On the other hand if you buy Datatank shares the price may go up a lot and its cheaper to get IPO shares than it is to buy later

Please explain to me, how is appreciation of cloud mining shares possible in term of BTC, thank you

There were two types of Shares
Series A and Series B
Only one of the two series involves cloudmining I believe I'll need to recheck on that (not sure capacity isn't mining so only series A does it? although the space is still being used I presume either way)
http://www.datatank-mining.com/files/DataTank_Mining_Ops_Prospectus.pdf

"A"

Unit Holders purchase capacity + mining devices.
100% of the income generated is paid out to unit holders. Funds raised via "A"
units are used to build DataTank mining systems and mining hardware, "A" units are therefore more expensive than "B" units below.

"B"

Unit Holders purchase capacity only (no mining hardware). This capacity is made available on the market and used by third party miners (mining organizations, end - users) for appropriate market prices, bidding models, or special franchising agreements with ASIC manufacturers (ie. 80/20 franchising, 20% of mining income goes to holder of "B" units), or used by unit holders for self-mining.

100% of the income generated is paid out to unit holders.

Think its sort of like a mining bond in that the market speculates on it if I interpreted it correctly if we are allowed to analyze the datatank IPO in the AM thread? If so I'll continue we can also try to guess how many chip sales this will generate for AM as well Smiley

Voluntary Reinvestment
As 100% of income is paid to unit holders, there is no fixed reinvestment percentage or schedule.
However, DataTank Mining recommends unit holders to reserve 20% of earnings for reinvestment to replace outdated /inefficient mining hardware
and fund additional capacity.

This way, investors are in control over reinvestments individually and decide autonomously if and when reinvestments are being made.
Moreover, DataTank Mining intends to establish a reinvestment program at favorable market rates for existing unit holders.

I guess Bitcoin is made depending on how shareholders interpret the market and when to go all in or do nothing in terms of reinvesting in the company.
The shares appreciate if reinvested growth is greater than the increase in difficulty as they are able to generate more Bitcoins with the hashrate
With a lag time of a few months from decision to working hash in the network allowing the market to freely interpret the price, based on their estimated hash and estimated difficulty increases.

Just a rough idea though feel free to correct me may be totally off.


A possible scenario would be
Asicminer Dividends for 2 months --> Rockminer Dividends for 2 months --> Datatank Dividends for 2 months


Now that sounds like a high risk - high reward scenario.

I may play with that on paper and see how it turns out.  

Cool tell me how it goes Smiley

Lol, someone sells 13 shares for like 2.5 btc and 180k shares lose 10% of their value (roughly 10 Million USD)?  

Edit... I just bought one share at .2189 and made back that $10 million for you guys.  your welcome.

ridiculous.

Liquidity is at all time lows, what is this a sign of?  Is it that all the shares are in strong hands?  Is it that people do not trust Havelock? Are people just holding onto shares for the next dividend, and then market orders will go up?  Is it something I can not think of?

I almost wonder if someone is playing with Havelock prices and then pointing to that share price while they make larger off market Direct share purchases...

If each of the long holders would commit to purchasing 1 share per day or week or whatever, then the stock price would rebound... but then again, that would be no better gauge of the actual market value of the asset then we have now.

We really should be moving away from Havelock.  I don't understand why the DataTank IPO is also going to be on havelock. Bitcoin is all about decentralisation, if havelock hosts the majority of every security IPO we're increasing making ourselves the bigger target for fraud, hackers, government enforcement etc. Decentralise and disintermediate, removes the problem surely a bitcoin 2.0 counterparty etc can pick up the slack?

Don't know about you guys... but when I tried using colored coins with Coinprism, I found it to be a pretty seamless experience. If I started a Bitcoin company today, I would definitely issue shares using colored coins. (mind you that only decentralizes the task of keeping track of share ownership, you would still need centralized market places for trading, but the overall risk would be much lower)

Back on BCTC, I did 100% dividend reinvestment... I have always wondered why HL did not have that option (unless they do and I do not see it).  I suppose the lack of dividends to re-invest could be a major cause of the low price.  I sell a few shares now and then to diversify into other holdings, like I may do with DataTank, and without Dividend reinvestment, I am not buying those shares back.

Bitmains new 28nm chip announcement: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=656461

Looks decent. Quite a bit less efficient than I expected but much sooner.

I perceive the chart they posted as very telling of how they operate through thier efforts of forecasting profitability. As I stated before system pricing is set as a function of offering just enough incentive to buy. Bitmain has continually carefully price adjusted to changing market conditions and watching the history of the S1's pricing gave insight into just how much margin there initially was and how inexpensively it could be manufactured. The take away is mining equipment is only as competitive and lucrative as the manufacturers make it and miners accept all risk of the network expanding more quickly than before. As more of these large mining operations come online that risk of more rapidly increasing becomes higher. I would prefer to be on the side of people that control this situation than out on my own at the mercy of the situation.

I'm a bit confused. I was read the term 80/20 and franchising several times now. Will the container or 'tanks' just be sold or only sold for franchising?

They have a goal of 5 1.4mw containers and up to 10.

That would be 10-20ph worth of chips.

Also they somehow managed to get electricity costs all the way down to $0.02/kwh which is perfect for franchising. I'm hoping for at least 10-20ph.


20PH=0.35W/GH. How did you get this number? Has it been proven in a DataTank environment?

I misspoke it should be 1.2MW/container.

20PH at 12MW is 0.6w/gh and yes it has been tested.

Well that only means that you could fit 30PH which is 50% more hashrate using SP30 chips.

Anyone have a good quick comparison chart of current mining ASIC's or fully assembled hardware on offer?  I am curious to see how AM offers stand up.  I know people like Jimmothy and Canary follow all that news far closer, where as I barely find time to keep up with this thread and reddit.

Having full control over pricing product will allow them to compete with Bitmain's "spot price" approach. Bitmain has been successful through rapidly adjusting price to market conditions by providing a total solution. Although ASIC sales may mean greater initial margins it may not result in the volume at which profitability is optimized. The problem is you immediately compete with the companies you supply and those appear to be significant.
