Those would definitely work, but that seems a costly and time consuming solution, and as you mention, downtime is a big deal...

No they are not scam yet. They are trying to deliver their products faster.

As far I know people are getting their devices now. So, how they are scam?

use bitcoinwatch

then view the chart,  currently its 9% for AM and network runs at 693TH

so 9% of 693TH = 62.57TH AM miner currently  nothing changed

edit: before it was at 5% , then 4, then 6, then10, then 7, then 5   then 10, then 9 now   , might go down again

I think he may be the mayor there.  He got my vote this morning, also.

Called me "Josh" the other day, then dribbled all over his PC today when I returned the favor.

14 month here but it is here. 7 days from US to UK standard shipping lol. I feel sorry for people who payed and extra 312£ like retards for 'express shipping' that comes in about a month haha.

I got lucky, i know that. And ill have ROI by end of this month, a little into next maybe. I only paid $1300 for 60GH so im also not a mug like these people paying $2,600 either for 50GH! As i say, if you ordered in 2013 YOU DESERVE EVERYTHING YOU GET! (Nothing that is)

Waiting for a drop to buy in again. Watch there not be one... just my luck.

Will it work like this?

Alice Ellen Krauss (AEK) pays 20 BTC ($12 USD each) in September of 2012 for a 5Gh/s miner preorder.
Tired of waiting in September of 2013, AEK sells her preorder to Carol Grace Miller (CGM) for 3BTC ($120 each), figuring she's $100 ahead, or so.

So AEK gives 20 BTC to the middleman in 9/12.
CGM gives 3 BTC to AEK in 9/13, and AEK calls it quits.

Who's the middleman between AEK and CGM that keeps the other 17 BTC, which are now worth about $2000 total?

I think that probably explains AsicMiner's decline, the value (IMO) is declining because people are selling AM to buy ActM and Labcoin. Even though AM has been around longer, the fact is the price/reward ratio between AM and Labcoin are way out of whack.  AM and Labcoin both have 130nm chips, with faster ones on the way. There's no reason for AM to have 50-60 times the market cap.  At 2.1 and 0.038 it's more like 20x the market cap.

By "never left the race", you mean shares trading under IPO price?

IPO price:  0.33
Last price: 0.1193
Total paid dividend per share: 0.037
Lost per share:  0.1737  52.6% loss.

Not to mention most shareholders brought shares from you at more higher price than 0.33.

If I raised btc through IPO, and sit doing nothing, merely paying divdends daliy,though it's scam. I bet it will be a better investment than yours.
It's pity for you, doing a lot useless things is worse than doing nothing.

The typo of the initial contract is corrected in the motion.

CryptX Business Goals

CryptX’s primary goal is to provide opportunities for the public to invest in the Bitcoin mining business. The company will do this by offering shares of a PETA-MINE, a hosted mining project with a capacity of 1,000,000 GH/s of hashing power.

CryptX hereby offers an asset (its PETA-MINE) for shares in the profit of the company’s operation. CryptX will offer 100,000 shares, where every share represents 10 GH/s of hashing power.

The PETA-MINE’s hashing power will represent a percentage of the total hashing power of the entire Bitcoin network. This percentage will decrease whenever the hashing power of the network increases. To mitigate this issue, CryptX will reinvest 35% of the mine’s net revenue in additional hashing power. This means that as the PETA-MINE continues to grow, each share will, in turn, represent more hashing power. 65% of the net revenue will be paid to shareholders through a weekly dividend.

Deployment of the PETA-MINE will occur mid December, 2013.

Shareholder Information

CryptX will issue 83,333 out of 100,000 non-dilutable PETA-MINE shares at IPO. Each share represents 1/100,000 of the total hash power of the PETA-MINE, and shareholders will receive a weekly dividend payment every Friday. The PETA-MINE will deploy with a capacity of 1,000,000 GH/s where one share represents 1 GH/s in hashing power.

The company will issue shares in two batches:

The first batch will consist of 50,000 shares. CryptX will sell these shares through BTC-TC at a fixed price of 0.65 BTC per share. The sale of the first batch will close when all shares are sold.
The second batch will consist of the remaining 33,333 shares and will sell at a fixed price of 0.7 BTC per share. The sale of the second batch will close when all shares are sold.
All shares are entitled to an equal percentage of dividends and all shares sold in the IPO are considered voting shares. A total of 83,333 out of 100,000 shares will sell at IPO. No shares beyond these 100,000 will ever be sold or created in the future, so shares can never be diluted.

For every share sold, CryptX will invest in an additional 20% hashpower. All mining revenue from this additional 20% will go to public shareholders until the initial investment of 0.65BTC/share is recovered in dividends.

Shareholder Protection

The IPO will prove successful with the sale of at least 30,000 shares. If fewer than 30,000 shares sell within 30 days, CryptX will refund the entire IPO to shareholders. What’s more, the fact that no shares beyond those offered at IPO will ever be issued means shareholders need not fear dilution of the value of their shares.

CryptX will invest in an additional 20% hashpower for every share sold. All mining revenue from this additional 20% will go to public shareholders until the initial investment of 0.65BTC/share is recovered in dividends.

