First purchase and dividends: The first purchase will be as fast as I can execute it following the sale of the 50,000 public shares.
Am I to understand that equipment will not be purchased until
all 50K public shares are sold? I just want to make sure I understand this clearly.
If this is true, you may have to re-think your strategy. I can not afford to have BTC invested in an asset that is not producing current dividends. I'm sure many other investors think the same way.
I personally mine @ BTCGuild with my pc right now but I would probably put up a vote between the top pools listed here:
http://blockchain.info/pools and take shareholder advice.
BTC Guild is pretty good (they even have DDoS protection) but 5% fees is steep.
I'm sure there are other pools out there, but I am not the best person to offer advice in this area.
