More than 30% roi before even adding gen2 to the hashrate seems like a decent investment to me.

That's assuming they can keep paying the same dividends weekly for two years. That is a highly speculative position: they might take a two year hiatus to develop the next gen of chips (the saved coins) and have negligible mining revenue. Still, might strike "gold" though.

Do you assume it takes them 2 years to bring the next generation online? Or are we talking about another, future, generation?

This is purely hypothetical: friedcat had been holding up funds for a 2yr staffed lab + 1 batch.
Unless we see hardware sales beyond the cube we might just not see any more divs: it's possible they just work for two years before going back in the mining game, and with no guarantee of success.

What I am getting at is the ROI is not stable, it might drop to zero if they decide to not pay divs (they don't have to, you're technically buying into the company itself)

You honestly think that FC is going to take the accumulated ~6,000,000 usd and just sit on it for 2 years? Even if he spend half of that on current gen hardware he could easily maintain 10%. What do you mean the roi is not stable and they might decide to stop paying divs? Where are you getting this misleading info from? Never has AM not payed divs and/or pull BS at any point.

FC in the interview announced that he plans to have gen3 28nm chips by feb if I remember correctly and gen2 40nm will come before that. All of which will be used for both sales and solo immserion cooled mining.
