It would be nice if FriedCat could clarify his view of AMs future with self mining. The original stated goal was to long term hold 10% of the network. Is this being abandoned?

This business is named after a current AM board member, so I would say current board members are involved.
This business is good for AM as it allows friedcat to focus the business and make the best chip possible. From what I understand making the board and selling them are easier to do, but they have their own logistical issues. I think this setup is of mutual benefit.
I do not think this will be a franchise per say, as they will be using their own boards not AM boards, just am chips.
I predict that AM will get out of mining altogether, and will move to a B2B chip seller.

Does anyone know if ASICminer has an interest in the rock miner ipo besides being the supplier? Is this an expansion of the franchise model? Will AM be receiving a portion of the mining revenue? If not are AM board members involved? I'm just a little concerned that AM will have little interest in mining coins itself if the board members have a large interest in this operation and, if they do, they would have an interest in selling the chips(or giving then away) for next to cost.

Since there's a minimum limit of 100 shares during the IPO, has anyone thought about doing a passthrough/groupbuy? That way one wouldn't have to risk as many BTC and it could enable small investors to participate as well. The problem is, there isn't much time left. If there's no one doing this yet, and you trust me, send a short PM and let me know the amount of shares you'd be interested in. Transfer of the shares to your address after trading is enabled, if possible, or an ongoing passthrough. If there are enough people interested, we could move ahead, otherwise just forget about it immediately. Of course I'd also be willing to identify myself to some trusted member if it is feasible, in case you're worried. I'd be doing this for tips or, say, 2% of the divs in case of a PT.
Will there be a passthrough at Havelock for those of us who can't afford to spend at least 10-15 BTC on the minimum amount of 100 shares?
Yes,after IPOed.
Yeah but at the respective share prices, which may very well be higher than the IPO price! So buying in at IPO may be the key to profit from this thing...

So what are your opinions about The ROCKMINER IPO (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528464.0)? What do the AM shareholders think? Another AM or just one more BTC stock fizzling away?

They are basically an AM subsidiary... as a large holder of AM shares I see no reason to invest, but seems like a good option for new people who are not already in AM. People are questioning their evaluation, it seems reasonable to me.

Fabrizio89 are your ISP having shared IP's with 100's-1000's users under the same IP or are you connecting to havelock throu some proxy, that might be the reason then. CloudFlare seems to become crazier by the day.
No, ISP is not the problem and no proxy. It never happened before. Does anyone know how to change email on Havelock? Just to be safe.
March 24, 2014, 05:34:03 AM
I keep getting this page from Havelock:
"One more step
Please complete the security check to access www.havelockinvestments.com
Why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA?
Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property."
And even if I complete it, after about 15 minutes it pops again when I refresh.
Anyone have the same issue?

Thanks for update Friedcat, you see, one sentence is enough to fill a void 
If somebody is interested how do they make Silicon Wafers and Computer Chips and what is the difference between wafers and engineering batch of packaged chips :

How does one find "some random coin" in their possession ?
Lucky you ...
Lucky you ...
Back when TAT first announced he was handing over ownership, I panicked and sold everything on havelock and pulled out all of my funds. Having seen that the new ownership seems to be solid and my fears were silly, and expecting news soon I activated my account. Right after I open it up I see I have a full BTC just sitting there smiling at me, so I bought 152 shares of AM100.
I wish Havelock had dividend reinvestment... I miss that from Burnsides exchange.
Havelock has been having some issues this week-end, not sure what, but the cloudflare pages were showing frequently with "host down", "host unreachable", etc.

Update
The first wafers were out in March 22th. The engineering batch of packaged chips will be out in March 28th. After that we can immediately start testing on functionality and power consumption.

I was wondering why share prices were the highest they have ever been this year! And lucky for me I purchased a few shares right before this update because I found some random coin sitting on Havelock (I swore I cleaned out my account).

W000t!! Good to hear from you friedcat, start pumping those chips out at full capacity. It was a good idea to skip 2nd gen but let's go apeshit on this gen!
Going to 6 billion difficulty!

Great to hear from you Friedcat
