Is anyone familiar with US law related to gambling/betting? I thought that the location of the servers is irrelevant if you live in USA (you do) and/or serving US customers.
What is the worst case scenario here - could US police (or regulator or whoever) confiscate the BTC? What is your plan for such legal complications?

uvwvj, Exactly, I think that's the payback period "pitched" for many franchises out there.

no, mine is 4500BTC.

however, if at the end of the day, funding is not up to 8000, I'll buy them up.

If not already in progress, can I please suggest that a full ActiveMining / VMC PR Piece be done and released to the various online Bitcoin news sites.

Personally I have had enough of reading about other companies announcing lesser machines and hardware technologies on these sites, this would bring in a lot of new business and pre-orders for VMC.


I have used the below user to formulate a PR and Marketing release for my IRL Business, and it has already done wonders for us:

I don't like to voice negative points on this thread, however I will be sincerely disappointed if this momentum isn't maintained with a simple task such as this. Not for the share prices which are a by product but for what we are trying to build with ActiveMining.

So... you're against empirical A/B testing, you just wanna go with your gut? Cool, whatever. My suggestion was simple and motivated by a desire to help out. Your monologue was detractive and only tangentially related, although I'm sure your intent was not entirely self aggrandizing. But thanks for the insight, I'm sure it will be useful after empirical tests. Or, hell, come up with slogany things that take more than two seconds to come up with (like my off-the-cuff suggestion of "99% player odds", which you took the time to base an argument on, but I already suggested was only a shot in the dark), and test those, too - after all, it's evidence of success versus known alternatives that matters.

That is, if anyone wants to actually test results. Which is all I suggested in the first place.

Wait which is the one boasting that Cointerra's team is the toppest notchest? (Nothing 'gainst them, just using the reference here)

It wasn't ytt?

You know, you actually seem quite insecure about your own intelligence. Clinging to the "Doctor" title so much you put it in your forum handle. I know people who have PhDs in mathematics and computer science, and they never refer to themselves as "Dr." - it reads as more then a little desperate.

The fact that you've had an apparent adverse emotional reaction to someone pointing out your less then stellar academic record further indicates your insecurity about your actual academic abilities and record.

I don't want people to get scammed and lose all their money. I also don't want people to lose all their money by investing with charlatans. I don't think it's "trolling" to pose questions about a fund manager asking for other people's money, especially when they're not even willing to tell people what they're going to do with it. To me, you appear to be presenting yourself as someone who's more successful then they actually are. That presentation seems fundamentally dishonest to me.

If people want to trust you, that's obviously they're choice. But there's nothing wrong with pointing out problems and concerns people should have.

If that bothers you, well, that's just too bad.

The reason i post is simple.  The bitcoin community is in the midst of ASICmania -- a filthy affliction driven by unmitigated greed and unapologetic stupidity (and possibly lack of personal hygiene and promiscuity, but this is debatable).  It's gotten so bad that people trying to save you -- the very voices of reason -- are vilified and condemned as trolls.

I have to admit that my motives are selfish at least in part:  I use bitcoin, i don't want to be embarrassed by it.

Very close! 0.01404192 BTC/share

Crumbs is a 'general' troll, he trolls in every single thread.  Just put him on ignore like everyone else does. He never says anything worthwhile.

I predict 0.02 by the end of the day, so you better cancel your asks

I think I might be in love with you.

If you don't have academic papers published in journals, then you don't have an "Academic career".  Period.


Rest of what?  There's no evidence for any of this other then random websites I've never heard of, which he could have setup himself.



Yup. And like Madoff and Pirate he's probably thinking he'll actually make money with his "hedge fund" - and maybe he will. Or maybe he'll make a lot of money and keep most of it for himself. But the problem is this guy is a huckster, pretending to be some uber-smart "Professor Dr." when in reality he's just some ridiculous SEO faker (IMO - again, since I don't see an academic trail in places that they'd normally show up).


Like I said, Neither pirate nor Madoff ever intended to run a ponzi scheme.  They just got sucked in once they started lying about their profits.

Well a 12% annual return in dividends can be a lot or vey little, depending on which angle you a re looking at it from. For a mining stock, it is very poor as it is an extremely fast-moving and therefore often short-lived market. On the other hand, this can be seen as a long-time enterprise which doesn't depend at all on mining technologies, difficulty increases, etc.

Normally start-ups in the "real world" don't pay out any dividends at the beginning, focusing this way in growth rather than fast returns. It is now up to each investor to decide for himself if he/she prioritizes fast returns vs. long-term business.

P.S. I do agree that the door should be left open for possible future dividend increases in case the company has made enogh profits. However, this should be submitted to investor voting.

Rumour has is that Cointerra/HashFast and KNC are better alternatives. But I really don't want to buy miner to do it solo and i'm also wary of the group buys. Is there an IPO at one of these 3? We all know that solo miners take the short end no matter how "advanced" their chips are, especially if you're not "first in the line".

What is the better alternative than ACTM?

Class action lawsuit wherein 90% of all settlement money goes to the lawyers? - genius!

I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I still can't find what you pasted.
