You are right about that. Thanks for a reasoned reply Crumbs
Reasoned? Activeminer's 28nm chip is being developed by easic, we know that, it is on easic's website. easic isnt a small bunch of amateurs, there is absolutely no reason to believe they wont pull this off easily. As for the CEO's capabilities, Ken may or may not be a marketing guru, but at least his websites work and when BTCT closed not only did he manage an orderly migration to bitfunder in next to no time, he said they had foreseen the closure of both exchanges and had already developed their own trading platform that would operate from Belize if the need arised. Now thats what I like to see in a CEO: foresight and bold actions.
Lolz. Foreseen? Burnside *told people* that he would be closing his site to American investors when the news of Pirateat40 FinCen case hit.
Allow me to quote:
"Probably I'll have to close it to US participation though as well." See
here.I commented on it *in ActiveMiner thread* (
see here).
At that point, everyone with more neurons than a fruit fly *knew* that the exchanges were going to fold, one way or another. Sure, he was asped by the mighty interwebz warriors, and posted a limited retraction the next day, but those whose synapses weren't fused by syphilis germs got the message loud & clear.
Now compare that to the labcoin boosters who bet their money on a very inefficient 130nm chip thats supposedly developed for free in a university by a student no one's ever heard off, is being deployed by a company who's CEO does internet sales of mobile phones, but doesnt have a public website. A chip they claim 2TH of which is deployed since a few weeks, but of which no pictures, no video, no nothing has been shown. The only "evidence" is that they are sometimes mining at ~800GH at a pool, but most people suspect that is obtained with avalons and bitfury's that Theswede is known to have bought.
Oh and they have a future 65nm product under development; the only guy working on it is only working on its IO periphery, he doesnt know who will do the rest, and claims he himself is probably not capable of designing the core, is not aware of the 130nm chip, has no clue of a timeline for the 65nm one other than that he expects his part of the design to be ready this year.
Yeah. By all means, sell your Active miner shares and buy some labcoin.
activeminer may or may not succeed, but Im quite confident its a very serious attempt with fairly good odds.
What in the world makes you think that those with money on Labcoin believe it will succeed? Labcoin is getting traded like the proverbial read-headed stepchild. It's used as poker chips. Everyone is playing musical bag-o-dick. Learn to gambling, pl0x.
And what makes you think that people divesting from one idiotic playvestment will instantly invest in an equally lulzy one?