CryptX will regularly update all relevant information about the PETA-MINE so that shareholders can evaluate the performance, capital outlay, and future of the project. It will make this information available through a regular shareholder newsletter, periodic updates to its website (cryptx.com), and a forum it will create on bitcointalk.org dedicated exclusively to CryptX news.

CryptX will pay weekly dividends to shareholders amounting to a percentage share of ownership in the PETA-MINE. CryptX will not change the direction or goal of the PETA-MINE without shareholder votes as per the statutes of BTC-TC.

PETA-MINE Deployment Date

PETA-MINE deployment is scheduled for mid December, 2013. The CryptX management team is well aware of the importance of timing the mine’s deployment. It is also aware of the very poor track record of meeting time schedules in the Bitcoin mining space and recognize that potential sources of such delays include chip failure, PCB failure, or chip delivery problems. CryptX will protect PETA-MINE shareholders against such delays by adding 20% additional hash power for each 30 days the company exceeds its target deployment date.

For example, if CryptX ultimately deploys the mine after mid January, 2014, an additional 200 TH/s of power will be added to the PETA-MINE completely free of charge to shareholders, and each share will be entitled to 12 GH/s of hash power. If the company starts deployment after February 15, 2014, it will add an additional 20% on top of the previous 20%. In that case, each share would be entitled to 14.4 GH/s of hash power.

Dividends

Dividends will automatically appear in shareholders’ Bitcoin wallets every Friday around 15:00 GMT.  Dividends will consist of 65% of PETA-MINE net revenue for the week. Net revenue is defined as the total of all Bitcoins mined minus electricity, hosting, and mine maintenance costs.

The percentage of the net revenue paid in dividends can change if shareholders vote to change it. Such action will only occur if the state of the Bitcoin mining space demands it.

Reinvestment

Every week, CryptX will reserve for reinvestment purposes a percentage of earned Bitcoins equal to 35% of net revenue. These investments will allow CryptX to produce and deploy additional hardware. Time of deployment for this additional hardware will be in the best interest of shareholders.

Because of the unique partnership between CryptX and Cointerra, a world-class semiconductor engineering company, future investments in the PETA-MINE will occur at the most competitive prices. CryptX will also have first access to future chip designs direct from Cointerra.

While the reinvestment percentage is subject to change via shareholder vote, such action will only occur if the state of the Bitcoin mining space demands it.

Terms and Conditions

Each share represents 1/100,000 of PETA-MINE net revenue. Net revenue, once again, is defined as Bitcoins earned by the mine minus electricity, hosting, and maintenance costs. 65% of net revenue will be paid in dividends every Friday around 15:00 GMT. CryptX will then reinvest 35% of net revenue in additional mining capacity. Every shareholder is also entitled to his or her share of net revenue from hashing power reinvestments. The 65%/35% distribution rule will also apply to hardware acquired through reinvestment.

The shares have no voting power. Shares of PETA-MINE on BTC-TC do not represent real world shares of CryptX. The shares are solely a distribution mechanism for rights to profits from the PETA-MINE. Profit distribution will not be dependent on BTC-TC existence; in the event BTC-TC closes down, the equity will be moved to another trading platform. If no adequate platform exists, CryptX will manually transfer payouts to shareholders’ Bitcoin addresses.

The issuer has no right to release additional shares at any time or for any price. Thanks to this limitation, the value of initial shareholders’ shares is non-dilutable. The issuer does, however, have the right to change the price and/or quantity of any scheduled sale batches of shares.

CryptX Business Goals

CryptX’s primary goal is to provide opportunities for the public to invest in the Bitcoin mining business. The company will do this by offering shares of a PETA-MINE, a hosted mining project with an initial maximum capacity of 1,000,000 GH/s of hashing power.

CryptX hereby offers an asset (its PETA-MINE) for shares in the profit of the company’s operation. CryptX will offer a maximum of 100,000 shares, where every share represents 10 GH/s of hashing power.

For every share sold, CryptX will invest in an additional 20% hashpower, with a minimum of 20 TH/s, which will be deployed as early as the end of September. All mining revenue from this additional 20% will go to public shareholders until 0.65 BTC/share is recovered in dividends.

The PETA-MINE’s hashing power will represent a percentage of the total hashing power of the entire Bitcoin network. This percentage will decrease whenever the hashing power of the network increases.

All shares are entitled to an equal percentage of dividends and all shares sold in the IPO are considered voting shares. No shares beyond these 100,000 will ever be sold or created in the future, so shares can never be diluted.

CryptX will issue shares in batches of 10,000 with a maximum of 100,000 shares. Each batch of 10,000 shares will be divided in blocks of 2,000 shares. The first block of 2,000 shares starts at 0.65 BTC. Price with each new block will increase with 0.01 BTC.

Shareholder Protection

After 27 September 2013, we won't issue new batches of 10,000 shares. The IPO will continue to run until the last issued batch of 10,000 shares is sold. For example if 6,000 shares are sold on 27 September, a maximum of 10,000 shares will be issued. For example if 15,000 shares are sold on 27 September, a maximum of 20,000 shares will be issued.

CryptX will regularly update all relevant information about the PETA-MINE so shareholders can evaluate the performance, capital outlay, and future of the project.
