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.

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.

This is great. Thanks to Ken and any others involved in getting us to this point and for acknowledging the value that another team member for PR, etc can provide.

I do have to say that the pics and video are anticlimactic due to their lack of substance. No pics of Avalon chips or demo boards? No video of the device running next to a screen that shows how much it's hashing? I encourage the team to share meaningful photos and video otherwise there is no point and you're giving fodder to the FUDs.

I'd also like to know who the new PR is. He is a forum member?

Agreed. Who is this person and what are his/her qualifications. Is this person local to the VMC operation or remote? Please be transparent or the FUDs will rise.

When can we expect to hear more regarding the eAsic meetings?

As much as we would like to tell you about eASIC, we cannot at this time due to an NDA. Rest assured, once eASIC news is fit for public dissemination, it will be released.

Thanks for the update, I love seeing pictures and videos from the front line. Granted I have no idea what is being measured in the second picture. From the tasks name I assume it's testing the functionality of the Avalon chips by applying a voltage?

Concerning better media:

As was mentioned in the press release, Ken spent an extra day with the engineering firm to get the unit hashing. All of his time was focused on the prototypes, this delayed dividend payments, as well as any time to take meaningful pictures or videos.

The prototype is being shipped to Ken as we speak. You can expect hashing and more detailed videos soon!

Can't wait until this whole manual tender issue is sorted once and for all. Appears to have been an enormous time sink.

Same here now I can relax

Hey, just received my transfer from AMC-TENDER

When did you guys send them to be tendered? I still haven't got mine. Sent them on 23/7.

I will be looking for yours today.  When they get out of sync, it takes a lot more work to get
them verified and transferred.  I will be working on the hard transfers today.  Some
have problems with usernames that are not correct, so I will be emailing the shareholder
for any corrected information.

Hello, this is our first PR post for Active Mining and we are really excited to be able to bring you valuable information directly from Active Mining Corporation!  I wanted supply our first update on Ken’s travels and meeting’s with the Engineering firm in Oregon.

First and foremost, the Avalon clones are operational (built using the 30 sample chips we received), but here is a synopsis as to how we arrived here; the default TP-Link router, we thought initially, was a bit finicky, so we considered replacing it with a Raspberry Pi we had on hand.  Ken and the Engineers worked with the prototypes over the two day duration, and eventually determined through rounds of tests that it was not the TP-Link, but yet it was the Controller Board which one of the Engineers discovered Friday.

After jumping the first few hoops in our testing phase, we feel very comfortable about our clones, but there is still more testing to be performed. Currently the 30 chip prototype is hashing at 6 GH/s per board before being pushed to the normal 8GH/s per board, so that all hardware parts can be tested extensively.

Ken did not return home empty handed, a prototype is on its way for him to bench with.  He is planning on working with and tweaking this prototype to have it functioning optimally in time for the 20,000 chips to arrive from Avalon.

Also, dividends on the shares that were tendered to AMC-TENDER are going to be paid to the tendering address, more on this to follow.

So in short, while we wait on the delayed Avalon chip delivery, we will take advantage of this to test with the TP-Link further, asses stability, and continue our operations.  Below are just a few pics that were taken of the Engineers working.

30 chips = 8Gh/s
1 chip = 0.266 Gh/s

So 20,000 chips = 5.3 Th/s ?

I believe this is correct. Here is the quote from the Overview and Speculation thread in the Q&A section:

A.  Payment for the assembly of the 68 Klondike boards has been accepted as of July 3rd.  The 20k Avalon chips are inbound as well.  The immediate horizon estimates 6,377 GH/s by no later than the end of August.

Hodl!
Great news AM, thanks.

Confirming that my tendered shares turned up, and glad to see this hasn't been forgotten.

This list is from BitFunder and surely there are over 100K share holders on the other exchanges.

Don't you boys agree?

Not necessarily, no. I would like to see more criteria than just the amount of shares held. You can have a lot of money and hold a lot of shares and be shit at helping run an enterprise. I'd like to see qualified individuals placed on the board. I can guarantee you that some of the people represented by these shares would not be interested in a board seat. Some of them might have the share count AND the skill set, though, and I'd be fine to give these individual preferential treatment in that regard.

I believe these major shareholders have been approached
Nope.

In that case if you feel you could apply yourself to the board there would be no harm in sending Ken or the PR guy your CV.
