ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[thecodyshow]

Has anyone got any insight as to why the asicminercharts website say that asicminer hasnt mined any new coins since about 4 hours ago?

A watched pot never boils.

lol id have to say there is enough people obsessed with checking those charts that it is always a watched pot

Ha-ha that is actually pretty true I just watch the estimated dividends you guys tell me the hash-rate all the time

This is just my opinion, but I don't think AM needs or wants widespread investor awareness. The general public isn't aware of BTC, much less a foreign company mining and selling BTC mining hardware. Presuming Joe investor gets over those concepts, they then get to learn that purchasing shares amounts to using an "entertainment website" with pass-through shares and that "real" shares are maintained by a guy in China with spreadsheet. I really think that this is too much to expect.

I wasn't saying it to advertise shares, it's to advertise their hardware.  The same thing about a sales site.  Advertising their stocks has no benefit to them, but selling more hardware does.

OK fair enough. I'd still say that it's better for the distributors to do the advertising. Let the parent company do what it does best - desgin, build, sell hardware and mine with it. Everything else is a distraction.

- Investors should use pass-through shares whenever they think they might hold the shares for less than 90 days or for transactions fewer than 10-20 shares. There are over 100 owners with shares in the single digits and I imagine that this creates extra administrative overhead for AM.

I completely disagree with this.  If it is too much work, then they need to get a better system.  Why should shareholders be inconvenienced because AM has failed to put proper systems in place?  I've seen a number of people offer to help, code or do whatever to get some sort of share system in place, but AM has refused.  They are choosing the current system, not us. 

I stick by my original point - for traders that want to jump in and out of the market, there are PT exchanges which accommodate this. I don't blame AM for not bothering managing an easier exchange mechanism since there are PT exchanges that handle this role and it doesn't benefit the long term shareholders much. At the end of the day, PTs are essentially the same thing as direct shares. In the event of bitfunder or btct failing, friedcat has all of our shareholder records anyway.

Has there been any news as to why Avg 12H Hashrate has dipped to 11.5TH~?

Not sure, but these blocks are probably ASICMINER with a new IP address:
https://blockchain.info/blocks/61.164.151.77

No those are another pool, Discus Fish or something

no, he doesn't.  he only has the main PT address, not the individual shareholders within the PT.

That is incorrect for btct at least. Btct emails a full list of PT shareholders every 12 hours to friedcat - it does this for all offerings as a backup in case the site goes down permanently, for whatever reason.

Dividend this week?

According to these graphs: http://runeks.dk/bitcoin/

0.0116 * (7/6) = 0.0135 (current dividend multiplied by a week over currently mined days)

What's the expected hardware sales? The out of stock announcement was on the 14th and the new USB sales started yesterday, which suggests very little in the way of sales. If there was that would be awesome though. Not expecting much this week. I'll put it at 0.017 which is still good.

[statdude]

I take an hourly backup of bitfunder. So, i'll have it for us in case.

We're BAAAACK!

CanaryInTheMine is selling USB miners like hotcakes... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=241414.0

And this is probably just US customers for the most part with the recent reseller agreements friedcat set up...

ASICMINER IS DOOMED SELL YOUR SHARES! (So I can buy them cheep and take in the epic div for this week!)

Yes and no. The payment is for 400 BTC and who knows if it makes it into this weeks dividends so quickly. Additionally, the current mining wallet is at 5200 BTC. Tomorrow it'll be around 6050 BTC. 400 BTC is a 6.6% bonus and brings the dividend to 0.016 (6450/400000). Epic? Not really but who knows, we'll see. There's got to be more to it than that.

Because they didn't find a block from 6/24/2013 20:24:36 UTC until 6/25/2013 0:17:34 UTC.

Code:

Nah, he's not the one running it, he just made the charts. I forgot who runs it though, I'd estimate that info is about 100 pages back in this thread.
