I could be wrong, but I think Spon has shown interest.

So, Spondoolies is providing hardware to DataTankMining in return for mining/hosting capacity?

No

good

Apologies for the confusion. AM is not at risk being the Bitcoin chip supplier of choice for this operation. Keep in mind there will also be a shift to Scrypt mining in the future, at least partially.

For DTM it's most important to deploy capacity in order to fully utilize the potential of fast deployment and efficient operations. Having manufacturer support is an important element and it is in the interest of ALL chip manufacturers for their customers (miners) to be successful and "come back for more".

so now that we cleared that out could you people please stop being such bummers and be patient with AM? as i said, these operations take time.
but now would definitely a good time to.. buy buy buy Cheesy

Not to offend, or be fussy. But I think you were the impatient one earlier. We are just trying to make sure that misinformation isn't spread.

Franchised mining

can you elaborate? I also don't see a franchise in it - I franchise out a portion of one of my businesses, on the basis that the business name draws more business towards the franchise, for this, my franchisee pays me a franchise fee once every ten years - for it to be a franchise, I get paid - albeit payments for the franchising of my business are far and wide, but.. i get paid.

whoever are supplying the chips, are not getting paid, so - this is what you see as a franchise? strange.

It could be the old 80/20 franchised mining model AM did in the past. AM has a lot of chips, they can produce very cheaply. If they provide a certain amount of chips or blades to DataTank for free, they could receive e.g. a certain amount of hashing power from them (mining income).

now i'd very much appreciate an update (if not a confirmation) by FC or a trustable board member on this.

edit: or maybe for the next round of questions?
