Monero's privacy and therefore fungibility are MUCH stronger than Bitcoin's. This makes Monero a better candidate to deserve the term "digital cash".

Hmmm. An update would be appropriate.

Mabsark I think that your prediction about ASICminer back then was pretty dumb, here's why :
So you said that the mining company which made a promise for shareholders to hold minimum 10% of the network and is mining 2520 BTC/week with another stream of 2000+ BTC from sales/growing franchises is paying steady div min 0.0113 (actually it was in range 0.015-0.03 for 3 months) and considering the share price of 2.50 BTC with APR in range 20%-60% is vastly overpriced? I don't get it !
* I think that the only reason, why AM lost 10%+ of the network(which caused lower divs and then share price) is massive failure in Gen2 chip design which hit the whole mining industry, not just ASICminer (look at Cointerra, HashFast, BTCGARDEN, BFL and LabCoin)
So I believe that the Friedcat & Co., is doing everything right to get the job done with gen3 ... otherwise we're all fucked.

what he's trying to say is that he was right, because the share price fell a month or so after his prediction. The problem with this, is that he was very wrong, first, as the share price climbed considerably (and also divs) after his prediction. If someone says "a share price will drop" they will always be right, if given a long enough timeline. But, in the short term, it is very possible for them to be wrong (as is the case with Mabsark).

Bitcoin price going through the roof has to be very good for AM, I'd wager that AM has more bitcoins than most of the other mining companies combined. In fact, AM is probably one of the largest holders of bitcoins worldwide. Is there a rough figure for how many bitcoins AM has?

Are you suggesting that there's a relation between these failures?

* BFL didn't fail in the chip design, but in everything else * LabCoin I believe never intended to design anything, so I'd call it a plain scam rather than a failure * Cointerra, why do you think they failed? * HashFast, BTCGARDEN: I didn't follow the stories that much. If anybody could summarize in two lines what's up with them... I thought HashFast at least seemed on track not long ago?

Wow, that was low div again, as expected. Here you have a company with profits declining around 20% weekly. Not a good management of its earlier success. Even with new announcements that rate of decline is a disaster.

BFL did fail in the chip design. thats what ended up taking so long to deliver. they either werent able to produce a working chip or kept trying to make their chip meet the power specs they originally released.

I think some of them are cooperating behind the curtains. Especially those in China. It may not be wrong at all.

Yes. And meanwhile they are developing their gen2 chip ... with massive influx of funds from 20%(official) of network and without responsibilities to any shareholder.

Does KnC still plan to stop shipping sometime to let their customers get ROI? If they hold to that, could be a interesting self imposed fall from the top for them.

Sounds like a firmware issue to me, not a big deal. Its not like KnC didnt have those. & In the same time Cointerra *fired their whole R&D team Dont be silly. They are hiring for the next generation chip, 20/16nm. Hiring: Lead Physical Design Engineer for Next Gen ASIC .. Knowledge on latest technology node (FinFETs, 20nm, 16nm) is a plus
