furuknap: I've only seen him post in Russian, thought, and my Russian is a bit rusty.

furuknap: It is bitfury. So far as I've researched now, and excuse my noobishness if this is obvious, he's a Russian guy that had some incredible talent with FPGAs and then went on to design ASICs.

furuknap: I just wanted to know how many IPO shares they sold so I could put it into a model to see if it's profitable.

furuknap: Namworld: So far, the Swedes are the ones that attempts the smallest process of 28nm. Current AM is 130nm. It will take a long time to get smaller process right, as I understand it.

furuknap: I'm not a girl if you were asking me...

furuknap: Actually, I wasn't trying to make a point of it, I was just responding to a question about what I thought of the project. From the projects I have evaluated, those were distinguishing characteristics in addition to a growing confidence that such a delivery is technically feasible. Two months ago, I probably wouldn't have given it a second glance.

furuknap: Of course IF (again intentionally) this is legit AND they deliver within a reasonable time frame, the proposition is a gold mine, perhaps more so than AM even.

furuknap: I understand that, and I eat so much salt these days, I'll be a mummy by the end of the summer. This doesn't smell right though (and right here would be scam).

furuknap: Again, it seems way too much effort for essentially peanuts. I don't know. Might throw a few coins there to see if it sticks.

furuknap: Deson't matter if they care for it. They could have done it without. IF (and I capitalized that intentionally) the people in tne BP are the real people and not just a Google image search, what possible reason could they have for adding their names when they don't have to?

furuknap: Well, I doubt he'd risk his name and reputation for a few million either...

furuknap: Faking a couple of results from their bio work would probably yields orders of magnitude more reward. They're putting their own names on the line so they'll have to disappear anyway, so why not scam for $50million instead?

furuknap: The business plan, the picostocks setup, the putting your name on the line. At the time, there weren't asking for much. It's become a lot since then, but at the time, I mean, if you wanted to scam someone, at least you should do it big.

furuknap: I think the entire community is skeptical due to some key providers being late and scams. AM showed it's possible. The swedes work with very reputable companies. 100TH certainly has put a lot of effort into what at the time seemed like a peanut reward.

furuknap: On 100th? Not sure. It looks a bit too good to be true.

furuknap: Exactly, but to get there, there needs to be a desire for professional information that is more visible. I'm testing the market with a new mining book in a few weeks (maybe a couple of months, depending on whether I move from Norway). Having some experience from publishing, I'd use that to understand the market and what people want.

furuknap: Yeah, I'd love to do that, MP, but seriously, I'm not a finance guy. I understand the math, but I'm more technical than would make me a financial person of any repoute.

furuknap: Yeah, but you also thinks the math looks like it support a price above 1.8.

furuknap: Think of it as a web base database with tons of services and user configuration and db design. It's an accident waitning to happen (and has happened) but it's widely adopted now.

furuknap: Yeah, the early stuff was pretty bad and distributed in two versions. One free was an extension of SharePoint and a server verson which was nothing of the sorts.

furuknap: Yup, at least the ones that are available. I've done a couple of private ones too. All IT, though.

furuknap: You can hang on for a couple of days and the next one is out free. I'd be happy to send you other copies though.

furuknap: This one is free. It's part of a test I'm running to see if I can get a better way of providing information to people. My other 20ish books cost around $20 each.

furuknap: SharePoint is a business app platform from Microsoft.

furuknap: mp, I'm mostly recognized in the SharePoint community where there are two community players that run highly successful ad servics for bloggers and services. I've reached out to one of them who is also a sponsor for my next book and asked whether she'd be willing to look at a similar service for BTC community.

furuknap: I realize people buy on far more than ROI. I don't. Even if the price goes up to 2.5, it will still be within what I'm perfectly comfortable 'loosing' by just taking 1.10 per share (and even a bit more since I got a few of the waves right).

furuknap: No, I'm assuming there's no support for a price above 1.50ish even at twice the rate that friedcat predicts.

furuknap: I've doubled my money in a month and not taken any risk. I'm perfectly capable of living with not getting the last few drops of the can.

furuknap: Nobody ever lost from walking away with a profit.

furuknap: Right now, we're rapidly trending towards negative ROI if friedcat achieves everything he says. That's not a chance in hell.

furuknap: No, it wouldn't, and that kind of argument isn't really effective. There's a major difference of evaluating risk and not standing a chance in hell.

furuknap: There must be a serious correction or a lot of people are going to be very angry at the cat.

furuknap: It's priced now as to not stand a chance in 2016. That'll kill a lot of dreams...

furuknap: After reading a bit now, I vote for nutter too.
