So Monday is the expected tapeout day, correct?

Give or take, I wouldnt expect to see FC run here as soon as the 20th hits China though.

That said it will be a fun few days when the news comes out probably Smiley

But if we all go for the blonde...

Ha-ha well Friedcats server room Asian is taken

Yeah, even if the tapeout actually takes place on the 20th, the process itself isn't instant and it needs to be determined, that everything works fine. Then they can start producing the chips.
I expect FC to announce something by then. So if there's nothing on the 20th, wait at least a couple more days!

I think you mean 20 unless I am adding 9 + 11 wrong  Grin

In which case selling the 11 set and keeping 1 makes sense the other 9 and 1 can be merged later lol

Next FC update will skyrocket price share.

Next time FC sneezes shareprice will skyrocket.

Only if he sneezes in public.

From my point of view ASICMINER is the only reasonable investment opportunity in the world of BTC mining. It will most probably flood the market with petahashes of reliable, efficient and well-tested chips and tuned immersion cooling accessories. I suppose it is the only vendor which will be able to deliver large-scale mining solutions and start a whole new segment - industrial mining.

I don't know how about KNC, but HashFast and CoinTerra doesn't seem to be able to produce and ship hundreds of thousands of chips/miners. They probably won't be able to gain larger portion of the market in the nearest months.

I expect AM security to experience huge income of new investors in the upcoming weeks/months. Price will probably rise substantially.

"to be or not to be, that is the bitcoin"

So this is the speculation thread.

Here's some speculation: This is the calm before the storm. That container with the liquid cooling is real. Gen3 is real. Heads are down, working hard, at AsicMiner. Share prices have reached the inflection point, though it isn't immediately obvious because of the low trading volume. Dividends have reached their low. The time is nearing when AsicMiner will be back on the map. March is not that far.

I bought a few more shares at 0.5X. No other investment except Neo & Bee is worth the risk. Face it, nearly everything has been a loss (even AM for me, I got in on the downswing and never got big dividends) except these two.




neo and bee? can you link me? just bought in for some petamine shares on a short term speculation over the next month... may well sell and diversify.

Apart from that, I agree on your sentiment around AM price at this time, plus quoting to bookmark this thread Smiley

First 100% Liquid Stablecoin Backed by Gold

I was musing today about where mining will end up, and how governments will be involved.  Any thoughts on the feasibility of this sort of government miner distribution (below) and whether there is a future market here?

This is a solution I feel the community is looking for - a small RaspberryPi-esque device which allows me to host a full node apart from my main PC. Ideally such a device would have some small amount of mining power, to distribute voting on the protocol rules throughout the network but I am not sure what type of adoption would be needed to take any percentage of the network hash rate away from institutional miners. But lets think about it.


In the end game mining chips are going to hit a ceiling and technology will advance slower than today.

Governments with a vested interest in Bitcoin may find it beneficial to distribute these slow-hashing nodes to the population and provide a tax credit to pay for part of the electricity. This could use previous generation tech and still make an impact:

Current hash rate: 15,000,000 Gh/s
Population of france: 65,700,000

To get half the network hash rate each person would need to poses ~250Mh.

About 1 AM USB Block Erupter seems like a lot but as asics catch up to current chip-fab technology improvements will slow: the previous gen tech will have an impact much longer and be cheaper.
What other benefits might this have? Well France would secure 50% of mining fees for its population. The network (and France) would be more protected from the attack of another nation state. Decisions about the protocol would be distributed away from mining pools and miners, further increasing network trust.
For Rpi simple nodes check out Nxt.

So many things improbable in this scenario its really not worth addressing them all. If a gov had a vested interest in btc you could bet your ass they wouldn't waste money giving out rasp pies with usb block erupters. The whole point of btc is to avoid some sort of complex gov controlled scenario just as you described.

Better to leave governments out of the equation. This is a global currency. Think globally. We don't need nation States controlling bitcoin. Kind of against the whole point of it.

i wanna sell at 3BTC/share , but i'm a dreamer

Haha why "dreamer"? Wink Its possible with 10-20% of the network + sales of fully assembled containers with 3gen Wink just be patient ...
