Admitting they have 'insider info' is a serious serious mistake. This sort of stuff is literally criminal. Insider trading? FFS.

The only thing you can say on this is to repeat what DTS just said - with all these people claiming to have amazing insider info why the hell are they not buying??? There has been around 3k shares sold in the past 5 days and about 3k bought. That is basically flat. Something about that smells really funny to me. When you have amazing inside info you don't act like these people are acting.

I'm calling this out - it's a pump and dump.

Damn. So are these customers first inline for a refund before us? If that is the case we will get zero coins back.

Yeah, or they are trying to pump their own shares on crypto-Trade to sell them to gullible victims before the final nail is put into the coffin of this company. I know for a fact that one big name on here is doing just that. Can't say who but this guy expected to make a nice and quick turn around on the crypto trade episode but that didn't happen and he is now desperate to sell. It wouldn't surprise me if this is all a pump and dump to allow those who bought Ukyo's shares to get out before the big let down. Lets face it, big news is coming but who says we are going to like it?

Jesus. Does anyone else feel like they are in a bad dream here? How many times have you said this over the past six months? Seriously it must be in double figures.

Last time we all thought things were actually about to happen Ken came on and said out of the blue that he needed all of December and January. Its now six weeks past the end of that time. So we are now a total of 14 weeks later and still nothing. Nil.  Can I have some of the medication you are on because it must be incredible stuff.

gjp - forgive me if I don't get too excited by your prediction of great things. I'm not wanting to get anyone down here, but look at this quote and then think again if it's worth getting excited right now after 2 projects cancelled and a huge loss of coin on Gox. I will get excited when/if the situation actually changes - predictions, you can keep them. This quote is, yes you read it correctly, almost a year to the day old. A YEAR.


SPRINGFIELD, MO, – March 23, 2013 – AMC a hybrid mining and development cooperative has announced today that they are in talks with a Major Semiconductor Company which can provide ASIC's with lower up-front development cost, time, and reduced risk which are greatly reduced over other ASIC's. AMC said "With their simplified design flow, the time from RTL to device tape-out is typically only five to ten weeks for prototypes. This enables AMC's designers to bring new Bitcoin mining products on line quickly; then rapidly develop derivative products to cater to the Bitcoin's changing market requirements.

Disregarding his own personal investments, his advice will be taken onboard by millions of home investors and serious institutions. The problem is not getting Buffet and his holdings behind BTC, it's that his advice will be listened to.

"Stay away from bitcoin. It's a mirage." - Warren Buffett

Check.

3k is not news it's a prediction. 3k in September?! You were saying 10k by year end a few months ago what happened to that?! Much of this industry is based on fairy tales - and always expecting things to get better is what kept most of us in on this investment all the way down from 0.007 to 0.0005. If you have an unreasonable expectation in your investments you will never do well because you will always hang on too long. So for your own benefit you need to start seeing things for what they actually are and not for what you are desperately hoping for.

Being completely honest with you, I'm a big supporter of this company and there is no denying we've recently had 2 cancelled projects (eASIC 28nm+PASIC 55nm) and also just suffered a significant loss of company funds on MtGox. On top of that BTC is sitting at half the price it was when big plans were made, and likely 1/4 of what it should be right now (Q1) based on earlier plans. But none of that is fraud related, it's just what circumstances have thrown at us. I would never ever say this is an SEC case but I would freely admit to having concerns about where we have the ability to go to from here.

The biggest issue for us right now is the price of BTC. If it was closing in on 3k on the way to 10k by year end as many had hoped then the prospects for us would have been good. As it is, there are just no signs of a BTC recovery right now and that to me seems to have serious implications - both for our ability to raise investment funds and the demand for hardware we would see should we ever produce a miner or chip. If BTC falls further, let's say to to $300, then the cost of production of our machines could be greater than the life-time ROI of the machine. At that point we have no business.

So there are still some serious concerns. I don't think anyone should be overly expectant of the near future, we are likely still some way away from producing hardware and who knows what price BTC will be when we get there. If anyone is religious please pray for one thing - the price of BTC to climb. It would be tragic if a depressed BTC price put us out of competitive business and then two months later we saw BTC take off again. These things happen but that would be a killer to take.

