So do I get this right that by your contract, early Teraminers get penalized by being excluded from their Gigamining Profits, while others that wait until you actually have received your equipment will gain Gigamining till that day and are then free to upgrade?
No. Those who have turned in their Gigamining contracts before Feb 15th, 2013 will start mining with me as soon as I have the equipment up and running. Those who wait, will be able to upgrade but will follow the letter of the contract.
In essence, the bonuses for turning Gigamining in early is much greater than waiting as the most profitable time to mine with this new equipment is when it first turns on.
To Giga:
That sounds unfair.. from one side those who do NOT read and upgraded early are loosing coins - OK but what about recently claimed or not claimed at all accounts. For me 10 days is A diff change and it makes a big difference in the profits. If not all most of us bought gigamining shares just because of the upgrade and the fact that You will be one of the first big players. And the impression was (you said it somewhere in that topic) that Terramining will start hours after receiving equipment.
IMO 2-3 days is enough compensation for not reading a text.
If you look it the other way around early upgraders will not take any profit from the fact that laters are not mining, because you will!!!
