@Vigil: Please see MrTeal's posts above. He is right on in both of his assertions. That's most likely a Bitfury board. (see the caps on 3 of the four sides of each chip? That's because there's nothing but power there.)

Ken, whose board is in those pictures? What chips are on that board?
This is a board that our engineer designed and those are BFL chips. He will be designing a reference board for our DIY for our 55nm and 28nm chips like this one. I can say with 100% certainty that those are not BFL chips, either with the old or the new package design. The BFL chips are a 144 pin BGA. Seriously, that's just pathetic. Yup. |

How about postin' a pic that doesn't look like pixel art? Also, your chips are pin-compatible to BFL? Honest Injun? I think he is saying that that isn't the board for the 55nm, but a board one of the engineers made for the BFL chip. No, it would have to be a redesign, but not much of one. So, let me get this straight: Your engineers designed a PC board for their chips ... that's not pin compatible with their chips? I'm not against recreational drug use, but how much paint are your boys huffing? |

I have to say that is a nice looking PC board. You could sure solder some chips onto that, boy howdy.
There are actually two chips mounted on this board, here:  You don't need to populate the whole board to test the chip design, so we're good there. The problem is that while there are chips on that board, Ken stated that "his" chips have not yet been made -- he claimed that they're just taped out. So... Whose board, whose chips? |

By raising funds with bitcoin via Havelock, you are essentially hedging that the price of bitcoin will fall or remain the same. If the price of bitcoin increases, then the dividends paid to investors will be lower due to a fixed amount of monthly income in USD.
... Yep. Maybe if OP made his tenants sign long leases with rent set in Bitcoin... |

Lol, just ended up on the VMC site. All the 28nm vaporware is still being sold  |

Eww. You're nowhere as hawt as you think.
As far as the pic? It looks like a PC board, but i have no idea whose. Has Ken claimed the 55nm chips that aren't made yet are already mounted on a pc board? Or did you make that particular stupidity with your own brain?

Before or after you resolve the issue of refunds for your previous vaporware preorders? I've just requested a refund. After asking a refund after few minutes I've got first email stating I should provide details where to send the money and after that in few seconds another one stating refund processed. Funny how they do the business - no information of customers like in other companies  Same issue with me. Still waiting for the refund checks. |

Aren't you being investigated for securities fraud? Are you sure you'll be able to deliver ASICs from prison, OP? This is getting lulzier by the day. @Everyone else: If you are not familiar with Active Mining, please visit its multiple threads in the Securities section to get a feel for the company. |

I see Ken's trying to push more preorders here: As expected, the news is met with much laughter and fingerpointing. |

"All anyone wants is the truth and the ability to trade shares."
This.
I know this might sound completely impossible. But maybe Ken is telling the truth. I know.. sounds a little crazy. Hell even VolcanicEruptor verified that he informed the authorities. So Ken could be like.. not lying. Yeah, can't write that off. But I wouldn't put trolling past VE either. The whole CanadianGuy/VMC hardware bit I'm on the fence with this one, ~65% in favor of Yes, he's being investigated. |

This used to be such a fun thread. Let's get past this trading thing, I'll tell you why:
If Ken really is being investigated by Missouri Securities folks, there's no way in hell he is going to put your shares on any exchange. That's like being charged with rape, and before the case comes up on the docket, going out and raping again. Even Ken wouldn't do that, and you can't honestly ask him to.
On the other hand, if he has not been contacted, and the whole investigation thing is just a hoax, begging on a forum is unlikely to change his mind.
So let's talk about something else.

You guys should let your voices be heard and leave not only negative trust on his profile, but also PM Theymos requesting he receive a scammer tag. Theymos is incredibly busy, but he will respond and do the proper thing.
As I understand it, scammer tags are a thing of the past -- they were replaced by the trust system. The trust system, and the default trust, have been discussed to death already -- pretty exploitable, considering TF was on the default trust. Finally, giving Ken a scammer tag will accomplish nothing -- he already has the coins, and is well into the endgame. Theymos doesn't like getting involved in this shit, which is understandable -- if I was in his shoes, I wouldn't touch stuff like this. |

The picture that convinced Active Mining shareholders that Ken Slaughter was a legitimate multinational, multimillion-valued business (Portals added later to make things a bit livelier):  |

No. There is no evidence this is a scam. Nothing.

fine thanks, I did the maths...
Risk = 50% Reward = 500% Is it a good high risk investment? Well, if I invested in 10 companies with the same risk/reward, the 100BTC I invest with each will return 250BTC - so yes, it's worth the risk. Of course if you are investing money you don't have, and basing all of your decision on uncontrolled panic and fear, then the investment could be anything from the holy grail of life, to a bubbling pit of firey hell on earth. Most people here are more "Bipolar" than "Investor" I think I see your problem, Vin, and I'll correct your numbers: Risk: Scam, obvious to two-year-old. Reward: Who cares, it's a scam. (Scam) * (Who cares) =  You did your math wrong, buddy. But your strategy of giving your money to every scammer that ascs for it, on the off chance that one of them accidently makes you money is a win. You should write a book -- I'm sure every Active Miner would buy a copy. The tragedy of your situation is not that you've lost all of your coin in this abortion, but the fact that you've learned absolutely nothing. Next aging alcoholic that comes along will take the rest of your money. |

Great... so Ken put all the money into developing and producing ASIC's and then someone is smart enough to report VMC to the authorities? For revenge? Since i dont see that killing the company will get a reasonable amount of bitcoins back to shareholders.
I wish people could control their fear at least so far that they could make decisions that look like the best financially outcome. I dont see that coming from VMC having to refund all customers and spreading satoshis for his shareholders while stopping operations.
I agree that we should not report to authorities and run to big daddy. I believe the only people reporting Ken are the competitors to try us shut down. No reasonable person invested would stab himself in the back by reporting, unless they are not reasonable and in fact mentally deficient. Which I'd suggest most of the people posting in this thread are... mentally deficient that is. Vinny, didn't you say you were conned out of *ANOTHER* 10 BTC when ken was recently dumping shares? How's that bit of mental surplus working? |

Have you been stiffed like everyone else, or is it totally legit like you claimed? Could you drop by that thread and calm the folks down? Thx |

Awesome news, Ken!
I see the eAsic NRE is down the flush, since you're getting offers from them along with everyone else.
I see you've lied about eAsic working on the 28nm chip.
I see you tossed a new twist into the plot - da regulators are after you. B- for creativity if lie, the end to this sideshow if truth.
Anyhow, you never fail to entertain. Solid effort.
Sidenote: A bit sad that i won't see this failscam trade, was looking forward to that...
