I invest in both these securities, and find them to be strategically structured in similar ways. ActiveMining I got into earlier in its history so therefore I have reaped greater profits, yet ASICMiner has paid very good dividends as long as I've been on board (even though divs have dropped, still very nice)
My problem is, in the bitcoin world, especially the world of btc securities... there is not a hell of a lot of information available, and most of my news comes from here. I have to read through the sock-puppetry and FUD to try and glean what useful news I can. I have found that the ASICMiner threads are super technical, arguments about math etc. which, even though it is the worst sort of nerd-core pissing contests, still inspires faith in that actual tech-heads and people who likely understand the dev side of things are gravitating to ASICMiner (a good thing). Meanwhile, the activemining threads are all arguments by passthrough holders voicing their invalid opinions about what to do about supposed avalon rebates, if they even materialize. also many, many more sock-puppets on the activeminer threads.(not good)

I wanted to start this thread to create a forum for arguments for or against ASICMiner or ActiveMining, pros, cons, etc. A comparative survey, if you will. The respective forums for these two securities have become a cesspool of fanboyism, fantasy, weak attempts at market manipulation and butthurt FUD. They are impossible to read.

Lets do it in here and give everyone else a break, ok?
