Any updates? A simple plan would suffice.
Waiting for the ASIC gear to arrive.
Using the current dividends to acquire additional hardware.
Waiting on ASICMiner shares to start paying.
Waiting on CoinLab to start GPU leasing.
Continue paying out as funds become available from above mentioned activities.
So what you are saying is.....wait and wait.
It seems that you have enough ASICs from BFL orders and ASICMiner that can cover your principal payment down the road when ASIC happens. The CoinLab should also be viable if they are able to find customers.
Perhaps you should stop using current dividends to acquire additional hardware.
Why? Because you stated that there have been a lot of messed up orders before. It would make sense to not keep throwing money down the same path. At this point, I think the investors should have a say in what to do with the BTCs generated now.
If you keep investing more into ASIC, what if something happened again that mess it up causing you to go broke again?
Wouldn't it be safer to use the BTC generated daily to pay out partial principal, and then wait to see what happens with ASICs.
This is investor's money you are handling, and the investors should be able to vote what to do. Why? B/c you are no longer paying the dividends, which means you are not the one controlling what happens from now on. If you were to continue paying dividends, then we the investors don't care what you do with the capital you have now.
I hope this makes sense.
I hope what I'm about to say makes sense:
Diff is expected to grow by leaps and bounds. It will start out as an arms race with all this new gear. Anyone that isn't ahead of the pack will get left in the dust. If we don't get ahead of the pack, we'll be behind and once we're behind, it means things will take exponentially longer.
Coinlab isn't doing leased work, so we can't pretend that will make money until it actually is.
Asicminer isn't paying dividends right now, so we can't pretend its making money until they start paying. We don't even know what they'll pay because it depends on what they end up doing compared to BFL and the others. I don't think it makes much sense to liquidate the position as the bid depth on GLBSE is lacking (which it always seems to be), which means the liquidating would be a huge loss.
Be patient. These things aren't going to resolve overnight just because you wish it to happen.
