this probably should go in the Speculation thread, but if this is true, then it lines up with him buying a bunch of advertising and not responding to people until they knew blades would be restocked.

I'll wait until I hear a confirmation, but it is interesting, nonetheless.

This guy is a reseller?

I do think he lets resellers know what is coming down the pipes on hardware stocking.  If it is real, then he's saying they will have new stock in 2 days for the blades, which is really not handing out inside info as much as preparing the resellers for the new stock.

I mean I prefer to think it's fake than imagine FC is handing out inside info. He's been very professional in the past.

Do you mean FC leaked something on purpose, or do you mean it's manufactured by somebody and just a fake?

interesting.

October 7, releasing of "newer products"?  what does that mean?

I suspect this PM was manufactured - I have more faith in FC than that.

I agree. I'm down money on AM but I buy more when I can. There will be a leader that emerges from bitcoin miners. When bitcoin breaks the dollar's back what will happen to leveraged multinational corporations? Bitcoin will be the financial and consolidation center of the world. That's my gamble with AM. As long as things are on schedule I vote for friedcat to focus on the business.

Even I get sick of looking too often at prices.  The other players and BFL and Avalon made things look easy but they weren't easy.  Just look at Coinlab.

Thanks for the info. I received no response.

Considering ASICminers overall success its surprising to see so many "experts" telling them how they should run their business. There's no lack of demand for shares so all this talk of "should have..." and "should do..." can just GTFO, they came here from nothing and kept their promises and that's worth far more than pro beancounting and paperwork.

Dear Friedcat, board members, dear shareholders.

I don’t speak a lot, but as a shareholder I need to speak out now.

Here are my concerns.

1.)   Un-transparency in company mining hashrate
2.)   Un-transparency in company hardware salles and other income/expenses
3.)   Lack of updates from board or Friedcat himself

---

Regarding the first concern, i proposed the following question in the first round of questions

“Could we have an official live hashrate meter from ASICMINER?”

We received 2 answers for now:


The same question made into the second round of questions as well, so second answer was :


Now is middle of September and we still don’t have hashratemeter. We are still guessing the hashrate from mined blocks, we are still questioning, believing, hoping, speculating …

 

For second concern regards un-transparency in company sales I proposed the following question

“For more transparency, is it possible to share a wallet address for depositing income from ASICMINER hardware sales?”

This question made into the second round of shareholders questions.

answer

From bitcoin-flow in AM addresses as a shareholder I still don’t have a clue how many blades/usbs company sold in week/month. Also what about direct sales in China? Franchising? Expenses? 2nd gen development? Moving?

Its really hard to write few words after each dividend? “The sales was … and the news are” If CEO doesn’t have a time for this anymore than somebody from staff could handle the public relations.



Third concern, lack of updates.

I remember days when Friedcat delivers updates like clockwork. This is not true anymore. And humble shareholders are kept in speculating darkness. What happened with transparency?

In this unstable times we need updates more than ever.

In my everyday life I see that money changes people, but I believe this is not an issue here and we shareholders are still important for company.


Kind regards,

Monarch

The interesting possible counter to all this is that Friedcat and the Board should consider the following:

- Change dividend policy to monthly (or even quarterly)
- Change update policy to the same frequency

The reality is that since AM is a privately-controlled company with a minority listed on exchanges and it is not seeking to raise money since it's very profitable, it has no reason to be wasting it's time dealing with the absurd frequency of updates and dividends demanded in the Bitcoin World. That way it could officially just concentrate on running the business.

As I've said before, I'm involved in a few big private companies as a Director, Investor or both. Not one of them provides either a shareholder update or a dividend more frequently than quarterly.

I want a hash meter, too, but I don't believe an AM hash meter adds to transparency.
