ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[bitsalame]

Vavilov told CoinDesk that it decided not to tap its bitcoin reserves as it remains bullish on the long-term value of bitcoin.

I read it like "we are burning cash like crazy, and we don't want to unload bitcoins to pay the utility bill because that would bankrupt us. We had no choice but to beg our investors to pour more money, because otherwise they would be royally fucked as well if they didn't reinvest in us. We pray for an increase in BTC prices, because otherwise we are royally fucked. The 100MW plant is a bluff, but it may not be a total lie if BTC prices goes to the moon. Until then, we are burning more cash... Fingers crossed"

You don't ask for even more investment money unless you have already spent what you had and now are pretty much broke.

from your link:
BitFury further indicated it would use the funds to increase the capacity of its data centers to 100 megawatts

100MW. Thats ~125PH with todays tech and if he achieves his 0.2J/GH goal later this year, thats 500 PH. Or 1EH next year if he does get it down to 0.1JGH

Remember who else was planning to unleash a 100MW franchised+solomining operation on the network over the summer?  

megabigpower (lqtm because, well...obviously not).

100MW is a huge amount of power.  About 1/100 the size of a coal powerplant.

More like one entire powerplant.

Thats nonsense.  In one of my previous startups we would regularly issue shares to VCs even though we had more money in the bank than we knew what to do with. There are countless reasons to get investor funds, not in the least if investors are willing to pay more for a share of the business than you think its worth. Or if you want cash up front and off load (part of) the risk.

OK, so maybe they want to off load some risk or find some suckers who will pay more than it's worth. Pure nonsense

Isnt that the essence of AM's business model (and that of every other asic vendor) ?

No, it's yours and Bitfury's. AM is still operating on the profits they earned from the capital they raised from IPO and have already paid shareholders 6x what they invested.  That's the difference.

Yes, there's plenty of plants around 100MW.

So when do all the datatanks get plugged into AM's personal 100 - 10000MW power plant?

Have you heard Friedcat asking for an additional round of  investments?
We only heard about the year of the exahash from him. And no additional funding was needed for that.

Gosh, 10GW is an obscenity.
That is like 8 trips to the future.

Reread the above, and see where it says "investors".
Selling mining equipment to end users t is just another way to offload risk to suckers who generally want to pay more than its worth.

This was in the past. How is the present and the future for AM?

Had an email stating my transfer of direct shares to havelock is complete. However if I log into Havelock, I can't see any of the shares. Has anyone else had this problem?
