This thread has derailed to btc-e trollbox where everyone keeps on speculating about 0.0001 changes in asicminer passthrough prices. If people want to fill up 3 pages with mindless chatter about this then they should start a thread about this.
This is a 386 pages thread, which makes no sense at all. It should have been closed and opened as a full subforum long ago. |

Just posting another reminder for those that have questions for friedcat. A few of us have started to compile questions for submission. Please keep in mind that it is very possible he may not answer some/any questions but would still like to submit them, on behalf of the "minority shareholders."
The plan is to submit these questions on a monthly basis.
Use "Q/A for ASICMiner" for the subject line.
Needs a redirection On the Point of a Sub-forum it is a lot of pages Not sure if one security merits it though but could be handy for a bitcointalk area Unless you meant an official website and/or blog outside of the bitcointalk forums |

THIS.Longest thread I ever COMPLETELY read was 96 pages, and it wasn't on this forum. People are at each other's throats here, any thread longer than 5 posts is guaranteed to have at least a few insults or an argument tossed around. Almost every single subforum here has threads that are too long to manage. Nobody has the time to sift through 400 pages of posts on every topic they're curious about. |

It does, for the simple reason that people are posting here in this thread, instead. |

To initiate a transfer, do I just PM friedcat with prof of key ownership? The reason I ask is because the shares were bought privately through a irl friend so I did nothing other than providing a key for dividends. Thank you
Hmmm... This sounds like a peculiar way to buy shares. Did you buy these shares before you even had an account at bitcointalk.org? I was under the impression that friedcat maintained a shareholder database that included the bitcointalk.org usernames for all of the directly owned shares as well as their e-mail address. |

I think that your impression is wrong, the only thing that's in the database afaik: - e-mail - bitcoin address - amount of shares |

What's the purpose of collecting e-mail addresses of the new owner if shares can be transferred with a PM? Seems to me that friedcat is willing to accept a PM or an e-mail from a shareholder in order to complete a transfer. Also, how does friedcat validate that someone owns shares when they hold an auction here on the forum if he doesn't track usernames of shareholders? |

By signing a message from the address in the database. |

By signing a message from the address in the database. Sure, that's how it could (and maybe should) be done, but according to TAT's escrow agreement from my last share purchase: "Friedcat does not normally require signing a message from the Seller's shareholding wallet, but you are welcome to do so when requesting the transfer." This seems to indicate that he is tracking the usernames of current shareholders and if he receives a PM from that username requesting that a number of shares be transferred to a different bitcoin address, then he complies. |

Since people have a problem with us talking about the share price of a security in the security thread, I've started an AM speculation thread over here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=235763Be kind, it's just opinions and speculation and my life savings... |

What if a shareholder dies and one of their descendants wants to sell the share or have the e-mail address changed? Or a shareholder gets banned from Bitcointalk.org and doesn't have access to PM anymore? |

Problem is winning streaks always come to an end, and if you are always always in, you are guaranteed "bust" down the line. Its good you've opened another thread though where you can stress about every tick up or down in the share price, because as you've pointed out, you've invested everything you have in it. Good luck anyway. |

This is where friedcat having a shareholder's e-mail address on file comes in. It would be an alternative means of informing friedcat that you want to transfer shares. |
