Possible scenarios:
- Rockminer was the underwriter for the ipo and mops up unsold units.
- Rockminer is responsible for the deployment and operations of the mining farm and is paid for this, but amhash forum name and find are owned by AM.
- ? ? ?
(Still
possible scenarios)
- ASICMINER has acquired a majority stake in Rockminer and incorporated the company as their hardware manufacturing unit and hashing operator? (Honestly...this might be the best thing that could possibly happen to both companies right now... wonder if anyone has considered it?)
Why would they have opted to 'split' ROCKMINER off of ASICMiner back in March if they now incorporated it again. I don't buy that theory. It's an interesting thought, but nah... I don't think so.
Rockminer was never part of AM, it's a company created by Rockxie - an AM board member. As to Rockminer's role in AMHash, from the
AMHash website:
Basic operation mode for AMHash1 is that ASICMiner is in charge of providing hashing power and mining farm maintenance while RockMiner is in charge of marketing and operation.
