I estimated sample chip delivery as being on 11th October, as the earliest possible date.

Ozymadias estimated sample chip delivery between 11th October and 18th October.

By your own supposition you had conservatively estimated sample chip delivery as being 31st October. There are only 20 days between these three estimates.

We know that Ken informed us that we were hashing with 'other resources' on 30th October.

If the 'other resources' Ken mentioned were indeed the eASIC sample chips then the range of 11th October - 31st October fits very well indeed if we just bring your estimation forward a few days.

If they were not sample chips then whatever chips they were would have arrived coincidentally, within that same twenty day window.

My hopes are up!

EDIT: If this is not the case, then looking back at our timeline, the only solid information we have is from 4th September which was the eASIC press release. In which case ANYTHING is a possibility.

My problem with this is the announced delay... for "intellihash" whatever sorcery that is.

Hey Vince, the dates you offered have the sample chips arriving 1 day after Ken announced we were hashing with 'other resources'.

You're assuming "other resources" means easic chips, I don't think it does, I think it's more likely to be some fast hash 80's which are avalon clones.

I respectfully disagree, we had all 10,000 of our Avalon chips refunded. All the hashing power that is accounted for at the moment are 6 avalons and 68 klondikes. The only other hashing resources we could possibly have (unless 3rd party hardware was bought and not announced, which would be a majorly stupid and deceptive move) are our own chips.

Ken is known to have been working on FH80's so the 1.6TH of the avalons/klondikes isn't the only known hashing power. We don't know if Ken managed to pick up some chips from somewhere or what really. It would only take about 4000 avalon chips to make up the difference in hashrate.

Don't get me wrong, I hope like hell it's eASIC chips, but I'm not here for a circle wank nor to get my hopes up.

Did "we" definitely receive the klondikes?

In the process of purging this thread. Come on people, I don't care if you fud or have unpopular ideas, as long as they are at least somewhat on topic.

Seriously. The fact that I had to subscribe to this thread so that I could proactively moderate it speaks volumes.

If you see an off-topic post (this post excluded, since this has become bad enough that I feel that this post is necessary) PLEASE just report it. DO NOT REPLY! The moderation team is quite sick of spending over 30% of their time babysitting you guys. If you get a PM that says that your post was deleted by a moderator (not the starter of the thread), take it seriously. I'm tired of this crap.

Why was my post deleted when all I did was contest an inflammatory and derogatory post by Crumbs? Not sure why I should be getting a slap on the wrist for doing nothing wrong.

It was for being off topic, I had two posts deleted due to that little kerfluffle

What does everyone think about this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/13NA7X1u18CgGa7RzTDyvuuoLJtLRvXgke?offset=450&filter=0

Look at the date of the first transaction (September 9, 2013), and the press release dates are Sept. 4, and Sept. 9

That address belongs to a mining entity/ manufacturer that goes by "Pierce and Paul" due to them adding the phrase "For Pierce and Paul" in the coinbase message. For now they run 1.6% of the network hashrate. More information can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77000.340

Whoever was stalking Kens family members on Facebook a few days ago, can you check if he has any relatives with the names Pierce and Paul?

Yeah I was able to get that far. Apparently a BTC Guild miner funded this mysterious "For Pierce and Paul". Hopefully it was Team AMC funding an E-Asic address. A bit of a reach, but a guy can dream!

I am making a promise to the company, that if my shares are active on crypto-trade by Sunday, I will give Ken 7 Bitcoins.
You have my word, I swear it on my families graves.

At what price are you profit taking? ( I want your shares )

I have changed my asking price to .003
I won't budge for less, not even .0025

I didn't know peoples' panties got so bunched as to report the posts here. This thread is a joke and frankly should be shut down. Ken should post his announcements in the announcement thread like he does and should NOT have to spend a moment babysitting a bunch of trolls and crybabies. We already have the troll (er, I mean 'unofficial') thread going so this one doesn't really serve any additional purpose except for troll bait.

If Ken wishes to abandon the thread to post in an unspammed topic, he is welcome to move it to Off Topic, and then people would be welcome to spam and yell at each other as much as they wish.

Anyway! If you have any questions, please feel free to pm me. I'm always happy to explain my positions, moderating policy, etc, as the day that I'm unable to adequetly explain my reasoning, is the day that I change it. I tend to leave self moderated topics alone, except for when they are getting swamped such as this one.

Thank you very much! You've deleted a couple of my posts, but upon review those were all fair deletions. Keep that mod/pimp hand strong!

Thanks for popping in and explaining a few things salty.

How about a cooling off period. Let's say for every 10 posts you have deleted, you get a temporary ban and if the same behaviour continues the bans gets longer?

Bannings are useless, just make a new account and troll away. This thread has run its course and my vote would be for its deletion/archival. ESPECIALLY because this is the "Official" thread, it makes ActM look more like a joke than even crumbs thinks it is!

I agree that Crumbs is sometimes entertaining, but he is running out of material fast. He posts the same jokes over and over, while adding a new one maybe every 3 days.
