2  Bitcoin / Mining / Your thoughts on a $3.00 - $3.24 per GH/s per Year Bitcoin Mining Contract on: September 21, 2013, 11:20:31 PM
Hello all,

If I were to offer a 1 year Bitcoin mining contract for $3.00 - $3.24 per GH/s for Pre-Order, would you consider it to be a good deal or a great deal?

Contract period: January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014.
Fully hosted solution in a Tier III data center.
Purchased in blocks of 250 GH/s for $810 each or purchased in blocks of 5 TH/s for $15,000 each (additional blocks of 250 GH/s for $750 each).
Bi-weekly payouts (with no transaction fees) and all payouts will be in BTCs, no exceptions.
Transparent payout calculations based on your percentage of the total Bitcoin network's hash rate (calculated every 2016 blocks - in sync with difficulty changes).
Secured website to monitor all of your payments and manage your Bitcoin payment addresses.
No other fees.

If I were to offer such a deal, I would do the following:
Accept BTC as the preferred payment method.
Accept Credit Cards through PayPal or Amazon.
Accept Dwolla.
Provide refunds minus any transaction fees.
Guarantee that you will have at least as much BTCs in returns as you invested (I will make for the shortfall if necessary). If you paid in fiat currency, your equivalent amount of BTCs will be locked in when your payment was processed using the following rate table (https://bitpay.com/bitcoin-exchange-rates). Who else is going to make such a guarantee without the fear of losing BTCs.

Some background info:
I have 15 years of experience as a Systems Administrator, Systems Integrator, and a Network Architect. (I hold many certifications)
Some background in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
Started mining Bitcoin in late 2009 on my Virtex-6 LX240T FPGA development board.
