Creative, I believe you are one of the most communicative and capable members around here who run a bitcoin mining related company. Unfortunately, I do not believe that simply buying hardware from 3rd parties in an attempt to maintain network percentage can be profitable in the wake of monstrous difficulty increases. Have you ever considered expanding from simply scouring the internet attempting to find cheap 3rd party hardware to actually taking the step in taking part in the manufacture of your own ASICs?
Related to this post, I was wondering what your plans are for the future in terms of keeping the dividends similar to current returns? I'm not really asking "how" you plan on doing it (that's a whole separate task) but more so do intend to keep dividend payouts similar to today's rates? I know there are no guarantees, and I'm not asking for one but it would be nice to know if what you say in your business statement on the site about maintaining shareholder value directly relates to dividend rates. If that's the case, I feel great about investing with your company. We really only need to worry about keeping up with the difficulty, but that's not too hard.
