ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[neilol-real]

More selling on Havelock... *sigh* why do I feel like someone knows something I don't... based on what is publicly known, it would seem like a terrible time to sell right now.

On very low volume

terrible time to sell

=good time to buy

Seriously, I think the final consumption will be a bit lower and it's good enough. In this case are more important the time and the size of batches.

I doubt it's inside knowledge. People are afraid due to the increased consumption news rumours, while friedcat remains silent. There may be a problem, or everything is totally fine.

The actual power consumption was never going to be as low as the simulated results, it never is. It's still one hell of an efficient chip though, especially considering that it's 40nm and it's beating its 28nm competition. The chip's working fine.

I think the winning strategy at this point is to get the largest batch of chips made that is humanly possible and then move sky and earth to get the supply chain logistics worked out for all of the parts needed to build miners. It seems like every company out there is 100% selling out on PREORDERS, let alone actual miners.

Yes, but this is Friedcat, and he's acting very slow in every aspect    ...meanwhile the competition is very aggressive

The story has been the dividend and to rebuild the revenue stream to pay that dividend takes time. The way to benefit from that dividend is in retaining stock and do so for a lengthy period of time. All ASIC makers face the same challenges as AM did so looking-glass numbers are irrelevant to actual data. Efficiency is not limited to a measurement of power it's cost/GHash of the whole system end to end for the lifespan of the product and from that perspective I remain optimistic that this product remains competitive. One would also believe AM to have a leg up on the mining piece in having existing data centers that can be reutilized. What the stock price does in the short term is somewhat irrelevant if you're in for the dividend to find the value in holding it.

I would like to ask him what's his end game.
Is he gonna attempt to accomplish 20%+ of the hashing power as once promised or is he switching the objectives, abandoning self-mining altogether and becoming purely a manufacturer?

Was that you at 15:25?

I was really excited in November with a tapeout date of January 20th...  Hopefully this week he gives us some good news to chew on..

I don't think that's Asicminer.  The title of the video is Intel, 3M, and Silicon Graphics to jointly develop a new generation of supercomputer cooling technology.

Same here. Also "everything is still on track MASS delivery in March" is mid-April and ... nothing. Silence. No divs. No PR.

While they did mention Intel, those are shots of the AM data center.

Check out these stills that were released in November.

Correct me if I'm wrong but those are the same places.

Yeah, those stills look very similar... :/

The whole immersion cooling issue is a question I have been asking for months... the first whispers of the whole thing coming together were released my Asicminer, then you see videos by Allied Control coming out about it, then 3m videos about it.  I REALLY want to know what, if any part, asicminer owns as this technology is going to be HUGE in the bitcoin world.  If my ownership of Asicminer is not going to see me profit off of the technology, I am going to need to look into where to invest to capture those profits... anyone can make an asic, but very few people can set up a cooling system like that (patents, technology, etc).

Here are more pictures for comparison: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=346134.0

The Intel brand was probably used for "credibility's sake", should 3M decide to market this to non-BTC Mining data centers. Granted this is all speculation so we'll just have to wait and see.

Is this the competition?
