ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[matt_boyd]

Any speculations as to what the price will be of the dividends?

currently the ASICMiner mining address has 6300+ BTC in it, which translates to almost 0.016/share - http://blockchain.info/address/1HtUGfbDcMzTeHWx2Dbgnhc6kYnj1Hp24i

Not the worst, I can't wait for the new products to come out, that will be exciting time, by the way TAT, liking the sarcasm, it give me a chuckle.

3.4 wall is good, actually even good if a dropped cheaper, means we can reinvest dividends to buy more shares for cheaper,
i know everyone wants price of shares to rise,
but look on the bright side, we have a benefit of it staying or even getting lower

Expecting share price drops again after dividends announcement..

what wall are you talking about?  I don't see one, only significant sell orders at 3.5

I kinda doubt this will happen again this week.  it may drop slightly, but don't expect 15% like last week.

If we have a balanced market it should drop the same percentage that the dividend is of the share price. If it drops more, it means there is a profit in selling your shares before dividend payments, and buying it back afterwards. And if it drops less, it means there is a profit to be made in buying shares before a dividend payment and selling it afterwards.

I'm thinking only 5-10% is possible.

So in a balanced market the price will drop each week by the dividends until it hits zero?

No. The price will then subsequently rise by the expected amount of the next dividend over the course of the week (at a pace that reaches equilibrium with the markets discount rate for the security).

Anything is possible, including breaking 3btc.

With a 0.017 per share dividend, we're talking about a drop from, say, BTC3.417 to BTC3.400. That's a pretty small drop to try measuring.

friedcat (& co) of course

I expect it to go to ~400 or ~800 in a few hours.

Then you'll get about 0.015/share w/o hardware sales 

[TECHICENINE]

About 3.4ish currently.

Don't think friedcat has 1.34M bitcoins laying around

My guess is around ~0.015 without HW sales.
Not record-breaking, but knowing what to come (announcement new Blades, new USB sticks, almost 200TH/s ready from fab I really don't care a lot )

Looking forward to the next weeks!

is this friedcats' account do you know why 6,332+ BTC just sitting here not being reinvested..thanks

Sure, but dividend value could drive changes in growth expectations... I mean, an un-informed investor just see a drop in dividends during last weeks. Informations regarding hardware sells are spread and dispersed around the forum..

When the price hit 2.5 it brought out a fair amount of sellers. This hasn't happened since.

This is either because they are waiting  a little longer to see where it lands, or they know something we don't, or they don't wanna lose their board seat, or there aren't many heavy holders left because they sold too early.

That's what is being mined by the ASIC miners, then we get a share of that any time soon!

[101111]

10) Besides mining, hardware sales, and fees, are there any other potential sources of revenue? - 3.9

@TAT (or one of the other guys taking care of the questions):

What do you mean by "fees" in the last question? If it's transactions fees it is part of mining, are you then speaking about something else?

That was my question. You are correct that mining includes fees, thanks for pointing that out. I really just wanted to tease out block reward and transaction fees as separate items.

[velacreations]

in all possibility, the share price may INCREASE today.  There seems to be significant demand and positive news this week.

[Nullrisk]

Hey,
No news of dividends yet, anyone?
(my shares are humble PTs, I wouldn't know, yet!)
