You might want to direct your anger at your government. My guess is that Ken and Bitfunder have next to nothing to do with this. Burnside got a letter from the gov telling him to shut down because he was in the USA. Bitfunder probably got one stating the law about "If you have US clients your subject to the US's law's" The most economical safe way to deal with this is ban US clients. Send a letter to your congress man, make some change happen.

the best thing is to go direct shares from AM

no fees and no one forcing you to sell.

Q1: Could you provide more information about the team designing the boards?


A1: Over 15 years developing electronics

Q1: Could you provide more information about the team designing the boards?


A2:  Hi guys, in response to this question, I'd like to say that I'm unable to tell you the company name right now for reason X, however once we have reached stage Y, I will make this information public.
What I can say is that I have worked on a couple of projects with this team and am always very impressed by their professionalism and ability to produce high quality products on time.  I could have gone with other companies for a better deal, but feel the peace of mind I get working with these guys is worth the extra bitcoin as we only need to look at recent events with one of our competitiors and the rough time they are having with catastrophic board failures.  Our engineering team have a proven track record and have worked with large players in this space for the last 15 years.  We are watching events closely with KnC and are keen to understand what went wrong so that we can avoid similar issues.

DISCLAIMER:  Answer 2 was not written by Ken, but myself.  This may give Ken an idea about how a few choice words can keep the shareholders happy, without giving away sensitive information.  It's nice to see Ken online more often these days, and it's well within his ability to make posts like this.  Little tidbits like this would bolster confidence and see a boost in shareprice, and would also give us something tangible to discuss in this thread rather than the constant bickering and troll policing.

I guess some people here want Ken post in this thread every day even if its just feeding trolls and posting non news ("wafers at fab moved from machine A to B", "exciting new step today I cant announce due to NDA") or make bold promises just to boost up the share price for the daytraders.

Others may prefer he spends his time more productive and make sure this company can actually deliver.

Didn't you guys read Kens post?? He said "I give more PR than our first PR guy did".   We're supposed to ignore the fact he tells us NOTHING about how his progress is coming along with the Fast Hash machines we funded to build...Instead, you're supposed to be absolutely grateful that he is transferring our shares for us so we're not left with nothing!  This is supposed to be top quality PR, folks.   I feel like I'm a hobo being tossed a slab of rotten meat, just enough to keep me alive, as I praise the giver; "Thank you, sir!  Thank you, sir!".  Meanwhile he is raping my family and pissing all over my assets, while I chow down on the rotten piece of meat, thankful that he let us keep our shares!  

Thanks Ken!  You're the best!  AMAZING COMPANY YOU HAVE HERE.
