ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[TheJuice]

This company's rating has changed in the relaunched manufacturer trustworthiness thread.

You should give a line if its up or down and why.

Own Chips?
Companies manufacturing their own chips invest significant time and funds up front, and so have more to lose if things go wrong.
   10/10 = Yes - designing and investing in own chips
   8/10   = Mixed - utilises a mix of own and other companies' chips
   5/10   = Promised - designing and investing in own chips but not yet delivered
   1/10   = No - integrates other companies chips

@Dogie, this is an absurd criteria.
And the penalization for using third party chips is unfair.

The long and short of it is that AM is switching from self mining to chip sales.  It is hard to adequately summarize the last... 500 pages of this thread, but this change in AM's model along with holding profits for re-investment is what is likely the cause.  August 2nd should provide us with more answers, I would stay away from speculation and just wait till then for more info.

What happens on August 2nd?

Ah. I see thanks. I'll make a note of this date.

So far I have 0.045 BTC for a 1.24 BTC investment. Not good.

 Actually, your 1.24 BTC investment is bidding at ~0.65 BTC so your return is actually double what you thought as a percentage

Hurray!

The threats were against Yifu (Avalon), not FC. And that was just a stalling tactic by Yifu since he double-sold chips and people were pissed.

Some have seen FC on a very early Skype call, I think. No photos that I know of, but I might be wrong. There is a photo floating around of rockxie (RockMiner) that some people confused with FC but it wasn't really FC.

 This photo is purported to be Sam Cole, BFL_Josh, Friedcat and Yifu.

Are you suggesting that Sonny Vleisides is Friedcat?

  No. You need to look up the work "purported".  I haven't seen an image of Friedcat or Sonny.
Are you suggesting that the purported photo of Friedcat is actually Sonny?

well whoever is 'purpoting' that pic has friedcat in is either trolling or mentally deficient. fc is skinny, wears glasses and shock horror..asian, if you don't beleive phinneus' suggestions you can copy the name into google, just a few seconds later you will have some confirmation . the internet truly is a wonderful thing

 Who the hell is phinneus?  Anyway, I was being facetious.  As for the internet... it sure is isn't it: https://forum.btcsec.com/index.php?/topic/2036-foto-razrabotchikov-asic-mainerov/page-2

 Well, you made me laugh now anyway. 
One would think a simple internet search would turn up all the information we need...  After all it is purported (by AnotherAnonlol) to be a wonderful thing.
