Would it be possible for ASICMINER to issue a stock dividend instead of weekly BTC payments?
At this time, I do not see that being a possibility. They would need an official exchange for that to occur and there is the issue of share dillution/distribution of the BitFountain portion. From what I've heard, there may be future share sales from AM in cases of quick funds for R&D or expansion. Don't expect it anytime soon. Check the auction subforum or passthroughs to acquire more.

Yes Franktank, except that the start was promised to be 12 TH, but only half is mining (publicly?) for months now.
True but friedcat did mention the "vacuum of deployment" and things were in process for the data center. I was just calculating the numbers mentioned. Note that this is only gross income from mining; it doesn't not account for hardware sales, electricity cost, potential downtime, wiring issues, etc. Giving everyone an idea of potential share value and how it may compare with the rest of the incoming mining landscape

I just thought I would do some speculative math for what's been announced. Now, friedcat has announced some numbers of the incoming hashing power for the next few months. To determine the hash rate per share, I've enclosed the following table:
Note: Used 100 shares for easier math; Mh/s is [total hash rate/400k shares]
AM Hashing (Mh/s) Mh/s Per Share Total Mh/s 6,000,000 15 1,500 12,000,000 30 3,000 50,000,000 125 12,500 62,000,000 155 15,500 200,000,000 500 50,000 262,000,000 655 65,500
The last row is the row I would like to bring attention to. friedcat has mentioned the last 200 Th/s would take 2-3 months to deploy, putting that in the same range of early-mid BFL range and Avalon batch 3. Owning 100 shares will be the equivalent of Avalon Batch 3 or a BFL Single SC at full deployment. Even at a difficulty of 100 million, that will still equate to ~2.5 BTC/wk (for 100 shares). There are plenty of things that have not been accounted for, but the question is: Which of the three will get their product out of the door first? ASICMiner, Avalon, or BFL?
Feel free to correct my numbers if you think I'm incorrect about my calculations.

The market is currently moving in my preferred direction. Things are going as planned.
Well....you were insane, but somehow more right then me. Nah, this is just what is to be expected. As the market price goes up more people want to hop on the train. Compared to all the fiat there is in the world Bitcoin is still very small, so even a few billion dollars can produce big swings. I would be surprised if we didn't reach 10,000 dollars per bitcoin before the end of the year. 10k by end of 2013....? Dear Lord...

Tech savvy people start a mining rig to profit It's the non tech savvy people that inflow the USD Shhhh! Don't spoil the secret!! COME ON!!!

Economy / Speculation / $200/BTC by May 1?

With the current rate, this isn't considered too crazy. Obviously the price will correct itself but thoughts?
Edit: Changed from June 1 to May 1, was too conservative in estimate.
