Hello there!

This has dragged on too long. I think this would be my first and last chance for doing any Bitcoin start-up. So! This is a draft of my project. Please read it carefully and pick out its problems if you like. Then vote or not vote as you wish. More details and FAQ should be added later. But if it couldn't pass [votes as support > votes as not support] within 24h, this draft might be suspended indefinite. Until I have any chance to improve it enough for bring it back or discard it and bring the alternative project. Or we'll never or do not need to know the results because of the happy Mayan and their calendar.  Cool

Some thought of hindsight :

Maybe the easiest way to buy Avalon ASIC without pre-order website would be just start a group buying (you'll still need at least 10 orders though). If you don't want to set-up an Iceland based mining company like me.

Update:

Project π Draft v0.2 has been prepare and likely to be published in the near future. At the same time I would like to seeking a partner as co-founder for the project. For building an independent and long-term development enterprises. The project aim to provide a reliable platform (shares trading included) for investors without having to rely on third-party. Sufficient hedging programs/solutions also must be presented. If you agree with the same philosophy welcome to join the Project π.

The initial stage operation could be set-up in Hong Kong first for tax efficient at this time frame. Therefor if you can move to this location easily or exactly the vicinity locals would be great.

Thanks for reading!
