There are people here who want to help, hopefully Friedcat will take them up on their offers.

I trust friedcat. Let the employees set up hard and that fun stuff. For the things that matter, friedcat is a rockstar. I'm not so sure I trust the back up dancers with anything more than doing the backup.

very very good point... someone just needs to take the initiative. Looks like AM/Friedcat have enough to worry about for now... someone can just set an example and away they go. I would jump on this if I had the skills/resources

I would personally pledge 1 btc towards a fund to produce an official storefront / website. We are shareholders after all, no reason we have to put this burden on friedcat.

I propose we setup an address with John K. to serve as a website fund. We then put out a RFP for one of the many bitcoin enthusiast html geeks to produce an official site endorsed by friedcat.

Features it should have:
1) Hosting of the official shareholder list with tools to make managing share purchases easier for freidcat (i'm thinking an existing shareholder could post his auction and the results could (with approval) transfer share ownership)
2) An official storefront for the masses to purchase upcoming ASIC hardware.
3) A Built in voting mechanism. It should be easier for friedcat to propose something and receive shareholder feedback.
4) ??

Agree! I would do this to be a part of spread the AM love and work with AM, but I'm sooooo swamped. Like, get it done or bad things happen swamped. Otherwise I'd be coding a prototype now. Someone go do it!

There is no need to pledge personal coins for features, AM has plenty revenue coming in, and a team of demonstrably intelligent people mapping out their future.

LOL you're right, but I laugh when I read this all because I felt the same "obligation" a couple weeks ago to offer donations to AM just to help give things a boost. I think some of us share some kind of psychological obsession with friedcats operation ... some kind of sick and twisted hardcore loyalty that I've never seen before. Friedcat could literally create an army, as some of them would probably take a bullet for him. Cheesy

I've never seen anything like it before LOL

AM needs a website and streamlined ordering.

There are people in the blade sales thread saying they haven't received responses for days.

Friedcat also appears to be handling all of the share transfers himself.

There are people here who want to help, hopefully Friedcat will take them up on their offers.

sounds like a good plan. I would contribute a small amount in the region of 0.x BTC, I don't hold many shares... but I think this idea sounds brilliant. I also think friedcat should comment on it and there should be some kind of vote, unless voting with your BTC is enough.

also, in a side note. I had a dream last night that Friedcat was actually a hot russian woman wearing dungarees and with dyed dark red hair... yeah, welcome to my head. It was strictly business though don't worry.

did (s)he offer you her Multipass?

no she was quite standoffish and cool... business from a distance, with a faceless right hand man. Maybe she was lesbian

Also, I know there are lots of people who would like to become "official" resellers for these products

What's stopping this from happening? Buy bulk orders, let them know what you're doing and establish a relationship so you can get the inventory flow. Set up a nice website and become a retailer.

"to be or not to be, that is the bitcoin"

I continually read great suggestions in this thread for ASICMINERs potential future development.

I wonder if Friedcat or one of his friends actually reads through this evolving discussion.

I often get the impression that he is virtually a one man band, correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't done the "read the whole thread" thing yet... Shocked

The ratio reward/effort of having a nice website is huge, literaly. IMHO, most of the hardware sells could be sold slightly higher and/or in greater quantities if there was not the current hassle to get them. So as time is passing and hardware is kept being sold the "cheap" way, AM just loses some additional profit on the way.

Also, I know there are lots of people who would like to become "official" resellers for these products (myself definitely included). The demand is insane. People are willing to pay $400-$500 per USB miner on Ebay (just look at recent sales). With the head start that they have, ASICMiner could become the world leader in ASIC hardware sales and as long as they continue to improve their hardware and stay competitive, profits from hardware sales could be much higher than profits from profits from mining.

Also, thinking longer term, since there are other types of single purpose applications (outside of Bitcoin) that could benefit from ASIC creation, there are opportunities to expand outside of mining and mining equipment sales. Password cracking comes to mind. A USB based password cracker that can smoke a 7970 would be in high demand as well.

Friedcat, we believe in you.

Guys, there are functioning web pages fort this type of "extended spread sheet" functionality
Let me give ya'll a simple hint: https://btct.co/

Leaving aside the fact that BTCT can not be used for trading direct shares; we were talking about selling hardware and having a single, consistent place with all the information pertaining to it -- price, inventory, delivery, user guides etc.

I think it's frustrating that vaporware products have a better on-line presence (and marketing) than a company with a proven track record like AM. And if you think "well, they did great like this anyway" -- just think how better they could do with a proper website! Looking at the future, we can not rely on an incompetent competition forever...
