Just curious, what benefit would a marketing campaign provide to shareholders? I speculate that there is no shortage of people willing to buy ASICMINER hardware (at this point, at least.)

I think the only thing that a marketing campaign could do, we also include having a store front, where people could buy machines with say, credit cards. I guarantee that if credit cards were accepted, there would be a great deal more ASIC's sold by AM. Purchasing in BTC is a limiting factor for some. But with that of course, comes risk. But still, there is enough word of mouth, that paying for ads still may not benefit because they would probably sell as fast as they could make them at that point.

I agree that a way to convert fiat into mining hardware would be beneficial.

However, ASICMINER would have to then convert fiat to BTC to pay dividends. It feels clunky.

Not saying it's a bad idea, it's just a bit logistically challenging.

I'm not saying that AM should do it. I'm just saying that's the only market segment I think they are missing.

Anyone with BTC that wants AM, knows damn well about their ASIC's and what is available. People with credit cards would be the larger untapped market, but maybe that is a spot for a reseller.
