Do you think that chips are growing on trees? No expenses for creating them? Its about margin now.

Rockminer doesn't own shares, only Rockxie is sitting on 2 chairs and as boardmember and personal friend with our CEO he can negotiate great discounts for chips from AM, also rights for 1st batches and fuck over all ASICminer shareholders.

When I was investing into this company ~ 1 year ago, it was publicly known that ASICminer's goal is to maintain at least 10% of global hashrate, so i did some calculations and bought shares. I was investing into mining company which goal was to mine bitcoins. I was not investing into chip manufacture which will be selling chips for fiat after one year. But yeah ... I am now in huge 75% loss, no point of selling now. I feel quite fucked by ASICminer.

One friend of mine has interesting point of view on this. I questioned : How is possible to spend so many millions in one month without any result?

he answered : You know, it doesn't need to be actually spend, it could be effectively laundered away. Easy with Bitcoin.

Wow TradeFortress here? I was thinking that you are in jail ...

I read every single post in NEOBEE thread from the start of this fiasco and I never saw any "threat to his family", sounds bullshit to me, can anyone quote that "threat" please ? btw gross irresponsible incompetence here, another Karpeles  he's running away with your money and covering with bullshit excuses ... I am very very curious if somebody will be able to raise any capital via IPO offering in "bitcoin securities market" after this.

yeah, try to explain to some average Joe from craigslist what is escrow and bitcoin

I know. again :
http://bitmine.ch/?product=coincraft-ai-asic
price for chips 2.8$ - 3.5$Gh  ... AM 0.49$ - 0.99$

nope. competition is selling ~$3/Gh disconnected from the exchange rate, could be 1000 or 500, doesn't matter for chip sellers(it seems like doesn't matter, risk is always on miner side, they are betting for higher exchange rate in future)

... ASICminer is selling for $1/Gh, i don't know why so horrible cheap, but i am not a boss and all I can do as a shareholder is to write my opinion here and hope that somebody from competent people will be at least thinking about it ...

With 479 BTC/USD exchange rate we're looking at 0.01 - 0.1 dividend per share only from batch 1 (if everything is sold for 0.99$/Gh)

so if you don't need or plan convert dividends to fiat, but you want to HODL, or reinvest, its good.

So if I understand current situation, and where we are in the cycle, sample chips were shipped to the many clients/manufacturers last week or yesterday. And also ASICminer is testing them. Questions are : Were the sample chips sent out for free?(Wasp, did you pay anything for samples? If yes, what was the price per Gh?). And meanwhile if AM is testing/hashing with them, where are they mining?

Hello,

I am looking for someone from Secaucus, NJ, maybe for long term cooperation. If you are from Secaucus and want to make some side BTC let me know.

Thanks

Little speculation here  

Is Chinese mining mafia pushing the price of Bitcoin down via fake trades(+fake volume) on their exchanges? Possible reason : upcoming payments for chips? If the exchange rate is low, they'll get more BTC And if they don't plan to convert them asap, its win situation(maybe).

On a more serious note :
What is the size of 1st batch of gen3 ? In December Friedcat mentioned 2-20P possible for first batch. Curious about an actual number, its big difference to get 2M$ or 20M$ for this batch. Also I am interested what will be the time period between batches. And if the order size of next batches will be released for shareholders up-front, or we'll only see the movements in AM address and we can guess how many P were sold and for what price? If they plan to sell them for fiat, how can we audit them if they're including every sell? its about a trust? Jutarul mentioned some audit in past, maybe for better transparency after failed gen2, I wonder where we're on that front.

I have that feeling that this new guy here smilence actually knows what he's talking about    better than us ...

Because of that attention are you deleting your posts?   

thanks, after 1st batch 

$2.8 USD/GH vs $0.49 USD/GH is discount more than 500% ... unacceptable for ready-to-ship product

EDIT : yes I know, that max discount could be 100%, but I don't know how to say it in english that price is five-fold lower, but you get it

Bonam, I know, I was talking about chips

like Coincraft A1
http://bitmine.ch/?product=coincraft-ai-asic

yes, I suggest new round of shareholders questions for Friedcat 1-2 weeks after the 1st batch madness (what do you think friendly pumpkin? are you going to take initiative? )

and about that 0.49$-0.99$/Ghs pricing strategy ... ASICminer should really re-evaluate this after testing gen3. The selling price should be 10-20% under the competition, but not 500% ! Also we'll have product in hand, no pre-orders BS. Its insane pricing, its like tunneling a company in prime time LIVE. Shareholders are watching. I don't want to see, that ASICminer is selling chips 500% under current market price to Chinese mining mafia friends  

I am following this thread only for entertainment purposes now and with peace in mind looking at my BTCs in cold storage, but if this runaway accusation is not true, you know that you're a dick But thanks for entertainment, *eating popcorn*

You know, there must be expenses for the next batch. Which will be massive. I hope and believe™
