Nakowa, you are such an scumbag. You are matching investments to yourself. Dooglus should confiscate your investment if you have the balls to re-invest at just-dice after first stealing 1300 and now running a scam. Unfortunately, unlike your pathetic ass, Dooglus has honor and would not do so even if justified. Having said that, any moron who actually invested, deserves to lose their coins to this scam for blatant stupidity. |

Ooops, I was off by a day! :  Ignore the above countdown timer and use this one below which ends at midnight UTC on Sunday 9/8/2013 That one was wrong too. Here's a correct one: Timer removed. End time: 2013-09-09+00:00:00UTC 2 days left and top bid only .05 BTC |

updated OP with link to excellent primecoin article, link to beeeer.org annoucement thread and an additional XPM shop

HES A DEGENERATE GAMBLER. He will gamble with your coins should he lose quite a bit of his own. Your coins are not safe here.
Good point. However funds can be easily made publicly accountable. Yes you will be able to publicly account when he steals all your bitcoins. Does that make you feel better? lol |

Keep in mind out of the 5145 funding the IPO, 5100 BTC he is self-funding under an alias nakowa/cici/celeste

good time to buy? or wait a bit longer?
Wait for 1.5 at least. My target is 1.57 or below  Keep dreaming! Considering we were at 5 a month ago, that is too much bravo you are showing. |

Just so you know, this OP is celeste/nakowa/cici - of Just-Dice infamy. This is the guy who won big (like 5000 BTC) and then when Dooglus made an error and left 1300 BTC in his account after a withdraw, he gambled them away. Then made up a ridiculos excuse someone got access to his labtop and did it, not him. How does he thank Dooglus for not only not holding it against him, but letting him invest on the site after he stole from him? He makes a copycat site. Sorry, but celeste/cici/nakowa/Martin Gale is a piece of sh*t. Anyone that gives your coins to someone who has proven himself to be dishonest deserves to lose them. And anyway, besides that he cannot be trusted for investors, who would play a 1.98% house edge dice game when there are 3 established (and reputable) dice games (Just-Dice, Primedice and coinroll.it) with 1% house edges? Here the article of the incident: http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-gambler-cheats-satoshidice-competitor-just-dice-out-of-1300-btc/ |

Nakowa reinvested 5k (a few more 100btc than he withdrew a few days ago). Hopefully he starts gambling again and gives us some excitement

I believe fair value at this point has been reached. Dividend size (unless an extreme #) will have a much smaller impact on the AM price for the next several weeks than it has traditionally.
Those who believe AM will not be able to keep up with the next wave of ASIC technology have sold, while bulls have added to their position. Bulls will be unphased by a drop in dividends since it will only be seen as bullish to them since it means increased R&D. The bear argument of a decrease in dividends is obvious.
I believe the only two things will move the share price significantly in the next couple months:
1. Any news about the new AM hardware (specs and when it will be delivered)
2. Any news (good or bad) about the competition. This especially goes for the new batch of unproven unknowns with big promises such as bitfury, cointerra and hashfast. If they deliver on schedule, AM will drop well below 2. If they start announcing missing specs or deadlines, this will benefit AM. News of a serial disappointment such as BFL actually delivering on such projects as the Monarch will pummel AM, but I would think that is as probable to occur as the sun going supernova by the end of the year. I do predict a lot of whining by those who BFL duped towards the end of the year, but I suspect there will not be much sympathy for them on the boards. Afterall, full us once shame on you, full us twice.....
I personally believe friedcat will deliver and add the majority of his new hashing power in November and December, with sales to the community of this news higher performing hardware not until February. His emphasis will be on improving the network hash percantage of asicminer rather than selling to the miner community. To me, if you want to decide if AM will recover or continue its tailspin, your real focus needs to be on the competitors, both individually and collectively.
I cannot say where Asicminer will be in January 2014, except to say it will be either much higher or lower than it is currently.
My prediction: In January 2014 this will either be go below 1.25 or back above 4.5. If there were long-dated options available in AM, I would say play the volatility and buy both Out-of-the money call and puts. Sadly, know such options exist, so either pick a side or go to the sidelines if you cannot tolerate volatility.

Why is it so difficult for people to understand what an "early beta" is?
Who here was around at the launch of primecoin? Remember how horrifically slow the first miner was? Well, it didn't seem that way, but comparing that to the latest high performance miners, it was abysmal. But the code was written,and then other people stepped into the gap.
Fast forward now. You made a DONATION for the guys time, and he promised early access to the beta release. That he even produced it was a feat, anyone that says otherwise, well, where's the GPU miner you developed? Thought so. You got your working beta; betas are never complete pieces of software- they often lack features (say, support for lots of people's different configurations) and aren't necessarily optimized. That comes later in the process.
But, even if he turns out not to be the one that produces the fully optimized code, he built the framework so that others can start working in in that. But you don't even know, for all anyone here knows, he's already working on optimizations. I'm not even a programmer, and I seem to have more of a clue about the software development process. I'll note that I did beta test a lot of Mac graphics software in the 90's, however..,
just because you don't like the end result doesn't mean it's a scam
After so many threads being opened up,speculating that he ran off with the money, you all owe him a huge apology; clearly he was working after all.maybe, just maybe, the code is as optimized as it will ever be, and gpus are useless for mining; that still doesn't negate the fact that he we t and did the work that demonstrated that. Remember, primecoin is a completely different beast than bitcoin; just because bitcoin could be made to run like a bat out of hell on gpus (compared to CPUs), there was zero assurance in the process that a primecoin miner would do the same. But, again, he did the work porting a CPU miner to run on a gpu, nobody but nobody else has accomplished even that.
Basically, shut up and give the guy a break. He delivered exactly as promised, and being that "beta" means "not yet complete" and NOT "100% done, but just letting a few people play around it before everyone else does", in all likelihood he's continuing to work on it. Frankly, though, Given this reaction, I would applaud him if he either ceased development altogether or went ahead and finished it and said "sorry guys, the miner is running great, but I'm just going to run it on my private gpu farm, because my computers don't complain and spread libel about me"
You guys give this place a bad name. And why in the world would a future developer want to embark on something to potentially benefit all of us if this is the thanks they get for it?
Relax. You donated to a cause. He worked on that cause.whether that cause would even be fruitful was a big question. But clearly no one was scammed; the guy wanted to be paid for his time, you all lined up and paid, he spent that time, that you don't like the outcome does not imply you should be refunded. After all if you wanted a refund, you should pay with PayPal and stay far, far away from crytocyrrencies, because they protect developers from exactly these sorts of situations.
/ Did he release the source code so other can try to finish his work? |

I think Primecoin will overtake Litecoin, though maybe something better will come along and replace them both!

Though it is fair to say have a very small # of huge holders of the currency would be detrimental to its longterm viability.

Dooglus' irresponsible advertising has ruined my life. J-D used to be a nice family place where we all just talked smacked about eachothers mothers and occasionally someone stuck a sparkler up their butt. But then he permitted a webcam whore to advertise on the site. I clicked the alluring banner ad but Ravin was not doing it for me, but then I found Brina: http://www.myfreecams.com/?baf=11771344#Brina_Next thing I know I lost an hour of productivity watching her take a bath. Thank you Dooglus - now I am addicted to webcam whores:( What's next, linking us to Silk Road and getting me hooked on the crack?! |

Three things:
1. You should look at this like a kickstarter project. You are donating to see a final product but not necessarily buying it. The goal is to release it open-source for the community to improve.
2. Has the source code been released?
3. mtrlt could do a lot to calm nerves by posting and giving some suggestions on getting it to work and indicating he will be working on bux fixes to make it usable
