Like the business model, might become very relevant if we continue rising this market cap to the trillions soon...

What are competitors to look at to better evaluate the market place?

One more here! For two weeks they keep my BTG. I had simply transferred them from my margin to main wallet and they disappeared. So basically at this moment they stole my BTG...

TL;DR:  WTT good.  Save money.  My estimate: $2 to $2.50 each when listed on exchanges.


I believe they were surprised they didn't sell out and didn't have a plan B.

It isn't like they minted 30,000,000 physical WTT tokens, put them in a warehouse, then tried to sell them.  The tokens are electronic assets created on demand as they're purchased.  The offering constraints were 1) A maximum number of WTT to be sold and 2) A deadline after which WTT would no longer be sold.

They weren't required to sell a certain number of WTT; rather, the number of WTT sold determines how much hosting capacity they'll build and the timing and degree to which their post-buildout plans can be executed.

Think of it this way: Would you be disappointed if you wrote an Apple and Android app and sold only 22,000,000 copies rather than 30,000,000?  Would your company fold for the lack of an additional 8,000,000 units sold, units with an infinitesimal marginal cost of production?  Of course not.  It may limit how many more people you can hire to write and market your next great app, but it wouldn't be a failure.



Ay caramba, so much text with no useful information.

They will build facilities for the equivalent of around 40m WTT, no matter what. They didn't sell around 18m WTT but yet they will build these facilities, fact! They will be finished with all facilities by November. Consequently, as of now, these facilities - equivalent of 18m WTT - would be empty. So there is a larger supply than demand. I leave it up to you what you think the existing 22m WTT should be worth...

Just found this project, it seems interesting to me, but now I see that I missed the pre-sale. Is there any exchange available now?

Don't worry - they tried to raise cash for 40m WTT and only sold around 22m WTT or so. Yet, they will build facilities covering the whole 40m WTT anyway. I believe they were surprised they didn't sell out and didn't have a plan B. In hindsight it was good not to invest as there is way more supply than demand for now, not sure why anybody would pay 1.20 USD/WTT under these circumstances. They will dump the remaining WTT soon as facilities will be in operation in November (from the top of my head).


Why dump an asset of which pays daily interest ?  Its not a shitcoin like 90 percent of everything else, it has purpose and value.

Ever asked yourself who pays that rent if there is still an oversupply of coins? Why would somebody not buy the coins himself instead of renting to a high price from you? The coins are not scarce, that's the problem...

Looking forward to getting the tokens on Friday.



Yay for tokens, they have dropped.

Where are they listed and where can they be traded? Cannot find them on coinmarketcap.com

ok giga watt, you've lost me! I've asked you now several times the same question and you keep ignoring it. There is no reason to not answer these questions in this forum - too fishy for me.

Good luck for the rest!

I can answer some of the questions that I will personally ask them on slack. I am not lazy to join slack or telegram.

Pointless statement. What does it have to do with laziness if they simply refuse to answer these relevant questions in the forum? What's the point of dozens of people asking the same question via email or wherever else they refer to?

Anyhow, I won't join this ICO for this reason, lean back instead and observe how the guinea pigs are doing...

Dave, Cryptonomos Hello,

I am interested in buying tens to hundreds of thousands of WTT. At first I was quite excited with your idea but after careful examination I'm not so sure and I have some serious questions about your business model.

1. If space requirement for mining equipment doubles per 1W of power due to Moore's law in semiconductor manufacturing advances. Power consumption of chips drops down significantly with each generation. I have the following question.
For Example:
Currently some Mining GPU setup is taking 60x60x60 cm of space and consumes 1Kw/h of electricity.
In two years if equipment is upgraded to latest models that will require TWO GPU setups of 60x60x60 cm for the same 1Kw/h of electricity.

To meet your obligations to WTT token holders, Will Giga-Watt build new Giga-pods on a constant basis and allocate the additional space required for equipment upgrades on demand every couple of years for 50 years ?!?

2. Will Giga-Watt provide some storage to customers for spare parts for mining equipment that will wear out?
3. What about Network bandwidth? How much is provided with each 1W of power? Is there an option to buy more bandwidth?
4. What are the moisute levels in the area of the Giga-Watt pods? What is the effect on equipment from your experience? Is there rust after 1-2 years of operation?
5. You say you can meet customers custom demands. Why are you not providing your co-location customers the ability for remote access to their equipment hosted at your facilities?
Are your customers able to manage their hosted mining hardware themselves and have full control of it?
The equipment is managed by professionals with years of experience in mining.
They understand what is profitable to mine now, which pool is more profitable, etc.
They can quickly repair equipment.
We are in the same boat, the more profitable for you, the more profitable for Giga Watt.
So your technicians will decide what is profitable to mine on behalf of your customers and on their equipment? What is this??
You say repeatedly throughout the thread that customers can choose what coins they mine. Then you say exactly the opposite.

