Dear Brandon Lu / XY Jiang (aka "friedcat"),

As of Dec. 29th, 2015 (today), your records should show that I have 450 shares of ASICMINER associated with the shareholder address: 1PYMwZt98TfTj8hWYKaEHUmubALqPC1Kgq

I am writing to let you know that I am permanently surrendering and relinquishing all rights to these 450 shares and, furthermore, that I have not received any payment or other consideration for them (i.e., they have not been sold or traded to anyone else).

You may update your records accordingly.

P.S. With apologies to "dhenson" -- trust me, if ASICMINER makes a roaring comeback, I'll be more upset about this than you

For this message to carry any meaning whatsoever, it would need to be signed by the address mentioned above.

I don't think the IRS places that kind of burden-of-proof in its audits (obviously, since digital signatures have not spread to the mainstream yet... even most lawyers (!) I've spoken to don't know what they are). If the IRS required a digital signature during an audit, I could do that then.

As far as friedcat/ASICMINER, he hasn't required digital signatures for share transfers in the past (even if maybe he should have).
