It's so refreshing to see ignored-troll-post zapped before it even hits the the thread.

Honesty trolls, what a waste of your useless child speak.

Looks like Ken's getting some local press:

this may be way off topic but it reads very similar to a certain CEO of a certain company that we are all invested in, especially in regards to PR:

EXCLUSIVE: Charlie Shrem Speaks Out About Mt. Gox...

Quote
Shrem believes the company should have, long ago, hired an agency to handle its PR, but it didn’t, because Karpeles didn’t want anyone to know Mt. Gox’s inner workings (read: didn’t want anyone to know what a dire mess it was in).

Except we aren't in a dire mess.

We don't think ACTM is, Knybe is just trying to express how much PR has positive AND negative effect on the company, it's a tool to help the company, but if you don't use it, it can only hurt the company.

also, there has been a 600TH jump at ASICMINER in the last 24hrs… the competition is becoming insanely more fierce.

The payment of the dividend in BTC will soon be available with counterpartyd and its various clients.


Can the BTC functionality be built into a client or counterwallet? Wouldn't you just need an interface where the protocol can tell the client where to send dividends etc? If this functionality could be added I think it would help enormously.

+1

Yes. Great idea. I will add this feature in BoottleXCP:

I just add Phase 3 here : https://forums.counterparty.co/index.php/topic,134.msg932/topicseen.html#msg932


This is the kind of thing that, if it's to be done, should be implemented at the level of counterpartyd. I'll add the functionality to the backend, and you can just call create_dividend as you normally would (albeit with an extra argument), alright?

Yes alright!!


interesting… can you elaborate?
207  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 26, 2014, 11:23:34 PM
Their reasoning for not being able to pay Dividends in BTC makes no sense. I don't know what betting has to do with getting paid dividends. If someone has a list of shares and needs to send X amount to each share, any digital currency should be able to do that.

Greed always takes something ridiculously simple and complicates it ridiculously... to their advantage.

Yes, it probably should.

Also, people should ensure, in any forum anywhere on the internet where they post a question that they refrain from posting the question until the read at least the last several pages first. Chances are always more than 90% the question has already been answered.

In this case, I was chuckling to myself at the absurdity of it. Poolwaffle explains about payouts, then four or five people, right below, are asking about payouts. It's eye-rolling stuff.


first world problems...

just ignore them and be done with it… like I'm ignoring all the people who moan about back reading the posts.
209  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 26, 2014, 06:58:15 PM
Yeah I'd still rather wait for chroma wallet or etherium...

Screw centralized / Achilles heel exchanges.
210  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POOL] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com on: February 26, 2014, 06:54:49 PM
No payouts today ??

Yeah what up with that?
211  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 25, 2014, 03:05:52 AM
Colored coins it is!

Been telling everyone since day 1.

edit: i laugh at those who bought actm shares from that shitty exchange.

what's to laugh at? ANY shares can be converted into colored coin shares, like any other shares… hardy har har.

now we wait for CC to mature to a usable state… sometime in 2015? hardy fucken har.
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][POOL] Profit switching pool - wafflepool.com on: February 23, 2014, 03:58:18 PM
Thanks for the payout waffles!

Keep up the good work.

is it just me or does no one in here realize that WE ARE NOT HASHING and from the looks of it we won't be hashing until sometime next fall…  IF AT ALL.

Why you all continue spinning and discussing this failure is beyond me.

it's done.

EDIT: pardon me for being the Voice of Reason.

another EDIT: and you all do realize we still have no proof that we own shares in this company and that fact is looking worse and worse everyday.

We should be mining by May if we get the 55nm chips in mid-April.
You're kidding, right? Maybe by the end of May, but there won't be any large scale deployment of hashing power before the end of April is chips arrive on the 17th. Having the chips, boards and full system tested and signed off on to enter volume production by May would be a good goal.

Well it's a lot closer to May than it is to September. These next two months are going to be critical.

so were the last two… and the two before that… and the two befo… oh never mind.
215  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 21, 2014, 07:35:12 PM
whatever, just trying to pry the rose colored spectacles off.

As far as I'm concerned this company and Ken haven't proven themselves worthy.

The minute they do, I'll be the loudest cheerleader on the block...
216  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 21, 2014, 07:05:59 PM
I expect there to be some exciting news within the next two weeks™ regarding our trading options.

FIFY
217  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 21, 2014, 07:02:15 PM

...It's one thing to vent and that's fine but try and not call it a scam please.




ACTM is following suit to every other failure I've seen in this "business." no communication, no product, lots of failed deadlines, LIES, dramatic changes of original plan… nothing ever coming to fruition.

All I'm asking for is something, anything from Ken. After all there is no NDA with eASIC anymore and there is no need at all for secrecy.
218  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] Official Shareholder Discussion Thread [Moderated] on: February 21, 2014, 06:38:41 PM
yeah like it's great to chitchat and pipe dream all the chip dimensions and the hash rates and the boards and the vendors and the makers and the blah blah blah of who said what and what the lawyers are gonna do and eASIC nonsense,

BUT

until Ken shows some kind of good faith move, and immediately… I only see this thing ending one way: BADLY.


EDIT: all I know is that this operation is following, almost to a Tee, the same pattern of other bitcoin related failures/cons/scams…

EDIT2: good faith move for me would be (I'll start a list):

  • 1. images of paper work i.e. receipts, contracts, etc. or better yet images of boards or chips or wafers.

  • 2. shares on CT made available.


feel free to add to this list please.

did we lose the eASIC "MILLION DOLLAR" NRE?

We are expecting to recover most of the eASIC NRE.

Am i understand that correctly that you already paid 1 million USD for 28nm to eASIC and now this goes to waste because you want to use a different engineering company?
If so what is so important that its worth that price?

If eASIC is 5-10 times as expensive as the other choice then yes it would make sense to forego the eASIC NRE cost and go with another company. I assume Ken wanted to go with eASIC but they simply were not competitive with their 28nm Full-Custom pricing and likely made Ken go with certain Fabs/Packages at a premium.

I'm happy that we got away from eASIC for a Full-Custom as their only purpose was the Nextreme quick to market niche that was passed up already.

Hopefully Ken can get back the majority of the NRE.

The only reason I was ever drawn to and took this company seriously was the eASIC deal, anything other than that now is a copout.

like I've said before: if this really happens I'll be as thrilled as you guys… but alas, my hopes are nowhere near as high as they were last June no! August… oh wait! October, or was it! December... bahhh who cares anymore. (just wish I could right this off on my taxes)
