მივესალმები წამოწყებას.
აბა გამოჩნდით კიდე ვინ ხართ აქ.
ამ კვირაში 700$ს უნდა მივუკაკუნოთ.. ამის წინაპირობა კი ისევ და ისევ volume იქნება. მთელი პარასკევი და შაბატი კვირა 1.3-1.5კკზე დგას და უკვე მომაბეზრებელია ეს ყველაფერი.
აიწევს თუ არა ოდნავ, ფასიც მიყვება ზევით
არამგონია ავიდეს 700მდე
ალტკოინებიც ძაან ცუდად იქცევიან
დავხურე ყველა პოზიცია გამოვედი საერთოდ
ერთი თხოვნა მექნება
ყველა ბირჟა სადაც შეხე გვაქ ან შეიძება რომ გვქონდეს რომ ჩამოწეროთ
მშვენიერია...
მოგესალმებით ყველას
ჯერ არა მაგრამ მალე მექნება ქვეყანა კითხვები მაინინგთან დაკავშირებით
AntMiner S2 გადავწყვიტე ჩამოვიტანო...
ნებისმიერი კითხვა გამოუშვი ვუპასუხებთ სიამოვნებით
რაც შეეხება S2-ს S3მმა აჯობა უკვე ასე რომ მაგაზე გადაიტანე ყურადღება დაითვალე რა როგორ და მემგონი ჯობს S3-ის ყიდვა
ადგილი გაამზადე და მოკლედ ბევრი კარგი დეტალი თუ გექნება კითხვები დაწერე პუნკტებად და გავცემთ პასუხს
ესეც ინტერვიუ ერთ კარგ ადამიანთან
BitFury Group Ltd. last week secured one of the largest rounds of funding in the bitcoin sector, bringing in $20 million. It is already one of the world’s largest bitcoin mining companies, which use semiconductors and servers to produce fresh bitcoin, and it’s slated to open a huge bitcoin data center in the Republic of Georgia.
The San Francisco-based company, which was incorporated in the Netherlands, also says it will go public in the U.S. next year.
But for a company with such ambitions, little information is available about BitFury’s founders.
Biographies on BitFury’s website list Chief Executive Valery Vavilov as a “serial entrepreneur” without naming other startups he has started, and the photo of co-founder Valery Nebesny is that of a masked figure reminiscent of a race car driver.
BitFury spokesman Marc Aafjes said Mr. Nebesny, BitFury’s chief technical officer, is a self-taught chip designer, and that Mr. Vavilov founded other companies including advideo.ua, admaster.net, 212.ua and 212.ru.
Mr. Vavilov, Venture Capital Dispatch has learned, also was previously a representative of a major file-sharing website in Ukraine called Ex.ua, which the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative singled out in its “Notorious Markets List” in a December 2012 report. The list names “particularly infamous” markets, including those operating online.
In announcing the 2012 list, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative noted that Ex.ua, which it described as offering “unauthorized downloading and streaming of various content,” was shut down by criminal law enforcement authorities but then allowed to go back online.
“Valery [Vavilov] was indeed involved with this company as a representative for a short period,” Mr. Aafjes said. “However he wasn’t a co-founder nor is he involved with the company at this stage.” Mr. Vavilov is quoted as the company’s representative in numerous articles regarding Ex.ua in 2010, 2011 and 2012.
George Kikvadze, managing director of Georgian Co-Investment Fund, led the recent investment in BitFury. Georgian Co-Investment Fund, based in Tbilisi, Georgia, is a $6 billion private equity firm backed by sovereign wealth funds including those of Abu Dhabi, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. It served as an anchor investor in the deal, providing $10 million, Mr. Kikvadze said.
Mr. Kikvadze, a member of BitFury’s board of directors, said the startup is adding people to the team. Robert Waalder, who joined recently as a chief operations officer, was a long-time executive at Amsterdam-based Philips Group, for example. “Once the website is updated…you’ll see the caliber of the people,” Mr. Kikvadze said.
He said the company is also planning to add “a prominent venture capitalist” and “a veteran of the U.S. payments industry” to BitFury’s board of directors shortly. BitFury “will be hiring a couple of prominent lobby groups in D.C.” to advocate for the bitcoin industry, Mr. Kikvadze said.
The deal came in the form of convertible notes, with the option to convert to equity at a $250 million valuation, according to Mr. Kikvadze. Others participating in the round were Binary Financial, Crypto Currency Partners, Queensbridge Venture Partners and ZAD Investment Company. Angel investors Bill Tai and Jonathan Teo, former managing director at General Catalyst Partners, also joined the investor group, BitFury said.
Mr. Teo confirmed that he invested. “I’m a data center geek, and I really like how they designed it,” Mr. Teo said, adding that the founders were a “hustle team.” Asked whether Mr. Vavilov’s past affiliation with Ex.ua was of concern to him, he said, “not for what they are doing right now.”
BitFury hopes next year to become the first bitcoin company to go public, according to Mr. Kikvadze. The company had about $30 million in revenue in 2013, and expects $210 million in revenue for this year, on $120 million in EBITDA, Mr. Kikvadze said.
The company is also eyeing acquisitions of other bitcoin companies, both those that make chips and other equipment to obtain new bitcoin, and those that provide wallets or host currency exchanges, Mr. Kikvadze said.
He said that BitFury is slated to open the world’s largest data center aimed at producing bitcoin near Tbilisi. It will have electric power capacity of 20 megawatts, he said.
