Also, one note regarding all this jabbing about how much dividend should be paid out: None of us isn't going to decide it. Friedcat (and his team, maybe, I don't know) holds over 50% of shares, so we can argue here until the last block is mined and it's not going to have any effect. About all these people who have made lenghty comments saying this and that about Apple or Microsoft or any other unrelated company, is there anyone who owns even 5000 shares that entitles to a seat in the board?

Tat owns 666 Evil Dude will need to make it 777 soon ha-ha if not already
The exchanges are around 1000 now and havelock's is just a week old so the passthrus will get a seat it was part of the release based on the combination of shares so yes in time it may be allocated a seat

Today's volume and price behavior is a blip in the life of ASICMINER. Do you know how many shares have been imported into ASICMINER-PT this week? Maybe 500 or so. G.ASICMINER? About 200. The TAT assets? about 200. Yet somehow the average price is still over 1.7. Only about 21% of the publicly held shares even exist on an exchange. My point is, MANY people are still buying, and MANY MANY more are still holding.

On the topic of other businesses AM could pursue that would increase the value of Bitcoin v fiat.

Assume that AM achieve this by leveraging their expertize in designing integrated circuits at low cost and in volume.

We know from history the value of Bitcoin will rise if more people use it. So put a chip in many hands that rewards people to own it but requires them to use Bitcoin to realize its value. I'm not thinking mining-related like the Erupter Blocks, something else. Something that billions of people could possess. I'm thinking whatever the 'it' is, it could live in a mobile phone.

PocketMiner! Great idea!

USB-powered, but with internal battery and wifi. Put it in when you're home to charge battery and mine at higher speed, put it on your keychain and mine whenever you are near an open wifi-zone :-)

.b

See smart ideas that can play on AM's strengths and help develop bitcoin putting it into mobile phones could be an expansion of the business
Nice one Pocket as for who can make the decisions well the board will but I'm sure they will accept input and ideas too shareholder proposals etc brainstorming does help

Trading Phones for wifus Hmm I guess that's a form of aids

But helping Africa solve some currency issues i'm all for that

I'm interested in what happened in Africa in the 1990's and 2000's. In many parts there infrastructure is poor, and liable to being unmaintained, stolen, or destroyed by conflict. Many parts of Africa have good mobile phone networks, though, as they're relatively cheap to deploy and can be deployed in numbers to provide redundancy (or even just moved around on trucks). If you said to a villager in many parts of Africa that his mobile phone can generate $2 a day if it does Bitcoin, he'd probably offer his daughter to you.
