ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[MrMochi]

Hey, is 1000 more than 400?

Haha even though my blood is in the streets that comment had me laughing.
Well played on all fronts.

I have tears in my eyes because I don't have coins to buy those shares....... Lets just see the divs and update and then the flood will come....

There is an fixed price auction @2.9 with over 1000 shares:

Worse, he just dropped the price to 2.7 BTC. I admit - I'm surprised it's that low and I predict that they get snapped up in < 24 hours. It feels like a forced sell due to needing funds in a short period of time.

He downed the price to 2.7

You'd better start assimilating new information before it's too late. There is a reason somebody would dump millions USD at 'below market'- he knows it won't sell at current prices. The whales don't believe in AM anymore and there was never 160M of value here.

If he was an early buyer, that's not that bad of a move, I think. He probably reached ROI from dividends and is just cashing in some huge benefits now.
Which makes me sad with my 2 shares bought for 4.7 each.
I don't care, I was willing to be part of the mining effort, without the hassle.
And while FC manages to keep a decent part of the global mining rate, I'm staying.
Not to get rich. Just to add my puny power, to help bitcoin blowing banks away.

Correction: one whale doesn't believe in it anymore or he needs funds desperately for some reason. Don't see any other mass dumping on the Auctions board.

Well, in this one transaction we're talking about 1000 * 2.7BTC or ~ $297,000 at today's prices. I'd say he's giving up about $100K by not waiting until the price bounces back, but time will tell if the millions get dumped, as you suggest they will.

I bought the majority of shares between 1.5 and 2.5 and dumped 50% when it reached the high 4s - I've made enough profit that about the worst I can do is break even if AM plunges to near zero. I agree, there are definitely all kinds of reasons for entry and exit points into the market.

Bought at resp. 2.52 and 3.70. But would love to be able to buy one of those shares at 2.7 if I had the BTC.

As the Stones sung: You can't always get what you want.

The 1000+ shares for 2.7 BTC guy locked the thread. That makes the whole situation seem very bearish since he is offering a great deal and no one "appears" to want the shares!

Clever scare tactic?

You are absolutely correct, that was an embarrassing order-of-magnitude error on my part.

Still, someone has been filling all the buy orders every night. Big players want their profits. I will be entirely unsurprised if we see 5000+ shares for sale shortly.

Just taking PM offers... but that is definitely scaring folks like us who want to eat popcorn and enjoy the show (oh and cry a little with all those shares that I brought a little while ago)

Yeah, maybe.

Is there any way to find out if that guy actually owns direct shares?

He signed a message from the address that was sent dividends.

His message verifies against signature&address.
Also dividend received with this address is exactly for 3559 shares.

Sure that parts easy enough although the data hasn't been updated recently I believe its only this one that's selling someone will need to check each account then divide it by dividends to confirm this statement

For the record NO SHARES HAVE BEEN SOLD AT THIS TIME by eb (forgot to add a clarification)

[hammurabi]

Absolutely fantastic dividend!  

..and now I can feel what he meant that day.


Edit:
Looks like he was a board member up to 2013-03-24 and sold 1000pcs at ~0.8 per share.
