What's the hardware sales situation these days? I think I missed the relevant posts about this...
Rockxie has been listing pre-orders for the new 5Gh/10GH (at 35W/70w) blades. Rockxie is the Chinese distributor for Asicminer and I believe only sells to the Chinese market. I've not seen any sites offering pre-orders outside of China. General consensus is that we should see new hardware blade sales in dividend on the 24th.

cranking out volumes hitting mega large radars worldwide, i'm telling you would not believe friedcats' followers on twitter #2 stock!~~~ Yawn. You don't need to attempt hyping AM with these pitiful one liners. They don't do anything (no one buys because you says it's #2 stock, you have no data to back up your claim). You and Elmore ASIC, act the same, yawn, registered within a minute of eachother. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg2707849#msg2707849rockxie is in on my email list the cat is out of the bag + burnie & everyone digs friedcatzzz antics~~~ These repeated punctation signs always finishing a single stupid sentence. Oh no... TECICENINE/IRA has mutated and is back ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

So what's the best place to buy ASICMINER put options?
BTC-TC only has TWO contracts available. And they both have huge premiums.
Is there something better anywhere?
Put out how many you're looking for, what strike and premium you're looking for and what your time frame is - you'll get people to put them up. Possibly myself included. Fair request. I'm looking to buy 20 American style put options with a strike price of 3.0 BTC and a duration of 90 days for 0.25 BTC per contract.So what's the best place to buy ASICMINER put options?

If anybody has a link that explains how simply as possible how these put options work, please share. I'm a complete layman with this. An American style put option is a contract that entitles the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the specified asset at the specified price (called the strike price) within the specified period. If it's European style then it's at the expiration date. I'm tempted I must admit. I'm a bit pushed for time at the moment - how many were you thinking of buying?

I love how troll that is. It ended up being a brilliant move that made quite a lot of money.

I'm not dying to know the answer right now... but someday I'd like to know why ASICMiner doesn't include more transactions in its blocks. If you look at this block: http://blockchain.info/block-index/398726/000000000000004a96eb5e666d882b238ab2bf5c51f6b3c0cc3eb420517b64a1You'll notice that it was found a full hour after the previous block... so, 60 minutes worth of transactions were being collected in that time... and yet ASICMiner's block has only 8 transactions. Seems like a lot of missed transaction fees, no? Am I missing something?

It makes a bad public image, considering the recent blockchain spam and congestion.

While I'm a glad investor, it would be nice to see them supporting the blockchain a bit more.

Offering .28 per contract at 3.0, 90d. I will pay and have purchased many options already. Alternatively, if you'd like more return on your frozen assets in exchange for more risk, I'll offer 0.3 for 3.2 (this has been a standing offer). BTCT only.

Right now it says .01785 Is that right? How does it figure that? It looks at AM's mining wallet and divides by 400K . No, read this
So the mining income is projected into the future but the sales income is what has been sold so far? Exactly ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) The mining income is 'pretty' steady, and thus a linear extrapolation seems very reasonable.. But if in the first 24h 2.5k BTC of sticks/blades are sold paid it is VERY unlikely that at the end of the week the final amount will be 18k BTC (aka: More income on sales than the highest dividend ever..)But I'm kind of 'testing' it right now, if this value seems reasonable I'll add it to the live page ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

But less will do. I will trump Vycid's bid and pay 0.31 per contract for 90d puts with a strike price of 3.2.

Seems like a lot of missed transaction fees, no? Am I missing something? I actually did an analysis of all ASICMiner mined blocks, and they only get around 60% of the amount of fees that all other blocks get on average. And they only include 65% the number of transactions that other nodes include. Analyzed 7,141 blocks containing 2,023,595 transactions. -----Stats-----:
ASICMiner stats (1190 blocks, 232,779 transaction): Average transaction count per block: 195.6 Maximum number of transactions in a block: 1323 Minimum fee: -0.00000000 Average fee: 0.00084612 Average fees per block: 0.1655 Other blocks stats (5951 blocks, 1,790,816 transaction): Average transaction count per block: 300.9 Maximum number of transactions in a block: 1333 Minimum fee: -0.00000000 Average fee: 0.00089534 Average fees per block: 0.2694

While I'm a glad investor, it would be nice to see them supporting the blockchain a bit more. China's network infrastructure isn't really comparable to the rest of the world. 1) It's a large country - roughly the size of the US and divided into 22 provinces. 2) There are multiple ISPs - bringing 100s of millions of nodes into existence over the course of a decade or so is not without some growing pains. 3) China is peered somewhat haphazardly with itself and other regions around the world. Latency from Tokyo to Beijing can sometimes be faster than Beijing to Beijing between 2 separate ISPs. Latency to New York might be better than latency to Sydney - depends upon the ISPs and what is going on with #4. Your mileage may vary. 4) The great firewall of China. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Shield_Project ISPs practice self censorship. The government censors everything it feels like. Blocking or slowing down connections and then asking questions later, if at all is the standard practice. Perhaps as Friedcat adds offshore operations, the AM node will end up being better connected.

Given the ratio of the network hashrate of AM, that seems a crucial point to me, not as an AM shareholder but for the overall bitcoin network health. Additionally, as an AM shareholders, does not look very good for AM reputation. Hope things will get better soon.
