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?
He keeps reiterating that there's no pressure or danger at the moment and that relocating would be rather easy if need be. He really doesn't seem very bothered by this. In fact, he's actually currently simply designing, producing, and selling electronics equipment, after all...