6. On the below comment you state there are not set up fees. But later in this thread you stated there is one time setup fee of $20 for aciscs and $40 for GPU rigs. Are there any other Hidden fees?
Otherwise i see no real difference to cloud mining.
First and foremost it is our transparency. Giga Watt's facility is a real-life tangible project which you can tour if you attend our Open House, which we hold twice a month. Giga Watt's customers own the specific equipment: They know their serial numbers and can see them on the shelves in the unit. Another advantage is that Giga Watt's customers purchase their equipment at cost, without any markup, pay zero setup fees and extremely low effective electricity and maintenance fees: just 2.8c и 0.5c per kW/h respectively.

7. Who are "retail customers"? Customers who buy full turnkey mining or WTT token holders?
From https://cryptonomos.com/wtt/faq
"Does Giga Watt only mine bitcoins?
Giga Watt mines all scalable cryptocurrencies: BTC, LTC, ETH/MONERO/ZCASH/DASH. The decision of what currency to mine is made by the customers who own the mining equipment. But at this stage it is technically impossible to offer all of these options to retail customers. Giga Watt is working on the solution, and hopefully in the future this option will be offered. At this point retail customers can mine only BTC, ETH, and LTC."

8. If you don't provide your customers with remote access to their equipment. How can your customers be sure you are not overclocking their equipment for  for 10-15% to your advantage (especially GPU setups) in expense of the lifetime of the equipment?
9. Cryptonomos. Who are you? What is your name? Would be nice to know who are we talking to. Are you a Cryptonomos or Giga-Watt employee? I you rather prefer to remain anonymous. Please ask Dave Carlson to answer these questions from his account here on BitcoinTalk.
10. What exactly is included in $0.5 cents maintenance fee? Which kind of work/procedures?
11. If I decide to power off my miners for a period of time. Will there be any charges? Since I paid for the rent for 50 year ahead can I store my miners there even if they are offline as how much as I need?

Unless you can provide satisfying answers to the above questions, Especially question 1 and 5. I will unfortunately have to pass on your business proposal.

The ability for me to fully control my hosted hardware via remote access is a "To be or not to be" type of issue.

Best Regards.




Due to the specifics of your questions, please refer these questions to Support@giga-watt.com.

NO! I have the same questions and many others likely too, so save your time and post your replies here!!!

Some of these are very good questions & not covered by the white paper. Myself along with many other potential investors would much appreciate someone from their team to answer them if possible Grin I have an invoice I am currently sitting on and quite willing to pay if these can be answered as best they can. It would be in their interest and also save copying this out many times to the many people very willing to ask these questions privately if not. Thanks

We apologize for the absence in response. As a new company and high volume of requests, we are expanding daily to keep up with these inquiries and also questions posted on forums. If you have a specified questions please email support@giga-wat.com  Thank you for your patience.

Great, gigawatt-support finally on board!

Please answer post #667, then we all profit from the answer instead of individually emailing you.

Does anyone here happen to know if buying miners direct from Bitmain, can we have them shipped directly to Gigawatt's facility? Actually, two questions:

1) Will Bitmain allow this?

2) Will Gigawatt take responsibility for receiving them on miners' behalf?

Thx,

RRM

I've asked them the same thing already, so I can take this.

Currently they don't accept any own miners, no space left. As soon as you have tokens, you can decide to send your own miners. Make sure you as well order the PSU.

But do the math, miner + PSU + cords + delivery + set-up cost should more or less add up to bitmain's price. At least giga-watt doesn't have an unreasonable margin on this, so I think it's fair to do it via them.

Edit: As well think about any sort of import tax issues. After all these products are shipped out of China, not sure they will add some US import tax or whatever on top of it and not sure giga-watt will deal with it all.

What I don't understand: I got the reply that space is fully exhausted for own miners but I could order one with them directly. As soon as I buy my tokens, I should be able to send my own miners? Can anybody answer this?

If so, what would be the problem to order directly on bitmain? What about installing these devices, potential extra cords which might not be part of bitmain's delivery, customs tax etc. - would giga-watt take care of this and eventually deploy this machine?

Alright, first post but promised, I did my homework by going through the thread. Wouldn't call myself a newbie but still plenty of (simple) questions open.

Question: Anybody experienced up for some kind of mentor program / long-term assistance? Payback would be using your referral code and I actually intend to invest quite a bit into cryptonomos, possibly incl. miners.

Just PM with some background info rg. your experience!
