He has let AM shares crashed without blinking and now there is another IPO out of the blur?! Thats not professional. Thank you.





FC is busy for Prismas production and BE300 these days,He will update soon when he is a bit free I think. All of AM guys are working hard as possible as they can as I know. The profits are kept for Prismas and BE300, as we know,there are lots of BE200 that are waiting to be produced to mining devices,and this needs money.



AMHash project is absolutely a good news for AM shareholders.

Glad to hear that FC and AM / RM are working hard. Hopefully there will be some kind of financial report soon. Glad to hear that FC and AM / RM are working hard. Hopefully there will be some kind of financial report soon.

Im primarily an AM (and Fc) supporter. But the thing is, the share price of such ipo is just gonna tank because the divs will eventually fall back to none as the gear becomes obsolete (kinda deja vu dont you think?) And then what? New ipo?



I think you are misunderstanding AMHash. As an AM shareholder it makes no difference to you whether the divs and share price of AMHash tanks over time because AM won't be receiving divs from AMHash (if all the shares get sold), just like AM don't get any BTC from customers mining with Tubes and Prismas. What AM gets is the up front purchase cost of the miners or the costs of the shares in the case of AMHash.



So, people buy the AMHash shares now, AM gets that money now (only from the initial sale of a share) and the people who bought the AMHash shares get the BTC mined by their 1 Gh/s shares until they sell them.

Development

The 28nm BE300 engineering batch tapeout was in September 16 with TSMC.

The power efficiency is 0.225W/G to 0.343W/G ranging from core voltage of 0.55V

to 0.70V. The two main mistakes made in BE200 were dedicatedly addressed and

avoided in the whole design stage so we do not expect surprise in frequency and

power consumption in real products.



14nm/16nm projects are at pre-evaluation and pre-design stage. It has to be done

in 2015 but the starting time of placing orders depends on overall gain vs (NRE/R&D/risks).



Led by Block Erupter Prisma, a series of efforts to reduce component-wise

cost and system-wise power efficiency were made.



Production

As known by OEM producers, several large batches of BE200 had problems with

popping chips affecting whole boards due to the misoperation from the packaging

company. It hindered afterwards chip sales and delayed the starting time of

Tube/Prisma sales. Later supply of BE200 has no such problem and filtering process

on old BE200 is also underway.



Because of the non-open-source status of Prisma and high cost of all other designs, BE200

sales were stopped. Rest BE200 chips will likely be consumed by Prisma and succeeding revises.



The mass production time of BE300 in terms of chip-out date is February to March, 2015.



Operation

As sales were seriously hindered by unexpected yield issue of BE200, we had missed many

dates with financing the big mining farm of our own. It is still hopeful that all good BE200

will be turned to hashrate before too late and we have liquid profits again before BE300, but

from the big picture, the missing of target on BE200, the mis-judgment on OEMs and later

yield/financing problem, limited our expansion and profit in this year. But luckily R&D on later

products is not much affected.



AM will continue to develop new products, expand its mining farms, deliver machines to miners,

as well as make money for shareholders.



There is no any foreseeable plan from AM side on force buy-back, dumping, or any

activities on the open stock market. There is no plan of privatization either. The management,

R&D, sales as well as marketing is being more and more separated and dedicated to professionals,

but the founders will continue to be heavily involved and drive AM in the more and more competitive

market. Scenarios of BE100 vs graphics card may never happen again, but we need catch

any opportunity on timing window of leads at either technology or deploying/financing resources

to win the last battle when mining is still an under-capitalized game.
