I'm going to say this again.
We can purchase many advertising spots throughout the forum if we pool BTC together. We can help the company, it is what we invested in after all. Why not try to help it as much as possible? How many shareholders are there? If everyone pooled 0.01 BTC we would have more than enough to buy out all add space on the forum. I was really hoping to get the ball rolling by purchasing dogie's add slot. Does anybody agree with this or am I crazy?
I have no problem with you purchasing advertising spots for AM (as a shareholder I even encourage you to do so), but in my opinion it's not really our job, it's the companies'. |

Most importantly, it can only be used to mine on one pool,
Which pool(s) must it be used to mine on? Wouldn't this be an indication that the self-mining is proceeding with these pools? Is this limitation because of the hardware, the controller, or ...? |

You're crazy. AM has already purchased ads with dogie as well as the bitcointalk.org forum and the signature space of 30 bitcointalk.org users. |

Really all they need to do is get a half way decent website going to take orders...everyone knows who AM is at this point. I see tons of signatures and random ads here already, but lack a simple way to buy gear.

I think (hope FC) the reason AM is not so focused in distribution is because they are busy plugging in the self operations. Sales would not represent a major income stream anymore (were they anyway before?). |

That rational just does not suffice. If enough share holders get together we could buy out all add space with only 0.01 BTC from each person. I don't see where the opposition to this is stemming from. With the start of round two it is a perfect time market aggressively. Miners are being sold fully assembled and competition is initiating the sale of preorders (SP-tech). You must ask yourself, what is the opportunity cost of not doing this? Given enough people participate, each share holder puts 0.01 BTC into a trusted member's escrow. The result: 1) Greater visibility. - More products sold will directly affect your dividend. 2) If competitors are to have add space they must now pay much more since we can greatly outbid as a whole with minimal addition to each person's contribution. This increases overhead and I'm sure you can put it together from there. 3) A crowd funded marketing campaign relieves AM from paying which means less overhead. It's effectively a wash since the cost would come out of your dividends regardless. There is power in numbers and we can use that to our advantage. Can you please counter this? |

Do I remember correctly that user 67117 on BTCguild is ASICMINER user ID?
This user is currently mining with 277TH...

Under development Modular UPGRADEABLE Miner (MUM). Looking for investors.
Changing one PCB with screwdriver and you have brand new miner in hand... Plug&Play, scalable from one module to thousands.

Holy cow. jee.  some info to procrastinate: A week after I visited the last bitcoin mine in northeast China, I was able to arrange a trip to a larger, even more secretive operation. Each warehouse (...) around 3,000 square meters (32,000 ft2) each warehouse took fifteen days to construct, and an additional ten days to fill up with hardware and get it all hashing away. That’s four completed warehouses, two under construction, and two more waiting to begin construction. The power bill alone for all of this is more than $1,000,000 USD per month.   please tell me AM is involved somehow.  |
