Uhhh  User 67117 is currently hashing at 3,587.23 GH/s, small downtime before big launch of new hardware?  I hope?

*fingers crossed* I hope so, BFL is stirring.

Regardless of what does happen, big swings coming for share prices....

If I buy a Passthrough share, do I receive some of the BTC the company mines? I'm not expecting miracles, though, like ROI in a month or such (especially that I couldn't really buy more than 1 single share, which I guess is considered ridiculously few), but still I'm interested in the concept - is it somehow like a mining contract?

You can study amount of paid dividends on both bitfunder and btct
Bitfunder for ex https://bitfunder.com/asset/G.ASICMINER-PT#pane_divs

Yes. In the order  of 95% of dividends are paid through  the PT shares. But do your  own research to  be sure.

Especially since USD has been totally unstable in value the last month with wild swings between 0.004 and 0.02 BTC/USD.

I'm not so sure it wont last. Speaking of profit maximization it might be a good idea to always sell hardware in auctions. The market is quite dynamic, as we all know Grin I'm just saying IF auction continues to be the selling mode, a proprietary platform would probably be the way to go.

It would maximize profits while keeping things efficient and handable, hence it would provide added value to the whole operation. And you know, once there is some volume on the platform, who knows what else you could auction there in the future.

Regarding a proprietary trading platform for shares, I believe the market found its own way. Might be nice to have a platform, but it doesnt seem necessary at the moment.

To be honest I have a slight feeling ASICMINER is planning on integrating both platforms in one. Friedcat mentioned, their planned platform would be quite innovative in itself. The auctioning functionality for hardware could be this innovative aspect. And indeed it would be quite interesting to have shares and hardware sales wrapped up in the same place. Kind of a perfectly efficient market. Have you ever seen something like it in the real world? No? Welcome to the possibilities of bitcoin!

Update

We are getting ready for the arrival of our assembled blades. The development of USB-stick miners is actively on the way and heading to its sample batch. The series of the auction will last for several rounds and include the USB-stick miners in later rounds when they are out.

If auctioning mode continues to be THE way for ASICMINER to sell hardware, a proprietary platform may actually make sense this time.

Friedcat stated the whole point of running auctions for a few weeks is to establish a pricing point for mass 'buyatthisprice' selling of blades.... So a proprietary auctionplatform might be overdone, especially since we are still waiting on their proprietary exchange.....

Is there no alternative to ebay where you can pay with btc yet? Something tells me ebay will never accept bitcoins.

If the goal is to maximize profit, how about friedcat to offer them over ebay ? Avalon batch 2 preorder has just priced at $50,000 . I'm pretty sure if the usb thing is auctioned here, some will be reauctioned at the bay at 10 folds price tag. Rich people could buy them just because they are rare and so cute.

It also promotes bitcoin and the company outside the community.

I'm sure they will look into it. Beside the fact that the Avalon ebay auction you mentioned and ASICMINER's 10 blade auction yielded comparable returns, you would get USD and not BTC on ebay. There are also fees you have to pay. It may be not in the spirit of what we do here, on the other hand it could be an effective hedge against USD/BTC dropping.

I will continue to trust their judgement on those decisions, because they have proven their capabilities so often and in so many ways.

I agree. Auctioning in USD is not the way of ASICMINER. They always made all transaction with shareholders in BTC and should do that with the auction of equipment to third parties as well.

Especially since USD has been totally unstable in value the last month with wild swings between 0.004 and 0.02 BTC/USD.
