Lots of topics here. As one of the original investors I'd like to weigh in a bit on machine allocation. I'm ok with the plan to distribute investments evenly across all machines. It egalitarian and greatly simplifies accounting. None of this machine-labeling nonsense. Early investors will feel, though, like their investment has been diluted by later investments, (and that was one of the reasons that I kept adding shares ... to offset that dilution a bit).

CoinHoarder, I'm happy with the Ownership Percentages that you came up with for the mining pool ... once you have all 7 miners. Now here's the kicker. How would you feel about doing that 6 more times. Actually I'd be happy to help with this. As I see it people should be added to the pool with the skin they had at the time of EACH purchase. As you begin receiving shipment, shares from the group of investors that enabled you to buy that miner are added to the ownership roster. This gives early investors their "premium" for having skin in the game early on, and it allows later investors to share the risk of any one miner going down.

Any thoughts in this regard would be much appreciated. Thanks

I also feel this way. I'm not sure how to solve the problem. My money was invested in the first unit.
I had a 10%~ investment on it. I was very likely to get my ROI in the first month. Now I have roughly 1% share. I'm not likely to see my ROI until the very last unit is received and mining. Depending on how avalon ships, it could be less then a few weeks from the first to the last unit. But its likely going to be much longer.

If you had a 10% investment when there was 1 avalon you should have a 1.428% share of 7 Avalons. They won't necessarily arrive in the order they were bought in anyway, what if the first one arrives a month late? Isn't it better for all of us to spread the risk across all of them? Also it did say in the OP that more machines would be ordered if there was enough money for it with nothing about assigning investors to specific machines.
