For those wondering how to verify an address is linked to a certain amount of shares:
-look up the claimed bitcoin address. In my case: https://blockchain.info/address/1Fg2fMyDfSWpChDCNoKZokz1XyybEQtBDM
-look at the received transactions on Wednesday afternoons (that's when ASICMINER sends the dividends to shareholders) and see if the address received transactions from ASICMINER dividend payments
-in my case: the last received transactions was on 2013-06-12 13:42:11 for 7.9822842 BTC. Last weeks dividends were 0.03628311BTC per share, so that makes 7.9822842 / 0.03628311 = 220 shares on this bitcoin address. Proof of divididend-height: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=99497.msg2450946#msg2450946. You can do this for other weeks as well, but notice that I didn't always have 220 shares, I bought them over time.
-if you want to, you can look up the origin of the dividend transaction as well (it's all on the blockchain

-all that's left is me prooving that I own the claimed bitcoin address. That has been done via a signed message in the OP of this thread.
I agree that it's a bit of a hassle to look these things up. If you don't trust me you can of course wait for friedcat to confirm it himself, absolutely no problem.
