ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[JordanL]

Yes he probably thinks that because his company was one of the best investments in the history of mankind he can deviate slightly from the scheduled Thursday updates and only post when he has something important to say, and everyone will still be happy.

He must not know the Bitcoin community very well.

Looks like the compared to last week mined did not reset this week

We're still around 25% returns on ASICMINER-PT...
As we get closer to what traditional investors and investments can get, will those investors require more data and transparency?

Is there a reason virtual markets would be willing to shoulder more risk for equal or less returns than traditional markets?

New ASICMINER Weekly Write-Up!  This time instead of posting directly in the thread, I am writing and hosting it on a Google doc.  This way I can format things better, add a table of contents for older posts... all sorts of nice things.

I would suggest using a more understandable date format, the "mm/dd/yyyy" is quite insane to anyone who is not used to it.
If you do not want to switch to "dd/mm/yyyy" that would be understandable, but there are alternatives, such as "yyyy/mm/dd", or at worst "mon dd yyyy" (i.e. the months in letters instead of numbers).

yyyy-mm-dd is the ISO standard.

ISO standard it is!  Thank you for correcting my american bias!

The other consideration is the ordering of the posts.  Initially people only care about the most recent post... but later people coming to this may want to read them all.

Do I a) keep it in reverse chronological order b) order them chronologically c) have the most recent one first, then chronologically or d) Some other option I have yet to consider.

Also, Thank you for the donations!  I will be forwarding some/using them in part to fund my donations of SimG and Runeks for their awesome charts.

Finally, honestly all suggestions are welcome.  I want this to be a good resource, and for that to be so I need people to double check I got my info right, or mention things I may not have considered.  For example someone suggested making sure to get negative news in there, not just the biased positive news.  I realized I was being a huge fanboy and corrected that this week.

I appreciate that : )

I'd put the oldest first.

That's because if you are a new reader and want to read them in order, scrolling upwards is very bad, especially if posts are more than 1 page long.

Vice-versa, if you put oldest first, people can just click the link pointing to the new post and reach it without hassle.

Last report is the most important so I think it should be the very first link on index page.
However if You insist on chronological order then last report first with bold font, followed by all previous reports.

Example 1:

Code:

[b]Current report 2013-07-10[/b]
Previous report 2013-06-30
Previous report 2013-06-23
Previous report 2013-06-16

Example 2:

Code:

[b]Current Report 2013-07-10[/b]
Previous report 2013-06-16
Previous report 2013-06-23
Previous report 2013-06-30

25% in stock price would be an awesome year for a traditional investor.  25% in dividends plus whatever the price of AM shares has gone up would be an insane return.  What did you think traditional investors usually make?  What does your portfolio look like so that I can copy it?

Can't speak for all investors but, yeah, I would require more data and transparency if it dipped under 20%.

As far as I'm concerned these virtual markets are much more risky than traditional markets thus the bar on dividends must be higher.  What I don't understand is why people are investing in some of these mining contracts that render around 3-7% dividends.

There are many overvalued mining securities out there.  AM is not one of them.

correct

People also buy vapour from BFL.
People are stupid.
