Some choice cuts from The Genesis Block's 2013 Bitcoin Mid-Year Review and Outlook. (The ASICMiner bit starts on page 16).

Quote
They have been the only ASIC manufacturer to have products available to ship immediately upon payment. This is starkly contrasted with their competitors BFL and Avalon who have opted to pre-sell all orders before shipping, causing customers to wait 3-12 months before receiving products.
Quote
The initial ASICMiner IPO was in August 2012 and sold in lots of 5,000 shares for 0.1 BTC each, raising over $100,000 for initial ASIC production. As of this writing, shares are trading at 4.25 BTC each, providing initial shareholders a 42,500% return in 8 months and netting IPO investors millions of dollars in gains

I think it's a positive sign for shareholders... just think how much higher the dividends COULD be if ASICMiner was trying to get all of the transaction fees! Smiley

Update

Online Hashes (theoretical): 24TH/s. Struggling at current 22TH/s in average due to maintenance and troubleshooting (mainly PSU and internal LAN hardware). We are fixing some bottleneck while bringing new hashpower online at the same time.

...

We are using the same transaction policy of the official Bitcoin client's default behavior.

More lost transaction fees?

Anyone?

Canth responded to your question.

Yes, but give it 3-4 days for the transfer to take place. Friedcat only does transfers 2x a week, so have a bit of patience.

Oops.
Sorry and thanks. Smiley

If you don't know the basics, don't get involved with puts and calls. You will be the "idiot in the room". Puts and calls are complex options. Don't let any put option writer tell you otherwise. They are the ones looking for the suckers to make easy money from.

Thanks, but I need the actual data (e.g. daily prices) as a csv or similar. Otherwise I am guessing at the vol and the option price.

Bullish nothing else considered, but in reality it would depend on the writer's overall position. For instance, if I do write puts I'd probably sell some AM to compensate.

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

Wrote some on btct.co:

PUT #1523
expiry 80 d, 8 h, 45 m
quantity 5
strike 3.20000000
premium 0.32550000
total consideration 2.87450000

If people want more pm me or post here; it's limited how many I can write though.

I priced these as american but I don't know whether btct uses american or european. You should check if it's important to you.

Also note if the price of AM moves significantly I may amend this offer on btct.

That premium is huge.. are you getting any buys?

If so that would be some pretty bearish sentiment

Lol! Option writers have no balls on BTC when compared with stock exchanges.
That PUT option you wrote basically translates into give me free BTC.

Anyway best of luck Smiley.

Im sorry i dont find the time anymore to read 20 or 30 pages each week in this thread so can someone tell me whats the status for hardware selling? I believe friedcat only sells erupter usb but not erupter blades now right? Whats the reason? No hardware available? And when will both products be sold again?

Can it be that friedcat doesnt do status updates anymore?

Please ALWAYS contact me through bitcointalk pm before sending someone coins.
