(...) we're speaking about a multi-million company now, not just three guys doing everything from A to Z in their garage! (...)

Does one actually exclude the other?

And does anyone know if there are any employees, or if there are just the three founders? I mean, what they have managed is pretty impressive, and there are good reasons to keep the ship tight and not incur too much overhead if it can be avoided.

Early on FC talked about the challenges of hiring enough trusted staff fast enough to build and staff all of the datacenters they needed.

Based on the ridiculous numbers of boards they have running, it seems they were able to solve their staffing issues.

The delivered status was frozen for what seemed like forever well it is no longer frozen.

yeah, but the backlog is enormous. those units were ordered last June/July.

How can that possibly be competition for products that are ordered this week, shipped this week?

While I agree, there is indeed some crossover. Your average bitcoiner is not only ignorant enough to compare BFL's offering with AM's and choose BFL, despite uncertain shipdates, but they are also ignorant enough to not even know AM blades exist. BFL does better marketing, that is a fact.

Ok. So how would lowering prices two weeks earlier change the fact that the average BFLer doesn't know about AM HW?

You may say that advertising/marketing is the key, however I'll argue that we don't know if AM is not deploying and/or selling all the HW they can produce, so going wholehog on marketing might be a mistake. IE: They might get themselves in a situation where they are either constantly sold out, or building an ever deepening backorder. (Recent divs seem to indicate they are deploying and selling a lot of HW.) The fact they have quick turnarounds is what allows them to charge a premium price.

I'm guessing that as they ramp up production, they will remain competitive with what's available with short delivery cycles. Looking forward to them owning the market when the competition finally does show up. (How many TH will they have shipped and deployed by then?)

Quickly becoming an iconic picture. SmiGuel, you should print some T-shirts with this and we can all wear them at the annual shareholders party.

Very nice, taking a profit of someone else's work Undecided

nah I just mocked that up real quick mostly as a joke, didn't actually order any or anything. Cafepress is just a site where anyone can create a tshirt design. I don't own it, and I'm not selling them.

Still really bitter about selling my shares at 1.3 Sad

....

But that didn't stop me from buyin' back in at 2.45 the other week . Man ASICMiner is just on a tear right now ! Dividend me up

I think most people would not buy back at twice the price they sold, what's your thought process on buying back? I sold 10% of my original holding at 0.9, another 20% at 1.75, and have 70% left, plan to sell another 20% if price reach 3.25, otherwise I will just hold for divs. Bought everything when the PT started, at 0.65

Given that a ratio share price vs yearly dividend of 3 : 1 is considered a bargain in FIAT stock markets, AM is worth between 10 and 15 BTC per share.
It is not about freaking high dividends, but ridiculously low share price. I would buy plenty more if I could. Before the big boys get on the waggon.

This is crazy! .5 BTC per each 35 BTC invested today. The dividend is extreme in this fund. Thats 2 BTC per month it this hold, thats...CRAZY. This is the Rio Tinto of Bitcoin for sure.

Better than Rio Tinto. Nice example though.
