Full MemberActivity: 160Merit: 100 Re: [ANN] [ROCKMINER] IPO Announcement - miners using GEN3 ASICMINER chips March 24, 2014, 10:49:23 AM #5 So out of the 1,500 BTC raised how much are you contributing for your share of 60,000 shares? Just your time and knowledge? is that really worth 6,000 BTC (~$3.5 million dollars) for 12 months work? (as this is the amount of time your shares are on hold)



Seems like if I put in anything my shares become worth a hell of a lot less, ie once you reach the full sale of the IPO shares, each share is then only worth 0.02BTC, so without even doing anything my investment is worth 20% of what it started at.....



What are your targeted sales? and your targeted mining farm? you sat you expect to have 6P, will this be used in mining or selling, what are your estimated profits on selling? 1% 5% 10%?



Any answers would be great, unless you can post some solid profits and estimates, I for one will not be investing

I am interested in this offering and I'm planning to invest some BTCs into your operation. Therefore I have few questions for you, if you are not comfortable to answer them, doesn't matter, just write that you don't want to answer.



1. Can you provide your real identity to us?

2. Where is Rockminer located? In which jurisdiction registered? And location of manufacture?

3. How can you be so sure, that AM gen3 chips will meet expected performations, when they are not tested yet? Why not wait for official specs of gen3 chips and release IPO after that?

4. What is your backup plan, if AM gen3 will not meet expected performance?

5. Why you split ASICminer into 2 companies? What's the story behind this?

6. I read, that you are also interested in self mining, what is the expected size of Rockminer mining operation? Do you want to use immersion cooling or air cooling?

7. Do you plan to offer mining solutions for large industrial mining farms and custom datacenter solutions?

8. What about transparency of sales and shareholders audit? How do we know how many miners RM sell? The addresses for payments will be available to public?



Thanks Rockxie, that's all for now :-) ... Question Everything, Believe Nothing ...

We surely contribute to our project a lot ,including investing funds ,finding high-tec engineers , doing R&D ... We have also decorated the mining farms.Some good place,which means lower electrical cost and more stable electric power,such as Guangdong and Hunan province, have been selected to set our mining farms.

rockxie: 1. Will we be able to transfer shares to Havelock afterwards? 2. Why aren't you doing the IPO on Havelock? Thank you! I'm thinking about doing a passthrough/groupbuy for the IPO, since there is no one offering anything like this right now and not everyone can afford 10 BTC. We'd chip in and buy the shares together (if this is OK with rockxie). I'd then transfer the shares as soon as possible to your address after trading is enabled or keep on passing the dividends through to you. Please send a PM stating how many shares you'd be interested in obtaining so I can see whether this makes sense or isn't worth pursuing at all.rockxie: 1.

Will it be held on rockminer.com, or will it be held on the forums? Also, will you be associating shares with BTC addresses, using the same sort of method as Asicminer?



We plan to issue the IPO with paying bitcoins to the IPO address directly,we collecting payment BTC addresses for dividend addresses.Yes, the same as ASICMINER. So if you are interested, you should send bitcoins from a wallet which you have private keys.



The IPO address will release later.
