Thursday weekly update

Directly from friedcat himself:

---

A lot of great thing happened last week. We wiped over the obstacles (infrastructure and paperwork) on deploying and put a lot of our available hashrate online. We also did a significant improvement (power, design, appearance) on the USB stick from the sample batch to the production batch.

For the discussion in the last few days, what we... I could say, is only that our IC design team had achieved fantastic results, as everyone could see and compare, with the most limited funds (barely more than 100k$ raised last August) and most inferior mask-set of choice (130nm which belongs to the antiquity era), and I'm proud of it.

Wednesday Dividend Update -- 8 May 2013

For the week 1-8 May 2013, the dividend was 0.01108519 BTC per share.

Dividend projections.
As of this moment, ASICMINER is operating 18,530 GH/s of hashpower, which is estimated at current difficulty to produce 5,825 BTC per week, after 10% fees/maintenance, or 0.0145 BTC per share per week.
If ASICMINER continues to grow at minimal rate of 3 TH/s per week, we will see at least 21,530 GH/s of hashpower, or 6,768 BTC next week, which will be 0.0169 BTC per share.
If ASICMINER grows at 7 TH/s per week, the dividend will be approximately 0.02 BTC per share.
If ASICMINER meets top growth rate estimates of 10 TH/s per week, the dividend will be approximately 0.0224 BTC per share.

The latest news up to 8 May 2013.

This will be the central repository for friedcat updates.
After each update, responses to/analyses of the update will be taken from the main ASICMINER thread, conglomerated and categorized (bullish reaction, bearish reaction, profit estimates, etc).  They will then be posted in a single, short summary post after the update.

I hope this serves as a more organized shareholder information thread than the main thread.
