I have opened a thread looking for expressions of interest for a community driven project for ordering KNC chips. The chips will come with a
$4 addition per chip above what KNC are selling them for but this is so that chips can be given for FREE to developers such as MrTeal and others who are willing to design boards for these chips.
The group buy will use an escrow system i am currently looking for a reputable escrow provider for this. I welcome feedback in the thread. I feel that these chips could be great value if boards can be designed for them.
Thread is here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=758408I'm not looking to acquire the chips themselves, but would be interested in adding funds to acquire the chips for the potential development of a rig(s)/group buy mini pool (could be about 40TH??)
Just a suggestion, but something like a minimum of 10 shares (2BTC each) and a maximum of 40 shares (0.5BTC each) with a cap per investor of 2 BTC.
The developer (MrTeal?) would get 10% of the final hashrate of anything that gets produced (if at all).
The caveat would be, that anyone investing does so on the basis that they are investing what they are willing to lose.
For me, this is still a much more attractive proposition than all pre-orders I've been involved in.
Anyway, just a suggestion, could be a pretty interesting project for the right person
