At this rate BFL's current stuff will be owned anyways
Quantity over Power
1000 immediate USB sticks vs 1 BFL anything that delivers someday lol
A 1000 horsepower engine vs 1 unicorn 

hey my nothings are going to the moon solar mining rig..thanks

they are shipping orders than were made 1 year ago.  Even if they cut the wait time by 1/2, they still suck.

+1

hey, you can buy nothing for cheaper than something?!?!?  Boy, that nothing must be a good price!

They charge a price that customers are willing to pay (yay for shareholders), mainly because AM is actually shipping and their competition has months of wait time -- difficulty could increase dramatically in the time you're waiting for a "cheaper" BFL miner.

People really need to stop comparing AM with BFL.  It's like comparing horses and unicorns.

Friedcat just announced price reduction for the USB Block Erupter.  From 2 BTC to 1 BTC.

Assuming the USB sticks are still 333 Mhash/s, that's a 50% reduction in price.  We can infer the new pricing of the new improved blade.  That means the new Block Erupter blade will cost around 25 BTC retail from the original 50 BTC, assuming the hash rate is still 10 GHash/s and newer gen chip is coming out in October.  This means the new blade will not have newer gen chip until October.  Most likely the improvement is power reduction.  Roughly 2.5 BTC per Ghash.


Friedcat said, "If you reach the total volume of 1,000 USB sticks, price is dropped to 0.89 each. We will also pay back the price difference of all your historic transaction (timeline started from the 0.99 pricing) of USB sticks."  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=217104.0

Also, 1000 new USB sticks are 1000 BTC.  About 10% discount.  To get the same type of quantity discount, that means 1000 BTC/ 25BTC per blade = 40 blades purchased by the same party.  Like a sales incentive.  

25 BTC per blade at 10% discount equals 2.5 BTC refund per blade.  Wow.  

Unfortunately, Block Erupter blade is still more expensive than BFL on dollar per GHash.  BFL is $60 per GH.  Newer priced blade is $250 per GH.  Assuming $/BTC is 100 and the new blade pricing is similar to the above estimate.  BFL is shipping, although in limited quantities and there is a huge back log.

BRND could be the first  ...watch in the AM!!..thanks

i got pass thrus of pass thrus 4 sale warren jimmy buffet status..lol

I agree with you on that S.MG does have a chance at succeeding if they try hard enough
Maybe a crowdfunding site with bitcoins for game design they have the equity they should use it
Anyways I do think that the product of PR and their dev team will be interesting

S.MG is promising, but I fear a long way from fruition.

What would be really interesting is if a small game team, or one of the indie ones that has had some success, decided to come to Bitcoin to fund their next project.

I actually do think S.MG will end up with an honest effort and game(s) to show for it, but an experienced team could really make some waves sooner.

Otherwise gaming is a bit short
Go price Go
If I had more equity would probably invest in the atm design idea for bitcoin from the convention in San Diego

share prices approaching 3.5 this weekend.  I called it!

No, VCs are all over bitcoin now, so it's less likely to see a garage-startup now.

The easiest way to speculate on this topic would be to ask yourself who is currently innovating in a way that satisfies bitcoin's future needs. What does bitcoin need most as a service or product?

A great example would be Gyft.com, except they aren't publicly traded, and likely never will be (in bitcoin at least).

Gaming is another untapped area. Gambling is oversaturated, but still waiting for a player with a large marketing budget.

Consulting, Mutual Funds, who knows!

I agree.  Anything out there that looks promising?

The next AM-level stock won't be a mining company.

what company is the next AM?

OMG!  what a deal, give me 1,000, please!

Yes! You get one share for every BTC 3.50 you donate to the International Cat Frying Society

let's go party ~~~For the Friedcat We trusted.
