Alydian’s turnkey Bitcoin mining solutions can be deployed in our datacenter or customer datacenters.

Included:

- One year of hosting
- All energy costs
- All maintenance costs

August Availability:

- 5TH/s: $350k
- 10TH/s: $650k

srsly 65K per TH? WTF!

Isn't that kind of reasonable? My back of the envelope calculation is that it's ~5-10 times more cost efficient ($'s per hash per second) than a current USB ASICMiner block eruptor.

AM devices have always been massively overpriced. Try doing the comparison with KnC Jupiters.

KnC Jupiter
400 Gh/s
6,995 USD
Available September
1 year hosting cost: 3,960 USD

27,387.5 USD per Th/s

You know what? You're right! & it's in line with Bitfury's pricing too (IF it ships, like, NOW, not August 30). I guess I was expecting "el cheapo" miners and was surprised I would have to fork ~~65K~~ 350K minimum! Cheesy

Right. If you could order one from them today, and it shipped almost immediately, it would probably be an OK deal. Given that's not the case, I would say it's a bit pricey. (I'm not a miner though, so everything I say is pretty irrelevant)

The question shouldn't be "is that a reasonable price" as much as it should be "where is the hardware coming from?" and "what is ROI for these plans?"

and just for the record, no one uses the USBs as a benchmark for cost efficient mining that scales.

Oh I completely agree on both of your points. I just didn't understand why $65K per TH/s was "obviously" unreasonable as the previous poster seemed to imply.

The relentless onslaught of new mining companies continue:

Any details on where their hardware is coming from? Maybe this is part of FC's hardware lease program...

“The Alydian team has worked diligently over the past year and we are excited to be the first in this industry to offer multi-terahash-speed turnkey mining systems available for delivery this month,” said Vessenes.

Sounds like a bigger unicorn has been imagined into existence. I wonder where these magic beans... I mean CHIPS are coming from?

Friedcat needs to exceed expectations tomorrow to really give this stock any hope of breaking out of this downward trend. All these mining IPOs may just be hype, but with people sitting on a lot of profits, many will be eager to lock some in in any sign that AM may have some real competition.

all it takes is one piece of news to change the downtrend: blades for sale. As soon as that is announced, expect all of those IPOs to drop significantly (even more than now)

Please Read

It's that time again! Time for a new small shareholder poll:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/15Ws1XzJeynK_vsKiQ9NaufQfLZOSKsRfsSgqMLTdIRs

As with the previous polls, we will leave the poll open for about a week. Once people have had sufficient time to vote, we will compile the results and post them here.

ThickAsThieves will then submit the top three questions to Friedcat with the hopes that he will answer them.

If you have any questions regarding this poll, please contact ThickAsThieves or myself. If you have a question that you would like included in future polls, please let us know that as well.

Thanks!

Dividend prediction: 0.01937 (from http://www.asicminercharts.com/live/)

We don't know if they started renting their hashpower, if that's the case the dividend prediction obviously lacks this information.

Divident perdiction has been there for a few days now, i expect somthing extra to that from sales

A lot of IPOs releasing in the last couple weeks has been making it very hard to speculate

We're in for a few ho hum IPO's and 6 weeks of doldrums before shit starts hitting the fan.

If ever there was a safe time to take a break from bitcoin and go enjoy a beach somewhere, it's now.

He-he true but then again bitcoin is always interesting so much can happen in 6 weeks here Cheesy

Although leaving it in a just dice or Coinlenders CD would help for the summer break

Convenient earnings when your gone lol.

Neither exactly safe:
1. Just-Dice: you literally gambling your money with a 1% edge! A little variance can make for large losses. And then there is always the counter-party risk (though I do trust dooglus personally)

2. Coinlender CD: 25% APR, really seems too good to be true. Pirateat40 redux anyone? Even if he is well intentioned, at those generous rates, a couple wrong bets and he may not have the funds to even pay back the principal. Significant counterparty risk

Nothing wrong with a paper wallet in a safe:)

Indeed just seems a bit better than earning nothing for a few weeks

Then again its 100% Safer in the paper wallet in a safe XD

(Only weakness the 5 dollar method rope and a weapon lol vs the guy mugging you and you're reply but its stuck in a CD it cannot be redeemed yet )
