ACTM at .0029 ...fuck
begin rant:
I have held my tongue long enough. I am fed up with Ken's inept sense of decent communication (beyond a few grunts here and there) and his awful sense of design and marketing. That logo is third rate at best. If that bloody awful site is doing so goddamn well; WHERE ARE THE FUCKING NUMBERS?! As funders (I won't call us shareholders anymore for obvious reasons) of this little experimental venture we have a right to know.
At this point, my FUD is that ACTM will not gain momentum again because of competition and difficulty AND the fact that for whatever reason, Ken refuses to do trade magazine type PR to get the word out AND and to tell us current state of progress. I am frustrated that Actm and vmc are never even mentioned in the news the way other companies are. At this point Ken may have funded and built his company for free off our backs. It doesn't seem to matter to Ken if the stock evaporates. He doesn't own any. So frustrated right now. All Ken (or someone in the know) has to do is tell us and the world what progress he is making. But day after day it's silence and the confidence drizzles away to nothing as he seems too socially inept to know how to communicate.
Unless no news really is bad news.
end rant.

sorry for the FUD...
but due to lack of management keeping us and the public up-to-date as to the state of the company; it now looks as though ACTM is about to vaporize.

at the very least reconsider the splash page and use this (which I also created free of charge):  |

that image alone is making me take this whole thing... not very seriously.

If you know for a fact that they are compatible and that all you have to do is change the "Theme" of his current platform then there's not a single good reason why he shouldn't use your site.
Like I said in my first post: The sites are completely incompatable since what I made is all in house. After he rejected my site I offered to make the PrestaShop modules for the front end of his current website. Long story short, he said no. That's when Darin started ripping images from my site. Well in this case, as a community let's make sure Ken gets the point. I will be PMing him that he should use your website and anyone else that believes so should as well. He can't ignore all of the emails/PMs but he can ignore this thread apparently. THIS. People, if you think the site is great and want Ken to adopt him, then PM him!!! He does not read the thread and your voice will not be heard if you post here. +1 Done. |

http://vmctest.comDO NOT PLACE ORDERSFew notes:-The support page is laid out but inoperative. -Ordering through Coinbase does work. -Pricing is not indicative of current prices. -Footer is not fleshed out. -Emails come through with HTML, since an SMTP mail server was not hooked up to it. Built it in 3 weeks while home from work staying up to 4 am most nights. Fully AJAX (quick loads, no page refreshes) Logo:hazryder https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=84063Splash:knybe https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24307Notes:Check out the Fast-Hash Builder on the products page.  Fully mobile. Offered this to Ken 2 weeks ago for free, since it was supposed to coincide with the press release. This was turned down because it did not run off of the PrestaShop shopping cart software. The way the 2 are built makes them completely incompatible. I offered again to make the Prestashop modules for free, but was turned down. He has the same design team that did the SEO on the current site, working on the rebuild (I'm told that he was rebuilding it, all I have seen changed so far is the splash and the ... logo). It doesn't have a robust back end. That could have been built out in the future. clean simple and well done, bravo. too bad some people never understand the importance of good clean design, for business, even if it jumped up and bit them on their bitcoin shooting arse. |

hey lewicki,
Any chance of seeing the final website design comps you presented?
I would prefer to keep it shelved, if enough people want to see it, I'll drop the link though. cool, no worries. |

What's the word from Ken or ActiveMining-PR or Vbs or all the previously bullish and vocal supporters of ACTM?
Is this a done deal?
Everyone got their cheese and now shop closed?
besides the usual pump&dumpers polluting the thread, it's fucking crickets in here.

nUTBREAKER go ahead and eat your bowl of dicks please. I don't even see your posts as most people in here.

wow... come back from a great week on vacay to find this whole thing has turned into a piece of shit.
oh well. picked the wrong horse again.
You sure did, Speculating is for the Labcoin thread I thought a press release from eASIC was a good thing? looks to me like it killed it. Can anyone give me a short & sweet TL;DR of what the fuck happened? |

Sure, eAsic doesn't want to disclose much about it's 28nm technology. Probably because it's not very mature. For all we know, it might not work that well yet.
But whatever. The NDA shouldn't prevent anyone from talking about PCBs, pin-outs for the chip, packaging, facilities, and all the other thing that are going to be needed to get these systems up and hashing.
Well no, it shouldn't, and I'm certainly not arguing FOR the NDA blackout on other information. LOL But (and I hate to even mention this explicitly, as it would be a worst case scenario), if Ken has no concrete production information from eAsic, he might be hesitant to move forward on any of the ancillary work. Hence (ICYMI): We are allowed to confirm that the BTC were converted some time ago and the board designs are in progress. We are also restructuring our product
offerings and fixing issues on the website. We appreciate these have been
live updates which are not ideal, but this is due to a technical issue this
week that is yet to be resolved.

