Nice has rate, can't wait to see what it is once you get your pre order in,

Me either. Wink I'm attempting to clear my schedule to the point that I can attend the bASIC assembly festivities, but have been only marginally successful at this. Vacationing in NY in January isn't my idea of a great getaway from MI weather, but it's still a possibility.

I've had all five cards hashing at bitparking since LTC difficulty went back up:


The sixth(a 6770) is functional, just producing too much heat in the surrounding cards. As it was the lowest producer I've chosen to remove it until more PCIe risers arrive rather than risk failure in higher producing cards. The risers are unfortunately arriving via USPS and are currently languishing at a post office a couple counties over until Xmas eve. What kin ya do right? I will continue to cover the 200+ MH/s shortfall with the sale of alt coins until the risers arrive and the mining gear is properly reconfigured.

Daily dividend will likely be somewhat early today. Happy weekend!

I just wanted to say congratulations on getting this stock up and running on BTCT-Co and getting the spreadsheet published.

I think that giving the existing equipment as well as the bASIC order as well as covering running costs from your 20% of shares has been a very generous starting gift to investors, and it makes this an extremely attractive investment.

Just to be clear, in the case of closing, I assume all hardware remains your personal property?

I'm not familiar with BTCFPGA. Do you know of a link where I can see how their development is progressing?

And, of course, thanks for the nice first dividend.

This has been a great start, keep up the good work!

Thank you for the kind words. Smiley

No, this equipment has been given to bASIC-Mining, sink or swim. All equipment will be liquidated and the proceeds distributed to shareholders in the case of closure.

First dividend paid. Smiley

0.22875942*.7=0.160131594 dispersed
0.22875942*.3=0.068627826 added to reinvestment fund

Perhaps 8 digits of precision would've sufficed.

Are you going to pay out the dividends per shares outstanding?

Yes. Asset issuer accounts appropriately do not receive dividends on shares held at btct.co, which makes things far easier than they would be otherwise. I will likely transfer founder shares prior to dividend disbursement each day, to keep up with the bills, but dividends should be healthy for early investors. At this moment there are 63 shares outstanding, so after transferring 15 shares the daily dividend would be divided amongst 78 shares.

Just a quick update.

5 of 6 GPUs are mining BTC, current hashrate is 1417.993. One of the 6770s is cranky this morning and I cannot attend to it at this time, so I've taken it down. I'm expecting a shipment of risers and will reconfigure some hardware upon receipt. The hashrate shortfall will be paid out of pocket until the vacationing card can be put back to work.

As there are now 15 outstanding shares of bASIC-MINING, daily dividends will begin this evening.

I'm preparing some wizardry to add more hours to the day. If successful I will use the additional time to work on the spreadsheet and get some more detailed financial info posted here:

How many BTC a week do you expect to be generated?

At which point? You mean following delivery of the company's bASIC01 or prior?

I can only speculate as obviously future difficulty is well...difficult to predict, but a 72Gh/s bASIC01 at current difficulty would be expected to mine 75BTC in 7 days.

One more minor clarification needed.

Contract says:

"For every four IPO shares of bASIC-Mining sold one share will be paid
to bASIC-MINING management as a founder?s stake."

The issue not addressed is what happens if the company itself buys back shares.  Two options I see:

1.  Company not allowed to buy back shares.
2.  If share bought back then 1 founder share returned for each 4 bought back.

I'm sure you can see why one of these two is needed.

Interesting point. You must stay awake thinking this stuff up. Smiley

It's not inconceivable that a situation could develop in which it would benefit shareholders sufficiently to justify the buy back of shares. As such I wouldn't care to rule out the option entirely, particularly as it's mentioned in the contract in the event of closure. If such a scenario did play out, I think it only fair that the same ratio apply, and those founder shares be returned as well.

Should management be unable or unwilling to continue operations of bASIC-MINING, a suitable replacement, designated by management, will be sought out. If none can be found, all outstanding shares of bASIC-MINING will be bought back at a price no less than 105% of the 7d Avg price.

Since the hardware is owned by the shareholders, shouldn't you be saying that the hardware will be liquidated and the proceeds will be distributed to the shareholders? What about the 30% of mining revenue held in reserve? Or, do you intend to keep it?

You are absolutely right. This language was added to LTC-DMF's prospectus prior to trading, but failed to make it into this contract, this has been corrected. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Though, I don't know how you can guarantee to pay 105% of the 7d Avg price. How do you ensure that the 7d Avg price is not manipulated. For example, if people found out that you are shutting down, they would buy as many shares as possible beforehand in order to drive the average price up as high as possible. On the other hand, you could counter that by dumping all your shares onto market to drive the average price down. This could be a problem.

Likely I'd simply halt trading prior to announcing closure. Closing down can be a messy business, someone is surely to be unhappy regardless of how it's handled, I simply chose the way that seemed most fair.
