ASICMINER: Entering the Future of ASIC Mining by Inventing It

[Franktank]

We(RockMiner) are just a large buyer to ASICMINER, and will/can not benefit by an indirect discount via my "board member" identity like I cooperated with ASICMINER before.We will purchase chips with the same price as other large buyers. Of course I am not saint, I hope we can buy chips with cheaper price, but you known FC is upright like Germanic people, there is no way to do this. We trust FC since 2012 and I think he deserves our trust in future. As I known he is doing his best as he can for ASICMINER, and contributed all his time for this project, he did not even have time to go home during the Chinese New Year holidays, do you really think FC will hurt ASICMINER shareholders?

ASICMINER will rise up,and RockMiner will rock you.

Thanks.

Awesome and much needed post - would like confirm from the FC however.

I'm curious if friedcat suggested that he post this, so it shows that BitFountain/AM will not be biased to any large scale buyer...

All this speculation, my goodness. Have a little faith people, FC has never done us any wrong so far. AM remains probably the most trusted investments in the bitcoin world

If you read his post backwards you will see Friedcats real name and GPS location, along with future share prices...

I'm holding.

@rockxie. From an upright or uptight Germanic person's perspective the posts are fine and can be understood within the context they are written without the need for an interpreter. Please do not hesitate to post information. If there is any need for clarification we will ask. This is not an interrogation. I applaud your efforts to keep us informed.

What do you guys guess per share dividends will total over the next year?

[jimmothy]

What do you guys guess per share dividends will total over the next year?

400,000 btc at least.

1btc/share

My simple calculation result is around 0.5 btc.

[sharky101]

Would have thought we would have some performance results out by now...

[minerpumpkin]

What do you guys guess per share dividends will total over the next year?

0.3 BTC. Don't hold me accountable in any way, though...

any support for you conclusion?

Dying to get more information! Especially regarding power consumption!

[glendall]

Wow, the buns are finally out of the oven, awesome.

So is it fair to suggest mass chip shipments would be about 40 days from now or somewhere around that?

[freedomno1]

Rockxie has also recieved sample chips

Yeah! I'd guess fc ordered the batch on April 1st, after the initial tests were positive. I assume a batch takes 5 weeks (wild guesstimate), this would leave us at May 6th.

External tests on the gen 3 chips, done by the Wasp project's engineers, confirmed the power consumption of the chips to be at 0.33W per GH/s, which is en par with the initially advertised specifications.

These are just the specs, not tested yet.

Looking forward to the first empirical results!

If they were a POS that information would get out or even be intentionally leaked out before the samples went out. IMHO no one is going to go through the process of sending out chips just to be ridiculed that they are way off spec upon testing. Maybe if they over perform they might look at the dramatic effect of independent performance measurements coming back from the testers. At any rate I would think they are going operate close to design and not under perform by any significant margin given the circumstances and the way this is unfolding.

See the positive side: practical specs could be even better! 

I'm surprised there was nothing announced yet... Pretty sure precise numbers are known by now.
