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?

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?

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.

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

+1

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

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.

(Pictures aren't showing properly on the forum, will look into this later, for now follow the links.)

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

So 20,000 chips = 5.3 Th/s ?

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.

Nope.

I believe these major shareholders have been approached
