The hardware already owned + the already pre-ordered ASIC. Are they being GIVEN to the company by you? SOLD to the company by you (If so, for how much?), loaned to the company by you?

I love how due diligence is significantly up these days.

Thank you for providing an opportunity to clarify this point.

Right answer.

Holy hell, we've grown as a community?!

These items are being given to the company and will be 100% owned by shareholders.

Imagine a scenario where you only ever sell 100 shares. Do those 100 shares (and your own 25) then own the hardware (plus the cash from the 100 sold shares)? If not, what relevance does the hardware have to the offering?

I've imagined such a scenario, though it's not my favorite version.

I don't expect that to happen once my commitment to this endeavor is demonstrated.

After how you started DMF (for those who don't know it was given a small portfolio of shares before sales even started - adding great value to the IPO), wouldn't surprise me if you were giving them - and hoping that would generate enough sales that your 20% would cover it - it sure worked well for DMF. But would like to be sure.

I choose to look at it as a long term commitment to a business startup. Businesses require initial funding, as well as effective management to succeed, I'm committed to providing both of these things.

The buyback at 105% of the 7d average price is a much better option than some of the others I've seen which can buy back at the IPO price whenever they feel like it regardless of the current trading price. I feel it would be fairer if additional offerings don't follow this 4:1 ratio scheme. Good luck with getting the stockholders to approve any issues following this scheme.

I added the bolding

I thought about this for some time prior to writing the contract and the primary reason I chose to maintain this ratio for all offerings is because I'd like to keep investor shares unencumbered and it's not difficult to envision a scenario where expenses could grow significantly. While ASICs are efficient compared to GPUs they still use power, PSUs & cooling systems croak and have to be replaced, etc. I also wouldn't feel comfortable hosting a large number of ASICs owned primarily by others without insurance & additional security. I agree it's a tough sell down the line, but if we're all making money, then who knows where this thing could lead.

Thanks for the vote and the comments.

I've successfully launched and manage two funds currently([LTC-GLOBAL]LTC-DMF and [CRYPTOSTOCKS]AGLTC), but this is my first stock. If there is something that is unclear in the contract or someone has a suggestion that would provide additional clarity I'd be happy to hear suggestions. The stock is not open for trading or moderator approval at this time. This is the time to work these things out.

When are you planning on unlocking the asset? When you receive the asics?
Looking forward to invest in bASIC. I hold a few DMF shares at the moment and I really like the transparency. If you continue that with bASIC it should be a successful stock.

PS: You should fix the profile links.

I'm hoping to unlock it for approval this evening and begin trading as soon as it's approved. As I'm a miner and have been for 1.5ish years I have a modest revenue stream to share until BTCFPGA ships bASIC units. In fact due to the way in which I've structured the IPO and the fact that expenses come only from dividends on my own shares I will be in the red for some time as revenue from the GPUs will no longer be paying the electric bill.

Thank you, I've enjoyed creating and running LTC-DMF, and one of the first thoughts I had with regard to creating bASIC-Mining was that I would be unable to add it to LTC-DMF's portfolio due to the obvious conflict of interest. I intend to manage bASIC-Mining in the very same transparent fashion.

I had no idea there was a problem with the profile links. What happens when you click them? I believe you have to be logged into BTCJam to view profile information, I don't know a way around that, other than a screenshot.

Edit: Profile links fixed.

So at a full sale 6250 shares will be out of which 1250 will belong to Eric Corlew. At 0.33BTC you value the entire company at 2062.5 BTC or approx $28k at today's exchange rate.

Also on the 4:1 distribution base I think it is unlikely more shares will ever be issued if a majority of shareholders is required to agree.

I intend to issue only 5000 shares in this IPO including the shares issued as a founder's stake. I apologize if this was unclear. I have fronted the capital for the pre-ordered bASIC01 and all mining hardware. It's difficult to determine the future earning potential of this hardware as it's not yet available and there are many variables affecting it's potential future revenue(difficulty, time to market, future BTC price, etc...). A now closed batch 1 bASIC01 has the potential to earn many times it's purchase price over it's serviceable lifetime.

Funds raised by the IPO are to be used for the bulk purchase of more ASIC hardware, that would then be owned collectively by shareholders. I realize this is a significant pooling of resources that is why I've included my personal information.

Thanks for posting.

A more detailed list of assets owned by bASIC-Mining is being prepared for posting to the homepage. Until this is prepared here is a summary:

6950x1
6870x1
6850x1
6770x2
5830x1

All GPUs are currently ~~mining Litecoins at present on Ozco.in as this is currently more profitable than BTC mining.~~ mining BTC at bitparking.com.
