Is AM/Bitfountain located in Hong Kong or in China now? recent news ... The PBOC also said that merchants could no longer price their goods and services in bitcoin and couldn’t exchange their wares for bitcoin. from wiki : Under the principle of "one country, two systems", Hong Kong has a different political system from mainland China. Hong Kong's independent judiciary functions under the common lawframework. Hong Kong Basic Law, its constitutional document, which stipulates that Hong Kong shall have a "high degree of autonomy" in all matters except foreign relations and military defence, governs its political system. Although it has a burgeoning multi-party system, a small-circle electorate controls half of its legislature. The head of the government, the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, is chosen by an Election Committee of 400 to 1,200 members, a situation that will be in effect during the first 20 years of Chinese rule. So is AM under China or Hong Kong law? Are they different? I would like to hear a statement from ASICminer regards recent PBOC statement ... are we in direct danger?

Up now for me: AM1 at 2.5 AM100 at .0024.
would be nice if AM1 was for 2.5 BTC ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I am an optimistic person but I don't think that we will see this number again ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I just played with some mining numbers. If AM had 40 PH and the network stopped growing once it hit 200 PH then you could get 2.5 BTC per share based on a market that expects 30% yield per year in dividends ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) However, we COULD see 2.5 BTC/share if the market changes its perspective about AM from a company that "probably won't exist in a year or two" to "a company that will probably still be pumping out mining hardware solutions for the next decade" The longer AM exists without disappearing/collapsing/suffering major scandals, the more the market will shift to the latter perspective, in which case getting a 5-10% yield (in BTC!!!) per year will seem like a super investment. In this case, 2.5 BTC / share seems possible (AM would still have to be doing very well for this to be the case). I do see the logic of your numbers, but we're so far away from 2.5 it's not even funny. I don't see that happening at the very least until Gen3 is already rolling out.

I don't care about momentary "BTC price" fluctuations ... what I care about is AM ... if AM is able to continue all current operations within the law.

Obviously, as long as they don't sell equipment anymore for BTC. Until BTC is completely outlawed. Oh my, the poor AM share price.... If they are under China's law (because that I am asking if they are) ... you're right that they aren't allowed to sell hardware for bitcoins anymore ... but they can sell it for CNY ... but where they want to exchange that massive amounts of CNY for BTC in future if exchanges will be not allowed to take bank transfers? What the ... mess

What the ... mess I would wait for an official statement before panicking. So far bitcoin is completely legal to use at your own risk in china. Only financial institutions are banned from dealing directly in bitcoins. So far the news about banning exchanges is simply a rumor and I don't expect it to become more than that.

Haha, well OF COURSE it wouldn't hit 2.5 until well after Gen3 rolls out... I see no problem if it takes a few years for AM shares to hit 2.5 btc/share ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

What the ... mess principally, the franchise business model would completely bypass the regulation, since there is no purchase involved. It's more or less a hosting agreement which never involves any cash flow (since bitcoin is not considered currency).

He has not responded to me in PM, I have several transfers that have not gone through for several weeks now. I don't know whats going on. I corresponded with him by e-mail last week to clear up an AM share transfer. Everything worked out just fine... sorry to hear you are having trouble though.

Importing legally might prove not so easy. Elaborate please. Not sure what you're referring to with "importing legally".
