It makes you wonder who responsible.  Anyone who knows Doog even a little bit, knows he will never pay "protection", even if it meant the end of the site.  To me, this is almost certainly a competitor.  I doubt Stunna would do such a thing or coinroll.it, most likely a new competitor.  So what new sites have gone up to compete with Just-Dice and are run by a known scumbag?
Only ones I can think of are letsdice, letdice and um, letsdice.

WHat realsolid needs to do is drop crap coins like: mincoin, solidcoin, copperlark and worldcoin.  Then add coins which are more popular such as XPM, PPC, NVC and DGC.

Why don't we forget about the dividend all together and focus on reinvesting the profits into staying competitive.

cause he doesn't need the whole dividend to do that.

Actually, he doesn't need all of the profits. He doesn't need any of the dividend. The dividend is what's left over after he reinvests some of the profits.  Wink

so why is asicminer dropping in value? he should be on top of the game right now.
Because there is more credible competition for gen 2 than gen 1.  At this point, day to day price movements meaningless until we see who starts shipping or hasing with gen 2 miners in volume first. We won't really know where AM stands until mid-November.

It seems to me it is not healthy for the Bitcoin community to have BTCGuild currently with 43% of the entire network hash rate and still growing.  This can be a real risk to the entire blockchain if if pool becomes compromised.

Are there ways to earn this coin without mining, maybe by writing?
What do you mean?

I am also willing to share links and make YouTube videos or anything else.

Anything bloggy that can help the coin.
Ex: Devcoin has a whole wiki site that pays the authors, while at the same time bringing new users to Devcoin.
This coin was launched without any pre-mine, insta-mine and completely fairly.  As a result, there is no stash of coins held by the devs for a bounty.

So was Bitcoin, and I can earn them for chatting.
That is something Tradefortress has funded out of his own pocket largely to promote his eco-system of Inputs.io and Coinlenders.

This whole thing seems so sketchy.  So in 3 days, they have 100,000 BTC wagered?  And that is with the highest house edge out there of 2% (double that of Just-Dice, Primedice and coinroll.it).  I am going to laugh my ass off when any idiots who fall for this scam cry like babies.

But hey the anonymous "Martin Gale" with no prior rep or posts beyond a couple weeks ago is the OP and it is endorsed by Nakowa/celeste/cici/towtoad a known thief, scammer and all around scumbag.  So funny.
336  Economy / Securities / Re: ASICMINER Speculation Thread on: September 13, 2013, 01:33:37 AM
My guess is Asicminer is going to fall behind with all the new competition for gen 2.  However, I am not so confident as to try and short AM.  Fact is, Friedcat has an great track record and although I am not willing to buy AM now, he is not a man I am willing to bet against either. Staying on the sidelines at this points.
337  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XPM] Working on a GPU miner for Primecoin, new thread :) on: September 12, 2013, 12:03:13 PM
Exactly the opposite. VPS generated coins are high-cost coins, hosting + electricity has to be paid, no mercy. Single guy with his 4x-Radeon mining rig has to pay only electricity, all other costs can be postponed, so his coins are low-cost. Price will sink like a rock at the very moment somebody successfully debugs this miner.
So VPS mined coins are to be sold immediately, aren't they?

At the end of every month at the latest to pay hosting providers or you are shutdown. Not exactly like when you have a machine with a spare GPU which can crank coins with minimal costs, than you can choose if you will sell them or not. With VPS you have no choice but sell.
They could hold the coins until the prices raise if they have the financial wherewithal to do so.  Still, for the majority of VPS miners, you are probably right.  A good GPU miner by both increasing difficulty, network strength & decentralization would probably lead to higher prices.

I see this stock is pretty huge in terms on market cap.

Is this a 1 man run operation? What if this Friedcat dude dies? Will stock tank or what?

Can anyone see who are the people behind this ASICMiner? How many people are involved in this operation?

Welcome to the party. Can you please read around before you waste our time checking the thread and fining this instead of good information and arguments..

I have checked the original ASICminer thread and there are no clear answers to any of my questions.

So here is some speculation for you: If friedcat dies there's a good chance this stock will go to zero.

Also this guy's associates are not listed anywhere. Guy just posted in his thread that his friends are involved and that's that.
Quote
"Q: What about your partners?
A: They are my friends also located in China. I know them in person, trust
them myself in person. They are enthusiastic to this project and already commited a lot of hard
work at their best to make it succeed."
Why not give some names, references and so on?

Friedcat mentioned some measures are in place in case somebody get hit by a bus.
For the names, AM is not trustful to shareholders now because of names, references and so on, but because it fulfills its promises. If you're not happy with that, don't buy shares. Period.


Bernard Madoff fulfilled his promises for quite some time. But thanks for the info. That pretty much answers my questions.

Guess I won't touch this stock. You have to basically hope this guy will still be alive or doing his thing tomorrow or day after that and that he does indeed have backups in place and that those backups he has are trustworthy. In my book hope is not an investment strategy but to each his own. "I am more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money.".

Fact that he's located in China also doesn't inspire much confidence. Just ask Sino-Forest investors and they'll tell you why.

I also see dividends have been falling lately without clear explanation as to why and one friedcat provided was not too convincing.
It is the same for almost every bitcoin stock. Remember, the biggest securities fraud in bitcoin history, by piratesat40 was done by an American who never even hid his real name.  In bitcoin world all you have is your reputation and track record.  There are very few in the same trust league as Friedcat such as John K, Dooglus, theymos and Burnside. if you not going to trust these people, then you cannot invest in any bitcoin securities since there is nothing better from a trust perspective out there.

So the hash rate is markedly down for the last few days to 2%.  This is out of proportion to the total increase in network hash rate (meaning not a simple result of being diluted by other hash power added to the total network but also blades going offline).

Only three possibilities:
1. A catastrophic hardware failure (very bad news - we going to 1.5 - 2)
2. Moving hardware to a new location with better cooling/power infrastructure (slightly bad news since some coins lost in the meantime but a transient issue, may see a short-term small dip)
3. Blades being taking down to be replaced with new gen 2 blades (extremely good news, would mean a solid 2-3 month lead time on competitors and stock will be in the 5-6 range shortly if confirmed)

Anyone on the board of directors have some more information?

It seems Bitstamp is the new Mt. Gox in most people's eyes now.  I hope they have done a better job complying with US AML laws and registered as a MTB in the US states.  At the very least, I hope they are keeping very little funds in any US bank which are subject to seizure.
