Given that ASICminer still seems to be the only show in town in terms of quoted mining co's other than BASIC-MINING (who are struggling to get hardware) I believe there is room for some competition.

I have business expertise (I'm a successful cloud IaaS entrepreneur - see memset.com) and am fairly technical but building a GPU mining rig is about my limit. I am interested in getting into the ASIC/FPGA mining game though, and I have money. I also have spare space in a data centre with very cheap, renewable power.

I'm therefore potentially looking for someone bright and capable who could partner up with me to make a mining co where we build and own the rigs ourselves using either Avalon chips or perhaps just specifying the FPGA chips ourselves. We could perhaps exploit the fact that Avalon have open sourced some of their tech too.

I'd provide business management, some development resource (I've several developers in my employ and can get some support from them) and cash to the party. Ideally I would want someone who could commit their full time and who was willing to spend at least some time in Surrey, where I'm based. I can potentially provide a basic wage while we get going, though there would be the usual salary/equity trade off.

At this stage I am thinking of making the shares exclusively available via BTC Trading Co's exchange and we'd use an IPO there to raise additional funds for hardware purchase. In the near term we could pool our GPU mining resources to get going (assuming you had some), or but more; I should be able to re-purpose the GPU rigs after they become useless for BTC mining in Memset's GPU cloud.

Anyway, bit of a long shot since I doubt anyone is available and in the UK, but worth asking!

Kate.

pm on its way

Not that I am questioning your authenticity but how does that prove anything? I think you meant to do it the other way around - post something here about what you WILL post on twitter. There's nothing stopping me from posting a message claiming that I am you now and saying "look I posted that tweet before I made this post"

 


Good luck with your search - it's too bad I'm not in the UK as I'd love someone with more money and data centre space!

tldr: You have nothing to offer but money. Any ASIC designer who had the skills to make an ASIC, and who read this forums will already be doing it.

It's a matter of money. But because production in a modern process is very expensive, not because an EE wouldn't work on it on his own. I'm EE and I know I would have done it but I didn't have the resources. It's not looking good now, too late.

Mining is already in an diminishing returns stage (for hardware developers).

Hi Kate. Sent you an email.

Peace.

It's a separate issue.

Mining can be the way forward for people with expertise and resources in the field. Electrical engineers are not going to pursue legal counselling. To each his own.

You can look at it either way, however it seems much more unlikely to me that the real Kate might post that and the impostor would be poised ready to take advantage of that. If you look back through my twitter history you will see no similar example of me making authenticity verification posts and the timeline fits in with the discussion on this thread.

Anyway, sorry about slow response!

Edit: you do have a point though I must concede. Herewith another verification code, this time posted here first: DivestKansasNearby1. You'll have to check my @Memset_Kate timeline though since if I edit this again to link in the specific tweet I might have as well have edited it to retrospectively change the code!

Poland? This gotta be some sort of an inside joke. Please explain it for the left-pond-ians and other readers from around other ponds.

Your loss. I'm not just money, I'm about to collect my doctorate from from my local university's computing department.

I build Memset's initial systems (for deploying virtual machines in a fully automated manner) myself, back in 2002 - long before cloud/virtualisation was a thing.

In short, I'm an expert in business and technology. A business venture with me is much more likely to succeed that a few kids plugging stuff together in bedrooms.

Kate.
