A 20% average throughout the year would be spectacular!
I would be happy to see it back in the pools list for found blocks myself anyways with salame if the discovery rate and pool percentages start to rise up significantly its time to scoop shares till then standby ^_^.
Although they said chips first before working on their farms again.Edit Ok no one commented on it so I just noticed I missed the friedcat post lol screw that the FARMs are coming back online buy mode activated lol!
To dear shareholders:
We indeed had a hard time starting from the end of 2013. The BE200 performance was inferior than expected, and our prediction for the capacity of OEM producers and the individual mining market was a big miss. However, we had not stopped our work on designing our own products and finding proper farms after our chips passed the tests. Meantime we had tried many cooperations with OEMs (premium+balance payment, chip franchising)
but the overall improvement on volume was not significant. Now the new hardware solution matures and we got the resources on deploying, we can turn the newly produced chips to the market where the highest margin is.
There are some guesses about our integrity also starting from the end of 2013. We would like to emphasize the following:
1. There are no umbrella companies from ASICMiner. There are indeed some unsolved conflict of interests on someone investing both on ASICMiner and other chip manufacturers, but ASICMiner did not offer any information other than what it is supposed to do, for example, holding board member meetings.
2. ASICMiner has not participated in its share market in any means.
Update
1. Due to the relatively lower interest from individual miners as well as OEM producers, the self mining has re-started from middle of July. We had gain access of cheap electricity and high power capacity. We hope to regain the average hashrate percentage similar to 2013 with this generation of chips.
2. The price rockminer gets is not the sales price. It's the premium of franchising. We gain the part of profits after the devices begin to generate revenue like the franchising of devices. The sales price of chips stay a relatively high margin because our option of building our own devices and sell/deploy is always wide open.
3. We announce the sales of our own devices. We would arrange an offline meeting in Shenzhen first to share more information. We will post the English version of it on the meetup sub-board.
