ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

Still haven't received a dividend on my direct share. Spooky... 

Might need to wait a while, I think friedcat sends them out in batches. He used to use a script to send everything at once last time though.

For sure, I'll keep waiting. It's not like I was planning on spending that div anyways. 
I'll keep you guys posted when I receive mine, and the address I got it from.

[Franktank]

This is reassuring news to me. Especially that Rockxie and Jutarul both increased holdings and the board is still solid.
This year has been hard for me, I need something to hold onto for reassurance. *sigh*

Thanks @dhenson

This exactly. Many who still remain (directly or indirectly) are tied to the end, for better or worse.

[Rival]

My directs showed up just fine.

[dhenson]

Received my divs on my direct shares as well as on havelock.

Can you forward me the 'sending' address so that I might add them to the spreadsheet?  We are still missing proof of **edit** 178 shares.

btw. I've updated the spreadsheet with payments from a third address.

so how high should it go this time? Any guess?

Well, we're not on our way up, yet. This dividend has effectively just been a payment to prove how many shares every address holds. And maybe to put back some trust into AM. We'll have to wait for gen4 to see how much moon there's going to be for us this time!

Here is my experience with the prisma.  My post from the dedicated thread:

The prisma has been terrible.

Here is my experience:

 I ordered via Canary based on 'in stock' shipping.  My prisma was 2 weeks late shipping.  Once the prisma arrived, I've tried for almost 1 week to get this thing to hash.  I've had 0 luck.  I've tried different builds of cgminer, minera, BE conroller, BE controllr with proxy, windows, linux, single boards.  After many emails, PM, QQ messages, I finally was able to contact AM after a frustrating week and a half.  Apparently I have 1 or 2 bad boards, even though the asic chips show all 0000 on BE screen.  AM response was to ship the boards back to Hong Kong.  No word on how long it will take, or what will happen when the boards arrive.  I'm tried of spending additional money on this thing.   


I purchased the Prisma because it was the best deal on the market at the time and had a good chance a ROI.  Now I have 0 chance of ROI and probably lost all ~1.6 BTC I've spent on this crap.  Live and learn I suppose.


ASICMiner failed horribly with these.  Their customer support is terrible.  Their product is terrible.


ASICMiner / Friedcat, Phasebird: how about decent product and decent customer service??



Special thanks to Blazedout419, CanaryInTheMine, CrazyGuy, philipma1957 for their help.




This thing is for sale if anyone wants to experiment with it.  Sold as is.  All offers considered.

[Mabsark]

You're absolutely right about the support being dreadful and that's the reason why I stopped advertising Prismas and starting advertising AMHash. Unfortunately though, the sales team for AMHash are every bit as incompetent as AM's support team. There are still no AMHash shares available for sale on Havelock and there haven't been for the past week so it's impossible for people to purchase hashing power from AM.

I've been promoting AMHash for the past few weeks and Rockminer have pretty much ensured that Havelock and Rockminer are the only companies that profit from it.

If this is pissing you guys off as much as it is me, I suggest you let FC and AMHash or Rockxie know about it. Maybe the known board members too.

Still nothing. You could probably work out my shareholding address now if I tell you that my holdings account for the majority of those missing shares. I've emailed friedcat, with just about no hope of an answer.

I just loaded up Bitcoin Qt for the first time in weeks to see if I got a dividend and it is killing my macbook. I have some direct shares, any way for me to verify those without having to download the whole blockchain?
I had problems with Bitcoin Qt before but now it's even worse. Everything else on my computer works fine but when I use Bitcoin Qt my macbook gets way too hot (much hotter than when I do anything else) and doing anything is obnoxiously slow.

Use a lightweight client like electrum so you don't need to download the blockchain. Or just check one of the online blockchain browsers like blockchain.info

Yes, you can copy the public address that the divs are registered to in bitcoin-qt, and paste it into the blockchain.info search bar. It should give you the current balance and all transactions of that address, including your div payouts.


Unrelated note: I still haven't received any divs on my single share. I'm 100% sure I'm checking the right address--I cross referenced it to the verification I received from friedcat when I exported from havelock.

PS: Here's another new address - 1D3kmPrQo9H2dJRNB94yiMfVBSHErRiwmB .
It's the address that sent my divs.

Someone did mention over the last few pages that anyone with one share would probably not receive a div , as the payment was too small, something to do with the tx fee I believe, but I only skim read it as it was not relevant to me, but maybe that is why.

I've been promoting AMHash for the past few weeks and Rockminer have pretty much ensured that Havelock and Rockminer are the only companies that profit from it.

Well, Havelock profits from all activity on their platform, of course. But, without knowing details of how AMHash is structured, how do you know who profits from it? E.g., maybe RM had underwritten the 5PH and it's not our business whether they want to continue selling fresh shares.

[Nancarrow]

I'm glad to see FC hasn't completely forgotten about shareholders. Does anyone know if he still reads/accepts PM requests here to change dividend payment addresses? I have two addresses I'd like to consolidate into one.

[fhh]

actually hashie also profits...

We have details of how AMHash is structured:

In this contract, the hashrate is provided by ASICMiner, the management is provided by
RockMiner, and the platform is provided by HavelockInvestments.
...
Risk control
1. Before IPO closes, ASICMiner has the right to buy back at the price of IPO price * 100.5%.

Now, given that the Prisma brand is completely toxic due to the total lack of support and the number of complaints about units busting into flames, you'd have to pretty mad to purchase a Prisma. That leaves AMHash as the most realistic option to make a profit but it's deliberately not being sold at the moment.

It is being sold on hashie. There's just very little (none?) advertisement about it.
