How long is it taking lately to process share transfers?
I am waiting 3rd week (request by mail), but i sent PM request via bitcointalk only last week ... so i'll be wiser on Wednesday. I'll let you know in PM then. |

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I sent a transfer request by email on 4th Jan and it was processed by friedcat on the 8th. Make sure you include a signature using the address the shares are assigned to. Maybe requests are just silently ignored otherwise. |

No outside party trying to help with PR will get any further than I did. The communication breakdown is on AM's end.
Assuming there is any news to report...

I'd guess he responds to PMs. They need to receive test samples and verify the tape out went successful. Wait until we get news after the board meeting takes place. |

When does the board meeting take place? And does it take place on a regular schedule? |

Will there be (/was there) a board meeting this week? Jutarul mentioned one possibly being held before January is over. You'd be involved as well? |

This is all we know (kudos to Jutarul): You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Improvements have been continually suggested by the board. There seems to be something internal preventing any improvements to PR or related aspects. So far the board has been very lenient with that. The way things are progressing there will likely have to be an investor forced audit at some point in time ...
There has been a request for a board meeting a few days ago - I expect friedcat to be busy right now and be available for a meeting before 30-Jan-14 (but don't hold me liable for that date).
Does TAT know more/can confirm? |

Does TAT know more/can confirm? Thanks. Looks to me like jutarul pulled that number out of thin air but he does know better than any of us non-board members. Either way I think if enough people bug FC he will give us an update even if it doesn't include any real progress. |

It's not pulled out of thin air, it's another deadline which FC committed to (actually it's 31-Jan), so I expect some update coming from him around that date. Otherwise the board obviously has to inquire about the delay (and do something about it). |

Be it just a heads up on the progress and the next vague steps/milestones. Which makes me wonder, what kind of leverage does the board have? How could they influence the direction AM is going? Is there any distributed power (i.e. multiple signatures for wallets, etc...)? |

We are largely an advisory board, and as I've said several times in the past, you all vastly overestimate the amount of info that is exclusive to the board.
There has never been a board meeting that I can recall that resulted in any notable buying or selling of shares.
Things just aren't as sexy or dramatic as some would like to believe, sorry.

Major milestones have been out there for a while - I know things develop fast in bitcoin world and information which is about 2 months old feels ancient - but it's not when you look at it from a development cycle point of view... Which makes me wonder, what kind of leverage does the board have? How could they influence the direction AM is going? Is there any distributed power (i.e. multiple signatures for wallets, etc...)?
All executive decisions are with friedcat and his team, and as such the board has only advisory capacity. The leverage is "accountability" in a general sense, and the most prominent benchmark is dividend payments. Of course there is the need for further benchmarks. No measures have been taken to distribute power across the shareholder base. |

Do the board-members have any share of the income of BITMAIN? Is there any relation? Not imputing anything but just would like to see some statement on this..! I doubt that the board-members only have an advisory capacity. What's the point then? Board-members should have full voting rights for any major decisions... |

Alright. Thanks to both of you for helping to put things in focus a bit more! I'll keep my eyes open for news then. And, again, please advise FC to release at least a short heads up and maybe tentative timeframes for the upcoming milestones (chip production, deployment,...) |

What's the point in voting if the board members together own less than 50% of shares? Friedcat and his team control majority of shares and votes and can do whatever they want with the company. |
