Gonna chip in my 2 cents here I think
I think I can a bit of both sides here,
Matthew,
I agree with what appears to me, you trying to retain some btc in RSM whilst everyone waits on the new gear, it seems logical at this point incase it never arrives. As you say, we'd be bankrupt with no gear, and not btc - everyone would loose out.
Also, I think HorseRider is right, an agreement did look to be made judging by these posts on this thread, without more info that - thats all im going off, I dont think we can in good faith make him wait until the gear arrives, as valiant as your intentions are for RSM, I'd rather see you retain your credibility and RSM go under than you not and RSM survive.
That is of course if a request was made and accepted before you asked him to wait until the hardware arrives.
HorseRider,
I agree with you that Matthew has stated he would buy out shares, and yes I would also consider it an agreement made. Was the agreement between you and RSM to buy back the shares created before Matthew asked you to wait until the hardware arrives? ie, did you request he buy back your shares?
Also, I have always understood it to be coming out of RSM with the shares being destroyed, thus increasing the remaining shares, however in light of what Matthew is trying to do, which is keep RSM afloat until the new gear gets online, can a compromise be arranged?
How about half now, half when RSM are mining and have better cash flow? Does that not help both sides out a little and avoid a unnecessary scammer tag - which I'm not sure is warranted as im not sure Matthew has scammed you, he seems to be asking you for more time before the trade is done.
Generally I think Matthew is a good guy, and I don't want to label Matthew a scammer, because he had honored my share even before Nefario sending out the shareholder list. I want to solve this.
About the time frame: Matthew has stated clearly in his PM, that he will buy back my share after he received and confirmed the number of my shares. So, Matthew, please do not play the lawyer's smart here.
It is so simple and straight that there is no space for playing it. The term and time frame are all clear.RSM shareholders' decision: I think this is not about RSM, it's about Matthew. Matthew as the issuer and controller of RSM, if he make RSM signing a contract which damages the RSM's interest, then it is Matthew who should pay for the loss of RSM, but not detroying the contract. Whether Matthew has the money or not is irrelevant.
However, now I have offered changing the agreement into a more fair condition, to save Matthew from the corner of damaging other RSM's shareholder value, or paying out the extra coins by himself which he said cannot afford. Before Matthew finally accept my offer and execute it, I still hold the original agreement.
My offer to solve this:
1. I have 141 shares according to Matthew's PM. Matthew buy back 70 of my shares at 0.299BTC/share right now, which is a slight discount price. RSM has the money.
2. Listing the RSM shares ASAP. There are exchanges offering free listing for GLBSE asset. I see no reason not doing that.
3. My other 71 unsold shares should be listed on the chosen exchange, with no binding to sell it back to Matthew, except that Matthew offers a buying back condition for all shareholders in the future, and then the price should be decided by the market or vote, but should not be decided now.
Matthew, I will give you another 24 hours for you to find the money and execute it. You know about my GLBSE bitcoin address, it is 18w3kTsMADXYwYCN4AkWwbknAUySujHt64. I will check the address for the buying back money. On December 25, 2012, 05:10:39 PM, all the PM and previous post records will be on the scam board if the money has not arrived at the address.
I care about the integrity and keeping promise more than the money. Doing business fairly, keeping the promise is my ultimate targets. Changing the term of agreements should be by conversation and negotiation, but not by playing the lawyer's smart or ignoring. For these reasons, I accept change the agreements but not persist the 0.41BTC/share price term if Matthew accepted my offer before December 25, 2012, 05:10:39 PM.
Merry Christmas.

Our admin office Evolex is working on it but as we are a Co-op maybe we can crowd-souce this work between investors to speed up the listing process. As that is a lot of work for just me and Evolex to do and it is the Christmas holidays now in the UK for the next ten day.