Agree partly. But it's not unethical if you make it clear this is gambling pure and simple. Any stock can go up as well as down and any IPO can fail. Like you say there is no evidence yet that this IPO will succeed.

Good news or not (and we still don't know exactly what's coming), I would advise anyone already heavily invested here to not get in even deeper. There is no certainty in this industry. There are a handful of things that could still go seriously wrong from MSD to the technology itself to the CT exchange, to Ken loosing more coins. By all means put in money you can afford to loose (it helps my share paper-value increase afterall) but don't anyone be silly and be betting more money than you can afford to loose on this. We have enough DTS-type stories on here. Like any BTC Security, this is a high risk gamble.

We should be careful about giving that sort of prediction and advice on here especially when legal threats are flying round. The thing is there are  many many shareholders wanting out, they hold millions of shares between them and if Ken suddenly decides to put everyone up on Crypto-Trade price will go into free-fall as everyone gets out leaving buyers at 0.0007 in a bad situation potentially for several months.

Yes you may be right as the timeframe could still be quite extended. But CC are certainly going full implementation at some point.

I can't see how you are getting that from killerstorms update. He actually says under Current Status - 'Now we're getting close to a usable version'.

You are quoting him in a section where he's talking about his personal long term future involvement in CC and misappropriating that to the future of the project itself. He is saying he doesn't want to be tied to it's further longterm development and would prefer it if others could come on board and for the project to become more open-source and self-funding. If he gets a few more helping hands from this request CC could move on very quickly.

Before you have too much fun here step back and look a bit closer at all the connections.
Ingersoll have a catalog for their high precision drill tips available in Japanese:
Now WHY would that be the case for an engineering firm......based in Illinois???

http://www.ingersoll-imc.com/en/products/Ingersoll_Japanase_Cat_08.02.003.pdf


As you can see from the front page, Ingersoll are partnered here with TaeguTec
Now this is interesting....TaeguTec also use a logo symbol (TT) probablly also used on caps, but I'll leave that for someone else to investigate.
The other significant thing I uncovered (and this is big) was the iconography being used by TaeguTec - LOOK at this, is it Bitcoins or WHAT?!





That is way too much of a coincidence. Seriously...this runs DEEP. They are clearly involved with Bitcoins in a significangt way. It's just too blatent.

So many possibilities to explain what is going on but I would begin by suggesting that Dorian is the real Nakamoto, he clearly works for Intersoll who have partner with TaeguTec and together they are planning to tunnel directly into the blockchain using dark technology Gold-tipped liquid cooled Drill bits. Now clearly there must be an end-goal here as just tunneling into the blockchain is not going to achieve much - previous attempts were quickly sealed by the community. The idea must therefore be for Satoshi to send one of his trains into the tunnel to recover his lost BTC. Think about it, a grown man of his incredible foresight and intelligence playing with choo-choo Trains and drill-bits? It can't be for fun. He must have lost his private keys (as has been long suspected) and sees this sort of direct drill malleability attack as the one certain method of success and gaining access once again to his millions of Dollars worth of coins.

If Dorian is the originator of the blockchian then he most certainly knows the location of a backdoor where a combined 'super-maximal' forced drill attempt could most likely succeed.

It is reminiscent of the eurotunnel logo so the cap could be a purchase from a visit or trip through a new rail tunnel. Japan has a few substantial rail tunnels. The writing on the side of the cap - could it be Japanese lettering? 

I think this deserves a countdown timer?

Not just that,  also your private key is never entered online or put into a device that goes online even when you send a transaction. If your private key ever goes online the wallet is no  longer cold. 

Jo,  

Sorry to press the point as it's a bit academic but again, someone accessing a cold wallet on a given day tells you nothing whatsoever about how long it takes or difficult the process has been made to access that wallet.

To access this wallet Ken may have to travel to a bank in another city, he may also have to give notice of his visit. He may then have to visit a second bank to retrieve the second portion of a split private key. I can't see how you can make an inference that access is easy just because access has been made recently.

edit-  OK maybe this is something to do with you not knowing that you can send from a cold wallet when you use Armory .

I can't see how a transaction occurring today says anything about the set up of the wallet or how easy it is to access.
