Sounds like my recollection as well. We're happy to have you participate, and look forward to your feedback once we kick off the beta.
In my case I had chosen to buy 2 more shares to get to 10 in total and for Ninja to send me a miner.
But Ninja made me an offer to just pay me for the miner (= not for the shares) so i could buy one directly from Bitmain. This way we saved a lot of money for shipping costs and efforts.
So I feel I qualify for this GB. But if Ninja decides otherwise i'll accept that of course.
5 shares sounds fair for your situation; I'd love to have you participate.
Questions:
I only owned 3 shares in GB4 but was paid for those 3 just before I bought 2 Ants worth from you... a total of 20 shares worth to claim 2 Ants. (They are hashing like little demons BTW!)
1. Do I qualify to participate at 20 shares worth?
2. Do we have to buy in at the amount of shares we took equipment for... i.e if I do qualify... can i just grab a few shares worth... like the 3 I had to start with or maybe 5 instead of the entire 20?
I could see throwing a few BTC back at this to be a part of the new solution... I was looking forward to your new platform before everything went topsy-turvy.
