On another front, it's important to make sure we can get someone with an eCommerce marketing eye on the board. I am tired of reading articles about 28nm manufacturers coming to market and not listing ActiveMining. We will need to be on the radar as a serious competitor to sell real volume. The product cycle is too fast to wait to be proven as a retailer that ships units - we will miss a whole generation of hardware. It's ugly but you really do need to presell.

ASICMiner has been able to sell their hardware at a premium since they are the only company with any ASIC mining products readily available. As 28nm products come online later this year from Cointerra, BFL, KNC and HashFast, among others, the market should mature towards an in-stock model
I agree with this. We need more public exposure for our products and our brand as a whole. With so many new competitors in the market, it's important to maintain a good presence, of which we currently do not have much of at all.
My thinking is that this is something that will be further addressed and remedied once the chips are closer to production and have undergone some testing behind the scenes, etc. We don't want to rush and spread news of an untested, and yet unseen product as others have done, as this can create even more problems depending on how things turn out in the future.
What I've learned in the btcworld is that we need real hardware or real planning. Everything else is not much.
