I am going to take a step back from buying the shares , the dev team and one member of the community in personal message said George is anonymous. This person said he does trust George but I am too risk averse for this.

Just to make sure it is 100% clear, the Gulden shares project is run by a community member and is not something we as the dev team are involved with, we do not have any direct oversight of the project or control over the funds involved with it etc.

While I do appreciate the support the project brings in terms of hash rate etc. there is always ultimately a risk when handing money over to an individual in a situation like this, that individual ultimately has complete control over the money you entrust them with and it is out of our power to ensure that everything goes smoothly, some caution should always be exercised in terms of how much money you are willing to expose to this sort of risk.

This is not to say that I specifically think George has sinister motives there has been nothing so far that would indicate this - however of course things can go wrong even without sinister motives - at the end of the day as the dev team we have to trust people to make their own judgement on what they do with their money so we leave everyone to make their own decision on this sort of thing, I just feel that it does need to be clear that the dev team is not involved here though so that an informed decision can be reached.
Does the dev team and community have Georges contact details?
I'm not aware of anyone having George's details - however if anyone does I am sure they will correct me.
It is not a project I have followed very closely so I can't really say much more about it than the above.

I want to help support Gulden and the extra mining power is good for the blockchain.

I want 140 share @850 per share is 119 000 nlg every month.

I will sen u 120000 4 7 btc.

That would be 11.4 months to break even if prices stay as they are. Is this a lifetime contract and is the Gulden team involved ?

Yes, it's a lifetime contract.

And both yes and no, on the involvement of the Gulden team. The initial idea was mine, but Hybrid is a joined and worked out startup.

I merely execute the project, but the project itself if owned by it's participants (the shareholders) Wink





OPT out and you get your btc back after earning all that NLG ?

Yes, that option is available. It is explained here: https://community.gulden.com/t/project-hybrid/1424/27

Any payouts in Guldens already received, are not taken into consideration into the equation.


mhh, and what is the difference between mining a scypt-rig by myself and sending you some btc?
i pay you once and get some nlg until you stopp paying? then it is like some odd cloud mining contract?

Litesire, Guldenshares buys up coins from the market also for its shareholders.

Aye.

And in the case the mining part should prove more yielding than it's buy-support part, and daily assets shifted to obtain the best value for it's holders, the buy-support part will remain. A bit less perhaps, but non the less, will continue to do so  Wink

Will the mining part shift more to mining Gulden after the btc halving this year depending if there is a doubling in btc price or halving of mining power.

No. The BTC halving, regardless what it will do with it's price or the total hashes on it's network, are not related in such regarding the Gulden mining part, nor the buy-support part. I'll try to explain:



The purpose of Project Hybrid, is to support Gulden in several ways. In the core, it is yielding Bitcoins through community owned SHA256 equipment. Each day, these yielded BTC's are being spend to acquire Guldens through 2 sources. It has been opted to add a third one, though currently it sticks with 2:
- Mining them (renting Scrypt hardware)
- and buying them from the market(s), such as Bittrex for example
( Hence, the name "Hybrid"  Wink )

Between them two, mining and buying, mining was the more expensive one. Example:
For every X amount of Bitcoin yielded, we could collect 10.000 Guldens from the market through buying them, whilst for that same amount of X Bitcoins we could collect 7.000 Guldens through mining them. Yet with the current conditions, the price of both Gulden and the Bitcoin, it is possible to acquire 9.000 Guldens from the market, whilst we could collect 8.000 Guldens through mining (these numbers are not real figures, but merely to simplify the example).

So what I was referring to, that if (and only if) these line continues to shift in favor of mining being able to acquire more daily Guldens than through buying them, a bigger part of the daily yielded Bitcoins will be spend on mining. The reason behind it, is to obtain the most Guldens for the holders  Wink




What currency is being mined against to bring in the buy support?

I think it is best that George himself answers these questions. Wink At the moment, i think it is btc.

Indeed it is, see the above  Wink




How many shares will 2 btc buy me ?

Shares are 0.05 BTC each, so that would own you 40 shares. The average what Hybrid is yielding thus far for it's holders, is roughly 1.000 NLG per share per month.

If you might be interested in purchasing some, you can do so though guldenshares.com. Simply register, buy some shares, and you'll start receiving Gulden payments just like the rest  Wink

Thanks for explaining. I am interested in putting 7 btc towards this project, is your personal details available to the community in the event something goes wrong.

It is an initiative of George. Gulden team itself not involved. But previous mining project was well done by George.
He has taken it a step further. Read the links above (english as well), it explains a lot, shares are permanent. Opt out options also there. It started as supporting the Gulden network, but now it is more parameters in there.
