Ken,

Just a suggestion. Previously, you had used BTCGuild for mining.
Recently switch to Eligius Pooled Mining. Did it in part just out of curiosity.

Discovered that Eligius pays out more than BTCGuild. Also, Eligius allows for the mining speed and income to be viewed publicly by anyone who knows the bitcoin address being used to mine.

http://eligius.st/~gateway/


Also, Luke and his crew does a very good job of maintaining the site.




Lorenzo Money


BTCGuild has 3% fees
Eligius has 0%

Ken could be merged mining NMC does he do this currently (Although it would be next to nothing right now)

Eligius is ran by Wizkid057 and they are always helpful and online at Freenode #Eligius

Hi All

Couple of things which should be done this week:

1. Report on Datacenter readiness, along with some captioned pictures DT took. He's in Canada at the moment, so I'll work with him on it.
2. Clear plan on share transfer: I'm working on a website which should make the transfer/address verification process easier for everyone. We'll be deploying it after the trade lock (14 Nov) and before the shutdown (15 Dec). This will be an interim solution, while the rest of the team works on something a bit more permanent.

Will


That is good to hear, but I'm more concerned with what HashFast is doing to remedy the deal with you guys.

I'm under the impression if they don't deliver by December 31st you can get a full refund. Is this still a scenario you guys are planning for?
643  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread [Self-Moderated] on: November 11, 2013, 12:21:12 AM
If we can get 10 of our 25TH/s machines up and running in the next few weeks we will have 5% of total hash. And we only need to expand that to 70 machines over the following 100 days to hold that 5% in the face of 30% ish difficulty rise every 2 weeks.

It doesn't seem all that outlandish.

We're still waiting on the Prototypes I believe so "new few weeks" would likely be too aggressive.

Ken's #1 priority will be shipping units first as well so we'd have to wait until all the orders were fulfilled. (Could you imagine if he posted here that he was mining and there were orders still waiting to be fulfilled by customers)

You cannot use a % increase like 30 indefinitely. The next difficulty increase is looking to be around ~6% right now.

Once the difficulty gets to 1,000,000,000 many more units would have to be shipped for 30% in two weeks to be met. I'm not saying this is impossible but realistically we're going to catch up to a point where the normal is 5-10% every two weeks, at this point is where Ken would likely catch up and be able to maintain a good hashrate.

The "Bat Cave" as it has been dubbed apparently can likely hold 50-100 of those ~25TH units. I don't think he will have a problem scaling assuming everything goes well.

Either way, we need to have at least (1) confirmed working eASIC/ActM Chip and then we can do much better speculation. Let's hope this comes by the end of this month like we're leading ourselves to believe.

644  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread [Self-Moderated] on: November 10, 2013, 11:25:31 PM


So that makes sense with BTC at $300? What about if it's at $500 next week?

wanna play the what-if game?  what if it is $60 next week?  what if electricity prices double?  what if Ken builds a spaceship and starts the 1st bitcoin server mine on the moon?  

What if you go away and don't come back. Do you think anyone will be bothered?

Come on man,

We all know this is "The Internet" but come on, let's show some respect for each other especially fellow shareholders.

This whole we might as well troll our own thread because it is going to get trolled anyways is boring, immature, and above all annoying.

There are actually quite a bit of people on this thread that really DO need help either because they are misunderstanding basic mechanics of bitcoin,
 
Are missing key parts of the prospectus,

Still don't understand where to go with their shares,

and it seems more and more pop up each day.

Let's make this thread somewhat friendly for those people because in the end of the day we're all in the same boat.

Don't be mistaken, even I was very frustrated with quite a few of you guys and how a lot of the posts had completely wrong information or math in them but it's important that we help these people understand their mistakes instead of chastise them.

There's only one individual that we should be happy or upset at and that is Ken Slaughter and don't forget this. Our resources should be spent on holding him accountable and not fighting amongst ourselves.
He still has a bit of time to make this company go in the right direction, we'll know much more by the end of this month if he was leading us on with this prototype or it is just another stall tactic.

