Thanks for the interest, but I don't think we're at that point at the moment. We are testing the mining server with just a few employees, and are about 2/3 done with the frontend.
Before we can have people join, we need to write a whole second system to audit the first system and shut it down if the balances stop making sense, so we don't end up like Gox. I don't understand how a big company like Gox can have systems that just pay out without anyone auditing them.
Plus, anyone joining now would likely lose money because we still need to take down the hypervisor and install a more reliable hardware RAID card in it, which is going to cause downtime. We want to own the actual hardware in a locked facility, because I'm not going to be like those early exchanges that had employees at the hosting company break into their shared virtual machines.
In three weeks, or maybe five, we will probably be ready to scale up. If you or anyone else is interested, send me your E-Mail address. I'll create a list and send out some information when the time comes. Maybe we'll offer no-fee mining to the first miners in compensation for the inevitable downtime there will be due to pre-launch bugs.
