Weather the joke meant to or not, it clearly affected someone's decisions and the market. To me it only looks like market manipulation thinly veiled as a joke.

Weather comes from the sky.

Please read my posts, no effect and no market manipulation.

2013-08-13 21:58:03   Market Buy   12000   ฿ 0.005992   ฿ 71.904

not to mention thousands of smaller ones with several in the 2000-3500 shares range

From what I can see this forum and btc-cc share the same time.

If that's correct then that 12k market buy on btc-ct was at 12:58 which is a full hour and 2mins after my parody news post and a full 30mins after my post saying it was a joke. So that makes it totally unrelated.

Only 4 trades on btc-tc taken inbetween my posts, as I said they totaled 100shares, and in the 30mins after my redaction a total of 200 shares bought over many small market buys.

= no effect.

Hello everyone,

I'm in with ActM but I've to say I've always been suspicious about Ken's reliability. That's why I've sent a lot of e-mails to eASIC to have a confirmation about a relationship between them and VMC, and few days ago I received a reply:



my question:
Quote
Dear eASIC,

The Virtual Mining Corporation and his CEO Kenneth Slaughter are claiming that are involved with you to develop a 28nm ASIC chip able to mine bitcoin, and it should be the actual state-of-art in the mining bitcoin field.

I know that these are probably reserved information, but I'd just like to know whether such a relationship exists to avoid scams and inferences about you and the VMC CEO.

the answer:
Quote
Hello

I can reveal that we have engaged in discussions with VMC, however those discussions are protected under NDA. Therefore for further details I would suggest you contact VMC directly

///Paul

I hope this is interesting for someone of you Wink

The guy that just posted fake news should seriously be banned.

Do you realize someone could of bought a million shares expecting them to have prototypes this week, only to learn later that the post was fake?

Someone could of lost a lot of money because of your stupid joke. I hope you're happy with yourself...

PS: I hardly ever call someone out like this on the forums, but this is just plain wrong.

And I think that if some one buys a million shares after some random non-affiliated dude makes post should clearly pay for his stupidity.

Really? Nobody thinks that the stupidity of the joke post outweighs the stupidity of the large purchase?

Weather the joke meant to or not, it clearly affected someone's decisions and the market. To me it only looks like market manipulation thinly veiled as a joke.

Seriously, if you buy a million shares because of some claims done by a random person on a forum (not directly affiliated with ACTM at all), you display such poor judgement that you deserve to lose money.

It was a bad joke, and that's all.

Apparently someone did purchase 12k shares right after the joke post. It may or may not have been related. The fact is I'm not coming here for entertainment purposes. This is serious shit and any FUD, trollbox, bickering or joke posts can seriously affect this delicate and fickle market.

At the same time, that buyer, if he did buy b/c of the "news" took a risk by not waiting to get the official word. Wait for the news, or risk it and beat the potential surge of buys.

He chose poorly.

Ken and the engineers have ordered special 'glue guns' from 'Tim's Springfield Hardware Store' so the process should be quite rapid!

Someone bought 12k shares on BTCT shortly after that post Wink

Ah that's what happen, I was wondering why there was a large trade a few hours ago.
It's interesting watching things unfold here on the forums.

That was also a joke hence KSGuys wink.



During the 30mins (11:46 -12:46) between my parody good news and me posting it was a joke (as soon as I saw some thought it was real news) we saw:

One trade on bitfunder only, which was a purchase of 4 shares = 0.020btc value

and

Four buys on bct-tc to a total of 100 shares = approx 0.5 btc. The rest of the trades were small sells.

So I don't see any effect and certainly no 'large trade'.

It can only affect this "delicate and fickle market" because some people are stupid enough to base their investment decision on what some random guy says in a public forum.
Don't just believe what random people are saying without some critical thinking. And that doesn't just go for bitcoin, that goes for life.

I give that "fake news" a lol. And if someone indeed bought 12k shares because of it, that's another lol.

Again; I'm not here for lulz & entertainment.

Scary actually

Yes that was a fucked up Joke, but he's not D2M.

I suggest that his credibility is deflated and with more of the voice of reason and time, he'll regain what was lost.

Ken et al - Would it be possible to give us a little heads up on when you next expect a little news for us? :-) Also interested to know how the board selection process is going.

I'm more or less all-in on ACtM
I realise it was a mistake.

Yep, that was not wise investing.

Never go all in on a single asset.   Never put all your eggs in one basket.

Hedge, or you go crazy and blow gaskets.    Wink

I'm pissed because you were one of the "voices of reason" on here. Now I just wanna hit ignore.

I'm trying to do my best - like a lot of others are here and a fine job they do. I'm more or less all-in on ACtM so don't want to do anything that damages the company or it's partners as that would be self-defeating. Again sorry to anyone who took it the wrong way it won't happen again, I realise it was a mistake.
