How does the W/GH and price/GH compare to cointerra's offering?
I can't find info about their power consumption.

According to one of the first recipients, it hashes at 1.7 Th/s with 2 KW draw.  Although a firmware upgrade is suppose to increase the hash by 20% and decrease power by 20%.

Where are all the banners of old women holding up block eruptor blades? I really used to enjoy those whenever FC made a State of the Union speech.

Regardless, I think it will be difficult for FUDsters to find a black cloud in this silver lining, but I am certain many will try.

Update
The tapout date is pulled back to early Feburary due to further modifications for robustness and stability, but mass delivery date is still March.

Hello, first i want to thank you for the update. but some question for the curious:

How does this work, a later schedule for the tape out but no change in the timeline for mass delivery? As far i understand chip manufacturing it takes around a day per layer and there a over 3 dozens of layers to be processed?

Little speculation:
It's quiet possible that friedcat may sell 1 milion chips/month. Price 12$/chip, production cost 2$(?)/chip, profit 10$/chip.
10 000 000/400 000 =25$/share/month
At 1000$/BTC = 0.025BTC/share/month
At 0.3BTC/share ROI=1year. If price of BTC goes up, ROI = bye bye.

EDIT: And 1M chips is 12PH. If that kind of hashing power will come online every month those chips become very expensive very quickly.

You do realize shares aren't worthless as soon as you buy them, you can still sell them. You are talking about yield. And in your case this would be a yield of 100% a year, which is exorbitantly high. AM usually resides at about 25-30% yield a year. This would constitute a share price of 1 BTC in your calculations. Also, don't forget new hardware that'll be in development.
With most energy efficient chips, the only question is when FC captures 400k Btcs of the next 1.3 M + transact fees. This is a no brainer.

No one?  Really? ...

Okay, I'll go :-)

This week's divs = 0.00061457

Nice little bump up from last week, to go with the good chip news.

I am just wondering what is going to happen to the Immersion Cooling Mining Facility/Technology if ASICMINER is going to be chip-selling only.
AM won't go 100% chip production. read the chip thread

 I can see the Immersion Cooling Mining Facility/Technology will using for every big pool, AM price will go to sky high

A pumpkin mines 27 hours a night
I do not see a flood of buyers , price is still lower than previous hype. 0.7 BTC

In the past when low records divs where achieved,  FC posted an update. Same story here.

Everyone is still busy celebrating...

Ummm, I'm pretty positive if BTC goes up significantly FC will adjust the future price of the chips to reflect the new exchange rate. Why in the world would he not and give away tons of profit to chip buyers? He might be pricing the batches of chips in USD, but I can guarantee you it will also be adjusted based on the exchange rate for further out batches.

That's a lot of IFS in there Dexter
