I think we subscribers understand that this operation will take a bit of tweaking to get going at full speed, and are willing to give you every chance to do that.
However:So, this is really the only method available for us, investors, to generate coins.
This is simply not true. Anyone who believes in the long-term future of Primecoin can buy them at an exchange. A bought coin is the same as a mined coin, and will yield the same profit.
Let's work through an example using a recent price at mcxNOW, namely 1 XPM = .007 BTC. For the .5 BTC per week subscription, I could buy 70 XPM per week, or 10 XPM / day. If mining yields more than 10 XPM per share per day, then I am better off mining than buying.
If mining yields less than 10 XPM per share per day, then we are all better off buying XPM than mining.
We are currently pacing 200 XPM earnings per day.
Divided by 50 shares, that sounds like 4 XPM per share per day. Can you get this up to 10 XPM per share per day? Seriously, the subscribers do not need 4 XPM per share per day plus a pep talk about the long-term potential of Primecoin, they need 10 XPM per share per day.
It sounds like you have to rent the servers a month at a time, but the funds are coming in week by week, so you can't deploy all the servers at the beginning. Is that correct? If so, you should have told people up front that they would be mining at a loss for the first few weeks.
What we really need is a spreadsheet showing how this operation gets up to 10 XPM per share per day as new servers are deployed. I'd be happy to prepare such a spreadsheet, if you will give me some information, such as cost per server and XPM per server per day.
