Topic: [ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread [Self-Moderated] - page 451. (Read 771288 times)

4 Pages go by and Ken replies to certain posts that are less important than my question.

Ken please reply, are we on track to be mining within the next few weeks or has eASIC been too slow? How long will we wait until mining? Months? January before the first sample chips?

Ken said that.  Please don't make me go dig that up...

thanks ,ken ,i believe in you.

Hey All Just thought I would Give you all An Update The site www.TheFreeBitCoinsList.com Site is Expected to be Up and Live No later then 1st Week of Nov. This is Due to Web Designer Fault and I have Hired Web.com / NetworkSolutions.com to do the Design at Considerable Cost to Get this site up and Live as fast as possible

Upon Launch you will all see a Post from me Announcing the Launch of the Site

Just thought you all would like to know since the Launch will Include the Interview from Kenneth E. Slaughter from VMC.

Thanks for clearing this up Ken.

It's surprising to see this kind of knee jerk reaction from investors who I would expect to have a little more gumption.

Ken can you confirm that the Avalon chip refund money has been put into your Bail fund?

^This is the lamest, most un-sexy cheerleader fight of all time.^

Still funny though.  Let's put you two in a vat of pudding and start making bets on who will start crying first.  

If you had any respect you would tell the truth. No one has said sample chips would be delivered mid October, you are making that up. The chips should be due soon but no fixed date has ever been given. Hypocrite.

If you had any respect for your shareholders you would tell us what's going on with the sample chips that were supposed to show up mid-october.  Keep dodging this, and the question will just keep repeating itself more often. 

Me too! Amazing.

I believe 100% in what we are doing!  If you look at the quote I used, that will tell you the whole story of were I am coming from.  I am sorry that I did not project the confidence that some of our Investors needed.  I am very confident that ActiveMining will come through the hard times ahead with the difficulty rising at over 117%/month.  So as I said "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".  I am in this for the long haul, working hard everyday to make ActiveMining and its Investors successful. 

I think Ken's alleged PM is implying that he is under a lot of stress, but that he is going to persevere and make the company successful. I don't see it as a lack of confidence at all. Ken is just poor at communicating with shareholders I think. A new PR person for both shareholder and public relations is badly needed. Imagine the sales if someone was on payroll contacting the various bitcoin blogs getting our name out there...

For once I agree with you.

This is beyond absurd.  Ken is not a child.  He understood that selling unregistered shares doesn't earn honor badges.  He registered his business in Belize, called it "a virtual entity," got a London mailing address.  He fully realized what he was doing, at least i'd hope he did.
There are no innocents or martyrs here -- only adults who badly overestimated their ability to function on the fringes of the law.  

The odds of Ken, or anyone, getting time for this are slim to none.  But implying the risks he took he took for internet strangers is delusional.

For what its worth I read it like this - he was saying that if he could wave a magic wand and make ACtM disappear he would. Why? Because its a failure? No. Its because of the stress and the SEC. I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't had direct contact from them much like Burnside and Ukyo. That is a seriously stressful set up right there.

Now what the comment shows us is that he ain't no quitter. This guy is the real deal, he is willing to go all they way for us even face off the SEC for strangers on a forum. We should realise his comment is most likely born from the fact that Ken could end up in a cell with other US btc mining entrepreneurs. OK in the end I don't think he would do time but he could be in jail awaiting trial for 2 years if the SEC have told him to shut up shop but his lawyers are advising him to carry on. And so could his (nephew?) Gerald. Imagine the stress on the family.

That is the reality of this for Ken. We bash away on our keyboards moaning about the lack of news and Ken is dealing with the possibility of not seeing his family for a long long time. Give the man a break. He is acting honestly, he is doing his best, he is juggling our demands against the NDA and the SEC demands. Just be sensible and get the big picture that our CEO is dealing with.

+1

If we can start hashing in the next three weeks, all this will be a moot point. But, at this point, it's feeling more and more like a crap-shoot.

He doesn't need to clear anything up.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going, and that is what he is going to do.

We all know he's no Shakespeare and to understand him we need to look at the bigger picture of what he's saying without focussing on the finer details.  I know this far from ideal, but it's what we've got and it would serve us well to simply accept it for what it is.

Personally I'm happy with Ken at the helm over Bill.

Can we stop with the hysteria now?
