ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[VolanicEruptor]

Here comes a Bitcoin drop.. this always leads to a dip in share price and then a swift recovery

once = always ?  It happened because there was a lot of hype around AM and people invested more than they could afford and then paniced.

It has happened a few times, at least since I've been invested (got in at 2.10)

Yah but the first time was the biggest, went from 2.5 to 2.25

I'm not sure how much this will help (if at all considering I don't really post too much), but I've added  a link to the USB sales thread in my Signiture - If other share holders do the same then it might be better than Friedcat spending potential dividend funds on advertising...

I like the idea, but I think FC should also spend money on advertising.  Here and on reddit and google and facebook and anywhere else that it might be cost effective. 

Can we get an AM ad on the jumbotron in Times Square?

sell your shares and buy usb= x3 appears like a good move..thanks

Who needs paid advertisement on reddit when you make a new post every time the price moves?

Oh, no - I'd definitely suggest some advertising off-forum too, but instead of advertising on-forum (which he did not too long ago, right?) this would be a cheaper alternative with better reach if enough people opted in to doing it.

Did the hashrate drop to 10 TH?

[TECHICENINE]

this lack of productivity has caused:

http://www.asicminercharts.com/live/

to produce errors as well:

------------
Estimated hashrate distribution

Data column(s) for axis #0 cannot be of type string×

FYI that isn't ASICMINERS hashrate it's BitGuilds hashrate...ASICMINER dioes not mine there no more ..thanks

Did the hashrate drop to 10 TH?

The 24-hour hash rate estimate dropped to around 11.5 TH: http://runeks.dk/bitcoin/

But that's just an estimate, only ASICMiner knows the answer.

no i just confirmed thats not their hash rate it's Bitguild pools hashrate they no longer mine there..thanks

It comes from the same place everyone else uses.. Blockchain's JSON API.

Their API only gives 36 hours of data. I just poll it every minute and store the information so that you can go back for as long as you want (starting at about 11 days ago.)

Here's one for the past 11 days:

thats prolly info for BitGuild but who cares..
ok i see the hashrate is going down on the chart while it says blocks being found is decreasing?..thanks

how comes the hashrate is going down on the chart while it says blocks being found is increasing?..thanks

Hashrate is the product of blocks found, the timeframe in which they were found, and the current network difficulty.

For example, if I found 2 blocks in 1 hour, I'd be mining at an estimated ~45 th/s. If I found 2 blocks in 2 hours, I'd be mining at 22.5 th/s (half of the 1 hour rate.)

Hope this makes sense.. ASICMINER does not publish their hashrate, so we must infer the hashrate from the data we have available.

Not sure where you're looking, but the info is there. Check your PMs, I can give you links to answer your questions, as most of them have been asked here ad nauseum.

Can we get an AM ad on the jumbotron in Times Square?

This is just my opinion, but I don't think AM needs or wants widespread investor awareness. The general public isn't aware of BTC, much less a foreign company mining and selling BTC mining hardware. Presuming Joe investor gets over those concepts, they then get to learn that purchasing shares amounts to using an "entertainment website" with pass-through shares and that "real" shares are maintained by a guy in China with spreadsheet. I really think that this is too much to expect.

Don't get me wrong - I'm comfortable with the setup and I actually think of AM as a fairly transparent company considering that we can track blocks mined by the hour/day and dividends by the week. I just think that the average investor on this forum needs to be drastically different than someone with an E*TRADE account, still pissed about losing money on the FB IPO.

Things that I think would help:
- Investors should use pass-through shares whenever they think they might hold the shares for less than 90 days or for transactions fewer than 10-20 shares. There are over 100 owners with shares in the single digits and I imagine that this creates extra administrative overhead for AM.
- We should continue to push for and support distributors for AM hardware, worldwide. It would also be best if the distributors would handle first line support for any warranty or user help issues, since this reduces the administrative costs for AM. Also, AM hasn't had a problem moving their products, but sooner or later they will have competition from existing firms or new ones. As miners finally have real choices for where to obtain their hardware, $/GH will drop, minimum purchase quantities will drop and ease of purchase will need to increase. The more we can do to get AM hardware sold, the better off we'll all be.
