I don't see why would anyone buy now. It's not like friedcat can come back now and pretend nothing happened.

Would it be possible to sell the IP and distribute to shareholders? It seems a shame to let the BE300 go un-produced.

With Bitfury and KNC both being in production at the same or better specs, I wouldn't be so sure that the BE300 design holds any value. That is unless its already leaked or stolen (if ASICMINER/Friedcaf has indeed been compromised or disappeared).

20 mins ago, we received a very important intelligence and we decide to increase the price of S5 by 20%. A certain competitor which we pay attention has not submit any mass production order to its wafer supplier. Only a small batch of pilot run has been submitted before the Chinese New Year. It has confirmed a long but uncertain guess that the aggressiveness get in trouble. The best time for mining bitcoin comes right now.

Looks like things are getting nasty well not that they already weren't.
Was a quick crash though from 0.03 to 0.01 there must not be any volume to support the market

I'm picking up 500 when the price hits 0.005 just on the off chance that Friedcat is just sleeping off the most epic hangover in history.

I have long suspected this address to be linked to AM:

It is on the move big time today

Looks like enough to go and sit on the beach and ignore the forums.

There were more informations through the earlier posts. Friedcat never tried to hide his identity and has posted a few pictures throughout his posts.
If you remember where those might be, could you link them in this thread? I have him as "Brandon Lu" - fnnirvana(at)gmail(dot)com. Email is verified from share transfers - can others confirm or update name? Family looking is expected, now sincerity is something else.

I'd give better odds on it being Bitfury, and it's definitely not a shoe-in for being Asicminer.

I thought bitfury had a shit ton of money from all the VC it raised?
Very interesting how bitmain didn't specify which manufacturer though. They might be keeping vague to drive hype to purchase miners.

Makes sense for them to make it seem like it's 'the perfect time' to buy new hardware.

Had to google it, what this 'shoe-in' means.
I agree here, not a shoe-in for being Asicminer. AM did submit a pilot run back in September, not before the Chinese New Year.

I just know that FC has a wife and she's also searching for him.
Once I get more info, I will inform you, stay tuned!

Maybe the government has him.

If so, the govenment will notice his family.

What a shit-show. I understand wanting to protect your margins, but this almost couldn't have been handled worse. Three month preorders for batch 6, then raising the price twice in the span of a couple hours in the face of the pent up demand is a surefire way to piss people off.

I wouldn't necessarily say this is about AM. It could be, but there's another large entity out there that just recently showed an awesome new chip that could have driven a large hashrate increase.

no, BF dont aim at home miners anyway. Bitmain is just playing around.

BF doesn't aim at home miners, but they are a major driver of difficulty increases. Bitmain's always priced their hardware based on estimates of their earning potential as opposed to BOM cost. Bitfury not submitting a large wafer order makes every S5 more valuable, therefore they charge more.

While it's possible they are talking about Asicminer, there's a lot more issues there that Bitmain would have been well aware of for much longer than the last 6 hours. I'd give better odds on it being Bitfury, and it's definitely not a shoe-in for being Asicminer.
