Nice update friedcat! Smiley

I've just created a real-time updating mining income + hashrate chart based on Runeks's data which compares the current week with the previous month:






Didn't check if the chart is 100% correct, so if something is wrong please PM me and don't spam the thread Wink

Would Friedcat consider approaching some of the smaller mining pools directly with the franchising deals? 

For instance offering machines in that fashion to the likes of ozcoin, deepbit etc. and other pools in the 1-5% of network size.  I imagine these operations are in a good position to be able to bring that kind of hardware online and run it, since they are large enough to handle the hardware and small enough that they are able to scale up.

Update

Financial Status

Mining Income: 102,041.82BTC
Blade Sales Income: 29,594.75BTC
USB Sales Income: 37,524.00BTC
Total: 169,520.57BTC

Device and Infrastructure Expense: 397,800.00$ + 4,909,930.00¥
Electricity Expense: 729,542.05¥
Labor Expense: 327,081.00¥
Logistics Expense: 132,184.90¥
Deposits: 117,506.01¥
Total: 397,800.00$+6,216,243.96¥

Balance Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al1fvFT7Sd5bdEthNEpIWWxpcW90RFBQOFZ6aFlxT0E&usp=sharing

Hardware Franchising

This is a new business model option besides self-mining and hardware sales. We will rent the excessive hashing power to financial and technical capable people, accepting full deposits at the market price, shipping the devices and collecting a certain PPS rate based on the theoretical hashrate. The PPS rate, the dividing of cost coverage, as well as warranty/exit strategy are being discussed in detail and executed as small-scale experiments.

This model is similar to hardware sales in the aspect that we do not have in control on how the users make use of our devices, therefore has more decentralization in spirit. And like with self-mining, it aims at settings in scale, enjoying the reduction of NRE cost and operating cost overall, and reducing potential marketing/advertisement/customer service costs.

Project Timeline

August-September: Deploy/sell all hashpower arriving in July and early August.
September-November: Deploy/sell the hashpower ordered at early July.
November-December: Experimental products of 2nd-gen chips and modular large-scale deployment solutions.

We look forward to working with you.

If you have any can you please post minimum technical team requirements to join your PPS hash network, or where to contact you to begin at once.

I think you misunderstand what the pools do.  They aren't mining(or generally not very much), they are providing an interface to pool the mining of other people together.

Mining at asicminer scale is a big job with lots of problems and issues.

I concur, this is meant for medium-large mining coops and companies, not pools. I also don't think that friedcat needs to approach the potential customers, it's more likely that they will contact him directly once this option becomes widely known.

anyway thanks for the balance sheet and news, you rock friedcat!

I feel so out of the news loop, but many thanks for trying to keep us in the loop  Smiley

Which USB stick miner are you referring to? The one currently being retailed for 1BTC? Is this a price drop announcement?

Anyone think that dividends will be over 0.025? Roll Eyes

Current mining income: ~4700BTC (wallet)
Sales income: 3100BTC (previous used addresses)

And 7800BTC --> 0.0195BTC/share + extra sales of 0.00 - 0.05 (He always uses some 'hidden' addresses Tongue)



But according to friedcat's DOCS document,
it CAN be possible that the total of 10,112.72BTC is the total of mining+sales this week, and that would mean at least 0.025 BTC/share. Wink
*However it seems likely that a part of that will be hold to pay for upcoming expenses. Smiley

As always, SmiGueL with your wise words! You got this down to a T Wink

Thanks for the analysis and I hope everyone is happy with the upcoming dividends, regardless.

I understood it is a price drop announcement.
And the second stick for 0.1 if you buy previously is awesome idea: it will create customer loyalty, also to buy blades or future AM hardware, as they can get (maybe) a kind of compensation later. The fact that a hardware might be worthy or not, therefore, is not purely based on difficulty increase speculation, as far as I know this is the first time.

Given the recent volume of 1BTC stick sold, a drop to 0.6 soon will probably mean huge sells volume.

If it's confirmed, this would be very good news for me.

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. 
This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

Hopefully the 2nd stick for 0.1BTC will be valid for people who are buying through a distributor, such as wtcr.ca
I can see them trying to take that extra margin for themselves..
prove me wrong, teek.. Don't make me rent an international mailbox..

I consider it 100% right as long as you specify that it is "unconfirmed", in this case you cannot be wrong  Wink
