What???  I ain't bid .26 for no 696 shares!  More like 25 shares.

Guess being a high roller gives people the wrong idea, that I just throw BTC around like confetti.

This auction is going well, it has plenty of competing bids.

Maybe I should make a thread for competing offers?   

I hear DeadTerra has some ASICMINER he'd like to liquidate andale pronto...if not imma snipe this mofo.

This is 696/400 000 shares of ASICMINER or 0.174% (200 000 sold for funding, 200 000 kept by company)

Info about these shares:
- 10 to 12 TH total planned in early february to mine for shareholders
- 6x increase planned in a second batch
- Further expansion possible
- Share of profit from sale of units
- Ownership of an ASIC manufacter, long-term potential

...

I must have missed something here.  My analysis is:

The Avalon-2 is about (60 GH/s) / $1,500 --> 40 MH/s/$
This offer is (10TH/s) / (200,000 shareholder_shares) --> 50 MH/s/shareholder_share

On the basis of MH/s being equal, and neglecting things that make it not really so:
40 / $ = 50 / shareholder_share --> 50/40 $/shareholder_share

50/40 $/shareholder_share * 1 BTC / $20 --> 0.0625 BTC / shareholder_share

People are bidding 4.3 times this amount.  Why?

You fail to realize in your calculations that:
(0) This is equity, not a mining bond.  That means that our hashrate will perpetually be increasing and we even get income from sales.
(1) Having terahashes now counts.  You can't really buy an Avalon-2 shipping in February.  Even if you could, the market price would be higher than Avalon is charging.  This is just like last year where mining bonds spiked up in price to a reasonable P/E ratio, rather than sitting at their hardware's preorder-value.

Yes, this makes this 4.3 times that amount.  In fact, it makes it many more times that amount, as shown in the other NYAN auction where people paid 0.45 BTC per share.

Sorry icebreaker, I copied a line and forgot to change the amount to 25. But yeah, not being able to edit is a bit annoying. It's not in the current qualifying bids anyway.

[iCEBREAKER]

No worries.  Just having some fun, as usual.   

Sorry for the double post.  I don't even how that happened.

...

50/40 $/shareholder_share * 1 BTC / $20 --> 0.0625 BTC / shareholder_share

Be careful with normalizing against USD values. At the time both ventures started the ratio was more like 1BTC@10USD. Thus an Avalon unit had the equivalent cost of 150 BTC, or about 3000 USD now.

Thus: 50 / 400 BTC / share =  0.125 BTC / share

Also, the cost for the increase in mining operations by the proposed factor 6 is included in the share price. So you're looking at up to 300 MH/s / share, which bumps the equivalent price to about 0.5 - 0.8 BTC / share.

I'd say 0.2 BTC / share is a bargain. 0.3 BTC / share is a good price.

But please do your own price discovery

Be careful with normalizing against USD values. At the time both ventures started the ratio was more like 1BTC@10USD. Thus an Avalon unit had the equivalent cost of 130 BTC, or about 2600 USD now.

Thus: 50 / 460 BTC / share =  0.11 BTC / share

Also, the cost for the increase in mining operations by the proposed factor 6 is included in the share price. So you're looking at up to 300 MH/s / share, which bumps the equivalent price to about 0.5 - 0.8 BTC / share.

But please do your own price discovery

Interestingly, with the Avalon-2 unit priced at $1500 and the BTC price shooting up to $20, the Avalon-2 unit has an equivalent BTC price of 75 BTC. What we see here is deflation at its finest: When looking at it from the BTC perspective, prices for hashpower decreased significantly. This means an Avalon-1 unit has to "make up" for a 55 BTC LOSS against the Avalon-2 unit.

looks like editing is disabled.. ignore the draft version.

By the way, I also made "some" calculation. They started from estimation ASICMiner share income, and now are moving to fool compaction of BTC mining project where I can invest my money by the moment. Y may look and edit them here:

not sure that I can post links. Pleasure don't bun me for this - I'll delete it by the first request.

BTC/USD price there 20.

Conclusion: 0.26 price fore share is the border at which you must think about other alternatives...

Seeing as you will get close to 0.20 btc dividend in the 1st 2 months of mining I would say 0.30 btc is way too low a price.... (the first 0.10 btc dividend is calculated on 200.000 shares, after that dividends will be on 400.000 shares).....

Mining bonds have been trading around 6 months breakeven, mining equities are trading around 8 months break even....

Just my opinion....

[Vezunchik]

I've corrected this mistake two days ago, after your PM. Can you see
C17=C16/400000 + 0.05
?
6-8 munths - well, I really don't know what will happen when 1-2-3 K ASIC miners will be on-line (definitely part of miners in net power will decreasing, but what else) . So 6 months - enough  high risk for me.

Highest bid remains the same for the last 6 hours.

Please stay on topic, I think there's enough ASIC threads already for discussion.
