So, new topic of discussion...
What do we think dividends are going to be? There is limited transparency on hardware sales now... so that is an issue. We should get >0.01 from mining unless something drastic changes. I believe a good number of coins were taken in from USB miner sales... not sure how many but I know the cap was 10,000 units @ 1.99. Also... I wonder if any people decided to try and buy in on some bulk blades since friedcat decided on a price, I know a few people before in auctions were trying to get 20+ blades, but ended up getting outbid.
Thoughts? Is there any hard numbers on these sales of blades and USB drives to be found elsewhere on the forums?
I think this week might be the highest dividends we see for a while. Pent up demand for hardware will be at its highest over the next few weeks.
I notice that the blade sales page has over 10,000 page views, though how many sales that translates to I have no idea. I think someone with access to friedcat should tell him to tidy up the top post; it's misleading having multiple email addresses listed and mentioning PMs when there should only be one email address listed. I think that has confused some potential customers. A couple of people have said they emailed him days ago and haven't heard anything; perhaps they are trying the wrong methods of contact.
I had this weird thought today that if the btc:usd rate tumbled, hardware sales would actually go *up* as GPU miners see an opportunity to get an ASIC at a bargain price. The thought of all those Bitcoins rolling in made me swoon...
