Finally some good news, I'll be looking forward to this.
To be fair, the eASIC news was good (brilliant news in fact) and the only people who have a problem with anything right now are shareholders who want a lot more info because they want share movement or confidence.
In fact, the only things not going to Ken's original plans are deliveries in Nov rather than Oct/Nov and Avalon letting everyone down. And we're told that a lot more is going on too, just like at other chip companies. R&D doesn't stop.
I'm not excusing communication issues but company plan wise it's still as advertised basically, Avalon apart (and refund requested anyway).
Sometimes it's worth stepping back from this forum where a lot if people shout all sorts of rubbish or make demands they know aren't/can't be met in order to move the share price and stir trouble, or because they just want what they can't have. I try to answer those only once, but when they come back and do the same thing a few days later I'm sometimes forced to repeat myself.
Ken's IPO and public handling has always been poor so anyone surprised that communication issues remain probably didn't do their research. We've been trying to improve it but it won't surprise anyone to know that it's been very difficult. The stress getting that eASIC press release out... you don't wanna know.
I, and the rest of the advisory board, do want to see more hires though. We've worked really hard but, having done this for a few weeks now, it's not an Advisory Board that ActiveMining really need, it's more staff/internal board members and/or paid professional help; hence the push for a proper PR guy (got to start somewhere).
Some people are probably right in saying that Ken is doing too much and needs to focus on engineering. We've filled in as best as possible but it needs people inside the company and not outside of it. We can't take on practical tasks and don't have inside information, and we all have day jobs as it is.
+1, to reiterate the points above.
