Update: Things are running smoothly, we're fast approaching another dividend payout! We've raised almost 70 BTC from investments since the last dividend payout, which is very exciting! I am confident we will be able to afford at least one more rig for next week with the addition of my dividends being reinvested. We're getting closer to the double digit Ghash/sec mark.
I have initiated a vote to pay sharp for making those wonderful graphs for us. Using the time invested from the page (
http://www.shrp.me/sin) and a rate of $13 USD/hour (which has been approved of by sharp), the total amount would be $19.07 USD worth of Bitcoins (determined by the rate on MtGox at the time of the end of the motion.) Motion text is found here, it seemed to bug out again (not my fault this time, it's perfect json!):
{"motion": {"motion start":"Sunday, June 19, 2011","motion end":"Tuesday, June 21, 2011","vote num":"000003","vote issue":"Payment for sharp for services rendered","vote text":"This vote is being held to determine the shareholders' opinions on the matter of paying bitcoin.org forum user sharp for the creation, publication, and continued hosting of several graphs relaying various aspects of SkepsiDyne's output (located at http://shrp.me/sin). A rate of $13 USD/hour was agreed to by sharp, which would amount to a total of $19.07 USD to be paid out. The method of payment will be in Bitcoins, at the exchange rate listed on MtGox.com at the end of the vote. The payment will be sent to the address listed on the page the graphs are hosted on: 1QBJzkYVz2c8K1fvCAsKn2gpqjV2uXPgv1. There have been no binding contracts made between SIN and sharp, nor does this vote establish or imply any such contracts. A vote in favor (yes) will support paying sharp $19.07 USD worth of Bitcoins for services rendered. A vote against (no) will be against paying sharp $19.07 USD worth of Bitcoins."}}
I appreciate the insight about the legal issues surrounding the company, and I will be further investigating them with legal experts in the coming days. Once again, it isn't something that needs to be done right this very second, but it is something that needs to be thought about.
Thanks again to everyone who has invested and reinvested!
