my idea above is a maximum growth strategy. take all revenue from either production or ipo share sales and buy rigs up until the pt u have the original # rigs u proposed which was around 39 i believe. only then pay dividends. i for one would be more excited at seeing the #rigs and production increase as rapidly as possible which i think alone would drive share sales and prices in the long run. most of us here who bought @ .75, i presume, were in it for the longterm altho clearly there were the flippers too who i think were the minority of buyers at that price. and then there are those who just want a payout asap in the form of dividends.
my only other word of advice fwiw is that you need to realize u wouldn't be having as many problems with shares sales and price if u hadn't let confidence slip during that 1-2 wk period by not posting. share price is all about management perception (and eventually fundamental value). just simply posting everyday and updates would have you in a better position today than you are. and its not too late to do this. just keep posting, continue to show progress as you are, slowly increase production and you'll get thru this. there's nothing but a bright shiny future ahead for btc in general and mining in particular. you just need to learn how to ride the wave.
