Double plot twist: It was Labcoin making the purchase.  Shocked


 Wink
Triple twist it was just me trying to see if customers where actually asked to pay.

Proof: login on yopmail with "cattogocy-7562"
I even put 22 Acacia Avenue as an address (obviously fake right?)

What I didn't expect was the announcement here before any actual payment!

I'm actually more inclined to believe this than it being a real order. He might have got wrapped up in the moment, but if i was him i would have just kept it on the hush.

Hodl!
Are there any other companies out there that can can provide over 147 TH/s that can be transported in a transit van and not take three articulated lorries?

Middle African translation.

By the way, if Ken had just one 24TH/s miner running we would be in the top 5 rankings for team and user on btcguild, that in itself would be insanely good marketing for this company. So I believe the first 24TH/s miner should be pointed at our btcguild account to raise awareness.

EDIT: and according to http://dustcoin.com/ just one 24TH/s miner can pull in about 20 bitcoin per day. Thats a dividend of 1400 Satoshi per share.

If someone has made a million dollar order they will know exactly when they will get delivery. This isn't some kid  ordering a 1k machine on his dads credit card.

Except the site says in November, is this really going to happen?

I hope it does, we seriously need to start moving orders and hashing.

I agree that customers should not be mislead, if that is happening, but what do you think increased the hashrate? Ken has at least one prototype and we have evidence of that now. They exist.

True we do have a prototype (probably) but its not a 24TH/s beast. I think the mining income from the extra hash power represents between 1TH/s and 2TH/s at most.

I would have expected our own hashpower to be 100TH/s before we started to send out these miners. But either way if we can get several million dollars from shipped hardware that would be good too.

I just want 3% of the network, I have worked out that is my breakeven point and I hope Ken can get us there.

To make a dent in todays hash rate you need the really big numbers.  Now if you or some company or group wanted to invest $1,000,000 into bitcoin mining machines, who would you buy from?

Are there any other companies out there that can can provide over 147 TH/s that can be transported in a transit van and not take three articulated lorries?

Oh I agree, but so far we don't even have one of these machines in existence...

Also the store says that the orders will be shipping as soon as payment received. Ken this is deceptive.

Are we even able to ship one miner before the end of November?

I checked the price too on the VMC site, before seeing your post as I thought this might be the case.
But yes the quoted price is market price not cost price.
Therefore; I'm sure it isn't for "our" own use and seems it is for a legitimate buyer.

Unless this is confirmed by Ken to be otherwise (ie, paid in full, BTC or otherwise), Im going to assume this is a fake order. Cant imagine spending $1M and paying list price.

FWIW, to see accepted payment options and delivery cost, the only way I found is entering a 'fake' order, so you can already deduce my $996 order from the November revenue, because I have no intention of paying for it.

I am sure Ken is not selling himself miners. If he was any profits would have to be taxed meaning we would simply be sending money to the tax office for no reason.

A million dollar order  Shocked  not bad for a day's work!

Twist: The $1M order was Ken's order for the ActM mining operation.


That's exactly I thought.

The exact figure he posted is what the price on the website is for 6x Platinum machines. We would pay cost price wouldn't we?

Who would get the profits Matt S?

there is no profit on cost prices. we only pay the manufacturing expenses.

decentralize EVERYTHING...
kslaugther... why is the deadline for sending the shares to amc-tender tomorrow when we have another half month time with bitfunder? I wante do buy some more shares. So what happens if i miss the date to move my shares to amc-tender?

Also, there are approximately 470 addresses with ActM shares. What happens to those that didn't transfer their shares to AMC-TENDER?


could someone please confirm the deadline for share transfer is 14th of November? I can't find the post that had this info in it.
