Here's a "competitor":

https://ghash.io/

Most of this has come online in the last couple of weeks. I think believing that AM doesn't have real competition is an idea that's a couple of months out of date.

For those who didn't click-through, when I posted this a few hours ago it was at 62TH/s. I peeked a few minutes ago and it is hovering at about 70TH/s now.

The information is presented in the hope of informing the debate about competition.

is this part of the "unknown" block?

No one said there is no real competition. This is another example of where you exhibit bias by twisting what was said to suit your own agenda.

That's funny, because stripykitteh read it the same way I did:
That's a different context, obviously AM isn't the only miner.

wat

then what was the point of the quotes if it's understood non-hypothetical competition DOES exist (i.e. Bitfury is shipping product)

I wonder if friedcat's kitten's kittens will read about this, when block reward was 25 and they had 10%

I've disclosed those a number of times. I was referring to my dispute of the claim that there is no real competition, which involves no bias because it is objectively false.

Even a good dividend won't keep this up with the network percentage dropping and all these competitors shipping in the fourth quarter of 2013.   Last I checked, ASICMiner on;y 8% of total network hash: http://blockchain.info/pools

that's at 30 TH/s, and they were at 60 TH/s a week ago.  So, either they lost half the farm, or we only know about half of their hash rate right now.

At 60 TH/s, they would be at ~13% of the network.

An update from FC could provide enough information for shareholders to rally behind AM against the "competitors" that hope to ship this quarter.

Really? 'Competitors' is in quotes? You're certain not a SINGLE ONE poses a threat? Is AM a cult or a company?
Looks like Vycid is suffering from the classic psychological malady of projection.
Ha ha, well spotted!

In the meantime, 200TH/s of equipment has arrived (or is arriving) these days -- ready to be sold, deployed or leased.

Proper competition, which everybody knows will arrive eventually, is long overdue!

There is zero bias here.

Roll Eyes

I will immediately purchase ASICMiner puts expiring September 1st, with a strike of 1.8BTC, and a premium of 0.14BTC.
I will immediately purchase ASICMiner puts expiring September 1st, with a strike of 1.8BTC, and a premium of 0.14BTC.
I'm still buying about 7 more ASICMiner-PT put options.

Strike: 2.3 BTC
Exp: ~90 days
Premium: 0.2 BTC

(I am BUYING put options: you write them!)

Strike: 3.3 BTC
Expiration: 90 days
Premium: 0.3 BTC
Well, I tried...

Plenty of profit to go around for those who don't let their greed take over. Bears make money, bulls make money, pigs get slaughtered.

So nice of you to renounce greed and piggery to spend so much time writing so many posts to protect our investment. Roll Eyes

For the record: the options at 1.8 BTC were a hedge for my shares at the time. I was bullish once (shocker).

Hey Vycid clearly he is talking about vaporware that until it actually ships is not yet in actual competition.

Also he clearly doesn't say certainly not a single one will ship.

That you manage to call AM a cult in the same breath is yet another demonstration of your BIAS and AGENDA.

It's long past time you stopped with your PURE BULLSHIT.

Well, I tried. When the whales manage to liquidate before you do, that's nobody's fault but yours.

AM had its run, and it was spectacular. Plenty of profit to go around for those who don't let their greed take over. Bears make money, bulls make money, pigs get slaughtered.

Alot of clowns out there. Starting to look like FOXNEWS vs. MSNBC on here.

Well try without all the bullshit and bias otherwise you just destroy your own credibility.

There is zero bias here.

If they take preorders, those are lost AM sales.

They ARE competition, product or not. The minute they start delivering, though, will be much worse. That is when the hashrate goes stratospheric and AM hardware isn't worth the ridiculous margins.
