You have to free your mind of prejudice and read the offering again.  This one is designed to have the shares approach zero as the BE200 ASICs reach the end of their useful life wrt maintenance costs.  It is not a standard IPO.

 This is a good question.  I think this is a standard buy-back clause which would allow them to buy back the shares should the need arise.  Imagine that there might be an unscrupulous person in the Bitcoin world (I know this is hard to imagine... please play along) who would buy up all the shares and rebrand the operation in order to expand their own enterprise.  Maybe Sam Cole needs to add some inexpensive hashing power to one of his many Datorhalls, or maybe Sonny Vleisides and Josh Zerlan are looking to bring some innovation to BFL (lord knows they could use some inexpensive innovation right about now), or maybe Creativex aka Eric Corlew is looking to make a come-back with bASIC-mining so he can repay his shareholders (hey, we can dream)...  Anyway,  AMHash could then buy back the shares and regain control of their own operation.  I realize these are rather extreme examples but as you can see, it protects AMHash as well as the shareholders.  These are bargain basement prices for hashing power and maintenance fees.  I would not be surprised at all if someone would try to exploit this offering in such a way but I do not believe that the clause is there to take advantage of AMHash shareholders.

 

 You people are looking at this way too deeply.  You get a miner without paying the shipping AND you run 1 TH for a buck sixty three per day without the need of buying a power supply!  The div per share is the same as the theoretical reward you would make from a 1 GH miner per second.  Really this is like a gift from AM
  

Thanks!  Google translate first told me the page was in English and then when I tried to cut and paste it thought the text was Haitian Creole.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy <- lol

   Come on guys, English?  This is the main board.

 While I don't disagree with your position, there are many people in North America who save for their retirement years as well.  Ultimately they could spend the money but it is used in 401Ks and RRPSs to both defer taxation and serve as a retirement income.  I'm not sure bitcoin can be used to defer taxes at this time in RRSPs and 401k(s).  Money and bitcoin are not synonymous yet.

 Seriously, where have you been hiding?  They ARE!

No.  They are simply trying to unload the chips while they still have value.

AM publicly changed their business model a few months ago.  They were to concentrate on chip sales only.  Due to some disappointing chip results and unforeseen delays, this model did not work out. AM has adapted its plan (more than once) since that time.  Apparently they are not willing to commit the considerable time, effort and expense required in order to self-mine hence they now have partners.

  Technically, some of those "other words" you speak of are numbers, some are symbols and others are abbreviations but thanks for doing the math for us.  Some of us really suck at comprehension, especially after night shifts

 Now is that per earth day?  Awww never miner; I already bought my shares 

The "hashrate equivalent calculation" is

25 / (difficulty * 4.295) BTC per unit per second

Rather than paying you a percentage of the farm's take based on the number of shares you own.

 "Are there any people in here from mainland China" would be more appropriate.

 The downside is living with the guilt and shame of having wronged so many others.  All the players weren't bad in the beginning but were corrupted by others with bad intentions and living with shame has grave implications.  Money isn't the be-all and end-all; it can't repair the damage to your soul.  There is actually no point to their greed - they have simply created a race for themselves to capture more of the bitcoin network.  Seeking power and perfection is actually a manifestation of the feelings of shame - they are trying to compensate for their shame by preventing future shame.  Ultimately they will fail.

 That's a great site you've made!  It would be nice if you could note somewhere that there are still waiting for promised refunds on cancelled Neptune orders.  Here's what they wrote in August:


 What a load of shit.  "We need to beef up our output but meh, fuk u, we aren't going to.  Instead we promise you more money until our time runs out at which point we will promise you something else or maybe offer you three Titans that were returned for RMA but we didn't bother fixing because again - fuk u you unnecessary customer.  We don't need no stinkin' customers, we simply need your money!  Afterall, we're in this for the long haul.

 

 Don't forget the refunds!  Many of us are still waiting for them to refund our money on cancelled Neptune orders.  Anyone still waiting should seriously think about giving "kncminer" some negative trust.  I know there are many other reasons to deal out negative trust and it is never too late - even if you think they wont be back here.

I use an adapter from an Orico USB3 powered hub for my controllers.  It works fine.

...and through all of this, kncminer hasn't received any negative trust?

 Me neither but please wait until I get my Neptune refund.  Aw f-it! Just grab a handful of doubloons for me while you're pillaging.  Actually is it considered pillaging if you're taking back what's rightfully yours?
