Water? I think FC can trump that

Google opened 2 new data centers, one in Singapore and one in Taiwan
http://googleasiapacific.blogspot.in/2013/12/our-first-data-centers-in-asia-are-up.html

The one in Taiwan is using water-cooling with a twist:
"We built this to be one of Asia’s most efficient and environmentally friendly data centers. One way we’re increasing efficiency here that’s unique among our global fleet of data centers is through the use of a nighttime cooling and thermal energy storage system. The system works by cooling water at night, when temperatures are cooler, storing the cooled water in large insulated tanks where it retains its temperature before being pumped throughout the facility to cool our servers during the day."

Friedcat, I think Google is saying: "bring it on". Will you accept the challenge?

That's the problem will being so darned reliable week in week out. A few hours late and we all start panicking 

What would you like the big players to do to help the situation?

Received all dividends, thank you!

Thanks for the update.  I was starting to get a little worried so I checked the forum...

AM1 and AM100 dividends will come today, don't worry folks, just a bit behind.

My point is that the industry is killing itself.  I think you underestimate the importance of the hardware aftermarket - altcoins generally aren't worth squat, look at how people flocked to PeerCoin and upped the diff there astronomically when it "caught on".  Same happens to any sha-based coin that hits exchanges in any form.  So for any reasonable ROI on most hardware you need the aftermarket.  Right now, folks are pushing towards things that can't really catch-on in the aftermarket, like a Neptune or an AMC.  Those are investments, big ones, for a market that is continually gouging itself from every direction.  

"all industries mature and just have a few big players. That's just what happens. Deal with it."

We're figuring out how to "deal with it".  Right now the community has responded with-

Shares in someone else's hardware => not worthwhile.  
Shares in AM => so far, not worthwhile.  
Anything shipping in auctions/group buys => not worth the BTC you spend.

What's left are the big players.  They're going big, very big, f' the community big.  Most of the people are currently invested in BTC will likely leave because you can't afford new hardware and nothing is worth the BTC you'd spend on it for partial ownership.  And any industry needs the peons, needs the folks who buy usb sticks on eBay, needs the customers.  

Right now we're hoping that our current "doom and gloom" outlook is wrong, but none of the "big players" are doing anything to encourage a healthy future for this side of BTC.  

Just a delay, got an email back from havelock support:

--------------------
Hello,
 
We usually send out Dividends weekly every Wednesday.
 
There was a delay yesterday and the dividends should be today.
 
We apologize for the delay.
 
Thank you,
 -----------------------

Where is our dividend? is not pay on 12-18 on Havelock.
My shares in 796.com already got yesterday.

Any news or even rumours  from FC's investor meeting during the week?

No, not yet. Last dividend on Havelock is still as of 2013-12-11.

My shares are at havelock - other people seem to have been paid, but I've had nothing. Anyone else not get paid by havelock yet?

Weren't we supposed to get dividends last night, or am I a day out?

No, I'm pretty sure that's all direct shares.
Works great for weeks. But something wrong on this time.

Just mailed FC. Hope they can fix it.

I'm not trying hard at all. Its going to be a long hard winter for AM shareholders, including me. Just a sad fact.

Dividend was paid out just the passthru holders need to wait for them to be paid out if your on havelock just wait on TAT a bit

It doesn't account for franchise miners but every coinbase transaction that has deposited to the ASICMiner mining address has shown up on there.  Although, I guess it is possible to report blocks from other centers but not the hashrate.

I don't think we have had any real confirmation that that site is really from ASICMiner at all.  It appears legit, but I can't remember friedcat confirming it.

That hashrate is for one of the datacenters but not all if I remember correct.

Does any else missing dividend this week(12/18)?

Apart of my shares, which dividend successful last week, didn't pay out today.

Should I send FC an email for this?
