Noticed a pretty large uptick in seat price recently... what gives with that? I'm not aware of anything crazy going on.
The valuation became pretty attractive from an investor standpoint. In addition, there have been several positives lately.
BFL is actively refunding cancelled orders making it appear very likely that we will have additional BTC on hand after repaying the old debtors. Donated hashrate is at an all time high. NastyPool is growing in recognition. NastyMining purchased 300 seats and donated them to the NastyPoP payout method to encourage more NastyPool miners. 22 - 5oz minted seats have already pre-sold with many others expressing interest. We sold our 150th 1oz Minted Seat.
NastyKeno has launched, showing how easy alternative BTC donation sources could be.
NastyDev has launched, giving developers easy access to Nasty APIs and graphics. We replaced our Monarchs with S5's and put our Monarchs up for sale. We have additional S5's available for fan hosting.
During the same time we have grown our hashing operations and rolled out new goods/services, other "securities" that could be mistakenly viewed as our competitors have disappeared, or halted operations.
