I'm not dying to know the answer right now... but someday I'd like to know why ASICMiner doesn't include more transactions in its blocks. If you look at this block:

http://blockchain.info/block-index/398726/000000000000004a96eb5e666d882b238ab2bf5c51f6b3c0cc3eb420517b64a1

You'll notice that it was found a full hour after the previous block... so, 60 minutes worth of transactions were being collected in that time... and yet ASICMiner's block has only 8 transactions. Seems like a lot of missed transaction fees, no? Am I missing something?

Some old-timey Sunday reading for everyone: http://trilema.com/2012/lolvacute-pentru-posteritate/

Conversation includes conversation in IRC around the time ASICMINER was still trading at .1btc each.

"Ill trade you 2080 asicminer for 4160 obsi.abmo"

I love how troll that is. It ended up being a brilliant move that made quite a lot of money.

Does anyone here know of a relationship between ASICMiner and DiscusFish?

I see a clear correlation between their hashrates. While correlation != causation, is DiscusFish maybe renting a percent of ASICMiner's hashrate? Are investors being paid a little extra?

So what's the best place to buy ASICMINER put options?

BTC-TC only has TWO contracts available. And they both have huge premiums.

Is there something better anywhere?

Put out how many you're looking for, what strike and premium you're looking for and what your time frame is - you'll get people to put them up. Possibly myself included.
Fair request.

I'm looking to buy 20 American style put options with a strike price of 3.0 BTC and a duration of 90 days for 0.25 BTC per contract.

If anybody has a link that explains how simply as possible how these put options work, please share. I'm a complete layman with this.
An American style put option is a contract that entitles the owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the specified asset at the specified price (called the strike price) within the specified period.

If it's European style then it's at the expiration date.

I'm tempted I must admit. I'm a bit pushed for time at the moment - how many were you thinking of buying?

What's the hardware sales situation these days? I think I missed the relevant posts about this...


cranking out volumes hitting mega large radars worldwide, i'm telling you would not believe friedcats' followers on twitter #2 stock!~~~

Yawn. You don't need to attempt hyping AM with these pitiful one liners. They don't do anything (no one buys because you says it's #2 stock, you have no data to back up your claim). You and Elmore ASIC, act the same, yawn, registered within a minute of eachother.

Rockxie has been listing pre-orders for the new 5Gh/10GH (at 35W/70w) blades.   Rockxie is the Chinese distributor for Asicminer and I believe only sells to the Chinese market.

I've not seen any sites offering pre-orders outside of China.

General consensus is that we should see new hardware blade sales in dividend on the 24th.

Thanks!

Learning the troll avoidance button :)
Thanks for pointing that out waits for the fix from SmiGueL I'll just divide the network rates by 10 and assume that was the correct division

Fixed

Seems that the source changed the difficulty format a bit which shifted the dot by 1 number Tongue
(last 10 difficulty changes this wasn't a problem)
Please PM me next time when there are problems whith the charts I'll check this very often and it 'll keep the thread clean Smiley

Roger that it's been peaceful lately by AM page growth standards XD
Thanks for the fast fix and as always appreciate your charts

Pretty peaceful and runeks you might want to use Bold to make sure people notice your options for sale

Out of curiosity why is the chart at 180%
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkPdXsQFT-vIdHRVUjQ5Ql9BQWR6OENLMkhyUktUblE#gid=9

Looks like the V1 chart is showing the wrong difficulty.  I would look there first.

Edit: Last two difficulty entries are off by an order of magnitude.

Ah now I see the mistake
187.28116 vs 18.72812

That wouldn't be quite right, but is a decent approximation.

Thanks for the link/explanation. I think it's best for me to stay away of this, the wikipedia article sounds pretty much like chinese to me  Smiley
