What exactly do they represent

EDIT: I would be pleased to be your partner in Europe. (If conditions are right)

1 Pre-investment
2 Clear profit model and short return period .
3 hard work of 8 people team from end of 2013.
4 1P hashrate chips of ASICMINER preOrder for the first batch to start up.
5 others.


Thanks for your concern. We are looking for partner oversea and some have already contacted.

Rockxie,

Will there be a guaranteed return on IPO prior to owner shares being paid a dividend like AM did for their IPO?

In other words, will the owner shares be receiving dividends on day 1, or will only IPO shareholders receive dividends until .15 is paid out.

This IPO is intended to improve ROCKMINER's influence in community and find the right parter oversea, money is secondary, and this is the reason we only raise 1500BTC. All shares with the same rights.

IPO is not a easy thing. Everything is based on trust,sorry for my pool english and sorry for not replying every question.

We have started a Pre-IPO for large users.
Thanks Rockxie, I'm happy to take any of your answers on trust.

could I ask you to please respond to bitcoin.newsfeed request below?
effectively:
1) what % of the 60,000 Private shares are being sold and what % are being given to founders or friends?
2) as a public company your books are expected to be open to investors, will you conduct your accounting in a transparent way for inspection on the blockchain

thank you.

Thanks, one more thing. Some math here :

We're talking about 75 000 shares, (60 000 private and 15 000 public).

... so RM should have 7500 BTCs in IPO address after sold-out IPO. 6000 from private investors and 1500 from us. One great feature of the blockchain is that is an ultimate public ledger. So the question is, can you provide the proof, that you raised 6000 BTC in private round? I just don't want to see, that you're giving shares for free to you or your friends. Shareholders are equal, right? After that we can control flow of money in company, how much will go for chips orders, how many for other expenses etc, very transparent way, thanks to blockchain.

6000 60000 private shares are all belong to co-founders of ROCKMINER.
We are going to be a transparent company of course, but may not be 100% .


edit:made a mistake. 6k should be 60k.


184  Economy / Securities / Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips on: March 25, 2014, 02:04:22 AM
is there a maximum buy?

i.e. is it possible for someone with 1500 BTC to buy the whole lot? I can imagine a larger holder or 2 may just snap up the shares... is it a first come first serve basis?

We want to sell shares to more than one,but don't want too many shareholders at the first.

Can shareholders buy a miner at a discounted price?  Say 1 miner buying from Rockminer for every 100 shares owned at a lower price than market?  This would be an added benefit for shareholders?
Sorry,no this plan.shareholders are benefited by dividend.



Thank you for the interesting IPO, I'm considering buying.  Does the IPO start at 12:00 midnight or 12:00 noon Beijing time on the 26th? 

12:00 noon Beijing time


Another couple of questions: Why are there rockminer.com and rock-miner.com? Those domains are also registered to different registrars, why?
Can we receive some sort of confirmation from friedcat/AM that Rockminer is indeed pursuing these plans and working with AM / a customer of them? Or please sign a message stating this operation with you AM dividend address.

Both of them are ours.We use rock-miner.com before,and bought rockminer.com days ago for international brand consideration. We will redirect rock-miner.com to rockminer.com

My dividend address of AM:

I don't understand how you plan to hold the IPO. Will it be held on rockminer.com, or will it be held on the forums? Also, will you be associating shares with BTC addresses, using the same sort of method as Asicminer?

We plan to issue the IPO with paying bitcoins to the IPO address directly,we collecting payment BTC addresses for dividend addresses.Yes, the same as ASICMINER. So if you are interested, you should send bitcoins from a wallet which you have private keys.

The IPO address will release later.



Ok. If someone pays the IPO address 10 BTC from 5 different addresses, they will need to hold onto those 5 addresses forever in order to keep their shares?
I would like to buy shares but not 10 BTC worth...
How would this mining operation do better then what ASICMINER is doing, if the chips are coming straight from them and they are already in the mining business as well?

No need to be better. Smiley

Just one of them.We will release a address list after IPO completed.
189  Economy / Securities / Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips on: March 24, 2014, 01:36:21 PM
I'm thinking about doing a passthrough/groupbuy for the IPO, since there is no one offering anything like this right now and not everyone can afford 10 BTC. We'd chip in and buy the shares together (if this is OK with rockxie). I'd then transfer the shares as soon as possible to your address after trading is enabled or keep on passing the dividends through to you. Please send a PM stating how many shares you'd be interested in obtaining so I can see whether this makes sense or isn't worth pursuing at all. Smiley

rockxie: 1. Will we be able to transfer shares to Havelock afterwards? 2. Why aren't you doing the IPO on Havelock? Thank you!

