ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[velacreations]

Already sold

Might be the only time I've ever timed this crap right. Make up for some sdice losses.

yeah, I had some sell orders set at 1.3 at bitfunder.  I had forgotten about those, they were put there when I first bought a few at .7

Lucky me, I made a few thousand $$$ on a mistake.

I imagine we will all be able to buy these shares back at .85 by Monday.

Depending on today's update, I strongly doubt it. I seriously hope that I'm wrong though, I'd kill for the opportunity to grab up more shares at that price.

there's no demand in the market.  No one is buying, and everyone wants to sell.  

Look at the orders on the exchanges, we're like 16 shares away from .85 on bitfunder.  No one is taking sell orders, they just keep getting lower and lower.

There's decent support in the low .80's, the level we were at before the mini-bubble.

Now's your chance, the price just hit .836

Here's the simple maths of valuing ASICMiner:

There are 10Mn BTC unmined approximately.
ASIC Miner have 400,000 shares.
If ASIC Miner could mine 10% of all coins forever, then they mine 1Mn BTC for a total of 2.5 BTC/share (ie 1Mn/400k)
Assuming that an investor wanted a positive net return then they'd pay less than 2.5BTC to buy that income stream, probably nearer 1BTC, for a roughly 25% IRR over the long holding period.

The question therefore is what hash-share can ASICMiner hit and maintain, if they can go well over 10% then they're a good buy.

Note all the above is very simple, since it excludes running costs for ASICMiner (incl electricity), but also excludes other sources of income such as fees and profits from selling devices.

Um... no that's not simple math, you are basing your math on the assumption that mining will only depend on block reward, which means mining will stop once block reward is negligible. That's simply false, if mining were to stop once block reward is negligible, then Bitcoin would have failed at that point, due to no network security.

It is expected that transaction fee will make up for block reward, we are already seeing average transaction fee of nearly 1 BTC per block as of now. Transaction fee will go higher as adoption grows.

Also you are not taking into account of blade miners and possibly USB miners that AM is currently selling at insanely high profit margins that will bring large and fast short term cash dividend to investors.

Trust me, I'm buying.

I suggest you re-read what I wrote, my last sentence stated clearly my analysis excluded fees ie block fees and also sales from selling hardware devices ie new ASIC sticks or others.

Both of these are hard to forecast, as is the offsetting future costs of running the ASICs and the business overheads, which were similarly ignored for the purposes of the simple analysis.

Hm... Are you talking about the expected weekly update or did I miss another update somewhere?

I was talking about the upcoming weekly update.

Trust me, I'm buying.   

I think you're the only one, looks like sell orders are dropping like crazy.

The price might be back to the 70's by Monday...

I wonder why is that happening. Anyway, it's possible that after today's update the price will skyrocket again

That would be awesome.

unless Friedcat announces they are selling more blades, I doubt the price will rise very much.  There doesn't seem to be anyone buying above the mid 80's.

He already said he will be selling a batch every week.

well, as a shareholder, I hope there is news like this every week, because I like selling my shares so high!  But, I don't see how it can keep it up, and even selling at .92 is a good price for most of us, here.

Where are these so called "announcements" to be found, please?

Thanks.
