furuknap: Not according to the numbers I've run. In 2 years, the bond will have repaid itself many times over and still produce small (ie above US Treasury, but just barely) profits.
furuknap: It is more profitable in a two-year timeframe with all the assumptions coming true. If any of them don't then all hell breaks loose...
ThickAsThieves: yet you dont prove whther it is actually MORE profitable than AM
ThickAsThieves: because you also argue that the stock of 100TH would be very profitable
ThickAsThieves: you should disclaim within the numbers too
furuknap: I can't control what people do. I can only give them the numbers.
furuknap: No, it's explained just befoire the numbers.
ThickAsThieves: people will gloss over your walls of text
ThickAsThieves: furuknap, while you mentioned repeatedly in text that AM sells hardware and 100TH bonds do not have that benefit, you exclude hardware sales from your outlook numbers. This is misleading, no?
ThickAsThieves: i think 3.0 was the peak
ThickAsThieves: furuknap, the 3.3 sale was a glitch
furuknap: http://coin.furuknap.net/can-100th-really-be-the-next-asicminer/ <- Again a somewhat simplified analysis. Take it for what it's worth.

furuknap: Two hours left of the crypto-trade deadline... Which number is this, the sixth?
trzu: they are worse than bfl
ThickAsThieves: no point hacking yourself without taking some coins with you
fiat500: im looking for an alternative to bitvps
ThickAsThieves: with this inside
ThickAsThieves: I got an email from them
furuknap: It's not terribly important, though.
furuknap: I just need a number to illustrate reinvestment cost to maintain hashrate, but my Google-foo couldn't find a friedcat mention of that number.
furuknap: Right. So either they stop mining or they pay some sum of money per TH, and I believe that number to be $10K.
fiat500: no, i wouldnt even do that today
furuknap: They're only abale to do that because nobody else is shipping. Will you still pay $5K for a 10GH/s in one year?
fiat500: why would they do that if they are selling 10GH/s miners for $5k?
furuknap: Didn't I read that ASICMiner can put 1TH online for around $10K?
furuknap: How much of an increase was the last retarget in percent?
ThickAsThieves: it was 10%+ i think
furuknap: What was the previous increase btc? Just to have as a point of reference...
furuknap: Actually, since 10% means 20% per month, 5% would be better, but I don't want to be too unrealistic.
ThickAsThieves: even better reason to use 10%per then
ThickAsThieves: and that it we might see some weeks where its more
gribble: Next difficulty estimate | 13355540.2437 based on data since last change | 12915952.6158 based on data for last three days
ThickAsThieves: i think we've been getting closer to 10% per
furuknap: Not looking for formulas right now, and difficulty really isn't part of that equation at all :-)
furuknap: And is that just a complete random number or do you think it is based on at least some rational thought?
ThickAsThieves: that gives you an easy number to make a formula with too
furuknap: We know it's not going to be 10000% or 1% so it's somewhere in between.
furuknap: Impossibe to give me your best?
ThickAsThieves: there is no way to give a good estimate
furuknap: I need to be proven wrong again... Give me your best estimate on network increase (in percent) per month over the next 12 months on average.
Chaaang-Noi: i think it might peak near 1 btc each if his preorders hit at the right time
Chaaang-Noi: it wont get better than AM ever imo but it was undervalued when i bought in massivly at .115
Chaaang-Noi: it was the best before AM
Chaaang-Noi: it was the mining company btw
deadweasel: i dunno, i figure it's the ltc of mining, but I was gonna take a look
Chaaang-Noi: hmmm, i guess i can get off to that
error4733: kakobreka : yes, drama of the day :)
error4733: ;;eightball time to short AM ?

fiat500: fuck em anyway, charging 6%, what is that
orkaa: it's not that perfect it would seem
Chaaang-Noi: fed jail time
Chaaang-Noi: yeah he did jail time
ThickAsThieves: i forget the name
ThickAsThieves: i think he's a convicted criminal actually
Chaaang-Noi: also wait times
ThickAsThieves: AM can just sell for 10% less than them
ThickAsThieves: yep, and then when BFL or womever does ship
Chaaang-Noi: once auctions were 70 btc plus we were like fuck.. lets do this...
ThickAsThieves: and then make a jump to a tertiary market
Chaaang-Noi: but we more or less picked this path like 2 months ago
ThickAsThieves: they need to plan to capitilize on that
ThickAsThieves: and if they plan to exist long term
ThickAsThieves: selling hardware at the highest quantity and cheaper than competitors is the real cashcow
ThickAsThieves: I was already caring less about the growth of their mining farm
ThickAsThieves: he merely helped me clarify my desires for them as a company
ThickAsThieves: i'm not saying mp turned me skeptical on AM
ericmuyser: they should be doing that, more R&D
fiat500: a 300MH/s usb stick that generates < $1/month isnt that
fiat500: ThickAsThieves: its a bit of a stretch though, HP built hardware that people could do work/play on
Chaaang-Noi: <ericmuyser> "i want 0.02 divs!" *buys in and loses 0.8 from the drop* you will be even in a month :)
ThickAsThieves: and then wanted to move on to other types of biz
ericmuyser: "i want 0.02 divs!" *buys in and loses 0.8 from the drop*
ThickAsThieves: because HP didnt want to the PC business after they got it
ericmuyser: much more than the actual divs
ericmuyser: fiat500: yah but it hypes their value
ThickAsThieves: yesterday I mentioned they could be like HP
fiat500: ericmuyser: they are even less to us
ericmuyser: fiat500: but i dont think the divs are much to them really
ThickAsThieves: just saturate the world
ThickAsThieves: thats the way
fiat500: their only hope right now is to cash out big before the nethash skyrockets
fiat500: the more they wait, the longer it will take for them to get started
ThickAsThieves: including themselves
ThickAsThieves: they need to be the vistaprint of mining
Chaaang-Noi: fiat500 i agree, but they are buying lots right now
Chaaang-Noi: right now they have shit loads of btc to spend
fiat500: Chaaang-Noi: at this scale they shouldnt be paying divs out, they should be reinvesting and trying to get their hands on as much hardware as possible, soon
Chaaang-Noi: i bought into AM just cuz they were in china
ThickAsThieves: due to low costs
ThickAsThieves: which makes it more likely that any notable competitor of theirs would have to also be there
ThickAsThieves: is that they are in CHina
deadweasel: paranainc: that's a helluva drone!
ThickAsThieves: parlaying their resources into a tertiary market
ThickAsThieves: while sorting a way to transcend the traditonal mining market
