ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[JimiQ84]

Seems friedcat sold all the baldes.

and is getting data center clean & ready for 2nd gen 

[carpetbagger]

How we gonna make money if he keeps selling everything?

Seems friedcat sold all the baldes.

Sold all the baldies?

OMG no more mining! sell all your shares super quick!!!!

there is also 9000 BTC reserve fund - http://blockchain.info/address/1HgTJED7XEGy4vVwKa8kgefWqUB3VRX2mW

Looks like ASICMINER turned on their datacenter, watching the blockchain with interest...

They're hashing at 28.09 over the past 48 hours.. Nothing spectacular yet. Unless you count the two blocks in the last hour, which is likely luck.

That wasn't my interpretation of why they found two blocks in the last hour. We'll see.

there wont be 2nd gen until november, you need to read july's update from friedcat, if i rememeber correctly

[Vycid]

You guys are speculating that Friedcat is deploying what he described as "experimental 2nd gen" by switching everything off?

Why would he even do that for large scale 2nd gen rollout? Surely he's not going to shut down gen 1 yet.

they are miss-led

Update

Project Timeline
November-December: Experimental products of 2nd-gen chips and modular large-scale deployment solutions.

something exponential towards the end of october?

Even if he's not planning to deploy full-scale till late December he should be getting his e-beam sample chips within the next couple of weeks, so he could be testing those any time now.

What makes no sense is shutting ANYTHING down for that.

It goes like this, it seems -

Temporary good luck? Friedcat increased the hashpower!

Temporary bad luck? Don't worry, Friedcat is increasing the hashpower!

[beardays]

maybe sold all the blades off because was finishing setting up new equipment, and today has been setting it up? they said 2nd gen was coming later maybe this is 1.5 gen

Blocks 257124 and 257126 were also both ASICMINERs .... Very recently. Where is lot of luck also bad luck is...

Or they might hash only half the day ...to save energy or hide their capabilities!? [/irony]

maybe some 1 spilled beer accidentally on miners, all shutdown

FC does have a track record or under-promising and over-delivering. For all we know he could be setting up quantum miners and the just drop a post out of the blue tomorrow telling everyone they are available through his usual reseller channels.

It is always fun to speculate that he may be ahead of his timelines, and it is certainly possible. Or that me may be moving datacenters to more reliable locations, or that it's all just the luck of the draw.

I guess for me that's part of the appeal.

whatever it is, there is some buying demand out there, just watched ~120 shares get bought up in the last hour.

Anticipation of a decent div?  Or just leaving the other securities?

Div anticipation.. It' happens every week

really?  I usually see a dump right before divs, not this much buying.

There is a strong correlation between "Vycid is posting to the forum" and "AM is finding a block": Sometimes it is silent for 12 hours, and at other times, there is noice every 10 minutes. Let's call it luck when it is quiet.
