ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[minerpumpkin]

a "large sell" is actually a "large buy" if you look at it the other way around

Not the same feeling if the price is going down!

[necro_nemesis]

Fine an opportunity to average down. I don't know where this expectation of AM showing a profit so soon is coming from. Look at those test rigs. They're built for a single asic. Not commercially viable. Did anyone think that testing BE200 performance was a collaborative effort with Rockminer? Possibly and quite likely this is the stage the ASIC is at for testing.

Propably they got some fake parts. They look exactly as the normal ones but they don't work like the original ones.

Which is kind of ridiculous... Those parts are very cheap anyways and... well.. why?

Getting fakeparts is not difficult even in the AirForce One were some fakeparts. Why they sell fakeparts? I don't know.

It is cheaper to make something that looks like it is suppose to do something correctly than to make it actually do something correctly.  Short answer: money

Not serious.

It's been a bit quiet in here lately.

Is everyone fed up, or is everyone sitting on the edge of their seat waiting for performance numbers?

Canary, how are the tests with your sample chips going?  Just looked through your post history and did not see much.  In fact... what are you doing with chips at all?  You were a very successful re-seller... are you getting into board manufacturing?  Or are you thinking of somehow trying to re-sell chips... I know several people got samples, but I only have a window into what rockminer is doing.

Waiting on rockxie results here once the problem is solved as minerpumpkin pointed out last page

are rockxie and canary the only buyers we know as for now? those are test chips right? do we know the size of the first batch, if it has been sold yet?

Ha, I believe he put them on a shelf and enjoys looking at them once in a while. I fear, he isn't able to test them. But he could very well sell them to smaller customers who intend to build their own boards, since AM is releasing the specs. And there have been groupbuys with several thousands of Avalon chips last year!

From "public clients" we also know about Wasp ... but ... we don't know about others, we don't know about size of "test" batch, we don't know about size of next batch, we don't know if this test batch was sold or give away for free, we don't know about performance, we don't know on what is ASICminer working now, we don't know if there was board-meeting about recent !huge! concerns, and also we don't know why this week dividend wasn't distributed. This is AM great PR.  

Seems like Jutarul is only one from board who cares about PR and shareholders. Others doesn't give a shit about us. Sad.

arf thx bud.
i feared i missed something but i guess not.
keeping the faith tho

edit: i guess it could be some smart stealth approach for not letting the competition to be fully aware of your progress. So when you strike, its too late ^^

The ALC fund on Havelock is very distracting. Every time I look for AM's price, I'm shocked by a price of 0.14 BTC, only to find out that spot is now being occupied by ALC... phew!

[hlynur]

Just read the news with neo & bee and brewster.
Do you guys think this could also bring collateral damage to havelock as a platform? (in form of more attention by authorities because of legal issues)

Don't want to paint things too black but since the bitfunder-case last year i got quite cautious with these exchanges.

We need to make sure Havelock keeps on providing lists of the current shareholders to AM in case of some kind of breakdown/closure/freeze

yea...i really liked the proposal of binding accounts to wallet addresses recently.
not sure what has become of it, but it seemed like the best way to prevent any chaos in case of a shutdown.

Well havelock posted in the other thread that they only allow companies whose shares they control to list on the exchange so that case should not happen again

Replacement for NEOBEE[Q] and COG?
I agree.

For the record. Havelock Investments never offered NEOBEE or COG.
NEOBEE was a pass-through Fund.
COG was listed elsewhere and their shareholders requested to be listed on our exchange.
We no longer offer pass-thorough Funds unless the direct shares are managed directly by us as we do with the ASICMiner Fund.

Cheers!

[minerpumpkin]

Yeah well, this wouldn't help if Havelock goes missing, for whatever reason. We should encourage them to keep ASICMINER updated with a current list of shareholder's email addresses and preferably Bitcoin addresses.
