Th'ar she blows!!!
And the whale is back!
And the whale is back!
Good day to own AM shares. Bad day to own anything based upon the expectation of delivery of Avalon products. Wifu stated that they will never take preorders again. It is unlikely they will bring new products to market before next year if they have to have them in-hand before selling them.
So far as I can see the only other ASICs currently being delivered are from BFL. While they are pumping them out at record numbers, they still have around a year of backlogs to work through.
AM remains the only source for ASIC delivered within a week of purchase. That's pretty much all anyone needs to know.
The days of pre-order are over, and anyone still taking pre-orders for anything should be considered incompetent at the best, and scammers at the worst.
Friedcat has once again proven why AM is in the drivers seat.

Extortion, a familiar tactic when it comes to the Bitcoin scene and business in China.
I don't really understand this. Is extortion a familiar tactic when doing business in China in general, or specifically when doing Bitcoin business in China? It seems odd to refer to extortion, or any tactic, as "familiar" for such a new thing as Bitcoins. In any case, I found the statement surprising. Are ASICMiner staff frequently fending off extortion attacks as well?
Extortion is a constant worry already, bitcoin is just the latest "magic" way of earning money that others will want to take.
a couple examples:

Not that the situation is good, but it could be taken as a good sign that BTC adoption is up, which is good for all of us.
What would be real good for BTC broad adoption is a exchange company that can provide a fucking service without disrruptions for a fucking straight month. Jesus...
Thanks Friedcat!
We'll see... There's a big problem for folks in the states... Coinbase is effectively down. No transfers going through.
Could you clarify this? Source?
I bought 15 BTC yesterday to buy some cheap shares; transferred immediately after purchase to BTCT. Nothing on the Blockchain, Coinbase says 'pending'. Get up this morning... the send transaction was gone - no evidence I'd even made it.
I put it through again. That was 6 hours ago. This time I get a confirmation email, but no transfer to BTCT. This is not normal - I've done this probably 10 times and it typically takes 45 mins.
And I'm not the only one: Coinbase being extra slow

Dunno... If it's a sign of anything, I suspect it's a sign of a security or software problem... and that can't be good.
Anyways... the real problem is back. I smell whale... The 2000 share variety.
Well, lets hope I can buy up some more shares before it makes a splash!

Is asicminer a good invesment?
I don't think we will go past 5 BTC soon, because there is too much competition that is sucking away the funds needed for ASICMINER to cross the 5 BTC barrier. I think we are just going to see 4s.

It depends on wednesday dividends. You can buy a little now and make bigger decision after dividends.

It's a terrible investment. Now shoo! Go away.
Or do your research.

There is close to 100 shares under 4.06 right now.
Tomorrow Today is Friday - Payday for most. Look for a big rise, and another after wednesday's divs. Then another NEXT wednesday, then another when the new blades start selling. We're going to get to 5.0+ very soon.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we're back in business.

Shit...looks like another scramble to buy.
I hope I can get my bitcoin out of cold storage tonight and into btct before the price goes up.

Do you realize that friedcat could have purchased dozens of TH/s from BFL and AVALON? There's nothing that can stop him (or his anonymous partners) to do that. That's the easiest way to mantain AM network share. And he can keep doing the same thing in the future.
would be a smart move!
