.... Will anyone step up and make a F.A.Q. like this with the NEW questions/concerns?

Please for the love of god stop covering up every question with "NDA", while that might cover one or two of the questions, it's not valid for most of them so don't use it as a blanket.

Let me fire up that FAQ of yours from another end Wink

LOL

Questions and ideas banned from "The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread"

Never ask for:
1) roadmap
2) high level project plan (task list, back log or what ever you like to call it) with milestones, dates and cost estimates
3) detailed, short term project plan with milestones, dates and cost estimates
4) regular updates (based on 1-3)
5) financial statements like CF, PL
6) update balance sheet
7) ....

Did I left anything out?

Bargraphics I've got to admit dude - you are feeding the trolls and I'm tempted to ignore you as well... just a bit of feedback.

A page of posts bragging about users currently on ignore,
threatening to ignore users,
telling each other who to ignore, and
vowing to ignore more people more often.

"And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee"
"Ken is my shepherd, i shall not read"
"In the land of the blind, a one-eyed man is lynched"

Keep circlejerking, kids -- if you don't read it, shit didn't happen, amirite?

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

ACTM's BTC conversion process is completely unrelated to eASIC's NDA, which covers things that happen after the NRE is paid (not how ACTM raises the cash for it).

Even if Avalon/Yifu hadn't stolen our chips, 66% of spec hashrate at this late date is an even worse, completely separate fiasco, because we don't have working boards on which to put them.

According to Ken, an eASIC press release will not be released in the near future, much less this Fri/Mon.

ACTM's reason for using eASIC's Nextreme, faster time to market, no longer applies as HashFast, etc. tape out far more powerful full custom 3rd gen 28nm chips.

Because of his demonstrated honesty and merit, I hereby appoint Bargraphics Vice-Chairman Emeritus for life.

If ActiveMining doesn't tape out until late September, they won't have their chips till when, January?

theyre taping out right away. Joint news release with easic and activemining expected by monday. My advice: invest in labcoin and activemining. They will both be big players.

I don't even know when we will do a join press release, so it can not be expected Monday.

Looks like VolcanicEruptor got called out by Kenneth trying to execute a pump and dump, press release not on the horizon.

Oh, I completely understand, my point wasn't for him to break the NDA but perhaps release some information not covered under the NDA which he would obviously first get permission to release. I do feel that other topics could be discussed such as distribution plans, price point, marketing opportunities, ideas for the website (besides that it needs to be updated, I know some people posted solid ideas which is great.) Basically I think people want Ken to update us on ActM the company. Obviously some of this stuff would be jumping the gun, and these are just ideas, but that's why we're here, no?

With regard to the NDA, it's a deliberate catch all for a very good reason. There is no way around this without risking the project and there isn't a good reason to do that, even though it's frustrating for all of us.

The other points are all good and are under discussion as we speak. They are also examples of why a regular key shareholder meeting will be held.

The advisory board has only just been confirmed and will gradually work through as much as we can. Please also bear in mind that we're volunteers who have day jobs and families. We'll work our butts off to make this project great though

Meanwhile, this thread keeps being hijacked which is getting in the way of meaningful discussion. Anything that you or we say or want to discuss will just get hijacked I'm afraid. Welcome to Bitcoin Talk Securities!

StuartUK, please can you ignore them now and don't reply at all. Make the thread better for the rest of us.

"If you order now, I would not expect you to take delivery of your unit until sometime in February."

Only a tiny number of them ordered within the first couple of days of orders will make it into the November / December delivery window.
If you look at http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ that means these will almost certainly not be profitable.

Wooow....

didn't realise it was spotted before. the guy is a slimey creep and his obsession with running down this company can only mean two things, he is clinically insane or he is trying to manipulate price for some reason. does anyone actually think he has any icedrill?

It seems as if you have more of an obsession with him than anything tbh

I think you will find crumbs is icebreaker - one in the same. Check out the crumbs post history for a few pages - reference to Marx, frequent posting of comedy pictures, occasional foreign phrase quoted, very similar sometimes identical writing style.

lol that was my suspicion right from the start. The fact you developed the same suspicion makes this very likely indeed. He must have a lot of time on his hands. He is picking up cheap shares constantly, but the time to do that is running out. I talked to gerald today (ken was out) and things are going to happen fast here in the next week. Get ready for good times.

If i wanted to blame anyone, i would have. I'm not saying that you should distrust anyone. I'm simply pointing out that Active Miner is currently mining at less than five percent of the predicted rate. If you're happy with this, buy moar shares.

You said "ActM have blown" their projection by 95%. If you're attempting to say this isn't implicitly trying to assign blame, well, I'll leave it to other readers to form an opinion about that.

If you are not a native speaker of American English, i understand -- neither am i.
I'll help you out with the quirky colloquialism "blown." It roughly means failed, missed by a large margin. Its use in a sentence:

Active Miner expected to hash at 6,377 GH/s by the middle of August, but miscalculated by more than ninety-five percent. Boy, have they blown it!

If you feel that missing projections by 95% is *not* pure fail, what is?

Quote

I'm not exactly happy with this specific outcome, but I don't see it as evidence of incompetence within the ActM organization. It's simply misfortune.

Corporate management is judged by results, or at least ability to evaluate risks & make accurate predictions. Active Miner failed to take this "misfortune" into consideration, or chose to ignore the possibility. This is indicative of the fun to come.

Enjoy.
