Shares on Bitfunder are crawling up now that that wall is gone... could go as high as 2.6 -> 2.8 once the PT dividends are thrown out there!

Looks like AM has been busier than usual... we're up 3% (was 19% early yesterday)

To the ones who wonders if the last three-four posts were relevant to the OP, Yes they are a part of the weekly euphoria caused by the divs on Wednesdays.
In the Bitcoin world, a time machine is so desirable.
I'm working on one.
Did you solve the quantum frame entanglement problem yet?
Jutarul's auction is over(ish). People start to realize the momentum of ASICMINER.
Well we have to thank Juratul as well for building up a strong support base along multiple investors
Will be more difficult to see wild drops now hopefully (Need that time machine yesterday XD)
From here on out we can see real growth and likely stability instead of spikes for a while

You can re-post from the future and solve my question XD

ROFL at all the Stockholm Syndrome under the announcement.
i vaguely remember on their "details" tab on btct.co that if friedcat ever gets... fried, there are specific instructions for his friend to access his wallets and distribute the necessary funds to shareholders
I believe Burnside details what to do if something happens to him, not Friedcat.

Friedcat,
A team of us shareholders has taken the time to collect and simplify the most popular questions people have for you and ASICMINER. I am sending these questions to you at Jutarul's suggestion, and on behalf of all ASICMINER shareholders that took our poll.
I am only going to send 3 questions to you, in order to keep things simple, and to hopefully maintain this line of communication in the future. We understand that you might not be able to fully answer some things due to competition, but any amount of info will be plenty for us!
If you can take the time to answer, feel free to post your answers in your main ASICMINER thread, or respond to me directly and I will copy your answers verbatim.
Thank you so much for your consideration, here are the questions:
1. Can you tell us more about the next generation of ASIC chips? When should we expect them, and what specs might they achieve?
2. Does ASICMINER/Bitfountain have any legal risks by doing business in China? Are cryptocurrencies or mining of virtual currencies allowed there?
3. What contingency plan do you have in place if Friedcat or other important employees become seriously ill or otherwise unavailable as a resource to ASICMINER?

While I think you overestimate how slowly BFL will ship from here, I still believe AM won't have trouble staying a step ahead of them.
You are better informed than me so I bow to your superior knowledge, but I based it on the fact that BFL have continually been surprised by issues throughout. I don't think they can project anything very well beyond a few days. If they are saying now 2 months to clear the backlog I don't think a time loading of 100% is unreasonable, especially as the single is the most complex product they've tried to ship. Plus I see a lot of what they say in public as PR spin to keep existing punters happy and encourage new ones (not outright lies, just unguarded optimism).
But I do agree that even if BFL *do* hit their targets AM will cope.
Does anyone have an estimate as to how large (th/s) their backlog is?

Just in case it goes back down (I doubt it will though).

The very first Single SC 60gh/s unit was shipped out on Tues 06/11/2013 during the 5 o'clock hour. I know this because I happened to visit BFL HQ on the right day. This is a momentous occasion for Butterfly Labs and the Bitcoin community as a whole. I will be posting a full write-up of my visit in the next couple hours. This write-up will contain a lot of information, some of which is unknown to the general public and other information will clarify a lot that has been left to speculation. There were maybe 8 Singles that had been built and tested while I was there, most of which did not have any problems getting into the 60gh range, even with un-binned chips, so no one should worry about getting a device with less than their ordered hashrate. Without further ado, here is some pics of the first Single being boxed up and shipped out to one very lucky customer.
This device is not packaged as future devices will be packaged. Future Singles will be shipped encased in foam to provide a higher level of protection.
This first Single was laser etched with a unique serial number by Josh directly. I watched this process which was amazing. I've never seen something lasered in person. I was amazed by the speed as the engraving only took about a second.
EDIT: Before any "Why only one?" posts start, these devices weren't fully burned in and some things are still being tested with BFGMiner for which they are using these devices.

There is an aspect of BFGMiner being tested not the Singles.
