ASICMINER: where you make 15k in a day (if cashing out now)

Yes but if we buy the unit for less then you will pay less per share.
1. If there is interest for that. I assume you want a public list?
2. Yes, converted to BTC. I can't pay my electricity bill with BTC (yet)
3. Yup. I will be setting up a local stratum proxy. Most likely btcguild as primary pool, but this is open to suggestions
4. They will be paid in a reasonable amount of time. At first twice a week or so, later when mining proceeds reduce once a week or once every two weeks.. Etc.

Nothing is set in stone.

4 BTC received / 4 shares sold.

Update:
Server issue fixed. Nothing was compromised (user error on my part, viewing control panel for old server), but it's good to be sure

There's pretty much no chance that a few dozen bidders won't pay.

This pretty much just shifts from trusting the network to trusting arbitrary green addresses.

Not a good idea.

Someone who only read the first few posts probably.

Happy to write a good quality recap if I can include a text ad there

Nice find Sergio. Quite old vulnerability through

You still should get 5000 satoshi back.

Maybe it's not processed yet.

Obviously not 20 BTC per hour.

Good luck! Trust (& more likely to get 100 shares sold) has a value too by the way

Also would appreciate a quote with link instead of just copying my text.

The first 10 ASICMINER units sold has a historical value too - just like how the first raspberry pis fetched a lot on eBay.

If the mining unit is sold, then 95% of the price would be divided among shareholders.

Nice idea!

Because I don't want to [buy stuff off / lend coins / etc] to a hacked account, or have people lend to me when my account is hacked?

2017: 12.5 BTC per block
2021: 6.25 BTC per block
2025: 3.125 BTC per block

[By then you should be very happy if ASICMINER is still mining and nothing has gone wrong]

ASICMINER shares will eventually decline in value because of the block reward halving. Eventually there would be no block subsidy and mining will purely earn transaction fees.

The network will become faster when there are more miners or hashpower
Myth.
The network regulates itself with the mining difficulty to try and get 1 block every 10 minutes, on average. An increase in hashpower will result in more blocks being mined until the difficulty retargets higher (every ~2000 blocks)

If I don't see a double spend transaction on the network, it is safe to assume that this transaction won't be doublespent
Myth.
A miner can include any transaction in their block, including something that has being never broadcast to the network. A blockchain fork is required if it conflicts with an existing transaction included in a block.

We would know if someone has more than 50% hashpower
Myth.
An attacker with more than 50% hashpower could be mining his own chain and not announcing it to the network (from the last checkpoint in bitcoind). As his chain will be longer, when he announces it will immediately propagate and override the current chain.

Critical mass in this sense means what it will take for bitcoin to sustain and grow to become the most used currency.

Is the critical mass 1% of all transactions? 0.1%? 0.01%?

Group buy (if there is enough interest), get a share of the blade for less than 1 BTC: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178709.msg1862693
