What? This is so weird. AM offering cloud mining? That's really the last thing I expected. Frankly until I hear it from friedcat I'm pretty skeptical about all of this.

they talked about it at the saloon...... cloud mining for customers would be in the pipeline of progression due to the cheap electricity they could offer.

Throw out 5PH on the side to get mining income ahead of mining schedule.

If they have cheap electricity... why not just self-mine? Cloud mining just seems like a way to defer capital costs. I think also part of a long term strategy, in that AM in the past has demonstrated that they are conscious about not wanting to disrupt the network by owning a large share of it (say 40 or 50%). Franchising and cloud mining are avenues to manufacture chips and miners for more than their share of the network, and still seeing profits trickle back to AM from those. It also works in the scalability sense, it might be unrealistic to scale a self mining operation up as required to maintain a large percentage of the network indefinitely (space and electricity are limited), so having these other avenues available serves as a proxy while internal development continues at a fixed pace.

Havelock... really. Now if this was some counterparty asset I would be impressed. The problem for a lot of people isn't investing in a high risk asset but more who is holding the money in the middle. I may trust friedcat but I also have to trust some guys in Panama who are repeatedly making a loss month on month (reference to havelocks financials).

Now that is exciting. I wish I had placed a few more shares this morning.

As they said: Deployment of the 5 Peta-hash has been done and been tested for several days.

Franchising and cloud mining are avenues to manufacture chips and miners for more than their share of the network, and still seeing profits trickle back to AM from those. Franchising would work this way, but cloud mining would not since the hashpower owners are not the ones controlling what transactions are included in a block. It's essentially like mining to a pool you can never switch away from. Not that I think AM will ever come close to 40%

It's essentially like mining to a pool you can never switch away from. Not that I think AM will ever come close to 40% You are correct here, although it seems to me from the description on the website that the cloudmining service itself is a franchise... I don't know anything for certain of course. I don't know if AM will come close to 40% again or not, but they have one thing working for them in that regard; That they actually plan how that might happen, and make a roadmap accordingly. Pretty much all of the Asic failures didn't have a plan beyond continually scaling up what worked last time, without ever revisiting the idea to make sure it's valid in the current environment. Look at BFL for a stunning example of this, I mean, if you ignore their failure to deliver, you see that they didn't really have a chance anyways, as they were still planning to sell fancy overpriced aluminum boxes to hobbyists, as if we were still in their FPGA glory days. You need a plan as much as you need to act on it.

An interesting thing, I came across an address that stopped mining a day before '1Gc' started, also very close to 5ph: 12zGKHDRpQSTRgwZanadpNToBytFNuqCY1 And the day it started mining? 15th. July. Mid July (Ah, this is for speculation thread)
