and they are seeking to acquire other bitcoin mining companies , maybe shareholders here can cross fingers for a buyout
I don't think BitFury can afford .2 BTC per share. They could afford BFL.

See here: http://www.sec.gov/News/PressRelease/Detail/PressRelease/1370541972520#.U44_ImeKDmgBitfury used Picostocks/100 TH/s as a cover to get funding on their chip production. The difference here is while AM IPO investors got their money back, there are still LOTS of IPO investors screwed over from their 100 TH/s IPO. Will the VC's still stick around if the SEC starts digging and finds something rotten beneath the covers? Heck, the SEC is even offering potential 10-30% reward of any reported scams over $1,000,000....

Bitfury's goal is to work towards going public on US stock markets but maybe you can send a tip off for a nice payday and everything will be cancelled?

Bitfury's goal is to work towards going public on US stock markets but maybe you can send a tip off for a nice payday and everything will be cancelled? Well I don't care but the 100 TH/s IPO investors would. Their money was used on chip production and they even haven't received the mine that they were entitled to (as listed in the IPO contract, which was supposed to be mining by July 2013). And now Bitfury, who took their money, now receives $20 million and they're left with jack? I'm sure that will go over well on the "public US stock markets." VC's don't like any surprises... Why would I send in a tip? That would be cheating But if you found out that someone scammed money from you and they were able to turn that money into $20 million for a "$250 million company" and you could prove it a court of law (they're a U.S. based company btw), would you really just walk away?

Let's check out a few things, shall we? 100 TH/s IPO shares - 518271 @ .04 BTC/share = 20730.84 BTC collected "IPO Business Plan" - Claims to start mining by July '13 -> Actually doesn't start mining until Sept '13 because of "delays" Meanwhile, Buzzdave is pimping Bitfury sales hard in the Mining hardware subforum here on July 7th 2013. As we all know, Bitfury dumps TH/s onto the network last fall. Meanwhile, IPO investors are getting daily div payments of 0.00001512 since Sept '13. It might take awhile to hit 0.04, huh? That's about 7 years if the difficulty doesn't change (LOL!). Yep, I'd be a happy investor too. I OBVIOUSLY WOULDN'T TAKE ANY LEGAL RECOURSE AGAINST THEM EITHER, RIGHT ANOTHERANONLOL?! Mining companies that take money but fail to produce something is one thing, but a mining company that takes money from you, becomes successful, and then SCREWS the investors that made it possible...? Yep, I think they would still be happy and not say a word. I mean, what's 10-30% of the collected fines from "$250 million dollar company" right? It's all sunshine and rainbows for Bitfury...

OT: FYI, the 100TH mine paid back dividends totaling the 0.04 BTC/share on Dec 27th 2013 ( https://picostocks.com/docs/index/19). Note: it was the 100TH mine not 500TH mine...Tytus did not have to provide 5X the original promised hash rate but did. Initial investors were not shafted....now if you bought during the crazy spikes that's a different story. Back on topic. The fact that BF has raised $20M indicates they are going to aggressively expand. AM's growth is limited by how much money it is willing to spend vs payout in divs. If we want divs, then we have to give up growth...conversely, if we want growth we have to give up divs (and/or get outside funding). EDIT: fixed repetitive sentence

agreed. if divs are hurting the company we should be able to hang tight without dumping shares the next day. most companies don't pay divs often. but also let's get some cash flowing through, it's not the dividends that are hurting us, it's the huge waits.. january 20th was supposed to be tapeout and it was overdue back then. I hope AM can really pump out the chips, completely flood the market. do that all year and pay us at christmas time, that I'd like to see.

"I had your dividends, but I spent them." is as much as I can decipher so far, from this particular debacle.

Mate, you sound, act, behave like a Wall St analyst. In bitcoin, there is no regulation. All you have is a man's reputation. I honestly can't see anyone here refund a $200k transaction fee.
