Thanks a lot for this interesting comment! Honestly I haven't looked at it from this perspecitve and I'm happy you mentioned it.
First of all your calculations are spot on:-). It's totally accurate that we would need to sell 13K Mills to reach the point where the average price for the Mill would exceed 4 Hive each.
Our mills are a bit different from normal miners. If more LENM are sold and staked this will affect the buy back price of LEN positiviely in a linear fashion. At the same time the probabilty to get a payout from LENM is dimiuishing also in a linear proportion. This means that if there are more miners staked and running, your income will more or less stay stable. Therefore there is not a real competition between miner holders. The only problem would be if you hold less than 0.2% of the whole supply of LENM. In this case, you might not have the probability to get 1 payout per day (we are trying to find a solution for that).
However with more capital in the fund, the machine will start accelerating and we will all be profiting.
All this to try to explain that we see this as a community adventure where everybody involved should be able to profit in a similar way. The discounted miners should be an incentive for early adopters. When looking at our initial investment, we invested 4200 Hive into this project but we also put some serious quantity of working hours into it and this price was a kind of compensation for that.
I hope this all made sense and we would be very happy to have you on board :-)
At that point, if nobody does it, we probably will...
