I don't know if this has been said already, but my suspicion is that friedcat is cutting back on the TH in anticipation of the upcoming difficulty increase. Throttling back now for 24 hours could help increase profits over the next difficulty period if difficulty is kept at reasonable levels.

Make sure you back up your wallet regularly! Unlike a bank account, nobody can help you if you lose access to your BTC.

No because if network TH suddenly rises then the adjustment of difficulty (that looks at last 2015 blocks blocks generated) will just compensate, it does not look at the last 2 weeks, it looks at the last 2015 blocks generated

So why dont you sell some shares now and buy at 2.3 if you believe it's going to fall?
I don't know about him, but I don't do that because I'm not sure it will fall: I can afford to buy some shares at lower rates, but not at the risk of not being able to buy them in case the rate didn't actually drop. Hence I'll invest spare money into that, but I won't risk selling my current shares.

Stop trolling here and polluting this thread, go away. Mausini is actually right. This thread has derailed to btc-e trollbox where everyone keeps on speculating about 0.0001 changes in asicminer passthrough prices. If people want to fill up 3 pages with mindless chatter about this then they should start a thread about this. It makes sense to discuss the share price and some of the posts which actually calculate why should a share be worth something make sense. It also makes sense to discuss things about asicminer. What doesn't make sense is to keep on babbling about slightest changes in the share price and saying "oh I should have bought more" or "It's awesome I bought more" or "I sold shares that's great". No one cares about this crap.

This is a 386 pages thread, which makes no sense at all. It should have been closed and opened as a full subforum long ago.

Just posting another reminder for those that have questions for friedcat. A few of us have started to compile questions for submission. Please keep in mind that it is very possible he may not answer some/any questions but would still like to submit them, on behalf of the "minority shareholders."
The plan is to submit these questions on a monthly basis.
Use "Q/A for ASICMiner" for the subject line.
Needs a redirection On the Point of a Sub-forum it is a lot of pages Not sure if one security merits it though but could be handy for a bitcointalk area Unless you meant an official website and/or blog outside of the bitcointalk forums

THIS.Longest thread I ever COMPLETELY read was 96 pages, and it wasn't on this forum. People are at each other's throats here, any thread longer than 5 posts is guaranteed to have at least a few insults or an argument tossed around. Almost every single subforum here has threads that are too long to manage. Nobody has the time to sift through 400 pages of posts on every topic they're curious about.

It does, for the simple reason that people are posting here in this thread, instead.

To initiate a transfer, do I just PM friedcat with prof of key ownership? The reason I ask is because the shares were bought privately through a irl friend so I did nothing other than providing a key for dividends. Thank you
Hmmm... This sounds like a peculiar way to buy shares. Did you buy these shares before you even had an account at bitcointalk.org? I was under the impression that friedcat maintained a shareholder database that included the bitcointalk.org usernames for all of the directly owned shares as well as their e-mail address.

I think that your impression is wrong, the only thing that's in the database afaik: - e-mail - bitcoin address - amount of shares

What's the purpose of collecting e-mail addresses of the new owner if shares can be transferred with a PM? Seems to me that friedcat is willing to accept a PM or an e-mail from a shareholder in order to complete a transfer. Also, how does friedcat validate that someone owns shares when they hold an auction here on the forum if he doesn't track usernames of shareholders?

By signing a message from the address in the database.

By signing a message from the address in the database. Sure, that's how it could (and maybe should) be done, but according to TAT's escrow agreement from my last share purchase: "Friedcat does not normally require signing a message from the Seller's shareholding wallet, but you are welcome to do so when requesting the transfer." This seems to indicate that he is tracking the usernames of current shareholders and if he receives a PM from that username requesting that a number of shares be transferred to a different bitcoin address, then he complies.

Since people have a problem with us talking about the share price of a security in the security thread, I've started an AM speculation thread over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235763Be kind, it's just opinions and speculation and my life savings...