Try your hardest guys to not quote this post just to cause more drama, I believe in you.

A update from both and Willem, will come shortly.
I am meeting with the manager of the Datacenter today, to have a look at the space where we will be hosting the devices.
I will upload some pictures and some more details regarding those aspects.

Zum just leave already,

Maybe if we get lucky stuart will follow,

along with the other "investors" that can't stomach their decisions or do simple math/lookup relative posts based on their investment/etc...

It's so shitty that the actual shareholders of this security are making it look bad because of their shear stupidity. Crumbs doesn't even have to troll anymore you guys outdo yourselves.
647  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 09, 2013, 11:17:07 PM
40-50% difficulty rise would mean KnC delivers ~4ph worth of equipment in november. They delivered around 2.8ph in october. It will be closer to 25% jump more than likely.

Which will be around .3-.4 btc per day per jupiter
648  Economy / Securities / Re: Lab Rat Data Processing, LLC (LabRatMining) Official Announcement on: November 09, 2013, 09:42:18 PM
I need a little clarity,

I thought it would only be 14 days total of dividends (minus the ~5TH) going to LRM directly but now it seems that it's all the days until "All the boards come in" + 14 Days so it actually ends up being over 21 days or am I misunderstanding.
649  Economy / Securities / Re: [ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread [Self-Moderated] on: November 09, 2013, 03:23:58 PM
I was just being clear that your watch/calender doesn't have any magical indicator that we're NOT on track. Devices CAN be shipping inside November still (low production, of course), and they can certainly be mining - given that in all likely hood we will be mining on a prototype by the end of next week.

If you assert to know something that the rest of us don't you'll be called to account. In this case, you do not. Also, there isn't any need for the childish hostilities. I'm no mindless fanboy. Ken could very well be behind, but we just don't know that yet.

I'd like to apologize if I came off as rude or hostile. I'd like to contribute to an honest flow of information here, not the incessant trolling we're used to.

Cheers.

I understand,

however I try to use every ounce of information Ken gives us (which isn't much)

Fast-Hash-One shipping is October/November 2013

If shipping was on for October at any point then we are at least 3 (The amount of weeks of low volume production) + 3 weeks (What we assume to be the first "Prototypes" to start hashing. So 6 Weeks behind.

There are/were delays 100% sure else we would have had a product to show in October and wouldn't be waiting til end of November for a potential prototype (Let's hope!)

Either way thankfully there are delays on everyone else so we still have a decent chance!
650  Economy / Securities / Re: [BitFunder] IceDrill.ASIC IPO (500 Thash Mining Operation powered by HashFast) on: November 09, 2013, 01:34:16 PM
I can not understand. Why not KNC? it is cheaper and real. I order 4 knc in previous month and receive it 29th. I visit office knc in Stockholm.
It is not advertising, it is just a question why we wait for strongly expensive and slowly hash"fast"? is it possible to cancel order with HF and make new with knc?

Also I can not understand what I must do to keep shares when bitfunder closing?

A contract was likely signed between both of them with a "By this Date" Clause. Sadly HashFast are smooth talkers so I'm sure they convinced IceDrill that there would be barely any delays however if I recall correctly, IceDrill was supposed to get their Chip/Modules end of October/very Early November but HashFast didn't even have their Silicon in hand until Nov 7th so I'm sure there are people pretty upset.


As for KnC, last I saw their Nov Jupiters were sold out. Then there were 49 left, then there were 200 left. So who knows but either way, IceDrill isn't going to get a refund. They are stuck in this and the only thing we can hope for is that they are fighting with every ounce of their being to force HashFast to make this delay right.

651  Economy / Securities / Re: [BitFunder] IceDrill.ASIC IPO (500 Thash Mining Operation powered by HashFast) on: November 09, 2013, 12:48:17 PM
ASICMiner, IceDrill competitor, made a huge investment in immersion cooling capable of 5000+ boards.  Their server location is in Hong Kong so the weather is warm.  I hope IceDrill can compete.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1foqSvwX5elsVGG4VkowchCOLBBq7uxwe2qAkX_ltGPE/edit

You think that is your competition?

