Oh how the times passed. I remember getting in on Asicminer in the beginnings, during the days of the bitcoin bump to $300 and then $1k ish. I saw as they rose to 2 bitcoins per share. I saw their first failed chip, their efforts towards using shipping containers to deploy large scale mining operations, the pictures of the blades, and all the other good stuff. I even remember the times when bitcointalk.org had rumors of the website getting a full makeover due to a few k in bitcoins a long time ago.
And now, our shares are worthless. Granted, I only had one share a long time ago that I left as a "why not", with the money being a full blown gamble in my end, so this isn't a full blown shock to me. Instead, it's just a disappointment, the end of the Asicminer era. It was fun guys!

Yes ken, keep ignoring requests for more information regarding shares while responding to other questions! You said that shares will be up soon/this week/quickly/etc multiple times now, I feel it is fair for users to request more information about the shares.

Seeing counterparty being promising, surely there is good reason as to why other securities like Asicminer are not using it. So, why would securities not want to use counterparty?

Since bitfunder closed, and all shares transferred back to ActM for holding, we have not received dividends of any kind. [snip] What is happening with our shareholdings?
I completely agree. At the very least, how many dividends are we owed? I am fine with even waiting longer if it means we are almost complete with a colored coin implementation, but for pete's sake give us some concrete information, a new screenshot, what works, what doesn't, how many people are working on it, is it just actM working on it or is AsicMiner working with you guys, have you guys considered using something like mastercoin for the time being, anything at all. We need some cold hard concrete information. No whitewashing of (everything is doing well, we are almost done, just a bit more, lots of progress), something concrete with actual details. Somewhat related, going further, have you guys considered working with AsicMiner to help each other get a distributed exchange out quicker? I am sure it is in pretty much all companies with shares best interests to get a distributed exchange going.

So, there are no paper wallets out for this yet?

This simply isn't true. CPU mining is perfectly viable at 512 share difficulty. Share difficulty DOES NOT MATTER - it only increases variance.
It sounds to me like his stratum proxy is lagging - try pointing the miners direct to the pool and see what happens.
While my thing isn't CPU mining, a diff of 512 is giving me much higher rejects than a lower difficulty, which is obviously causing issues for me.

[Xpost from http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinStocks/comments/1x3lp9/counterparty_xcp_a_new_platform_for_trustfree/] Seeing that there already appear to be various distributed exchange implementations which already work (Master Coin, Counter party), do you guys feel ActiveMining should drop its exchange efforts and just use one of these? I say yes, we have been fine waiting for a colored coin implementation but already have two other working solutions, both of which do the exchange in very different ways, there is no reason to continue wasting time, money, and efforts on making our own at this point.

I am still fine with waiting for a distributed exchange for our shares, but only if that means that efforts used to getting us on a normal site are transferred to a distributed exchange, or Ken hiring someone to work on a distributed exchange.

Poking fun at a sub-par website would be childish if the website wasn't as astoundingly and laughably sub-par. I mean, people had to rage at him to take this graphic down:  As far as software to move shares to an exchange? FFS, email the file to CT, how frickin' hard is that? What am i missing? Oh man, when was this? Anyone have more info? The incompetency ActiveMining is just staggering when compared to its competitor AsicMiner, and utterly laughable when compared to full blown companies on the fiat denominated markets. I rarely get suprised by some utterly insane thing ActiveMining does lately, like the gift wrap option is just ... well what can I say? Is he too cheap to hire some actual professionals, has too much of an ego and thinks he can do it all himself, or is something else going on? Edit: And as always, why does this thread constantly devolve into garbage?

Why is this thread a constant cesspool? It always, ALWAYS, devolves into the major players going at each other, while the rest of us are sitting here just waiting for news or new information. We would love some actual discussion, but instead we get such crap with people coming in and spouting their attacks on each other. Why can't they be done via PM? Or on twitter if you demand an audience? Hell, why are they even still allowed to post here!?
And it seems that for some reason this only happens in Active Mining threads, and much more rarely in Asic Mining threads.

I don't know if this is the right place (the issue/tracker site seems to be down) but the distro does not seem to see any of the wired Ethernet ports on my Z77 mpower motherboard. And I don't think there is a linux driver avalible, since even Ubuntu does not see the wired Ethernet ports. But, Ubuntu does see both of my USB wifi dongles while BAMT does not seem to see either one sadly. I am using the latest BAMT with this being my dongle: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166068

I think it would be really cool if you included comma's into your figures. For example: http://coinmarketcap.com/doge_30.htmlIt takes a while to realize if that says 2 million or 20 million.

Another vote for colored coins here. I am fine with waiting an extra month or even two if it means we can get colored coins working and tested.

No payout for the past 24 or so hours, is this normal?
Edit: Just saw my HW errors were very very high, with only two or so accepted shares. Here is progress on another p2p pool which is pretty much the same as this one. Anyone know what is going on?

Confirming that rapidhash is now working!

Icyhash seems to have just went down.
Edit: Back up again.
Stand by. I'm trying to get the load under control. The database is getting pounded. You running on AWS or something?
