My opinion:
From KnCMiner's website for the Neptune miner: "Shipment begins in Q1/Q2 of 2014".
That's not very precise and mining difficulty is increasing all the time (every 10 days or so).
https://www.kncminer.com/news/news-69So, I would say, you are selling shares of the miners because you don't know yourself when exactly you'll receive them and how much you'll be profitable mining with them or even profitable at all given the mining difficulty increase we have seen in the last months. You're even smart enough to say that you'll stop mining when you costs aren't covered anymore so that you won't lose money. So, with this, you don't risk anything while customers take all the risks upon themselves involving the risk of not having any ROI at all.
Am I mistaken about it?
We believe in growth of Bitcoin, after all Minershare wouldn't exist if it wasn't for past growth of Bitcoin.
There is no business that doesn't have any gains. We do have gains indeed. By doing this, we reduce risk, w also get an amazing 20% return in two months even before the mining starts and opportunities to prove ourselves to the Bitcoin public. In return we provide miner shares for anyone interested and anyone who was late on buying the Neptunes. Mining is self regulatory and we believe that there will always be ROI with top notch mining hardware.
People will always say that mining doesn't ROI etc. Take a look at this comment and the reply:
http://startbitcoin.com/#comment-1189 A year ago people said the same. Even when Bitcoin was worth $6 people said that "you've missed the train" or "bitcoin mining is dead". Makes me wonder, what makes everyone mine if it's been dead for years.
You are mistaken if they just take the money and deaspear.
"Can we have more information about the company, the address, the owners etc. There's nothing to stop the company from vanishing into thin air..."
That is definitely not a problem. For serious buyers with larger orders we offer providing our ID's and further information about us.
People knowing our address, having ID copies and the fact there is a shipment worth $100k coming doesn't seem too safe for our customers. I hope you can understand this.
