Shitty thing to do, but it seems par for the course here. If I was looking at a 5 or 6 figure investment in this, i'd probably be thinking of doing the same, haha.

I get the hyping the imaginary machine bit to pump shares - but what's with claiming Zumzero paid him 5BTC and making out he was a member of the Slaughter family and saying the company is a scam?

Oh for sure; i was referring to the pump side of it all. Unless he's also Zumzero, that's not cool.

So let's get this straight.

A week ago VE as Canadianguy posted that he had recieved a VMC mining machine and was watching it pump out BTC while he supped beer.
He offered to sell the machine via PM for ACtM shares.

Then a few days ago VE as Canadian guy said ACtM is a scam and that he didn't have a miner atall. He said he was paid 5BTC from zumzero to lie about having the machine and that zumzero was a Slaughter. (He has not shown any proof of PM's from Zumzero or a blockchain transaction for the imaginary 5BTC.)

Now VE is back and showing interest in ACtM shares being listed and acting like nothing happened.

OK they are the facts. Now can someone try to explain the rationale behind his tricks of the last week? What was it for? Is he mentally unstable? He veers from huge supporter to death-threat issuer by the day. What is wrong with this guy??

Well thats a bit compressed. From what I recall, upon mention that we were looking at getting listed on an exchange, VE'd attitude moved more towards cheerleader. Then CanadianGuy popped up claiming to have a machine.

I assume this ruse was mean to crescendo past the official listing/start of trading of shares so he could get out entirely.

Things have dragged and he's probably as tired as the rest of us, since this stretched out over a couple months, and has been painted into too small a corner on the alleged machine and has aborted the plan.

Shitty thing to do, but it seems par for the course here. If I was looking at a 5 or 6 figure investment in this, i'd probably be thinking of doing the same, haha.

i cannot believe that refunds are only by cheque and not in BTC, I am flabbergasted that this seems to be a minor detail.

Yeah, with bank delays none-the-less.
Oh, and they haven't written many checks from this account, so either they just aren't getting the requests, or a new account was open to process money. Strange, but don't care as long as that cash hits the bank for use.

When can Ken reveal more about intellihash; what it's is, what it does and how it works? I would like to be able to understand what makes intellihash a 'game changer'. Thanks.

Intellihash allows the chips to actually work this time - thus, "game changer".

Its a joke, kids.

I don't know if any of you read gwern's Blackmail Fail piece but imagine my surprise when VolanicEruptor's name is mentioned...allbeit by the clearly disturbed blackmailer, for some reason I don't clearly understand. With all the crazy that VE has exhibited I can't help but want to imagine he is the blackmailer in the story.

It's long but I found the story quite entertaining, or you can ctrl+f to find the mention.

It's getting harder and harder to blame him. Having a not insignificant amount of money locked up for an indefinite period of time really grates on one's nerves. That coupled with this trainwreck of a thread makes me want to go full troll as well but I'm trying to hold back (not much fun kicking something when it's down + could only serve to harm my own financial interests).

The Guess Who? sock puppet game was fun at first, but now it's just paranoid "anyone against ActM = crumbs" and "anyone for ActM = zumzero or stuartuk) where in fact now more than ever negative sentiment is understandable if not completely expected.

All we can realistically do now is wait till Wednesday's update and hope for good news... Oh, and troll this thread mercilessly, though that will accomplish at least as little as waiting and hoping.

Good luck to all!

i see you guys don't want me here, so i'll leave. I a not VE

Cmon, you're joking right? Its pretty obvious...(just from what i can see while riding the bus)

- VE begins posting mid-June, right when CG stops posting (until recently re-popping up claiming to have a unit).

- Both people are from Canada; CG as per name, and VE according to his posts

Quote from: VolanicEruptor on June 23, 2013, 04:11:11 PM

This isn't fair for Canadians. I want to order 1000 USBS. However, I want to take advantage of my previous 50BTC order so that I can get 50BTC off, but WTCR in Canada won't be able to honor this. It now seems that Friedcat is screening out Canadian emails as he hasn't replied to me for quite awhile now, as he probably wants me to deal directly with WTCR. Bullshit.

- Both discuss having purchased 50 asicminer USBs

Quote from: VolanicEruptor on June 23, 2013, 08:06:53 PM

I won't get the 50 BTC rebate though for my previous 50 unit order. Did you miss that part? It was never a question of not being able to get 1000.

Quote from: CanadianGuy on June 05, 2013, 11:01:41 AM

sweet, thanks! Waiting for 50 USB's today, want to hook them up to a little notebook so hopefully it meets the other hardware requirements as well

- Posting times during the few days of profile overlap always line up; one will post at 2, the other at 2:45, then the first at 3:30 kind of thing, in unrelated threads

Then its just little things like Kevin O'Leary references..

Quote from: CanadianGuy on May 31, 2013, 10:59:15 AM

. oops I thought i was kevin leary for a second there..

"Your product SUCKS, and with your unrealistic valuation you are nothing but a bottom feeding PIG. I despise you.
So I'll make you an offer...."

yep, sounds about right Cheesy

Then there's this beaut from VE to CG to justify spreading the rumor

Quote from: CanadianGuy on December 17, 2013, 11:25:20 AM

The difference is you asked for a refund, so that would explain why you have not received the machine

your refund is being mined as we speak

0.5BTC if you show me proof via PM

Well not like anyone cares, but I said I would update on my status.
Received a refund check last night (arrived 4 days after their response of processing the refund).
Bank now has a hold on it either because of the bank, the account, or possibly to verify.
Must wait until around the 16th, argh.

Thank you
