Sorry I haven't gotten back to this thread in a few days. Firstly, thank you for responding. Let me address your comments below:
1 and 2) Telling me you have 3TH/s is not the same as showing actual proof that you have the hardware to back it up. While topless photos of beautiful women are always a nice distraction, and topless women posing in front of mining hardware would be an excellent marketing strategy, neither provides actual proof of the existence of your hardware. For example, I mine on p2pool and run my own node. Currently because I'm traveling for work, my hardware is pointed to
http://www.coincadence.com. You can clearly see my stats here:
http://minefast.coincadence.com/miner.php?id=1DeVLDoGvkbbB5n3dPvbpDbwiKGjYckCy9. I can post photos of my 8 Antminer S3s as well. This is the kind of evidence we'd like to see.
3) You've got some silver. Thanks for providing the link to the Facebook profile showing it.
4) It sounds like your fees are variable depending on market rates (how the Zloty is doing, etc). Would it make more sense to charge fees in BTC rather than fiat (PLN, USD, EUR, etc)? Your quote of $0.11 per GH/s per month translates into $110 per TH/s per month, which is just about $0.15 per kWh electricity costs assuming your hardware is 1W/GH/s. Obviously this goes back to point 1 - without knowing what kind of hardware you're running it's tough to determine if that's a fair fee structure.
5)If it's only a satoshi here and there, then make the rounding policy consistent. Either always round up, or always round down. Stating that you're rounding up if it's in your favor, but rounding down if it's in the customer's favor is what is referred to here in the US as "Nickel and Diming". It's a relatively meaningless amount, but you're trying to squeeze every last little bit from the customer.
6) I wasn't speculating on whether or not cloud mining in general is profitable. I was asking you to show an example of how YOUR service might provide a positive ROI for the customer.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
re: 1&2
I am happy to show you the hashrate anytime. Again I repeat should this be the amount added to the system that is actually 3TH/s or more? I am aware that we will be scrutinized by the community so at some stage we will provide a link corresponding to the amount of hashing power on the platform. BTW I have posted the pics of the Jupiters and Neptics on the main thread
here, I still await for the photos from my Chinese DC with our logo. And yes I am aware of the marketing potential of tits! I am not sure if this can be arranged at this short notice however. Apart from KnC we use T1 Dragons. Anyway I still wait for the response

re: 4
the fees are in PLN for the reasons I have also explained. It is a temporary solution, the problem is that for the next couple of weeks probably monthe the developers are doing their own projects and work. It is almost not possible to ask them to change it now. But actually I do not see any problem as you correctly pointed out it is $110 per TH/s. If you read T&C you will learn that maintenance fees will be reviewed quarterly and will be then reduced (we have never stated we would ever rise them, we would not). In practice we will be reducing them more often we hope. First one will take place in a couple of days but do not expect any big price slash, it will be one digit %.
re: 5
Imagine that someone is buying 1,000GH/s in 1,000 separate transactions and pays less one satoshi. We could be robbed easily this way. We are not going to change this and I am not going to discuss it any further. You can either accept the rules as they are or do much better business somewhere else.
re: 6
Positive ROI... now you've pinned me down
For now we have much lower prices than a platform we are competing with and lower maintenance fees. We also provide silver backup which is a decent incentive. Actually our product is then much more attractive than their shares which leads to an assumption that it should be priced higher. What we are missing at this stage is the liquidity and goodwill on the market which translates basically to a few k of users. If someone is thinking the same way he would assume that the shares offered now have to go up provided we will be able to attract the new users. So ROI wise I can only say that we have a much better product which is innovative and should reach higher prices than our competition. This is the logic behind our reasoning. And since the market decides of the prices this would lead to ROI for early buyers as long as they buy for the lower prices than offerd elswhere. Discussing ROI purely from mining on your own hardware or from buying cloud hashing contracts is another story which I am not going to tell. Why 1 GH/s costs today some 0.0038 on another platform?? Because someone is ready to pay that amount. Would we be able to find buyers for my GH/s for the same prices or even higher than there? I do believe so.
But again I am not an advisor so everyone has to make the decision on their own. If you have doubts-better go and buy BTC for fiat. We are just trying to provide you with a better product than the rest of the crowd and the best level of support we can.
