Doog, could you post the invested amount over time as well?  It seems that it has been tapering out due to lack of action (and corresponding lack of meaningful return) recently.  Thanks!

In for 5 again.  Wishing everyone else luck and tie for 2nd low hash 

Dabs, could you update the calculation sheet as well to reflect actual addresses and tickets please?  Thanks!

I sure hope so, cuz my tickets are in.....

we need some whales 

Didn't take long for a JD ripoff to pop up, copied in detail down to the cheerful and uplifting color scheme.

profits > 5k
glad to be the tickler rather than the ticklee...

looks like satoshi got cuddled 

Woohoo!  Good return on my 0.05 investment.  Still down 0.7BTC from the whale rounds though.

YOLO or DIGS, that is the question.

nice fine print

The way I see it is that the whale got a freeroll, on a line of credit that the house extended erroneously.  If the whale had won 2,000 instead and immediately deposited 1,300 to cover the line of credit, would it be fair to roll that back too?

What if he deposited 650 before he started playing.  Would the winnings and/or losses be cut in half?

Hypothetical situations, yes.  But worth thinking about.

Doog is both an investor and the managing operator, and it requires 100% trust since only he has access to the secret key and the cold wallet.  Root access comes with great responsibility.

I have no doubts whatsoever about Doog's integrity.  For me personally, investment in the BTC world is all about two things.  Trust that the investment will not be stolen, and trust that the operation will be run well. 

For the record, I would have been fine with an immediate rollback.  Someone should take the loss, be it Doog or the investors, and move on.  For the house to win you need action, and antagonizing whales due to indecisiveness only drives action away.  Yes, the whale was an asshole but it was not his fault that he was given a freeroll.  Write off the loss and invite the whale to get action and make up the loss.  I divested mainly because of the way this situation was handled.

I have received both my investment and donation back, and I wish JD and Doog success.  This is one of the most well thought out and transparent sites I have seen.  Maybe I will revisit in the future.

Doog opted to take ownership of his own mistake and do the honorable thing.  Yes, technically he could have claimed it as an operating loss and charged the investors for the mistake, however IMO that would have damaged the reputation of both JD and Doog beyond repair.  

In the BTC world, investing is all about trust.  I think most of us agree that the long term value of JD is far greater than the 1300 lost to a mistake.  

As an investor I am concerned to see this type of mistake by the operator, but also reassured by the actions taken.  Personally I feel for Doog and will donate all investment profits for the next few months.  I see great potential in JD, and I hope Doog recovers from this temporary setback.

Thanks doog for doing the honorable thing, chucked in 2BTC (all I can afford).

Just to make sure, I contacted the seller.  They are no longer selling the old blades (10~13G for 56BTC) and are accepting orders for the new 10G blades for BTC 18.88 each, to be shipped in 10 days from friedcat (Shenzhen, southern China) directly.

Those in China may get the goods faster but not significantly cheaper.

IM record in Chinese for those interested:

Wow.  Day 1 and 9.72 already.  Ok, I'm in for 30 just to make it double digits

lucky enough to win #7, please let me win #8 
then again, the odds are against me with 34 out of 1055 tickets.....just-dice might have better odds

Spot on.  ASICMiner responds to market conditions (specifically, the increasing hashrate which is an indicator of new hardware coming online) appropriately by aggressively pricing and delivering.  Their price point is aggressive enough to entice people who are optimistic (or challenged at math) to purchase their hardware.  

However, their main source of income from their documents is by far their mining operations.  From a business perspective it means that they are making a killing off of their hardware sales even at their current relatively competitive pricing, since their mining operations are far more profitable using the same hardware.  

Their primary responsibility as a corporation is to maximize shareholder value, not to be altruistic to the Bitcoin economy.  And they have done an exceptional job for the shareholders.
