ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[organofcorti]

Maybe this is a noob question, but why there is a 242-pages thread about ASICMINER, instead of a dedicated sub-forum?

Because the vast majority of it is gossip and backslapping.

But even gossip would benefit from having specific threads for every piece of news that may sparkle discussions...

In that case you might also want to look at the speculation and alt-currency boards.

BTW, why do you have a photo of me as your avatar?

Edit: I was wrong, it was late and I was stupid, so instead: BTW, have you been my doppelganger?

But it would be a good thing to have a whole forum dedicated to asicminer. Noobquestions can get their own thread, discussions are more often done in own threads and friedcat maybe gets his real announcement thread...

John (+Theymos et al), MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I'm sure there would have to be some sort of agreement and etc.

Thanks, I might do so!

BTW, why do you have a photo of me as your avatar?

Lol, do we look alike? Because that's me.
(or maybe is this some sort of joke? mmmh...)

No, that was my cousin's wedding in 2009.

No, it wasn't. It looks a lot like it though. Almost as if you attempted to recreate it in tableau. Hmmmm

Does anyone know who the owner of these charts is?

I'd like to embed them somewhere and I want to make sure it's ok with them.

[SmiGueL]

Does anyone know who the owner of these charts is?

I know!  

Using the pictures (or links) is of course no problem. _{(Mentioning my name would be appreciated)}

Since it's about 35? pages ago since they've been posted:

*Click on them for al full-screen interactive version.










Because this type of chart makes it easy to filter per month/week/day: _{(Use 'Zoom' in the left upper corner or drag the bottom line to the right)}

well this isn't creepy at all.

Markup of 5500% would even make Apple blush. It's like BFL being able to make a Jalapeno for $4.98.

The joke being that they can't even do it for $49,800?

Exactly. People who want ASICMINER to sell products for below market value don't quite "get" business.

I will definitely credit you for the charts. They're great!

I'm setting up a site dedicated to information on ASICMINER, and I'd like to embed the live charts on the site. I think you may need to change your sharing preferences for me to be able to do this, but I'm not sure.

Hey SmiGuel,

I've mentioned your name whenever I've linked the charts. 

Out of interest, last week you said the predicted dividends graph was wrong because it based its estimate on 0 to 7 days before the dividend announcement, when it should have been 1 to 8 days before. Which way does the current divs graph represent this?

Thanks.

[SmiGueL]

Oh I fixed that within a few hours, it's in this edit.
So it's now showing the dividends based on 192 till 24 hour before the probe point
Of course the graph is ONLY based on 90% of the mining income, so selling 50 or 100 Block Eruptors this week will add about ~0.005BTC or ~0.010BTC to the divs

[velacreations]

so, if we give you credit, can we share that dividend graph?  That thing is beautiful.

Thanks mate. Appreciate it's only looking at mining income. 

[SmiGueL]

The divident graph was, in the first place, just created for myself to automatically calculate/show me the divs from mining.
Because SebastianJu noticed the sheet he posted the link here and then there were questions about it
It's pretty useless for the ones who aren't following this topic because devidends are also dependent from auctions income,
possible investments in new miners, other unseen costs. see my post here.

But for the rest of the graphs:

I thought you ment sharing it on forums etc.
The more publicity, the more buyers for the Block Erupter Blades, the more profits for shareholders

If you plan to use them on a commercial website adding my donation address
isn't probably to much to ask: 1SmiGSGWXzD5aZhmw3jyfpBFCgiki45MT
_{*I have to think about that one, depends on the site maybe.}

Until now all the days/weeks of work for that docs got me an astonishing BTC0.04
But receive anything for it is AND never was my main goal. I started with it just for fun and because I like stats.

If I ever receive enough BTC for it I 'll probably donate it back to the Asicminer shareholders by buying that
ooooooooh soo niiiiiice USB Miner

Exactly. People who want ASICMINER to sell products for below market value don't quite "get" business.

What would be market value? for a blade? or for a usb stick?  what fools would pay for it or what it is really worth?

 for the sake of argument a usb stick at 300Mh/s earns .01497 BTC which is 133 days to break even at 2 BTC and 0 power.

 so if diff was 20 mill not 10 mill that stick earns .007515 btc a day which is  266 days at 0 power.

 yeah the market is willing to pay 2btc for the stick so AM should sell it at 2 BTC.  I would not pay more then 1.25BTC.

 I rather use the gpu hd7790 at a cost of about 1.1 BTC.

 The blade is   a harder call 50BTC = 5750 usd.

134 days to make a profit? That would be a phenomenal return here on planet earth, but I think it will take longer due to difficulty increases.

What "fools" pay for it sets the market value. How do you determine what it's "really worth"? Who decides, you? The Politburo? Enlighten me please.
