No. Then why posting this here? Avalon users thread? Possibly because emerging ASIC competition is very relevant to Avalon users in a number of ways you could have figured out, had you bothered to try. Any other dumb questions?

Avalon users thread?
Because the Avalon works best with BTCGuild? And its highly likely this is one user who just switched on their Avalon ASICS? Because this user is now up to 940 GH/s? Which is 14 avalon machines. The real question is why does it bother you so much?

Can't remember his name (Vladimir maybe?) but he had a lot of clout and resources. Announced quite a while ago that gpus were finished and he was going to develop a private ASIC. Perhaps he was successful.

The same reason GLBSE shut down in the first place after talking to a lawyer. ASICMINER never traded securities or contracts. They are not a trade platform. ASICMINER was crowdfunded to perform tasks specified in the contract. I am not claiming that legal ground is all clear, but your comment and comparison are completely wrong.

You realize the difference between a company selling shares of itself, and a company that is running a securities exchange? The former could be a medium size lawn care service or computer shop for example, and might hire a lawyer and an accountant for a few hours each year, while the latter would need to be run by lawyers and bankers.
Its actually issuing shares and selling them to the public which is most illegal. The mechanism is irrelevant. Exchanges are subject to regulation, but that's not really why GLBSE was shut down. Selling securities to just one person in the USA means you must register with the SEC.

I've bought plenty of non-US securities that are not registered with the SEC. I'd purchased these through a foreign brokerage account registered under a non-US address. Of course, I still have to report gains to the IRS, but that is a different issue altogether. The blanket statement above is not correct.

Selling securities to just one person in the USA means you must register with the SEC. I would say thats the typical US-Attitude of "We own the world." Nothing will happen when a US-Customer is buying shares in china. Or did you hear of plans for the next military intervention taking place in china? China has enough USD to make the US die, so no, nothing will happen here because of a bitcoin business. Most people doesnt even know what bitcoins are. Thats fetched way too far. Its true that a company that was at an american stock exchange cant go out of it when only one single us-citizen owns a share from them but how will you prevent that someone is buying a share in china? Maybe i sell a share to an us-citizen. Is bitfountain forced to register with the sec in the us then? Not really.

When i read the thread about finding Pirateat40, they know his name Trendon Shaver, the SEC is investigating and... nothing happens. Nothing. Even though he stole Bitcoins worth millions. And selling shares isnt even near that importance.

I suggest the ASICMINER threaf. This is the Avalon user(s) thread.

Your quote shows you actually didn't read the quoted text, can not comprehend or are a troll? Either way, post that in the legal section if you want to talk about another company and their possibility of looking like a security offering. Last, in the light of how it was brought up and the fact that they are online and I know you wouldn't be kicking up dirt if you were an actual INVESTOR. Sounds like someone is a little jealous from drinking the proverbial " HATERADE".

The point is that I ignored ASICMINER because investing in their option is not possible for me, as a US Citizen. If I did buy ASICMINER I would probably cause them a lot of legal problems as their offering surely needs to be registered with the SEC. So, I didn't ever bother to check into friedcat and others involved in this project because it is a waste of time for US Citizens.

I believe the major legal implication was in "them" selling you a security, not "you" purchasing them.
