I'm shocked that everyone drags this down to a very personal level. This is worse than the LAB IPO thread.

Mabsark, you're included. A lie is defined as a false statement to a person or group made by another person or group who knows it is not the whole truth, intentionally. I totally get your point like stated above, but I do not think that his beviour is intentionally malicious and exaggerated statements only fuel the fire.

VE, remember how shit went down when Ken set up the second wall without a prior announcement? Everyone freaked out for a pretty good reason. Now those delays seem very minor in comparison, but the inner essence remains the same. Just imagine your stack would end up in tender-limbo. That would suck, wouldn't it? I know you would call Ken and talk things out, but that's your way to deal with it. Please don't get me wrong, this is not an attack, but an appeal for more emphathy - even if it seems negatable.

I'm playing devil's advocate now and point out a worst case scenario and the consequences of this discussion: we esentially don't know how many shares are stuck in tender, do we? And rageing at everyone who points out an issue will only result in less people raising their voice. I really don't think this is the case, but I want to make sure that everyone understands where this could lead to.

I advise both sides to take a step back. We all have the same goal here and should work together to accomplish this.

It is not true that the bid side on Bitstamp is weak, there is much hidden power behind, especially since most of the buys are driven by Bifinex.

Dividends are paid on bitfunder ( 0.00000574 per share). I just received mine  

Are new blades shipping now or does this mean something else?

There has to be a way to arbitrage and take advantage of this $10 difference in price! Just sitting around and watching this opportunity is making me sick.

I did some simple math to figure out the Annual Return rate on dividends once we have 6TH/S up and running.

First of all, lets make two assumptions in this scenerio:
.005 share price
Avalon clones are up and running in September
Difficulty doubles in 1 month from now (~60,000,000)

Ken would mine 50 BTC/day over a 24 hour period
or 350 BTC/week

350 BTC / 10,000,000 shares = .000035BTC / share weekly dividend

.000035BTC x 52 weeks = .00182BTC/share annual dividend total


.00182BTC/share anually is 36.4%



Okay, now that we have established 36.4% Annual Return, I'm going to describe why I fucking love this number.
36.4% annual return in bitcoin land is what we would expect from a company based on what they currently have, in this case it will be the Avalon clones about a month from now. 

What I'm saying is that, even if this eASIC project were to be flushed down the shitter at this very moment, we could survive with a very healthy return on the Avalons alone!

This is why I view the eASIC deal as ICING ON THE CAKE.  We're not talking about your regular icing, though.  We're talking about 100 feet of thick creamy frosty icing with hundred dollar bills sticking out.   

This is one hell of a fucking cake, ladies and gentlemen. 

Because people are jumping on the Labcoin IPO hypetrain (selling existing assets to free up funds), hoping for a quick multiplication of the IPO price.
