Neither of you seem to understand the complex possibilities of new innovative technology.
There has been a sudden upsurge in fault reports, this is not 'normal'. They are not all firmware related. Posters are saying quality of product has deteriorated since the shipping of order 500+.
So maybe you get the idea now? If you show no interest in what others are telling you because you think you know it all already you just live in your own little bubble of 'I am right'. Well I decided to have a look at the site and found out some facts. You two just spouted something from yesterday that you think will be true tomorrow. The world changes every second of every day, try keeping up.
hey mr. pot-calling-kettle-black (aka minerpart) - are you seriously telling everyone that you believe that ACtM is and/or will be better than KNC? without any current proof to back that up other than your feeling? seems bargraphics is proof that they produce a pretty nice product, and have produced a lot of it (with total network over 3 PH/s now, we know that all that added hash isnt only coming from BFL, ASICMiner, and bitfury). that isnt to say that ACtM cant and wont produce a good, timely product. even IF they do it doesnt make KNC's product any less good, and doesnt take away from the fact that they are adding/have added a shit-ton of that total hash (1.5 PH/s according to bargraphics, though that number seems high right now, maybe thats the total amt they have sold) to the network before ACtM even put out 1 MH/s. maybe KNC will fall by the wayside (like ASICMiner seems to have) and ACtM will be right there to pick up all the willing buyers. let's hope so for everyone's sake that has $ invested in ACtM.
so to recap - KNC current has a product that is shipping and a lot of people are mining with. ACtM does not. bashing other companies (KNC, ASICMiner, BFL, Avalon, etc) that have actually put out a product and are PROFITABLE will NOT make ACtM make and release their product any sooner. if you feel you must resort to bashing other companies because you dont have enough positive info to cheer about with ACtM, then you need to take that up with Ken.
disclaimer:
believe me when i say that i hope all this works out for anyone who has $ invested. i dont want people to lose money, whether i like them or not. but if you lose because you put a bunch of money into something that you dont really know about, i'm not going to feel sorry for you when you complain that things didnt happen according to original plan or didnt go how you wanted.
EDIT - and in case you didnt know, the difficulty jump that just happpened was almost a 50% increase.EDIT #2 - apparently I am an ACtM investor again with a grand total of 8 shares (thanks to someone on cryptostocks.com for filling some of my low bid amt).
This is a fabricated piece of nonsense! You have an awful habit of putting words into people's mouths and spouting absolute untruths. If you are going to insist on posting in this thread as a way of massaging your ego, at least have the decency to read other people's posts and report what see with some sense of accuracy. And for the love of God would you stop quoting yourself, highlighting random phrases in bold and use CAPITAL LETTERS at the beginning of your sentences!
Anyone who thinks that KnC are not having major issues with their products is deluding themselves. Right now on the forum the first 8 pages (10 posts per page) are filled with complaints about faulty boards, unexpected shut downs, unit failures, dead units, disabled cores, firmware update issues, locked 0 GH rate, core errors and dead dies.
The vast majority of these posts across the first 14 pages of the KnC thread are reporting units that do not hash at the advertised rate. So people are not getting value for money.
If that was ActM and I read the forum, I was sell my shares and run for the hills. I don't care if any of you justify selling dodgy electrical equipment just to make a profit but I expect more than that from Ken.
Bargraphics wouldn't be saying how happy he was with his Jupiters if his post was on the first page of that forum, that is for sure.
No, we need to learn from other companies mistakes and even if we delay shipment, we need reliable products that do what they say on the tin. That way people come back to buy more, words spreads and we all make a killing. This is no smash & grab but clearly our competitors see it that way. So let's build a reputation and create a feedback loop of success.