MESSAGE TO KEN/PR
Please do a better job of communicating with us. Just a few minutes every couple days to chat and reach out to us here should keep investors happy. The silence and the absence of communication is what is keeping shareholders on the edge.

Great. So nothing much to know here until after Labor Day. Meantime share price is bottoming out due to lack of formidable PR and Ken's inability to articulate more than a grunt here and there.
I too deal with NDAs and am very familiar with and understand how they work but at this point, with regards to how it affects the share price, it's becoming a huge liability.
There must be some kind of good news that has NOTHING to do with eASIC and the infamous NDA that can calm doubts?
Not a scam? ... Maybe.
but It's sure feels like we've been abandoned...
It's like Ken got what he wanted out of us and has walked away.

Had to poke my head in here when I saw the divs.
There is absolutely no reason, with confidence dropping the share price, why Ken or PR should not make an announcement regrading eASIC at this point.
It's astoundingly frustrating and makes me feel like NOTHING is happening to make this company successful since nothing whatsoever is being said by those in charge.
My Fear Uncertainty and Doubt are in hyperdrive.

whaaattt??
Did I just miss some cheap shares?! dammit.
I'm gettin off-the-grid to Big Sur for a week.
Hopefully I come back to a beautiful new stack of ACTM news... among other things.
you people keep it above the belt in here.
laters.

Correct me if I'm wrong - total layman here: It is my understanding that the above process you mention is for customers that have existing FPGA chips in their product line and want to convert, fast and easy, over to ASIC.
Yes, as opposed to designing something from the ground up as an ASIC. An FPGA works by having a grid of logic units, and then using switches to create links between them. These FPGA->ASIC designs work by getting rid of all the switching stuff and replacing them with with metal (i.e. wiring them together). The result is a microchip that does the exact same thing as the FPGA did, but requires way less space. This is obviously much cheaper and easier to do then designing a new ASIC from scratch. But it's less efficient then doing something like a standard-cell design like what KnC is doing. A further level up from that is doing a 'full custom' design where you actually specify the exact images you want printed on the chip layers. This is the most difficult but you can maybe take advantage of various electrical properties to make things more energy or space efficient. This is what HashFast (and I think cointerra) is claiming to do at 28nm, and what Labcoin is claiming to do at 130nm. Sooo.... if ActiveMining is using the 'easicopy' stuff, or whatever they call it, then their chips are not actually going to be that good compared to the competition. Yeah but... ActiveMining doesn't have existing FPGA designs that need converting to ASIC. From what I understand, ACTM will be ASICs from the get go... maybe I'm not getting it? |

I suggest you read all of this, and click links: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=254930.0. There are a number of reasons it is a strong competitor. Many of us wondered what you are now asking you have the benefit of reading most of the goods in one location. I see some links about eASIC. But one of the links is this: http://www.easic.com/high-speed-transceivers-low-cost-power-fpga-nre-asic-45nm-easic-nextreme-2/easic-nextreme-2-fast-turnaround-asics-manufacturing/which is their 'fast turnaround' process that actually produces slower, less efficient chips per mm^2. If they are using that process it would explain why their specs are so much lower then their competition's. Unless the dies are a lot smaller, that's going to mean much higher costs per chip. I understand that eASIC is good at what they do. But if they are using their automatic fpga->ASIC process their chips are going to be slower and less efficient then their competitors. ___ Is the main reason you think ActiveMining will come out on top is because they are an eASIC customer? Or is there any other reason? Correct me if I'm wrong - total layman here: It is my understanding that the above process you mention is for customers that have existing FPGA chips in their product line and want to convert, fast and easy, over to ASIC. |
