May be the dumbest comment I have seen in a while. There is no incentive to treat your share holders well? Oh, well I guess every company in the world has it wrong then. My bad!

So Apple shareholders have discount on iPad and Microsoft shareholders have discount on Surface. That's what you are saying?

It's the "give me everything for free" attitude of this generation.

Didn't you get your free 737 when you bought a share from Boing? Too bad Sad

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.

I think a nice 'incentive' that could also help bring attention to investing in ASICMINER would be to offer the USB stick miners to share holders only (if possible) or offer a hefty 'early bird' discount to share holders.

My 2 Satoshi

"'incentive' that could also help bring attention to investing in ASICMINER" is certainly not friedcat's concern. why? because bitfountain is not selling any shares and wont be for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, there should be NO special treatment of shareholders. There is no overall profit maximizing effect in favoring shareholders. If you want to buy, buy like everyone else.

are the problems with network an power fixed?
how many TH/s can be plugged in all locations?
how many TH/s are in that assembled blades?
how many will be sold?

to know at least some of these numbers would be great. I know that we are waiting for the second batch, but could not find if second batch is 6TH/s or 50TH/s (or some other number?)

First batch was 12TH/s (7 already deployed) and second was 50TH/s. Third (already paid for) is 200 TH/s, fourth (planned?) is 1000 TH/s.

That wont make sense because it would only lead to a shorttime spike in the shareprice. And its not needed anymore to get buyers for the shares because IPO is done. So if someone only could get one miner as a shareholder he would buy shares and sell it later. Nothing to win with this.
And, even though im a shareholder, i wont like special treatment to shareholders either.

Double post. I guess we can make a wish Grin

Would it be possible to get some estimate numbers on what you plan to deploy and auction in the coming weeks?

this https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wts-2x-icarus-fpga-miners-mine-with-them-or-trade-in-for-avalon-179800 should be used as a base to determine price of USB miner. Those FPGAs are 380MH/s, but are larger and consume more energy. Right now is price 7,5 BTC per piece.

Yea, but the cost of an fpga chip is significantly larger then an asic. Discounting the NRE anyway.

That's significantly more then I could justify spending on one, especially if bfl delivers 5 ghash at $275.

Time is most of the value in the price of miners right now. Sure BFL might deliver 5GH at $275, but when? if you order now, it's probably going to be 6-7 months later before you receive one, if you are lucky that is, there's tons of pre-orders ahead of you.

I think it comes down to whether or not you believe BFL will finally 'get their shit together' and deliver. IF they actually start shipping and can produce the 400+ units a day they have been saying for the last month BFL products will be a GREAT choice. If they screw up again and take another few months, their products will be almost worthless when they hit market in Aug/Sept.

And please note that you buy Asicminer Passthrough shares there. So you have a contract with the Issuer of the Passthroughs not with friedcat directly. You can change these shares into real shares with a minimum of 250(not set in stone) with deadterra or 1 with burnside. And please check the fees of the platform and the fees of the Passthrough.

Sorry for this possibly stupid question, but... where do I see the fees of the platform? I only found the Passthrough.
