ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[ThickAsThieves]

That leaves one question regarding the Board Seat now I want answered sometime not today though but when you have more info  

You forgot to ask a question

Also, I should clarify that TAT.AM / ASICM have not achieved a full board seat yet (they are at about 70% currently). This is not really relevant at the moment, since no tangible board member benefits actually exist yet.

That said, if such tangible benefits do come about before TAT.AM / ASICM reach a full board seat, it is extremely likely that I will share them as best I can anyway

I left the proposition of a question without asking a question  
But thanks for the answer  
And Congrats again

[carnitastaco]

congrats TAT!

[stripykitteh]

Thank you for providing the feedback, TAT, it is most welcome. And well done on the board seat.

[keeron]

Congratulations TAT!

Can't wait for d-day (and new blades announcement/price day)

Thanks for your information,guys. Friedcat wouldn't let us down。

Thanks for your information,guys. Friedcat wouldn't let us down。

What sort of character is that final full stop, the full stop with the hole in the middle?

OFFICIAL UPDATE

I have some news for everyone after a brief e-mail exchange with Friedcat. He has answered the 3 questions I submitted from our recent poll below:

-- There was news about a presentation by Rockxie about ASICMINER. Can you confirm this was an official presentation and summarize the news that was shared about upcoming plans for the mining farm and the Mini Blade?
Friedcat: They are true, though some projected dates from our side were more-or-less overly determined in his presentation.

-- When can we expect the first financial report?
Friedcat: We are asking board members if July 23 is acceptable.

-- Could Bitfountain provide an official live hashrate meter from ASICMINER for your mining farm, or could you periodically confirm the current hashrate?
Friedcat: Yes. Our internal management system is towards its completing. Directing the data to a public webpage is easy.

In other news, Friedcat has also officially confirmed my new status as a board member!

I am truly honored and proud to have achieved this, and I look forward to playing any role I can to further ASICMINER's success.

two things

1) congratulations on your board seat, maybe now you can consider giving people the option of moving shares out of TAT (maybe for a fee?)

2) I would much rather friedcat post updates in the forum himself, otherwise this precisely becomes insider information (particularly in the hands of someone with that many shares - and you just mentioned your private shares aside from the passthrough you're offering right?)

Rockxie official presentation where? he told us he was simply a reseller !  (= LOL

finally  
Lets hope they follow some basic accounting rules and those reports are actually legible.

Cheers!

After reading through this topic, I wonder if it is not possible for ASICMiner to sell subsidized ASIC mining devices that are firmware locked to mine 25% for ASICMiner and 75% for the buyer.

This way hardware can be cheaper and ASICminer will not be tied to a centralized location. Better for the Bitcoin network, better for ASICMiner, and better for the miners (assuming the devices can be sold at at a 25%+ discount). Possible?

While on first sight this appears like a clever idea, it actually can't work.

If the goal is to be resilient if something happens to ASICminer, then the 25% would be lost anyway: nothing changed.

anyone knows where is the presentation and what's it's content?

ASICMINER remains the best investment in the bitcoin community that I know of, keep rocking friedcat!

1) congratulations on your board seat, maybe now you can consider giving people the option of moving shares out of TAT (maybe for a fee?)

2) I would much rather friedcat post updates in the forum himself, otherwise this precisely becomes insider information (particularly in the hands of someone with that many shares - and you just mentioned your private shares aside from the passthrough you're offering right?)

1) As I've stated in the past, I won't even consider exporting of TAT.AM/ASICM shares if the asset doesn't hold well over 5000 shares. Even then, if the service was added, it would have fees attached. However I will have other news you might like soon.

2) I understand, but this is the way he chooses to respond and I can't make him do otherwise. As is, I had to reach out twice to get the response at all. He is busy, and I'm not interested in nagging him about how he behaves. Regarding whether this info is a trading advantage, that "advantage" is something all of the other AM PT operators have had for months as board members. Only now am I the same as them. Will it turn out to be a real advantage? I have no idea, nor is it my concern. The biggest advantage is getting to be a part of the crew, in whatever small way I can.

Also here's a translation of Friedcat's answers to questions at the conference:

[runeks]

Has anyone spoken with friedcat via PM recently? I'd like to transfer my shares to ASICMINER-PT, but he hasn't answered my PM yet. Sent it last night, so maybe I'm just impatient.

Has changing how ownership of ASICMINER shares is determined been discussed? It seems to me that friedcat, a friggin' CEO, is wasting his time changing entries in a spreadsheet.

It's enough, Congratulation and appreciated the effort you made on to get those information from Friedcat.

For those people looking for information about last week... check out my weekly write up.  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg2653603#msg2653603

Speaking of which, I will be writing and posting the next one probably within an hour of dividends being posted.  If you have any comments, or suggestions on changes to the format, suggestions for added information, or submissions of news items... send them my way In a PM.  Right now for news items I have, the questions and answers from investors to friedcat, posted by TAT, and the concern of investors over a lack of information.

Also, if someone wants to generate nicer looking 7 day charts for me... let me know.  Otherwise I will just keep hacking them together in mspaint like a boss.

I believe transfers are usually done twice a week: on sunday and before the dividends go out.
