ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[lunarboy]

To save scanning pages of this thread. Can anyone tell me about the tape out for Gen 4? It's been announced, but has a date been mentioned?

thanks

Also, once mining numbers are released, can we get a count on the total number of BTC produced by AM, and (though highly unlikely more than an estimate) BTC produced by AM-built hardware?  These numbers are easy for both investors and customers to understand, and it shouldn't take more than a day to come up with those numbers.

This address maybe AM's mining address, because BTC in the address have been transfered to 17EA1UT5amSvasuhzUDPs1pLgxdrbRYLAX which
has relation with the sale address.

No dates so far. But everything on schedule according to board member.

For AM's Gen3 tape-out happened around mid to late January 2014. Testing was done on March 28th/29th. So that was approx. 8-9 weeks from tape-out (which is very quick). I am not an expert in this field but others stated that this normally takes a minimum of 3 months.

EDIT: To avoid any misunderstandings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape-out

I think you should also mention when was the first miner running and when sales started (which was ~2 months after the first chip demo)

No official announcement regarding the date, other than that it's going to happen before the end of the year.
We know that board members know the date, but they don't want to make it public.
There is a rumor that tape-out will happen in less than a week.

Who doesn't love, a good positive rumour 



Generally appreciating the high level of conversation recently.

Pleasant change

Yes!  Everyone loves a good spat - but it gets old and boring after a bit.
Loving it.

edit: and it does have some similarity with the one feifa mentioned: https://blockchain.info/address/1H7FpBV8huVmPvt5eRzszAkgnERH2FaWvq (10BTC transactions)

Not just the amount. Both addresses have been receiving 10BTC transactions from BTC Guild.

Could we see the divs next week?

10 BTC for every 7 blocks - my math says that's almost 12PH. Good!

10 BTC per hour is  13 PH.

Both addresses received 10BTC again.

Followed a trace from 1H7FpBV8huVmPvt5eRzszAkgnERH2FaWvq ending on 04/09 in 13p5iQkqBEVgKmPeJqEL2LBRS44PjX1dZL, which currently has a balance of 2,950 BTC (1M €). Of course, that doesn't mean anything :-p

Hey addresses hyped people, Any address of these claimed to be the "safe" or "dividends" address by ASICMINER? Because even if it was a "sales" address. It could be just a customer.

I am not hating it is just feel like another push the price up for a seconds scheme.

[ensurance982]

Huh, highly interesting! I believe they could be mining on one address for company expenses or running costs, and the other address (our 'regular' dividends address) is meant for a direct payout to shareholders! Wow..... wow!

[dmcdad]

Given how thin the order book is on Havelock, this seems unlikely. That is, given the cost (50BTC at the moment) the price on Havelock would have to increase significantly more (or the order book is going to have to become much more dense) for it to be a profitable manipulation.

Nope, that's why I said "that doesn't mean anything" :-). If anybody thinks he/she should buy more shares based on my 'investigation', he/she is [polite-mode]not the brightest person[/polite-mode]...

[ensurance982]

And another one, perfectly on time... Huh, interesting. And still people are using the opportunity to sell shares on Havelock. We'll see who will be the one who profits from their trades this time. It could really be the one...