This is your competition: http://cointerra.com/cointerra-open-silicon-announce-tape-goldstrike1-asic/

HashFast and ASICminer's hardware actually exist, unlike Cointerra's.

Cointerra is more than two months behind HashFast.

Cointerra's first chip will be competing with HashFast's second one.

ALWAYS BET ON iCE...

HashFast's current delivery is Mid-December (At Earliest)
Cointerra's is at Mid January (At Earliest)

Cointerra says their chip has better specs than HashFast. (We'll see when both of them actually have a working chip to show)


Still very interested to hear what Perks IceDrill may be receiving as a result of this delay.
652  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 09, 2013, 12:26:13 PM
And the fact you can't come up with a few grand to invest suggests you are a loser, with no real business skills, just a lot of talk.

Why don't you sell everything you have and buy some hardware.

Tell us more Mr. Businessman.

Who said there were problems? Last time I checked we were on schedule.

Might want to fix your watch/calender

I'd like to see your "functioning" watch/calender.

Just like the rest of the lazy ass shareholders on here I have to do the work for you.

NRE Stated as Funded - July 20th, 2013
Quote from: kslaughter link=topic=252531.msg2769407#msg2769407
The NRE, which I believe is the most important and most critical, to the success of the project has been funded. This is a great time for the company and all of its shareholders.

+ 9 Weeks (Chip Samples)
  • Chip samples delivered in 9 weeks;
Saturday, September 21, 2013

+ 12 Weeks (Low Volume Production)
  • Low-volume chip production starting in 12 weeks, using an e-beam process;
Saturday, October 12, 2013

+ 16 - 18 Weeks
  • Normal volume chip production starting in 16-18 weeks.
Saturday, November 9, 2013 - Saturday, November 23, 2013



You base your "functioning" calendar off of the assumption that the copy/pasted eASIC timeline starts when Ken posts? Ken has not specified when that "9 weeks" starts.

Examples of laziness below:

Speaking of business plan...

You stated this:

What are the current plans for chip development?
ActiveMining is developing a 28nm Bitcoin mining chip using eASIC.
  • Chip samples delivered in 9 weeks;
  • Low-volume chip production starting in 12 weeks, using an e-beam process;
  • Normal volume chip production starting in 16-18 weeks.

Does this timeline start at the completion of the NRE payment?

No

Does this timeline start at the time of the post?

No

Everyone understands that obviously the "Timeline" didn't start at this point. eASIC doesn't just bullshit it's customers with their timelines (Hell their whole business model revolves around guaranteed/short timelines). However this is all we have to go on so it is where it will start unless Ken directly says that they started 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, etc... afterwards.

If the prototype actually does come at the end of this month (week 3) it would mean that eASIC started around September 23, 2013 or just about 9 weeks AFTER the NRE was paid.

If Ken said this was true then yes we would be on perfect timing with eASIC however I believe I heard Ken wanted to get prototypes in October if I do recall.
Fast-Hash-One shipping is October/November 2013

Good try though!

655  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Swedish ASIC miner company kncminer.com on: November 08, 2013, 05:57:09 PM

You lied either about having spoke to Emilia, or the status of the RMA. Pretty simple.

"Your return arrived today, was processed and repaired today, and left here by courier today.
In and out the same day.
That two week stuff is nonsense, you weren't even issued the RMA until the 29/10/13 (last Friday) it's in the RMA code itself." < your quote



Or it was just a mistake and he was given the wrong info.

Nah, had to be a downright dirty lie. Something he must have been scheming from the beginning. That Bitcoinorama, no good can come from him!

What problems could they really be having? eASIC knows how to make ASICs... the only thing that would make this not work is if the hash generating logic was wrong.

Who said there were problems? Last time I checked we were on schedule.

Some Updates,

HashFast is delayed until Mid December at the earliest they say

Cointerra Taped-Out today and said it should take them 60 Days to receive the chips so expect units Mid January at earliest.

BFL has posted a Prototype 2 Picture of their Monarch slated for Mid December delivery for first batch orders - Picture here
