ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[ThickAsThieves]

They are sent weekly directly to a public address of your choosing.

When you buy direct shares, freidcat is literally just changing the ownership of the previous address to your new address.

so how do I know that the address is being changed correctly or verify this if there is no login site? I just wait a week and assume it's changed and won't/cant be changed back?

you can get friedcat to confirm it to you in an email.
Alternatively you could always buy passthrough shares from bitfunder or btct.

Or havelockinvestments.com

Friedcat seems to do everything himself. I worry what would happen if he got hit by a truck tomorrow and ended in a coma or worse a graveyard. Does he have people who can then take over the operation smoothlessly?

I think for a multi-million business like ASICMINER...they should have a back up plan.......ASICMINER is not one person business, it is impossible for one man to dealing with everything in this level...

But this multi-million company does not have a website and likely didn't even buy the domains asicminer.com/net in time, so all my love for AM appart, I wouldn't assume anything that one could assume from a "usual" multi-million company...

I'm hoping that Friedcat is like Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge.com.

No, like a group of people acting as one person.  I'm hoping for at least 1/2 a dozen friedcats.

cats have 9 lives so it only makes sense that friedcat is a team of 9 people.  duh.

I dunno, a fried cat sounds like at least one life has already been lost.

As long as ASICMINER mining around 20% of Btc and they pay out dividends, I do not really care about whether it owns the domains asicminer.com/net  or not...Additionally, Some scams have very professional website and 24/HR customer hotline...

[toffoo]

Yes, seriously this is actually pretty hilarious:

WHICH WEBSITE IS THE LEGIT ASIC COMPANY AND WHICH IS THE TOTAL SCAM?

https://cryoniks.com

http://www.bitfountain.com

[dhenson]

Is there a site or post somewhere that shows the total that has been paid in dividends and at what point dividends exceeded .1 btc / share?

[Franktank]

A bit of shameless promotion

You sir are a rock star.  Thank you.

Lets get back on this topic...

The number of shares held by the public... looking through the blockchain at satoshi transactions I can only account for 64,469 shares... where are the others?  Did I miss some? Are some shares not handled the same way as these? Did friedcat buy back some shares and we have yet to discover this?  Were there never actually more then this many shares sold and we were wrong all along?

Info taken from transactions on 5/29/2013 such as this transaction https://blockchain.info/tx/2f161bac1ef4c5dc09168de36a7c7c80a7d0ac236ec1e29a25c825d5c3a6ed7e and the other 5 like it (total of 6).

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Am3MH7b0EM3adG56N1VzZzdtNXRZSkdOOXcxbGx0TXc&usp=sharing

Some basic information... From what I know all public holders of shares are paid one satoshi per share before dividends from 115tTroRo3B9ZDQ6ATJGDCHcNEVbjJoZnF.  By looking at all transactions from that address on a dividend day, I should be able to account for all publicly held shares and figure out what addresses own how many shares and track movement.  PT shares derive through publicly held shares (often called direct shares) so even though some people would not be represented here themselves... the PT should be listed and the pt share holders will be under that.  TAT confirmed his address was already listed here in my sheet.

Are my assumptions wrong?  Did I fuck up and miss a transaction in this spreadsheet?  Is YOUR dividend address listed? Or.. is something else going on.  If everyone reading this thread just checked to see if they see their address listed in my spreadsheet, we could quickly figure out if the mistake is on my end (which i assume is the case)...  If you do NOT see yours listed... link me to the transaction that includes your satoshies for 5/29.

try to use actual dividend payments, not satoshis.

Is YOUR dividend address listed?

Mine is there.

Its a fansite and it hasn't been updated since a month.. _{(just like the charts on the last tab, also not my website)}

I don't want to derail the current discussion started by aahzmundus, but I have a quick question.

I"m curious how you derive the hashrate on your site (which is amazing, by the way.)

I have no interest in doing this myself, I'm just curious how it works. Is it some sort of factor of difficulty and blocks per hour?

Edit -- Nevermind, I found a good explanation here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty

[daemondazz]

What is the red box under each transaction showing? Is it the difference between the input and the output excluding change, in which case, adding those up comes to about 384k?
