How are things going regarding your business plan? Did you account for the sudden network hashrate increase? How is the international expansion of ASICminer coming along?
The business plan is unchanged. The network hashrate increase was still under our projection. The total hash target originally set for the end of this year would probably achieved earlier.
The ASICMiner expansion via franchising is still much within China border. The internationally deployed portion will dominate when the gain of operation cost outweigh the delay and cost of international shipping/assembling abroad.
Just realized that I initially read this too quickly. In the quote Friedcat actually confirms that franchising has started within China; he just states that he won't be franchising outside of China soon. Therefore, since last week's dividends went to reinvestment, the fall in hash rate might be due to the franchising and we would not be able to tell.
