ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

Holy shit. Are we just going to keep bitching about the same thing over and over? The issue here is cross-communication clutter. We have one space to talk about ASICMINER. Some want to be silly, some want to do some TA, and some want to lurk for announcements. This is why everyone hates this thread.

Have we asked Friedcat about a dedicated webspace for announcements, discussion and data tracking? If not can we get that question to him?

This question IS included in the voting, it did not make the cut last time. We will vote on it again shortly. (Probably within a week or so)

At the current rise in share price, it is very obvious that anybody who is bitching about communication/announcements were one of the panic sellers during the hashrate drop.  Suck it up, girls -- the boat took off without you because you couldn't take a bit of heat.    Nothing you can say or do will change the fact that you made the wrong choice.  You can still get back on the boat, but STFU this time.

I am selling my 25 direct ASICMINER shares. Pm me with an offer.

That's like telling me to listen to a baby cry and vomit in my ear.  No thanks..

Did he answer the last set of questions?

Yes. ThickAsThieves posted Friedcat's response here:

One of the downsides of the process we went through with the first shareholder poll, where TAT posted Friedcat's response to the forum rather than Friedcat posting it directly himself, is that it is now very easy for a shareholder or investor to miss that response if they attempt the (often recommended!) readthrough of just Friedcat's posts as a means of filtering through the incredible amount of clutter in this thread.

Having Friedcat directly post his response to future polls would be ideal.

There should be a specific, locked down thread used only for announcements. It's about the third time I suggest this, but nobody goes ahead with it.

Well, iirc somebody did sometime, but afterward he stopped.

Someone does do this, that Quarterly Report thread.

You could always subscribe to my posts too! I'm pretty entertaining at times

I still do it but seeing friedcat is busy and doesn't post often, I don't have much to go by. If you want Speculation, there's a thread for that too.

is it just me or is the 6h average showing 53.84 terahash,
http://www.asicminercharts.com/live/


edit: also can we get some walls please? lets make a 3.5 big wall 2000+ shares for sale,
dont want these shares to get out of hand too quick, lets rather go up slowly but surely

Yup we found 14 blocks in the last 6 hours ^^

But the 30+ TH/s from the last 1.5 day is a safer value to assume

I'll try to behave we have the speculation thread of course if people have the reply's of a user on ignore
There's no point in explaining these redirection locations until someone quotes your post
Although I sometimes mix those two up myself

I do think that the dedicated webspace request will make the cut eventually (Bunch of enraged posters should vote that one up next time)
Or vote up a better question instead and let it be for now until we exhaust our list

The resources are there if you update your list now and then I have a hotlink directory to the important ones

Back to attempting to be silent but I promise nothing

I haven't heard this company (BTC Garden) mentioned much when people are discussing potential future hashrate competitors:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=213172.0

Would anyone who has been following this care to share their opinions and/or calculations on this company's potential chance at success, delivery date, and hash rate?

The issue with future potential hashrate competitors is kind of a tough one.

ASICMINER has a huge head start, and (should have) a huge bank account.

It would take a competitor of massive proportions to have the same amount of stroke the AM currently has with vendors.

Future hashrate predictions/competitors don't always pan out into a real competitor. Those are the two things to consider for the pro-ASICMINER side of the argument.

As for the competition, they could be successful if they can manage to execute on what they offer in a timely manner. Current competitors do not seem to be doing this.

BTC garden is funded by the owner of largest Chinese bitcoin forum, BTCMAN.COM
They not going to sell there devices into market, instead they will offer cloud hash. the price is around 800-1200BTC per 1T/hash rate and then aimed to adding 100 T after august, but I do not believe they could generate such amount at that time, because their products are too expensive ,I do not think people will go 1TH for that BTC, 1 TH is the minimum order I seen so far.

I'm expecting a price-war to materialize in the course of the year. Even though that means that the current premium that AM is charging would disappear, AM is incredibly well-equipped for competing in that price-war: their war-chest is full (NRE costs recovered ages ago), their process is cheaper (130nm), and their reputation is outstanding compared to competitors.

Bring it on!

Edit: AM may be disadvantaged in the power-efficiency, but that is far away from being the deciding factor in the war - will only come into play when network hash rate reaches double-digit peta-hashes per second.
