ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[KarmaShark]

Yeah, I also believe that we really are working in a thin-margins business these days, but if they manage to run a decent operation, the upsides should justify a share-price of more than 0.1 BTC!
But friedcat, if you should read this: Please employ some people who are experts in customer-relations. Maybe also in the US or someplace other than China. Don't forget the international market. Also: Self-mine! Don't rely on selling the chips (again). Find even cheaper electricity now!

How did you come at this number, it is over 10 X the current price. I don't think it will ever happen.

If you are referring to FUR11's comment then I think 0.1BTC/share is a given as it was trading at that level two days ago and has been for over a month now. You may have read that as 1BTC/share, which would indeed be over 10x the last traded AM1 share. Should Gen4 do well I believe we could see that level and higher depending on how much income is coming in and what else the company has accomplished (DataTank, new partnerships, Gen5 plans, etc).

The share price was sitting at 0.5BTC/share in anticipation of Gen3 dividends this spring. I would not be surprised to see a nice run-up in share price come mid-late December upon confirmation of successful Gen4 chip testing. If the market believes Gen4 will be successful, holding shares will be a hot commodity once more. I also believe that the market will except a lower dividend / APR as there are few legitimate options out there for investment in the Bitcoin securities world right now.

have the chocolate teapot award, you deserve it.

I dunno what the "chocolate teapot award" is, but it sounds filthy and I'm sure RoadStress deserves it.

The only problem is that he probably enjoys chocolate teapots...

It's safe to Google '         But apparently, now a chocolate teapot is actually MORE useful than RoadStress...

I remembered that and now I want to stick it into all shareholders face because it was a stupid argument.
the profits they earned from the capital they raised from IPO and have already paid shareholders 6x what they invested.  That's the difference.

Just quote this when road stress turns up, it really shows his maturity and age. personally i do not trust this prepubescent rodent and his behavior.

It was posted for gen1 chips: http://www.asicminercharts.com/live/

That was an unofficial site created by SmiGueL.

And he was getting the information from the newspaper? There was some kind of official information about the hashrate because otherwise how could he create the site? I am sure he wasn't making up the hashrate posted there.

SmiGueL was only following the number of blocks found per day and new bitcoins received on AM mining address (1HtUGfbDcMzTeHWx2Dbgnhc6kYnj1Hp24i)

So that means that AM published their mining address. So there was some kind of official info. SmiGueL didn't came up with the information out of thin air. There is no official mining address right now. Nobody knows in what address is AM mining right now.

I have stated in the past that FC found out a method to get money out of the company without paying the shareholders (hint: rockxie mining), but you bashed me back then. I am glad to see you coming back to earth.

I "bashed" you back then for good reason. Talking complete bollocks. Which you are doing again. There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that AM have been funnelling money out the back door. What I said was that their management, sales, support and PR are crap, not that AM is corrupt.

What you are claiming is that supplying a customer with the product you sell is corruption. The stupidity that comes out of your mouth is truly amazing.

You got it wrong as always. I never stated that AM are funneling money of of the back door. They found a way to funnel money in plain sight. Let me put it another way:

AM sold chips to Rockxie who assembled miners and sold them. The profit from the miners went to Rockxie, not to AM. AM only got money for the chips. But AM could skip Rockxie and create their own miners and this way they could take profits from both chips and full miners. AM was able to create and distribute full miners in the past and I don't understand why now they had to use Rockxie. The profit made by Rockxie stayed with Rockxie, not with AM. Of course AM made a small profit with the chips, but I think that profit is smaller than the profit from the full miners. By creating their own miners AM could cash in more profit in my view. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

they sold batches of chips before getting newer batches with a different mask if i remember correctly, something to do with better efficiency? which i would presume what we are seeing with the  prisma.

Why sell the chips when you can build miners?

[elasticband]

to offload some work load and some ships that would potentially be redundant in a month or so due to future power reductions..... 

[RoadStress]

to offload some work load and some ships that would potentially be redundant in a month or so due to future power reductions..... 

What work load? The only workload is to design, assemble and ship miners. Nothing extra compared to 2013 when AM was designing, assembling and shipping miners.

[jdany]

I tend to agree.  This has all of the hallmarks of massive under staffing.
I think 2014, they were hoping to just manuf, sell chips because there is so much overhead in the device manufacturing.

It seems they are getting things done, but not as quickly as this market demands it.

The load in selling miners is considerably higher than selling chips, as miners are often sold in small numbers while chips are sold in large batches. Hence you have a larger number of payments, shipments, etc to track when selling miners. Not to speak of communication and support...

when are we going to see some financial statements? AM seems to be busy busy but where is the money going? solomining? all sold to private investors as Datatank? what is going on? is AM just a shadow? are all profits being syphoned into umbrella companies?

I want FC to address this BS, not one of his minions to come on here and simply deny. That has been the course for over a year and things are just sliding further down. dont talk to me about LONG range goals and long games... we get no info, no divs and tanking share value. What part of this equation is ok? answer=none of it!

Its a mystery what is going on with FC and AM.

In agreement, its pretty damn dark here without any news of what is going on
Haven't seen a financial in a long time either so a lot of clarification is due.
Until then as you mentioned still a mystery.

+1. I'm personally waiting for more clarification by the board members/team etc. I still believe in the long term viability of ASICMiner, it's just that the lack of information is really depressing.

[gogxmagog]

well, the real problem for me is; we hear about things like Datatank and that it was completely sold to private buyers months after the fact and the coresponding fact that dividends vanished around the same time. So then, to me, it looks like this; FC sells Datatank to his buddies, puts entire AM operations into immersion cooled mining, send all future profits to buddies, AM shareholders get nothing. Same logic applies to Amhash. Unless the structuring of these side-businesses and thier financial relation to AM, and the complete financials of AM is made public I can only assume we are all being sold down the river.

Come on FC, allay our fears!

oh, nevermind

This is why I got out weeks ago. When the CEO stops communicating, that says everything there is to say. Happens with every scam and spells trouble.

[AMuppInTime]

friedcat - communication is important. When you communicated you could get great valuation, raise funds & do great things. Please get a real PR person and get professional about it.

[luffy]

He is propably too busy with AMhash !

[Puppet]

Yeah, especially since its selling like hotcakes. Nearly one month in, less than 600TH sold. 4.4PH to go...

Not to mention, they'd sell a shitton more product too.
Everyone's always in "figure out AM" mode.

I'm not down for mystery or puzzles anymore.
I need a moneymaker.
