Hey kroneko!  Nice to have you back.  Things just keep rolling along...  This thread is probably due for an update, so here's what has happened recently.

At the end of July I met with nonnakip as he flew out to spend some time sitting in boats and enjoying the scenery of Northern California.  We had some great discussions about things that could be done to bring some more fun and activity to NastyFans and hopefully some of them materialize in the future as it would be great to get more activity on this project.  This international travel led to a 22 hour delay in issuing a refund that caused quite a stir a while back.  Sure, complaining about a 22 hour refund delay while someone is traveling internationally is not exactly logical, but that's the state of bitcointalk and it's members these days.  Here's my response on the thread: https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5264804.msg54884247#msg54884247

I no longer own the NastyCenter property.  A decade long boom in real estate has resulted in the sale of the NastyCenter property as I reduce the amount of properties owned in an effort to rebalance my real estate portfolio to being focused on providing entertainment instead of investment returns.  Sale of this property has closed, so the NastyCenter is no more.  In 2015 we were utilizing this space to mine because heat was the limiting factor, not electricity rates.  Considering we haven't utilized this property in nearly half a decade, I don't see it having any effect whatsoever on this organization.

Our S17Pro is operating at 2/3 capacity.  Last month we had a chain of ASICs become non-functional.  I've been quoted a price of $300 + parts to have it looked at and repaired, but I'm not sure if it is worth it at this point as I had been thinking about selling the unit to upgrade to S19 hardware.  We have quite a bit of funds sitting around that would make this $300 a non-issue, but I feel at this point in the Bitcoin price cycle it might be wise to just let things go as they are and wait for an opportunity to put our funds to use.  I'm always open to suggestions if anyone had some on how to proceed with hardware and our savings.

I think that covers most of the excitement we've had lately.  I feel like while this project has been quiet, we're currently sitting with the highest $ amount in savings we've ever had, our product line for sale at https://nastyfans.org/mint is full of great options, we have both ASIC & GPU miners generating returns, and have had 44 weeks in a row of donation distributions that give us plenty of hope for the future.  I never dreamed we would reach this level of success when I raised a couple hundred dollars to run an FPGA miner for the community, but now that we have, it feels like we're still just getting started on what could be possible with the right community spirit.  

I also want to remind people to login every once in a while to keep your account active. We also chat quite a bit in our slack group still and if anyone wants in, drop me a PM.

We have received our final payout from Nicehash for funds that were stolen in the 2017 hack.  This makes a 100% recovery of BTC that we were owed. 

You can read the Nicehash CEO letter here: https://www.nicehash.com/blog/post/nicehash-ceo-letter

are you still paying back people all the lost funds from your "venture"?

nice to hear - I see that a lot of the feedback on that issue has not been changed yet so was curious. Have you thought about getting more miners to increase your revenue? half a mil can make for a decent sized addition to your current mining.

Who gets to decide how these funds are spent?  Will the donators benefit from more battery storage at your house?

On August 2, 2014 you paid out an approx 1% insurance fund of 65btc - meaning you lost approx 6,435 btc (at the time of your bragging post above were worth $220 million dollars)

On August 2 those coins were worth maybe $100,000.  You have half a million now - is anyone against you paying off your investment debts? 

1) Don't claim imaginary seperation of your funds Mr. finance.  You've already paid a fine for tax evasion
2) If you attempt to deflect or call my facts anything else, I'll escalate it until everyone sees if you do the right thing.

p.s.  I will contact Guinness for you.

if you have half a million dollars in stored funds, maybe increase the distribution percentage? that would also put funds back in the seat owners hands.

Possibly go to 50 or somewhere between -  or go big with the miners - if I had half a million - I would be adding at least a few PH

If we wanted to raise the distribution % for seats we would need to lower NastyMining’s % not raise it. Going big with miners seems like a good idea, but I think that’s probably the riskiest thing we could do at this point in the market cycle. A continued rise in the BTC price would flood the market with more miners, drowning us in higher difficulty while at the same time reducing our amount of BTC held so we don’t get to enjoy as much price appreciation. I’d much rather buy mining equipment when the price is on the decline. I hear that more miners seems to be the popular suggestion thus far, so I will look into picking up another GPU soon, which shouldn’t make much of a difference in our savings.
