AMHash1 IPO is 18% filled with a week to go, and the topic thread is rather quiet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=833704.60

It seems like an unsuccessful IPO is a real possibility, which would not only be a depressing outcome for the offering, but could also lead to a negative feedback loop of lost confidence in AM.

Let's face it -- IPOs are about intrigue.  If I were FC, I would declare a special dividend to AM shareholders as soon as possible, making clear that it's one time only. The amount isn't important -- but going through the motions of a dividend will turn some heads and be a great opportunity to put the spotlight on AMHash1.

I don't think it's unfair to say that lots of people have forgotten about AM and regard Havelock as a place where investments go to die. If AMHash1 is actually a quality offering then it should sell itself once people know about it. I think an AM1 special dividend is the way to get that done.
