So you want others to fund your overpriced hardware purchase ?

[SilentSonicBoom]

No. It is an opportunity for those that can't afford over 2 Bitcoin. I just increased my order from 1 USB miner to 2 USB miners. I agree they are not priced very attractively. Thanks for the comment.

Then make it clear in your IPO statement that this is a losing investment, geared towards community service of spreading the love for bitcoin. Someone who cannot afford to spend 2 btc, should not touch this with 100 foot pole, as this will make him/her poorer.

In fact, they should just buy ASICMINER share, and that would be a 10X better investment.

[SilentSonicBoom]

I tend to disagree. Some dividends will be reinvested to increase the hashrate. Not everyone in the forums has the time, know how, etc. to run a mining rig. I thought I would throw this out there. People can decide what they want to do with their Bitcoin. Not everyone can afford Avalons or wait for BFL to deliver. Those mining with GPU's still, need 100's to 1,000's of dollars to get a rig running. This is set up so a minimal investment may see gains in the future.

[SilentSonicBoom]

Also, I own a small amount of ASICMINER shares as well as a few select other shares in the Bitcoin realm.

The USBs are not worth it, seriously. They're just a novelty.

And? That matters because?

[SilentSonicBoom]

I believe in diversification. What happens to all your Bitcoin investment in ASICMINER shares if someone burns down their datacenter or datacenters? I have read the reasons not to buy the USB miners just as many said don't keep buying GPU's in the past(and they kept making a profit).

[shibaji]

Do whatever you do. I guarantee you that the hardware coming out of ASICMINER are overpriced and is a losing investment - since you are offering an IPO, just make that clear. It is up to you whether you choose to throw some of your investment into garbage can, but do not mislead others.

It does not matter. I believe ASICMINER is a great investment and was letting shibaji know I own some shares. If you don't like the IPO offer, take your Bitcoin somewhere you prefer to use it. I believe ASICMINER should have a great report coming up and hopefully the dividend will be hiked or else reinvested.

Are you bipolar ? We all agree that ASICMINER shares are good investment at this point - that is not the point, but that does not mean ASICMINER hardware for sale is ! They are absolutely non investment grade stuff. Got it ?

Anyways, nuff said - despite these warnings if anyone wants to throw money into your pit, let that be.

I am not trying to mislead anyone. There is no guarantee of anything. ASICMINER's recent blade auction seems overpriced as well. But has BFL delivered much yet? How come the delay in Avalon 2nd and 3rd batch? At least ASICMINER delivers mining hardware. Any hardware purchase can become a losing investment. I have preorders for BFL that are losing the value of time day by day. My GPU's mining have paid for themselves and then some. Life is a risk. Thanks for the comments anyways.

Bipolar. Take a chill pill or some lithium. Seriously, I respect your views and at the same time am entitled to mine. If no one wishes to purchase shares, so be it. People should do their own due diligence before any type of investment.

I was not. He asked me if I was bipolar. Really?! I have seen both of you being active in the forums and respect your thoughts. I didn't tell anyone to piss off. Thanks for the input.

Sorry, I didn't read him calling you bipolar, I thought you were calling him bipolar. I redact my previous post.
