201  Economy / Securities / Re: [Crypto::stocks] CryptX – PETA-MINE on: October 14, 2013, 11:08:31 PM
Some questions I had from the other thread.

For crypt:

Why are the remaining available shares being sold at 0.065 btc, instead of 0.066 btc?

Actually, since the IPO hasn't completed, how would the plan to return 0.065 btc of the initial investment in dividends work out? Or those who invest after Fri will not have this protection?

for anyone else:
Has anyone compared the last version of the contract on btct with the much shorter version now on cryptostocks.com?

Archive btct contract before btct goes down.

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. 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 start at the end of September 2013.

Shareholder Information

CryptX will issue a maximum of 100,000 non-dilutable PETA-MINE shares at IPO. Each share represents at least 10 GH/s of the total hash power of the PETA-MINE, and shareholders will receive a weekly dividend payment every Friday.

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 net mining revenue from this additional 20% will go to public shareholders until the initial investment of 0.65 BTC/share is recovered in dividends.

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. 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

First deployment is scheduled for the end of September 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 20% 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 mid-February, 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 minimum 10 GH/s 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 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 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.

Network hashrate has risen to 2300TH.Who's driving this boom?Bitfury,KNC or, the 500TH of AM?

Don't know if http://erpao.info is official, but it still reports 47 TH/s (in solo mining).

PETA-MINE listing moves to Cryptostocks.com
Dear Shareholder,

 

We are pleased to announce the continuation of our asset PETA-MINE on www.cryptostocks.com.

For swift transfer of your shares to cryptostocks.com, create an account on cryptostocks with the same e-mail address you used on btct.co. We will transfer your shares to your new account. Please inform us by e-mail (info@cryptx.com) when your account is created so we can transfer your shares.

You will receive 10 times the amount of shares you owned at btct.co as we initiated a 1 for 10 share split.

Each share represents 1 GH/s of hashing power. CryptX has invested in 20 TH/s of hashing power, all mining revenue from this additional 20 TH/s will go to public shareholders until the initial investment of 0.065 BTC/share is recovered in dividends.

A first dividend of 300 BTC will be paid on 18 October 2013.

 

Regards,

CryptX

Gee, cryptostocks :-/

So, based on the 10 x 2313 shares outstanding on btct + 11 new shares sold on cryptostocks, we can expect to see 300 / (23130+11) ~= 0.01296 btc dividends per share this friday?

Why are the remaining available shares being sold at 0.065 btc, instead of 0.066 btc?

Actually, since the IPO hasn't completed, how would the plan to return 0.065 btc of the initial investment in dividends work out?

Has anyone compared the last version of the contract on btct with the much shorter version now on cryptostocks.com?

Lastly, to me, it looks approximately correct that 65% of the mining revenue till this week of the initial deployment of 20 TH/s (ramping up slowly since early Oct), comes up to 300 btc.  Does this look right to the rest of you too?

Once all bitcoins and litecoins are mined their value will be proportional to the quantity of coins minted.

No.

Did burnside transfer the Asicminer PT shares to direct shares already? I had two shares on BTCT.co and I just checked and they are no longer there. There is also no history of them being sold. Was this done already?

Not expected till later.

To my knowledge, Friedcat will not be receiving the final list from Burnside until this Thursday.

I don't claim to undestand it (at all).  But, if they ALWAYS hit it, i suppose they could find a matching block with every single attempt, earning a reward of 25 BTC (currently) in the process.  

The difficult level gets recalibrated every 21602016 blocks.  But if you were stretching the realms of impossibility, they /could/ still continue finding these matching blocks.  

Mining with GPUs, they could get a hash rate of say 200MH/s.  With only a total of 6929999 blocks getting BTC rewards, they could find them all in a second.  (I don't know, technically, whether there needs to be some network or time delay in order for the discovered blocks to be propagated and difficulty redadjusted).

So after your characters' brief burst of impossible luck, that would leave an astronomical difficulty level for the rest of the network which doesn't have the happy plot-device of lady luck shining on them.  

The network might well not be able to find any blocks for the next 100 years.  Which means no transactions get confirmed.  And the difficulty will only adjust to a reasonable rate after 21602016 more blocks are found.  Disaster!  And ironically, they wouldn't even be able to spend their BTCs.

Maybe if one of your characters were a math genius or had access to NSA math that is able to trivialise BTC's hard problem.

Perhaps at some point in the future high-difficulty time, we might see ASICs being rented out to brute force stolen password hashes  Undecided  as an alternate revenue stream
214  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What do you think is the near future of bitcoin mining ?? on: October 07, 2013, 06:30:57 AM
I say that altcoin mining is way better than bitcoin mining because GPUs can be used for many things and it does not require such a huge investment

This pre-supposes that the altcoin actually has any value.
