ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[freedomno1]

Thanks for pointing that out waits for the fix from SmiGueL I'll just divide the network rates by 10 and assume that was the correct division

Fixed

Seems that the source changed the difficulty format a bit which shifted the dot by 1 number
_{(last 10 difficulty changes this wasn't a problem)}
Please PM me next time when there are problems whith the charts I'll check this very often and it 'll keep the thread clean

Roger that it's been peaceful lately by AM page growth standards XD
Thanks for the fast fix and as always appreciate your charts

What's the hardware sales situation these days? I think I missed the relevant posts about this...

cranking out volumes hitting mega large radars worldwide, i'm telling you would not believe friedcats' followers on twitter #2 stock!~~~

Yawn. You don't need to attempt hyping AM with these pitiful one liners. They don't do anything (no one buys because you says it's #2 stock, you have no data to back up your claim). You and Elmore ASIC, act the same, yawn, registered within a minute of eachother.

Rockxie has been listing pre-orders for the new 5Gh/10GH (at 35W/70w) blades.   Rockxie is the Chinese distributor for Asicminer and I believe only sells to the Chinese market.

I've not seen any sites offering pre-orders outside of China.

General consensus is that we should see new hardware blade sales in dividend on the 24th.

These repeated punctation signs always finishing a single stupid sentence. Oh no... TECICENINE/IRA has mutated and is back

So what's the best place to buy ASICMINER put options?

BTC-TC only has TWO contracts available. And they both have huge premiums.

Is there something better anywhere?

Put out how many you're looking for, what strike and premium you're looking for and what your time frame is - you'll get people to put them up. Possibly myself included.

Fair request.

I'm looking to buy 20 American style put options with a strike price of 3.0 BTC and a duration of 90 days for 0.25 BTC per contract.

If anybody has a link that explains how simply as possible how these put options work, please share. I'm a complete layman with this.

An American style put option is a contract that entitles the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the specified asset at the specified price (called the strike price) within the specified period.

If it's European style then it's at the expiration date.

I'm tempted I must admit. I'm a bit pushed for time at the moment - how many were you thinking of buying?

Some old-timey Sunday reading for everyone: http://trilema.com/2012/lolvacute-pentru-posteritate/

Conversation includes conversation in IRC around the time ASICMINER was still trading at .1btc each.

"Ill trade you 2080 asicminer for 4160 obsi.abmo"

[tinus42]

Does anyone here know of a relationship between ASICMiner and DiscusFish?

I see a clear correlation between their hashrates. While correlation != causation, is DiscusFish maybe renting a percent of ASICMiner's hashrate? Are investors being paid a little extra?

As I know,they are both chinese,so am i.
And ,that's all.

I'm curious. Are you a PLA officer? As your avatar implies?

I love how troll that is. It ended up being a brilliant move that made quite a lot of money.

I'm not dying to know the answer right now... but someday I'd like to know why ASICMiner doesn't include more transactions in its blocks. If you look at this block:

http://blockchain.info/block-index/398726/000000000000004a96eb5e666d882b238ab2bf5c51f6b3c0cc3eb420517b64a1

You'll notice that it was found a full hour after the previous block... so, 60 minutes worth of transactions were being collected in that time... and yet ASICMiner's block has only 8 transactions. Seems like a lot of missed transaction fees, no? Am I missing something?

I feel like friedcat should check that his node is well connected and receiving transactions. It makes a bad public image, considering the recent blockchain spam and congestion.

Yes, unfortunately the node isn't well connected; it never includes many transactions per block. While I'm a glad investor, it would be nice to see them supporting the blockchain a bit more.

Offering .28 per contract at 3.0, 90d. I will pay and have purchased many options already.

Alternatively, if you'd like more return on your frozen assets in exchange for more risk, I'll offer 0.3 for 3.2 (this has been a standing offer).

BTCT only.

[SmiGueL]

I created a new temporary page for the dividend prediction:
www.asicminercharts.com/divprediction

Eventually I'll add the meter next to the wallet meter on the live page

Right now it says .01785  Is that right?  How does it figure that?

It looks at AM's mining wallet and divides by 400K . No, read this

So the mining income is projected into the future but the sales income is what has been sold so far?

Exactly

The mining income is 'pretty' steady, and thus a linear extrapolation seems very reasonable..
But if in the first 24h 2.5kBTC of sticks/blades are sold paid it is VERY unlikely that at the end of the week the final amount will be 18kBTC
_{(aka: More income on sales than the highest dividend ever..)}

But I'm kind of 'testing' it right now, if this value seems reasonable I'll add it to the live page

I want to buy around 20 contracts. But less will do.

I will trump Vycid's bid and pay 0.31 per contract for 90d puts with a strike price of 3.2.

I actually did an analysis of all ASICMiner mined blocks, and they only get around 60% of the amount of fees that all other blocks get on average. And they only include 65% the number of transactions that other nodes include.

Code:

Analyzed 7,141 blocks containing 2,023,595 transactions.
-----Stats-----:

ASICMiner stats (1190 blocks, 232,779 transaction):
	Average transaction count per block: 195.6
	Maximum number of transactions in a block: 1323
	Minimum fee: -0.00000000
	Average fee: 0.00084612
	Average fees per block: 0.1655
Other blocks stats (5951 blocks, 1,790,816 transaction):
	Average transaction count per block: 300.9
	Maximum number of transactions in a block: 1333
	Minimum fee: -0.00000000
