"Insiders information,,," What the heck are you cozing about ?

I might as well remind you 95% of the few information we can gather about AsicMiner are being relayed through board members, AKA Insiders.

Wiki Linking to Martha_Stewart CEO friend,... I hope you start to feel off topic soon.

A specific example would be knowing that the chips are going to be delayed, or don't work. Martha Stewart was put in jail for trading on knowledge that a drug wouldn't be getting FDA approval the day before it was announced, for example.

Actually, Martha Stewart was put in jail for lying to federal investigators and not for insider trading.

Yes, but her CEO friend, who she got the information from, did go to jail for insider trading. 

Anyway, it was an example of the specific kind of information that could be considered illegal for an insider to trade on, since you asked for one.

And the way the Feds got her talking (vi haf vays to make you talk) was by slowly destroying her business with accusations & leaks: http://www.lewrockwell.com/lrc-blog/lying-to-the-state-which-lies-to-us/
As mentioned in the article this human sacrifice was supposed to make the sheeple Fear the Law -- and apparently it has.

With your SEC, FBI, IRS threats you are just a bunch of whiny pathetic babies.
Act like men for god's sake!

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
Given the situation, I think this share would never get approved on BTCT.CO.

If true, this would make me feel much better about having shares on BTCT over Bitfunder.

You mean the BTCT that fell all over itself to gushingly approve the BTCGarden FAILSCAM?   Grin

BTCT doesn't even claim to be a real exchange, it's a self described game, a practical joke with monopoly money and pretend make-believe securities.

Nothing against Burnside, who I like and respect, but the credulous petulant children who approved GARDEN and hate/fear/resent iCE.DRiLL shouldn't be trusted to something something wet paper bag, much less blah blah map, GPS, and flashlight.   Cheesy

wow, that is the best you can come up with? i was expecting more. I guess you are just loud-mouthing without knowing what you are talking about then..

When you need to stoop down to attacking personally, it means you have already given up the fight cuz you know you are wrong. i am so disappointed. oh wait, may be I shouldn't because why should I be?


can you justify what kind of info would "affects the stock price that the rest of us do not"?

If you are serious you need help.

The heated water generated from the ASICs will go directly (out) toward heating a newly-built, medium-sized (20+ floors) skyscraper. Exactly how much of that heat will be re-used is unknown at this stage
Exactly zero of the heat will get re-used, it simply isnt at high enough temperature to be of any use whatsoever.

GPUs would run at 90C, could probably feed a water heater if you could extract most of it.

In the future ASICs could be engineered to run hotter in order to provide heating.  Mining rigs can certainly be used as space heaters, that's for sure.

Without a precise example, how can we know what you are talking about?

You can't seriously be asking this....you honestly have no idea that these guys have access to info that affects the stock price that the rest of us do not?
Or is that entire post facetious?

Sorry, I don't mean to diss you but I don't think you understand the real definition of insider trading.

Precision of language is very important from a legal aspect. So, I would love to hear what you consider as 'insider trading'

In the United States and Germany, for mandatory reporting purposes, corporate insiders are defined as a company's officers, directors and any beneficial owners of more than 10% of a class of the company's equity securities. Trades made by these types of insiders in the company's own stock, based on material non-public information, are considered to be fraudulent since the insiders are violating the fiduciary duty that they owe to the shareholders.

Would you please give us some examples of 'material and non-public information' that can be used adversely against DigiMex shareholders?


4) This was my favorite of all the posts - insider. Can those people help me define what you mean by insiders?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insider_trading

I would like some edification on how you define as an insider and how he can benefit from buying shares of DigiMex. 


You quoted the wiki page but don't seem to have read it?

Pre news release trading - it is really not a difficult concept.

Are you suggesting that the 1st investor in a new company may only invest once the entire world has been invited?

Perhaps he's suggesting that if the number of shares and their price are allowed to be changed at will during an IPO, what, exactly, is being sold?  And how much of it?

and your point would be?

oh and just a note, i definitely know what is an 'insider'. I need to deal with that definition everyday. That is a part of my real job everyday.

Hi,

BitCoin newbie here. I couldn't help myself to chime in because of all the fuss related to regulators and what not around securities dealing which is my cup of tea.

1) Does everyone know how an IPO works in real life? Prices and offer sizes get changed all the time due to investor demand. It is just part of the IPO process. (Please study ANY IPO process out there)

2) Regulation around IPO - would someone please point me to regulation around IPO regulated to BitCoins? Last I checked, there wasn't any. Yes, there are defintiely laws around Ponzi schemes and general stuffs around collective investment schemes but is there any evidence? Are you guys busting out pre-emptive strikes against Ponzi schemes now?

As a side note, if you want to quote SEC, please note that it means you agree to SEC's regulation on your own dealing with BitCoins as well. Oh, once you agree to those, I am sure the IRS won't be too far behind the SEC.

3) In the banking world, the term for bulk transactions are called 'block traded'. Blocks are definitely given discounts/variances to market prices.  Would SEC challenge that? No. It is still being used by banks and fund managers everyday. Unless SEC stops block trades, which law can regulate this?

Then my question to you would be, if an insider is buying, shouldn't you? Not that I agree with this but there are many journalism out there that recommends investments by following insiders' trading trends.

Batch one has been sold out.
Batch two has been put up for sale.

//DeaDTerra

I expected this.  It was pretty clear to me it would be sold out since DeaDTerra was very calm about not putting the shares on https://btct.co/‎ since it would take too much time.  This meant he knew the shares would be bought out.  Otherwise, he would have put it on btct.co to get more investors on board.

?? I'm pretty sure water will get heated above winter temperatures.

Anyway, Electricity cost of 450Kw/h vs profit will be irrelevant for a long while.

One point about this that I believe could be a future game changer:

The European Parliament debates on and brings in laws across the European Union (US-based readers may or may not know much about this). All EU countries must and do, almost without exception, abide by EU law. Now the EU are largely VERY progressive especially on 'ECO' matters - they had for example started the phase out the use of high energy-use incandescent light bulbs by 2009, whereas in the US a similar ban has still to come into effect and in California for example it wont do until 2018!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_incandescent_light_bulbs

What this means is that the industrial use of electricity by BTC mining companies may be heavily taxed in the future in Europe while in the US it remains unregulated for far longer. The EU parliament has a history of introducing eco laws that are unpopular with business but are popular with the public. I think it would be very easy for btc mining operations to be priced out of the EU given enough bad publicity about 'wasting' massive amounts of electricity. Germany has decided to abandon all of it's nuclear power stations       http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_transition_in_Germany     by 2022, they are planning to go completely renewable. Power is an incredibly hot topic as a result in Germany and Germans are generally very eco minded. So it's easy to see them putting pressure on the legislative body/European Commission to introduce a carbon tax on BTC mining across the EU.
