Update
1. Due to the relatively lower interest from individual miners as well as OEM producers, the self mining has re-started from middle of July. We had gain access of cheap electricity and high power capacity. We hope to regain the average hashrate percentage similar to 2013 with this generation of chips.
Why aren't bitcoins from one month mining distributed to the shareholders? And why isn't AM hashrate or mining address public ? ? ? And what about that promised interview ?  ffs... Poor guy you are. That bag must be heavy by now. May I suggest you lighten it? I could use some more shares at the current rate. |

why not AM build a public hashrate pool? The affiliates can join this pool, then the pool will be big enough to attract outsiders. Our dividends will include the fees, at least AM's affiliates don't need to pay the fee to other pools.

We are now at 200 Petahash for the Bitcoin network, and it is still growing as we speak. There is a good chance FriedCat has something to do with this, I would be patient over the rest of August as this story unfolds. If the price of Bitcoin stays in the $500-$600 USD range, rising difficulty and dropping BTC price will push many of AM's competition into a situation where they either mine at a loss and wait for the price to ramp up, or turn off their miners.
In the approaching environment, whomever can deploy hashrate onto the network at the cheapest cost per GH is going to make bank. AM may well flood the network with cheap to run Gen3 chips and put the hurting on the competition. This is in-line with ASIC MINER's stated goal for the remainder of 2014, so we could see some fireworks soon (along with a lot of upset miners).

Yep, they should. Even with a pool fee for outsiders of something small like 0.1%, this would begin to offset electrical costs for hosting the servers, etc and of the overall operation. And its a much smaller fee than most pools, so I'm sure you'd start to see some pull-back from other pools as people switched. It would also make the AM pool larger, decreasing the variance between blocks (and therefore should add value to the share price in this manner). |

Let's just hope that fireworks are beautiful and not explosions of terror. |

I created a poll recently about what method people would prefer AM to use for mining.The results are currently as follows: P2P = 36.4% Solo-mining = 34.5% Own pool = 29.1% Already established pool = 0% |

What's AM's power cost? Is it significantly better than the competition? |

From the Hardware thread: 1. The miner can not directly run with f2pool. If you want to mine on f2pool, you need a PC or a raspberry PI
with a mining proxy. The ethernet controller needs to be pointed to the proxy instead of the pool.
2. We now offer the shipping of fully assembled devices. If you need them to be shipped as a whole please specify
in your order. We still prefer separate shipping though, because it will reduce the potential shipping damage significantly.
3. The ethernet controller needs a 12V 1A DC input. You could either use a separate AC/DC for it, or wire one
directly from your PSU for the hashing boards.
4. Shipping to countries outside mainland China is free.

Something is lacking somewhere. There is equipment in hand yet the hardware thread is dead and other companies have pre-orders filled for miles.

I think people are reluctant to buy miners when the hashrate keeps flying up |

It'd be nice to see what could be done chasing efficiency with the BE200 instead of max HR. I think the lack of first hand English information on Asicminer is to blame, I mean... most all the information you can find on the company is in this thread... for most people that looks shady as fuck. Sure most people in the know consider AM the best mining company in existence in terms of how they have conducted themselves relative to competition... but the PR game is only now being addressed. Another issue for me at least was that FC wants to sell lots of units, I am still debating on buying one right now from Canary... or waiting till the difficulty goes up and people are dumping them. I mostly want one just to sit on my desk because they look sexy as fuck! |

I dont get it, the website is a total mess. How can you offer miners worldwide without a proper version in both chinese and english (+ with some sort of basic 'basket' payement system!)?
Wtf do they only sell via PMs and emails?!

So I received mine today & finished assembling them. When powered on I can get it to identify all 4 boards. However only 1 or 2 will mine. The board that mines isn't always #1. It seems to be random (after mining for approx 10 minutes Asics on the good board start to go bad). The dip switches are done correctly. How they are powered isn't the issue. Originally was using a 1200w psu. Added another 850 with each board having 2 pci-e. Didn't make a difference. Have also used different controllers.
Any ideas or something that I am missing? Have tried 3 of 10 with same results so far
This is the first one I've now heard of out in the wild. Glad to see a short time between paying and having the miner in hand. Seems like this customer is experiencing a problem though. |

their "english" site is not cutting it that would be neat if they had a cart system that was easy to use on there though or at least if another reseller set one up |