Sorry, PT just can be allowed after IPO completed.
Havelock is a good platform,but there are some fees,and we think that every penny should be used in the right place.

Rock Xie, do you have contingency plans if the Chinese gov't cracks down hard on the sale and proceeds of miners and bitcoin mining?

No.
And if so ,change a country and keep going . Wink
192  Economy / Securities / Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips on: March 24, 2014, 01:03:09 PM
Will there be a passthrough at Havelock for those of us who can't afford to spend at least 10-15 BTC on the minimum amount of 100 shares?

Yes,after IPOed.
193  Economy / Securities / Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips on: March 24, 2014, 01:02:07 PM
Right on time Rockxie. I am interested in this offering and I'm planning to invest some BTCs into your operation. Therefore I have few questions for you, if you are not comfortable to answer them, doesn't matter, just write that you don't want to answer.

1. Can you provide your real identity to us?
2. Where is Rockminer located? In which jurisdiction registered? And location of manufacture?
3. How can you be so sure, that AM gen3 chips will meet expected performations, when they are not tested yet? Why not wait for official specs of gen3 chips and release IPO after that?
4. What is your backup plan, if AM gen3 will not meet expected performance?
5. Why you split ASICminer into 2 companies? What's the story behind this?
6. I read, that you are also interested in self mining, what is the expected size of Rockminer mining operation? Do you want to use immersion cooling or air cooling?
7. Do you plan to offer mining solutions for large industrial mining farms and custom datacenter solutions?
8. What about transparency of sales and shareholders audit? How do we know how many miners RM sell? The addresses for payments will be available to public?

Thanks Rockxie, that's all for now :-)

1. Can you provide your real identity to us?

    Yes,of course if you need.I'm not a fresh user,you know.

2. Where is Rockminer located? In which jurisdiction registered? And location of manufacture?

    We are in Shenzhen,China.

3. How can you be so sure, that AM gen3 chips will meet expected performations, when they are not tested yet? Why not wait for official specs of gen3 chips and release IPO after that?
  
   Time is money.

4. What is your backup plan, if AM gen3 will not meet expected performance?

   We can also purchase other chips such as AVALON OR A1 if need.

5. Why you split ASICminer into 2 companies? What's the story behind this?

    You may make a mistake.We are not ASICMINER,we are ROCKMINER ,a company which is going to purchase Gen3 chips of ASICMINER.

6. I read, that you are also interested in self mining, what is the expected size of Rockminer mining operation? Do you want to use immersion cooling or air cooling?

    Mainly are cooling,immersion cooling is too expensive.

7. Do you plan to offer mining solutions for large industrial mining farms and custom datacenter solutions?
 
   In our plan.

8. What about transparency of sales and shareholders audit? How do we know how many miners RM sell? The addresses for payments will be available to public?
    
   We regularly publish financial statements.



194  Economy / Securities / Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips on: March 24, 2014, 11:37:29 AM
So out of the 1,500 BTC raised how much are you contributing for your share of 60,000 shares? Just your time and knowledge? is that really worth 6,000 BTC (~$3.5 million dollars) for 12 months work? (as this is the amount of time your shares are on hold)

Seems like if I put in anything my shares become worth a hell of a lot less, ie once you reach the full sale of the IPO shares, each share is then only worth 0.02BTC, so without even doing anything my investment is worth 20% of what it started at.....

What are your targeted sales? and your targeted mining farm? you sat you expect to have 6P, will this be used in mining or selling, what are your estimated profits on selling? 1% 5% 10%?

Any answers would be great, unless you can post some solid profits and estimates, I for one will not be investing

Regards,
Red

We surely contribute to our project a lot ,including investing funds ,finding high-tec engineers , doing  R&D ... We have also decorated the mining farms.Some good place,which means lower electrical cost and more stable electric power,such as Guangdong and Hunan province, have been selected to set our mining farms.
195  Economy / Securities / Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips on: March 24, 2014, 10:29:28 AM
1.The valuation of our company is determined by the discount of our future revenue.
2.If IPO's done,we can produce 6000~10000 miners per year, one of them hashrate will reach 1TH/S.
3.We have done a good sale job of previous miners, power cost of our new miners are more competitive,market reflection will be fine.
