What are your opinions on ASICMINER shares and their value/worth?  I'm thinking about getting a few just for the hell of it.  Also, what's the deal with moving sidewalks?

ASICMINER is generally known as one of the best crypto investment opportunities out there.

However, this does not mean it is risk free. Do not invest more than you are wiling to lose.

ASIC mining is the same as GPU mining back when bitcoin first came out, it will be very profitable until the difficulty catches up with in. however long that will take.

They are also creating and selling the mining equipment, so they are not just miners.
I've recently bought a few shares, so yes I think it's worth it.
It's one of the shares with lower risk, but it's by no means riskfree.

I consider all of my bitcoin to be house money (because I withdrew my initial investment when it hit $252, and still had plenty left).  So it would be more like diversifying within my btc investment. 

they are like the bluechip stock of BTC

They are worth it. i mean there are other way to make more profit. but this is one of the safest ways to get a return

Hi,

you could also try a community Asicminer approach like mine, see my signature ;)

I like Thursdays because I wake up and there's dividend notifications emails!

You get e-mails?  I just have to keep checking the address.

ASIC MINER IS NOT WORTH IT.

haha! a very direct statement there, please do elaborate...

I think its worth it. Especially the usb asic miner.

Think it depents on the electricity prices ... ASICS use less power /mHash.

I have indirect shares in ASICMINER, and I make a tidy dividend each week. I think the shares are worth it - if you dont think so once you have bought them you can always sell them

As with most things, there are risks. The price of shares is driven by supply and demand, and the dividend is driven by ASICMiners ability to maintain market share in the mining network.

They intend to scale up their mining operation as time goes on, and as difficulty increases, and they hope to maintain a roughly fixed percentage of total hashing power. This means that the dividends should be somewhat predictable.

I'm bullish on ASICminer because I believe in the approach they take. But, I dont care much for peoples opinions on what the "true" price should be, since all that matters is the current price, and your current opinion on whether that price is high or low.

What percent of the shares' price have you already received?
