A small correction.
For simplicity I assume they will start just after difficulty adjustment.
When they make the 24 TH grow to 30 TH, the difficulty will be adjusted earlier.  It'll be adjusted after 5/6 * 14 days = 11.6 days, to 6/5 higher value.
So there would be ~8400 BTC for the first ~11.6 days plus ~1400 BTC for the next  ~2.4 days (of higher difficulty) before next batch.
Than the third week would give 8400 * 5/6 = ~7000 BTC (because of 6/5 times higher difficulty).

So a total of 16800 BTC would be mined by ASICMINER in the first 3 weeks.

One learns throughout life. Why ASICs couldn't be tested by JTAG connector? Or have internal temperature read out at prototype boards?

The original contract stated:
Mining is still profitable, operator is able to perform his duties, so it is only a matter of his willingness.
I find it quite unfair to close it all just before period of high income after conversion to ASIC.

It is similar to taking people to a journey and, just before changing from train to a plane, ordering them to get out and stop traveling because they are not happy with rates of currency conversion.

Josh,

People were buying the BFLS shares, counting on the conversion to ASIC. There would be no much sense in buying or keeping the shares if there was no conversion promised. One would better put the money into Jalapeno/Single SC order.
The planned conversion to ASIC kept the shares value quite higher than the one calculated from the device USD price.

A several months had passed and we heard about another conversion: to BFLS.RIG.
The proposed rate (1:1) was not quite fair in light of the planned conversion to ASIC, because going to SC MiniRigs it would finally give us ~10% less GH/s (so less dividend values) than going to SC Singles.
We pointed that out and proposed more fair rate. It was 1:1.1 so every 10 BFLS shares would be changed to 11 BFLS.RIG shares. One single share would be changed to one share - the numbers are integer until Inaba starts using real numbers or split the shares tenfold (quite good solution).
But we also wrote we could live with the not-quite-fair 1:1 ratio.

What do we see today?

What does it mean? Do you want to pay 0.2 BTC or 0.7 BTC per share? Will the possibility to buy BFLS.RIG shares be guaranteed? Will the offer be closed or will other people have the possibility to buy the shares before us?
The price is yet undetermined so it may be worse or even way worse to what we would get with 1:1.1 or 1:1 ratio conversion. Are we supposed to take part in a race to buy the new shares?
Sorry Inaba, but it looks for me like the Nefario way of doing things - to make the things easier, you want to make troubles and lost income for the shareholders, finally causing yourself troubles, more work and lost reputation?

Why can't you simply keep to promised conversion to ASIC?
Do split each BFLS.RIG share to 10 new RIG shares and convert each BFLS share into 11 new RIG shares (it can be just 10 RIG shares until the real change of MiniRig/Singles to SC MiniRig, but it is of no importance because of diminishing dividends).

There are 3507 BFLS shares and 3819 BFLS.RIG shares - it's only the part of all shares.

Without reliable public claims we cannot determine if there are thousands of BTC unpaid or not.
But look at what Nefario announced today:

Maybe we are wrong and only several thousands BTC was returned so far.
But I never saw anyone declaring he was waiting for a hundred BTC or more. People are ranting here for a few BTC or less, not received by them.
Do you mean thousands of coins to be paid out by Nefario or just thousands of coins in form of GLBSE assets to be released by passing the data to the issuers?

Do you expect all GLBSE users would publicly declare themselves here?
Big part of them knows nothing of this thread and many of them want to remain anonymous.
It is obvious the sum of what was published will be much less than what was paid.

Still.

I agree. That's fair.
Then merging BFLS into BFLS.RIG with neutral exchange ratio - based on ASIC hashrate (to keep the hashrate the same).

Or calculate the above and do it all in one step.

Meni, you're definitely wrong. There is a constant trade back price for a Single ($599) and a MiniRig ($15295) - until March 31th.

1:1 rate is proper for running Singles with MiniRigs together and having one combined payout.
However, this rate is not good for hardware exchange or upgrading to SC,
because one will get higher final hashrate for Single upgraded to Single SC,
than for 200 BFLS.RIG shares when MiniRig is upgraded to MiniRig SC.

200 BFLS shares is equivalent to old Single = 599/1299 of Single SC = (599/1299)*60 GH/s = 27.66743649 GH/s

200 BFLS.RIG shares is equivalent to 200/6058 of old MiniRig = (200/6058)*(15295/29899) of MiniRig SC = (200/6058)*(15295/29899)*1500 GH/s = 25.33289388 GH/s

27.66... / 25.33... = 1.092... which  is close enough to 1.1 rate proposed by Epoch.
Until ASIC 2.

Inaba, do you really have to combine them?

Hm, you may be right. I've just thought there was no point in keeping "Possible claims process..." open while Nefario had started to send asset data to issuers.
Yes, I should have asked you, the OP, to close the thread. So, do as you wish.

EuroTrash, you will quickly earn the respect to Nefario when you see what is needed at Gigamining.

Sebastian, I know about it very well, because it was me who wrote about the doublepayments here and in the e-mail to Nefario the day when they happend,
asked for the address to return, and was the first to use the above address to return the excess of the money.

As one can learn from the lecture of the thread, many people refused to use one address for all because of possible difficulties with differentiating who paid and who didn't.
They requested one address per person. Part of them got own addresses from Nefario by e-mail, but many got nothing. They need to contact him.

I placed here the citations from blog.glbse.com to let people know the good news.

(To moderators: I'm sorry for crossposting this, but it is of great interest for many people. I think this thread should be closed with an indication of "GLBSE Payment Claims (Announce your payment here)" thread.)

The sending started yesterday.
