Sounds like there is confusion about which Avalon is getting the money (and it's not the BTC mining company).  From another thread:

http://www.xconomy.com/san-diego/2012/09/04/running-on-two-year-cycle-avalon-ventures-lands-200m-for-tenth-fund/


Lol, if this plays to be true the person who wrote the article should look for a new profession
So I guess they just pulled the 20nm thing out of their ass? I don't see how anyone could confuse the two companies besides their name... there is absolutely no mention of Bitcoin although this venture capital firm is investing in Bitcoin startups.

Look at the date: "/2012/09/04/" -- no room for confusion.

the reason Yifu could be absent might be because of this deal, 8M in chip orders is definitely a penny in comparison to a 200M private funding venture, while I dont agree with how the situation is being handled since many of us are being left in the dust trying to figure out whats going on, Yifu is a person and a business man who is trying to become wealthy, sometimes you have to make decisions like this where someone isnt happy and this time we are on that end of the stick,

I dont think yifu is a scammer in any sense of the word he is just prioritizing if this deal is actually real, it also makes BTC look incredibly strong since someone out there is willing to put a quarter BILLION dollar bet into BTC

Who in their right mind would invest 200mil$ into any bitcoin mining operation, never mind a company like avalon after their fuckups ?

Fixed that for you. Wink

I'm of the opinion that if you have $1Bn+ and want to profit in BTC, you buy some bitcoins and you invest in something like bitpay, coinbase, etc. People that have that kind of money and are looking at risky investments are looking to get back a 5X multiple in < 5 years. I don't see it happening in the mining biz...

Well if he pulls that off, it's over for the pretenders on BTCTC.

As far as I know, 20nm is barely real. That could take years for mass production and I'm sure eAsic is not far behind its competitors in R&D.

the sun is shining, but the ice is still slippery
This is all starting to look increasingly more promising. Ken is taking care of share tendering, we have a dedicated PR person, and the technical pursuits appear to be making some solid headway.

I, for one, am excited  Grin

Shhh, I have bid orders in that I want filled.  Stop filling the thread with positive sentiment!  Wink

LOL, true story there folks.

For those like me who were wondering, Ken answered my PM about still-to-be-transfered AMC tendered shares.

Hi Ken,
I read carefully your forum updates but I have not seen you saying that all AMC tender requests sent before july 31 had been completed.
Could you please confirm that you are still in the process of clearing the pre-jul-31 tender queue ?

Thank you for your reply, I hope my shares have not been forgotten Smiley

I am still working on the hard transfers, like yours.  When they get out of order, then it takes a lot more work to verify the transfer. I will be working on those today.

I'm extremely happy to see this PR position filled.

The first comment on here by them I believe has already proven their ability to submit a positive post in a clear and concise manner.
This will help out a lot with "public" perception and investor confidence if continued.

Thank you


The writing style does look very familiar though, which definitely isn't a bad thing  Grin

Changing avatars is currently not possible.
It really does not matter whether this person, the new PR person has a degree in PR, was a PR person for a major music label, worked for the government of Sri Lanka as their PR person, or is a share holder or not. The only thing that is important is that he or she or they provide regular accurate regular information.

What are your qualifications to make such silly demands? Are you a share holder? How many shares do you own?

It seems to me that many people who have a handful of shares, and are worrying about very little come here and then make outrageous demands of Ke, ActM and the other people on here.


Smiley  Just my .0002 BTC

Asking for qualifications does not imply that they have to have a degree in PR and it certainly doesn't equate to demanding. All I'm asking for (not demanding) is to know more about this person. One example of qualifications could be that the person has been involved since the IPO was first launched. Another is, this could be one of the other Slaughter family members that we have not heard from yet.

I thought it was obvious from my post that I was simply concerned with lack of transparency and that it could lead to FUD. I'm not an extremist and I would never make a demand. I play devils advocate to identify what will allow FUD to make an argument.

And if you recall the PMs that we exchanged a day ago, you know I'm a shareholder, how many shares I have, and what my opinion on how bright the future of ActM is.

Edit: and now that I've made that request for more information, and defended that request against distortion, you won't find me harping on this. My argument is out there. Ken can do what he will with it.
