ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[ThickAsThieves]

AM100 & TAT.ASICMINER Offer (Limited Time Only, Ends Nov. 15, 2013)
Additionally, we will be offering AM100 or TAT.ASICMINER shareholders a temporary service to convert their shares into AM1 or direct shares for a fee of 5 (five) TAT.ASICMINER shares per whole share. That is a 105:1 ratio.

Example #3: You have 1000 AM100 shares, but you want to convert them to AM1 shares. Push 1050 AM100 shares back to us, and email us according to the directions below.[/i]

How to Convert Your AM100 (or TAT.ASICMINER) Shares to Direct Shares with Friedcat
 1. Using the Transfer feature, push the AM100 (or TAT.ASICMINER) shares to the issuer account. They must be a 105:1 ratio, this means the minimum is 105 AM100 or TAT.ASICMINER shares.
 2. Make the subject of your email: AM100
 3. Send an e-mail to tat.investments@gmail.com from your account email address registered with HavelockInvestments.com and include the following info:
  - Account name
  - Quantity of shares pushed
  - Wallet address that you want the direct shares attached to
  - Email address you want the shares attached to

Do NOT send your request more than once, and do NOT include multiple requests in one email.

Conversions will be transferred in batches, and confirmations will ONLY be sent after each batch. Do NOT send emails requesting updates.

NOTE: TAT Investments is not responsible for any lost value, arbitrage, or trading opportunities due to delays in processing transfer requests. TAT Investments is not responsible for any limitations or discontinuations of services or access to liquidity imposed by the host exchanges.

Is tat.investments@gmail.com the correct address to xfer AM100 shares to on Havelock?

Try it again now, there should now be an option to send direct to issuer, rather than put in an email address.

What are the estimated NRE costs for the different nm sizes?

Wonder if they failed at the 65 size like BFL did, even BFL's second shot at 65 was still way out of their power specs.

Uhh... I just assumed that tat.investments@gmail.com was the correct address for the issuer. I hope... that was OK?

Don't have the exact quote, but didn't friedcat say that multiple teams were developing in parallel for ASICMINER? That would significantly increase their chances.

Multiple teams will help.

Cointerra will be liquid cooling and AM will be immersion cooling, but cointerra  is selling equipment at $3/GH, will AM be able to beat that?

Immersion cooling will be hard to ship. I bet the usbs won't be immersion cooled.

Its correct that the advantage of lower process nodes arent so high in cost like it looks on the first view since a chip is way more expensive. But a big factor to keep in mind is that you save a lot money by assembly, you need less miner boards, you need less work to do for the same TH and you need less space. Not to forget the higher speed to bring up TH.
So as long as you dont plan to sell... for mining lower process nodes have some good advantages.

The NRE costs for all 28nm were payed buy customers preorder funds that were willing to dig their own grave.
Not an option for Asicminer.

I didnt speak about NRE-Costs at all. Only production costs. NRE-Costs are higher of course too and the higher the diff is rising the more impact has it on future chip production. Thats correct.

But isnt asicminer already developing 28nm? I though they developed a 40nm or 65nm chip that didnt work good and now work on 28nm. Or was it another process node?

Speculation is that 65/55nm node development was unsuccesfull and now they are developing 40nm node (~$200 000 NRE)

Are you sure you didnt lost a zero? The numbers i heard were more in $2 Millions...

The other companies don´t have to worry about NRE because the customer already took all the risk and funded NRE for no gain.

Asicminer has to add the NRE costs to every chip they produce.
It is all about costs per Thash including NRE costs.
If 5000Thash 40nm are cheaper than 5000Thash 28nm you will go the 40nm way.


Imho 65nm has failed and 40nm is in development right now.

I dont think so. Once the NRE-Costs are paid and the miners work you can earn the NRE-Cost back in. Every chip on top that you build is cheap then since you can build as many as you want with the profit. But of course the high NRE-Costs are a big factor even more now.

Ken from ActM mentioned NRE costs of $1m for the structured ASIC from eASIC (which is like "half FPGA - half ASIC" and thus much cheaper), CoinTerra needs to raise $5m for their full custom 28nm ASIC, if I'm not mistaken..

If the NRE costs listed in the report are indeed for the 40 nm line, then it's only $210,119.50. It's low, but not too low that it's impossible to be for 40 nm.

Wasn't it Avalon?

I have a question is there a AsicMiner cube from you freidcat

Wow, something new!  Or is it just 3 blades + PSU + hub, packed in a box?
Anyway, glad to see that AM can still offer competetive pricing with gen.1 hardware.

Jewish?

[Strange Vlad]

That Cube is exactly 100x as powerful as USB Block Eruptor, which also used to be sold for 1.99BTC not so long ago.
Only in Bitcoinland...

I want mine custom designed:



Think Valve will mind?

[keeron]

Let the crazy sales begin!! (part 2)

This is good pricing (for us shareholders, ofcource)

if mid Nov shipping is correct, then expect the share price to at least double after 2 weeks of that (when we see some good sale numbers/higher divs)

TO DA MOON!!!!

[romerun]

I thought AM do not do preorder

[keeron]

I thought AM do not do preorder

You think correct. Resellers != Asicminer

[abbeytim]

yah I was wondering if it was 3 of the rev 1 blades in a cube case or something that wtcr is making
