... 0.09 is just ridiculous. iirc ipo was 0,15, besides lack of info anything below 0.2 still feels like a bargain.
IPO was 0.1 which was fairly close to $1 at the time. Have a look at the dip on SF1 too, happened at the same time and went down by about 90% interesting, my gambling syndrome suddenly awakens... are these extensions of the current bullrun or what's going on? btc investments always seemed like a logical hedge during bear phases, though the neobee disaster deterred me to dive further into that area.

I still can't believe I missed that 0.09 train. Will it ever get that low again or have we seen the new floor now? Spewing I couldn't liquidate other assets quick enough. FCs info to come I'm sure will have everyone that sold out that low feeling like the biggest fools.
Whaa?? .09? when did that happen? Goat said he caught .13, but the lowest I saw was .17, And I was quite pleased with that, at the time havelock chart says low of 0.11 on friday ( https://www.havelockinvestments.com/fund.php?symbol=AM1) I was actively trading during the lightning storm sell-off and I could have sworn I saw 0.09 sold. Only 1 share however as soon as I saw that recent trade I did a head shake. 0.09 is just ridiculous. iirc ipo was 0.15, besides lack of info anything below 0.2 still feels like a bargain. How is 80,000 BTC for the whole company a bargain? Either in fiat or BTC.

Only thing that matters is profits.

What are you talking about? Chips are sold at around $0.5/gh and cost around $0.2/gh. If they sold at a loss how would they have $9,000,000 in assets?

How is 80,000 BTC for the whole company a bargain? Either in fiat or BTC. 0.2btc -> 52 mio $ (@650$/btc) company value...huh on second thought, ok let's say 0.15. depends from what side you look at it. besides the current lack of info the cat is literally sitting at the source of the cheapest chips in the whole industry in combo with concepts for mining containers (first full feature makrogame approach i've seen so far in btcland) if the schedule for the datacenter rollout is on track this could spit out some nice divs in combo with the profits of chipsales . (...perhaps 30-50% return this year depending on gen4?) i still miss signs for more agressive expansion of their mining operation though. atm i'm just hanging in there waiting for updates, please read speculation thread for my perspective. no intention to awaken the sockpuppets in here.

If they sold at a loss how would they have $9,000,000 in assets? +1 in the meantime it should seep through that fc invested all profits in next batch, which makes sense. question is if deployment of excess chips for mining operation will make any difference in the end after the network explodes. so far selling chips is still more profitable than mining with them, right?

hard to say, guess profit trends would cross due to capacity matters.

(or at least everybody's hoping for it ) whole situation is really hard to estimate and boggles my mind to the point where my gut tells me nothing's wrong with good ol' holding and some small trading by the side.

Bit too late for this but in regards to solo mining wouldn't it be a good idea to see some sort of stats page showing hashrate, blocks found etc instead of checking the address for new deposits every so often? Just a thought.

when i last checked it was http://erpao.info/no clue if we have a new one...anyone? edit: http://www.asicminercharts.com/(either i'm too drunk or that page looks out of date) edit II : Live hashrate meter has been removed because of unknown hashrate. The meter will be added again when Gen3 starts hashing.

And distributors sell miners at well over 1$/GH which means that FC isn't maximizing profits for his shareholders. The distributors seem to do a much better job on that.

Didn't really want to hear that. But if that's the case, FC should explain.

Distributes have to manage distribution... and support. I imagine after dealing with support a few times friedcat quickly decided to cut it out and that it was worth forwarding those profits to cut off that management overhead.

I think FC can supply chips on "as is" basis. Moreover, he is selling chips not functioning miners.

How did you extrapolate that? I think you are imagining FC could have sold the same amount of chips at $1+/gh which is not realistic. $4,000,000 in chip sales suggests FC knows what hes doing. And distributors aren't fleecing anyone. For example hashratios production costs are $0.8/gh and sold for $1/gh. Extremely small margins. Even at the average price of AM hardware at $1.4/gh the margins are not huge. Certainly nowhere near the profit per gh on overpriced hardware like spondoolies but exorbitant prices does not equal maximizing profit.

Sometimes having your hands in too many pies at the same time can work against you. Friedcat chose to develop and produce and sell chips only for a good reason I'm sure, that and running a 3PH solo mining farm alone would be alot of work, so to eliminate the extra effort and trouble that arises from producing entire miners for the public I believe he's made the right move. Let others worry about marketing and outlaying all these extra associated costs with ongoing tech support, sales etc and lets focus on the bigger picture here
