First of all, I don't want to do business with bitpay because they are in bed with BFL. 

So you used Mt.Gox instead - strong logic!

In anycase, so use coinbase then and get it going already.

You want to sell to the btc community but don't accept btc ... you MUST know this is a huge flaw right?

I think its clear that either this project manager is one day a month guy or Ken is a one day a month guy. Two questions:

1) Ken how many days per month do you spend working for this company?

2) Do you own/run any other companies and how many days a week do you work for them?

I work full time, 7 days a week.  I have 1 other company, it runs itself.
So then why does it take over a month to fix the website? Why can't you sign up for Bitpay and install their prestashop plugin in an hour to automate bitcoin payment?

First of all, I don't want to do business with bitpay because they are in bed with BFL.  Second, there are a lot of other things going on in the background that need to be taken care of, i.e datacenter, cash flow, lawyers, MSD, customer service, just to name a few.

Hmmmn, tricky.  Go with the new poster whose first post started with a personal insult or take the advice and recommendation from an established and respected shareholder?  What will Ken do?  Tricky.

Edit - Maybe Ken wasn't even talking about his project manager working on Bitcoin website integration but was referring to the project manager creating a product which was more plug and play?  Just a thought.   Wink

The website should also take Bitcoin as payment.  I know Ken will take Bitcoin if someone emails him, but it should be straight forward.  Bank Transfer is the real problem.  That and it probably should come with the cooler.  Or have another SKU that includes the cooler with it.  It's easier for people to buy Antminers that are plug and play than it is jumping through the hoops to buy the arguably cheaper boards VMC is selling.

Our project manager is working on that solution.

Coinbase's fees are free up to the first million then 1% after that.  Please use coinbase merchant services.  I work for coinbase so PLEASE Ken or Project Crew if you guys need help ask me.  It is the cheapest option short of creating your own button.  Please feel free to contact me !!!

I'm unsure as to whether or not ActiveMining do any actual accounting of any nature, but if they do Bitpay's QuickBooks integration is a clear separator between two reasonably similar offerings.

Just email Page @ bitpay and she will figure it all out for you, it takes 60 seconds. Your project manager is way too busy to deal with something like getting payment options to boost sales.

I just google'd "bitcoin payments prestashop".

The bitpay link was the first one that popped up. I hope it wasn't that simple.

It literally is that simple:) Also, Bitpay has had a Prestashop plugin since November 2012. So this isn't a new thing.

Ad maiora!
Our project manager is working on that solution.

There's incompetence, and then there's just plain stupidity. This is an example of the latter.

1. Sign up on Bitpay. Use their start package with 1% fees if you're just testing, or pay your $30 a month for no fees.
2. Download their Prestashop plugin from here or clone from the github repo
3. Follow the 5 steps required to install and configure it

Oh look! You now accept Bitcoin! And it pays out in USD and/or Bitcoin in whatever ratio you like!

Do you want me to invoice you for the time I spent explaining this? Or better yet - fire your "project manager" and hire someone that has 2 braincells and we'll call it even.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Seems not to go that fast now anymore. Sent a hour ago and nothing yet.

What i would like to know now is what income we made from selling miners, what funds are left from IPO and what part of all that, including mining income, will be given out as divs. Would be important to judge the shareprice. Future profits have to be guessed, until ken doesnt come with infos, too.

Drop us a pm with these questions and we'll be sure to add them for Ken's attention.
