plan. Look at the planned numbers here: Expected hashing and returns

Q. It looks interesting, but I am afraid others won't buy or like it. What if shares don't sell fast enough and my funds are withheld for a long period until we can purchase equipment?
Answer: There's a maximum period for the IPO of 2 months (Ending June 23rd).* It don't think people should let emotion interfere with how they place their money. Ponder whether the terms are interesting and if the wait time is worth it. If you like the terms, the best way to make it happen would be to invest to speed the process and encourage others to do the same thing.

I've negotiated a hashing power deal. I will be privately buying 40 mhash/11BTC bonds with the funds that will be reimbursed by the end of august. See announcement. With the discounted hashing power we're buying, it's currently more advantageous to buy BTC-Mining than other traditional mining operation shares considering you get returns during the funding phase and 100% of funds will still go on the newest hardware.

*I'd still try to get your shares purchased back after on the 23rd June if you still really want to get off. Just request it.

Q. Why not place the money in Pirate Bonds or something else to get returns for people while we gather funds for the equipment?
Answer: For the pirate bonds, there's some controversy about it even if pirateat40 is trusted. Many have doubts about the up to 7% returns a week being even close to realistic or feasible. Many are pro pirate, but many are also sure he will default. Personally I do not believe it is a safe investment. This is a mining only operation and I am offering a professional management service. I am not going to start risking and placing people's money which I've been entrusted with left and right when they are intending to be co-buying Butterfly Lab mining equipment. We are holding those funds for the purchase of the offered mining equipment only.

Q. So it is a long term investment?
Answer: Definitely. And you would still get approximately 3.75 mhash/BTC of dividends with current IPO on the 50% dividends, a better rate than most current titles because they raised in value immediatly after IPO. (Current valued at 2.70 - 3.40 mhash per BTC). That's not counting the massive reinvestment of 40% as an extra. The waiting time should be worth your while. This would be possible because you are funding the equipment yourself, we only service it.
