have I missed something crucial or why is the AM price imploding on dividend day?

firesale!

Edit: Seriously though, the market can only run on hope for so long.  ASICMiner needs to deliver on the blades.

Now seems AM has a monopoly on Orphaned Blocks.

Indeed.

there definitely seems to be some problem with the datacenter, it could hardly be just variance

You will never see twenty percent again with thousands of people deploying asics per month. By the time you recover.   I don't care how many peeps you hire it's simply a matter of economy of scale.

franchising. also elimination of orphans

Definitely need to hear from friedcat about the transaction count/orphan rate of our solo mining.

+1. I know that networking from within China to other countries can be problematic, but it's surprisingly to see the low transaction count/orphan block happen so consistently. I'd like to hear Friedcat's comments rather than speculate further.

Good think these questions are coming up as less orphaned blocks and greater # of transactions per block is good for both ASICMINER and the network. Let's ask friedcat about this during the next update.

Would it not be possible to connect the ASICMINER farm via VPN to several points to increase the number of fast peers? I imagine they are doing something like this already, so why the poor connection?

So preorders are going out the 3rd, yet the rest of us are stuck not being able to order  Huh

preorders are going out the 3rd, but will receive old blades.
(I don't get used to it, it baffles me how quickly things get old in btc world)

I'd be happy to order old blades.  The fact is, except for the preorders, NO blades are available.  This gives the customers of a certain distributor an advantage.  I understand friedcat is just trying to help clean up the mess, but it's not his (or our) mess to clean up.  Meanwhile, we are down to 11% of hashpower while he helps the distributor dig himself out of his hole.

You're right, there should be no reason to provide them any hardware to clean the mess.
I think we would need more than 3 questions next time to get some very important points answered.
Thanks for cleaning my crappy quote

We of course don't accept pre-orders.

What we would like to make clear is that this pre-order was not initiated by rockxie himself.

so, when will blades be for sale? 

we're 1 month late on this (you initially said late June), and I think we'd all appreciate some information on what is the holdup on these blades and when we can expect it them to be ready.

Whoa, calm down there. If there are delays, then there are logistical reasons why that's the case. If friedcat needs to reveal why, he'll do so at the according time. No need to get rowdy.
I am just asking for clarification, as the most stockholders and customers are eagerly waiting for the blade release. I, for one, would appreciate information about why the blade release keeps getting delayed, and when they expect to have problems ironed out.  It's not too much to ask to get some information from FC on this.

I think it's great he clarified the pre-order thing, but in the grand scheme of things, that is a very low priority issue for him to post an update about. I know he's busy, but as long as he's taking time to discuss distributor issues, maybe we can get some information about the product launch that is now a month overdue.

I'm surprised more shareholders aren't more concerned by a month of lost revenue.

People on reddit are complaining because of the low transaction count in ASICMiner blocks:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1jd525/why_is_asicminer_including_only_40_transactions/

Can the chinese firewall be the problem? It would be good if this problem could be fixed  Tongue

As friedcat didn't provide any explanation so far, we definitely need to ask this question "officially" at the next question round (I know it's not offical, but still convey a certain weight).

We have been talking about this issue for a while on this thread, and several of us insisted that the main problem is for the reputation of AM.
The fear or hate that rise in some people mind simply by AM having 20% of the hash power must not be underestimated, any reason that can rationaly support this unrational feeling must be avoided at all cost. The small number of transaction is such a reason.

So now the question went outside this thread, and for me this issue has become therfore the most important concern, more than any delay of blades or whatever short-term stuff.

Where am I able to confirm this.....

In fact, they have the highest percentage of orphaned blocks of any pool (over 50% of the last 70 orphans were AM)

Not entirely straightforward, but if you click on the timestamp below each red x it will tell you who relayed it:
