I was an ActM shareholder, but then I cashed out and bought Labcoin instead (don't kill me because of that). I still follow the thread, and I have only one question: 150 satoshis/share div? Isn't this a little bit overvalued?

ActM isn't just a mining security...

Perhaps do a little research looking at the potential of the company before deciding if it's for you. Do you want a short term return or are you happy to wait a couple of months before seeing a larger return?

How low can ActM go? Do you think it is just going to continue to sink until November?

the current share price is not important unless you are thinking about cashing out or buying more. in other words, the share price will not affect the current status of the eASIC contract and manufacturing of mining equipment because everything has already paid for. but what short term speculators does with their shares is anyone's guess.

Did you guys know about these guys yet? It looks like you have another 28nm competitor. Their chips are around the same speed as ActM (rather then being giant 400-500Gh/s monsters like hashfast/cointerra) From what I can tell, 24.756Th/s worth of vmc Fast-Hash-ONE chips costs $120,000 or $5/gh/s. For $147,000 you get 1500 of these chips, which comes out to $4.9/Gh/s. However, the chips are supposed to have a less energy efficient "turbo mode" that will actually double the hashrate and quadruple the chip's power draw. So, if you were to run the chips in "Turbo mode" (which I'm sure everyone will until the difficulty goes insane) then the cost for raw chips is just is just $2.45/Gh/s. Less then half the cost of VMC's chips.

Hmmm....someone seems to be mining at bitminter under the name "fast hash" 1.128 TH could this be test chips or is this just wishful thinking?? https://bitminter.com/livestats/big

+1 This is the most likely case. We are in such a hole here now people are trolling us on the mining pools. (Well most of you are sitting pretty with cheap shares, I invested quite high and will probably never make it back)

Just a friendly reminder that your brethren, the Labcoiners, are behind again! You're winning the race to the bottom -- their virtual doohickies are trading for way more than yours on burnside's game server. Labcoin. Really. Oh well, you're in it for the long haul

(Hopefully it won't be too late to the game) Selling 28nm chips onto the market and mining with them will be profitable for many months to come, even when the network hash rate is 10PH/S. At this share price, we only need to hold 1% of the network to have 100% annual return from mining alone. Obviously there won't actually be 100% annual return because of rising difficulty, but we can use these "annual return snapshots" for share price valuation. For example, asicminer seems to fluctuate between 20%-50% ("annual snapshot").. if it goes higher than that then investors buy up more shares. I can share my excel spreadsheet calculations if you wish. Remember, difficulty setting does not "know" who our competitors are and is not biased towards anyone. It's a simple number, and our chips will still be profitable under those conitions.

Less then half the cost of VMC's chips. No shipping date that I can see. Looks like mass production starts last week of November. Depending on how long that takes these could easily be hitting market late December early January. Interesting idea, though, having a turbo mode. Ill be interested to see the hard specs on these.

VMC's chips should be overclockable too (as are just about any ASICs as far as I know). Calling it "turbo mode" is just better marketing.
