ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[hdbuck]

Oh well I still believe dibs will resume because Friedcat said so but it would be nice for a god damn update so I wasn't basing my belief off of a statement he made months ago.

Yeah, unlike a lot of these people I don't believe Friedcat "owes" us information.  His only responsibility to us is to not steal from the company.  But It sure would be great If we could get at least a heartbeat message. 

"Not enough reserves for dividends, Gen 4 on schedule"   style messages once a month would be plenty for me.

I disagree. He does owe the investors information about the status of the company since we own the company. It's just that he decides how long he waits before telling us what's going on with AM. If he set a schedule of updating shareholders every quarter on a specific date then I think that would ease a lot of people's concerns. He used to be on the forums weekly. Now we don't know if we will hear from him tomorrow or in 6 months from now.
He is actually ignoring shareholders of the company and the board members haven't been much better which makes me think there is a lack of communication between Friedcat and the board.  There needs to be a regularly scheduled update from Friedcat with financials.  He can reveal as little as he wants I guess but knowing he is alive and hasn't disappeared with our money would be comforting.

I get that this is a bitcoin company but there is a reason why reports are required by the SEC. Friedcat has always seemed like a trustworthy and honorable person. I expect him to treat his shareholders fairly. Please improve relations.

Dear Friedcat,

I urge you to consider the precedence you do set for the bitcoin world.
Only the highest business ethic and proper shareholder relations will
be good enough to further the image of bitcoin!

Sincerely

Someone who made the IPO possible.

maybe he can't access the forum

no, how does he post in prisma threads then?

So yes Friedcat, plz say something. anything.

With respect, but, could you guys please give it a rest?  Let the man do his job.  If the Exa-hash conference wasn't interesting enough for you to hold, then sell...

The man is in the middle of a new product launch/shipping/support, potential large scale deployment of mining gear for own operations and probably new chip design/tapeout. Pretty sure attending to the relentless whining and nagging from this thread is quite low on his list of priorities right now.

Smh at the "Dear Friedcat" posts. I sincerely doubt he keeps up with this thread; those wanting to contact him should probably send PMs (although feel free to paste the correspondence here!).

The whining and nagging is completely justified. AM hasn't paid a dividend in 6 months. AM is in the mining sector, and there is only more competition, and a lower BTC value than what was going on 6 months ago. AM is now trading below IPO (given, the USD value is still much better).

I would have to agree...no person on planet earth is so busy that they can not make a 5 word post on bitcointalk.

Good to hear / read this information again.  It is clear the FC and AM have a plan in action and this may be missed with the current talk on the thread.

[kingcrimson]

it looks like we are on the verge of another bitcoin bubble, I hope that AM doesn't leave us all behind on some of the good fortune.

Might be the worst prediction I have ever seen

You must have missed that PayPal is now accepting bitcoin, and we are on the verge of the fall mania that saw the bubble last year, so history could easily repeat.

The PayPal news bumped us to $450 for a few hours...then back down we went.  I love Bitcoin, but I do not see anything currently that will make us go back towards the moon...for now. I hate to be bearish too

This is the lamest excuse fanboys keep posting over and over. It doesn't take more than a few minutes to make a post.

Basic maths:

Divs = no communication
No divs = communication

I think there is a FB or twitter account that's parsing out relevant AM communications. (puke)
Maybe someone can share the account - I watched it for awhile, but died of boredom.

this is also somewhat life affirming reassuring for shareholders, with another post from Jutarul just below...:

Yes, the thread is huge, but its structure is simple and unchanging. It goes like this:

• Start: Friedcat or a board member posts something.
• Relevant comments and questions appear.
• Optionally, some answers appear.
• A couple more relevant comments appear, FUD & speculations starts.
• FUD & speculations overtake the discussion. Off topic, stupid and funny comments (just like this one), haters' comments appear.
• No further information from Friedcat or board member produces extra more of these for very long time.
• Here and there a serious, sophisticated post appears, but is immediately killed with FUD & others.
• Then suddenly, after weeks/months, go to Start.

Yes... clearly anyone who exhibits any concerns or doubts in the months during which there is no new information is "spreading FUD" or a "hater". Couldn't possibly be that such comments are perfectly legitimate in the face of a lack of information, lack of dividends, and a repeated failure to live up to promises/expectations.

Are you gonna deny that every doubter here goes through this predictable cycle of hope and despair?
People who can't control their emotions shouldn't be  participating in ultra risky investments, especially in exotic and illiquid ones as this.

But there are people who have a problem with AM for whatever reason - and pounce with poison at any given opportunity.

I think some of them have competing interests in the space.
Or, some might have something personal or hurt feelings.

But, they really do try to make shit worse.
