That word, I don't think it means what you think it means.

A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

I was on the board of advisors for ActiveMining, now I'm not.

To the first point, are we supposed to be impressed that there is a bet that a whopping 11 people have taken part of, and 55% (6) feel that ActiveMining will be a profitable investment?  Wow, that is some grade A logic there.

Second... How does lewicki stating that he is resigning his post as a board member qualify him as a shill?

ACTIVE-MINING 4 LIFE!

Fully agreed. A+ post, from one lurker to another.

Personally, I could not agree with you more. While everyone else has been arguing about FUD stuff, I was able to increase my holdings of ActM stock by 14%.

Like you, I believe in ActM for the long term.

that is what excatly what i wanna say!!!

In this bitcoin world, everyone seems far more impatient than in the Wall Street world. I realize that things move faster, technologies involve and change, and the difficulty rate increases. Nobody wants to get left behind putting their money into something that will become obsolete, or miss a better opportunity. I personally have accepted this current timeline and for me the eASIC announcement was enough to solidify my belief that this will pay off.

If some catastrophe were to occur and Ken was not able to deliver what he said he will, I will accept that this is a much riskier somewhat insane form of investing. If it pays off as big as I believe it will, that will be because this is a much riskier somewhat insane form of investing. Whereas I think more information is always helpful, I also personally don't feel entitled to the daily updates everyone is always wanting. I don't know to what things Ken wasn't listening to the board in order to have them all resign, but this is a very new thing and the board had not been in place for that long. I realize that despite these being virtual stock shares, this is not a public company subject to the same parameters. The board was put in place to advise Ken, and it sounded like they were doing that and in some regards progress was being made to bettering the company. To immediately resign perhaps is reflective of the expectations of immediate results that the bitcoin investing world seems to expect.

I am going to continue to trust Ken with the results I am expecting in the coming months. I expect the stock price to either sit or drift downwards until we have those results or until dividends begin to be paid on the presales. I realize this is probably at least six weeks out from now. This isn't so much a cheerleader mentality, but rather the mindset that I got into this expecting something big after the eASIC chips are made, and as far as I know that is in progress so I stopped worrying in the short term. Nobody wants to lose money. After the initial share walls fell and the price began to climb that felt great. When it began to sink I was first disheartened but then stopped worrying. I remembered that I didn't get in to this as a speculative daytrader leaping from stock to stock to make short term profits. I got in to this to reap the longer term rewards of the eASIC partnership and the product this company will manufacture. Nothing has happened to discourage me from my belief that the future is still very bright in that regard.

Oh look, iCEBREAKER's back with another round of FUD.  Guess that means he's ready to buy a few more shares. By the way, how's that ICEDRILL IPO doing for you?  Oh... Wait... I forgot.  I have you ignored.  Oh well, guess I'll never know.  Quick! Log back in as crumbs and post another witty photoshop macro.

Are advisory members selling their shares?

   What a giant waste of time, money, and effort.

"With deep regret?"  LOL, have fun "spending more time with your family."

Besides designing a billion stupid logos, you accomplished nothing.

I told you all a Board of Cheerleading Yes-Men was a worse than worthless pursuit.

Look at how much the share price has tanked since the Board of Cheerleading Yes-Men appointment!

I don't mind being resented, reviled, vilified, and ignored.

Being proven absolutely correct was completely worth 'enduring' (IE enjoying) the screeching of the haters.

No.  More.  Logos.  Thank you.

can we please fuck off with the logos already?  We need to focus on something more significant to increase hardware sales, like a new group buy...

It sounds like they wanted to call the shots, and weren't willing to accept anything less.

Not if Ken was unwilling to actually take their advice.  The board was merely there to advise, not decide.

Mobile device.. Sorry

*would've

Sorry, huge pet-peeve.

Sorry guys, you guys would of made a big difference here. Real shame

I think the writing has been on the wall for sometime.  I really hope people keep in mind that the Advisory Board were just that, a team of volunteer "advisers."  It became apparent that their vision did not coincide with Ken's.  At the end of the day Ken held the position that he could do whatever he pleased, for better or worse, seeing as it is his company.  I don't know how this will affect the company moving forward, but I am glad that the guys who have been working hard over these last few weeks were able to accomplish what they did, and can now catch up on some much needed sleep.  We'll see where things go from here.  I will say that we need to really stay on top of Ken, and insure that he does deliver on hiring the PR team, which is without a doubt ActM's weakest aspect at the moment.  

Thanks guys, for all of your hard work.

That is our (ffssixtynine lolstate vbs lewicki) public resignation letter.
