ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[physalis]

Any speculations about the shareprice development in long term

How long term?

The next week(s) might see some more slow but not too ugly decline. Selling right now because of this is risky though, since you have no idea on what day FC will come out with an update.
When AM gets the 500TH over the coming month -> big price boost, definitely back up >2 while seeing some very sweet dividends again over the following weeks.

Longer it gets kind of difficult to predict. It depends a lot on how the competition will perform. Judging by the past, they will all act on the professional level of a bunch of pre-school kids and not get anything done (except probably Cointerra - if I could invest in them, I would). It also depends a lot on how AM's next-gen chips will perform. Right now, we know next to nothing about them.
But either way, I expect AM to stay in a strong position at least until towards the end of Q1 2014, even if their next-gen chips turn out to be complete garbage.

I think the share price is too low right now and just a product of the usual short-sightedness of the people here.
A few lower divs and all jump ship, only to flock back when the divs get juicy again. Easy money if you just got a little patience.

Just look at this acceleration graph below, I thought 2.5%/day would be the ceiling but no, it looks like it can accelerate even faster.

what site did you get that chart from?

Sorry, forgot to mention it's from bitcoin.sipa.be

thanks, just realized i could have simply gottten the url from your embedded image. that weekend beer seems to have slowed down my brain activity

ghash.io has over 200TH, but showing up only 5% in http://blockchain.info/pools, AM is 3% currently, mean while the Unknown is 25%, any idea who're hiding in that big pie ?

100TH (supposedly going to be 200TH now) has IP's 199.191.58.178 and 95.141.29.208 and their mining address is here - https://blockchain.info/address/19t7RxwXdfiwQMyQ3JVB16e9HgV7omijSs.  they are between 7 and 10% of total hash

It's a hell of a thing if you ask me:)

It's hella better than what appears to be AM circling the drain. .. . and targetting a tech that's going to be almost worthless by january. . . .if anybody else gets product in hand in the next 90 days the AM train is over

Except that AM will most likely have "product in hand" in the next 90 days as well. Period of lowish dividends entirely possible. Trainwreck? Only if you believe AM have done nothing with the thousands of BTC they have held back, and decided "Gen1 will last forever, let's not even bother developing something new".

I wish they had Gen2 quicker as well. But they are clever people, not dumbasses. "They will be back" as Arnie never said.

Canary is good source for hints.

Today he wrote something about new 45p hubs made by friedcat !!!

Cat is not sleeping it seems.

Found it

"Friedcat is testing a 49 port hub to become available "soon" (don't know what soon means Smiley ) for running USB sticks.  From what I know so far, it will be high quality, and you'll be able to power it using an ATX PSU.  Obviously price will be much better than alot of current options out there currently.  Hope he makes enough of them.  My understanding is that it will be geared towards those who will be looking to run 45+ USB setups."

Nice, I might be getting that hub, even if it's not for Erupters. I would love a hub powered by an ATX PSU - I dislike all those little inefficient power adaptors. If it has no fixed cable, it might be the dream hub

see how bitcoin mining drives innovation - nice big USB hub, immersed cooling, what will be next?

But now, to get a steady source of Bitcoins, Kothari has bought shares of a China-based company called ASIC Miner. The company has rooms full of servers that mine Bitcoins all day. These servers use reprogrammed chip technology called Application Specific Integrated Circuit Chips (ASIC), which has made the mining process faster. Every week, Kothari receives a steady supply of Bitcoins.

Unfortunately, that "steady source of Bitcoins" via AM dividends has turned out to be not-so-steady.

It sure would be nice if you could get reliable dividend income by buying shares of AM.  Not everyone is interested in capital appreciation or making a quick few BTC.  Some of us would prefer an investment that provides a stable source of income for decades to come and that we'll be able to pass on to our heirs some day.  They're still highly speculative right now, but hopefully shares of AM will eventually fit that bill.

Has FC ever missed a dividend payment?  I've received all of my dividends right on time, every time.
