This might have been covered already but is there any info on asicminer branching out into other territories?
I can't imagine china's increasing hostility towards bitcoin is doing them any favours, especially if the day should come where they need the cooperation of a chinese bank for whatever reason. Some aggressive regulating could quickly prove to be a liability for asicminer, it might be prudent to have some kind of plan in place before it becomes an issue.
I remember friedcat mentioning some vague intention to go overseas a while ago, was there any followup on that?
