I posted my reply to your first post before reading your second one. It's to maintain and see what an actual AM share value is (compared to PT shares). This was just an idea; if people don't like it, that's fine too. Are we prepared to have AM share threads spam the Auction sub forum?
I'm saying that AM trading activity on the forums seems to have dried up, as people are starting to trust the passthroughs. It's not like it was a month ago, where there were like twenty threads going.
I thought it was valuable until I realized that both passthroughs allow transfers in and out of actual ASICMINER shares, so one can just buy on exchange and transfer them to yourself if you want to own the "real shares".
I'm not going to stop you, and I might even use it just to have all my bases covered, but I don't really see the NEED anymore.
Its not that easy as you claim. You have to own at least 240? shares from deadterra to change them to real shares. I dont know if its possible with the other passthrough anyway. But i believe you can change your real shares in passthroughs with both issuers. So that doesnt look to me like this thread isnt needed anymore.
Well asiminer-pt on btct.co has a 50 share minimum for exchanging into real shares, which is the same as the thread minimum anyway. However, maintaining the thread is a lot of work, that does in my opinion bypass the benefit gained, when people are free to do separate threads if they are so inclined.
Do be aware that over 13% (and growing) of all outstanding ASICMINER shares HAVE been transferred to the PT exchanges.
I'd say this, if there is a profusion of folks doing willy nilly threads for asicminer shares than we should reconsider the orderbook, if not probably not worth the work. (In any case I won't be doing the work, so don't let me stand in anyone's way.)
