To deal with some more points brought up both by fudsters and those people who are replying to it.

I've already explained why an NDA can prevent some of the things mentioned here from being discussed, so to bring it up again is to spread FUD to affect share price.

eASIC have not said they are producing anything from VMC. That's a key thing we're waiting on.

No one here knows whether chips will be Sept, Oct or Nov. Any of you claiming otherwise are making it up for your own purposes. Please don't. That's something that has to come from Ken sooner or later.

Please stop replying to crumbs, pompo et al. All you're actually doing is spreading more fud as a result and once again making the thread useless. You're not doing anyone any favours by replying. Use your ignore list, that's what it's there for.

If you want to engage trolls, PM or use the speculation thread.

Ken's aware of views here. Regardless of shareholders, he needs the press and confidence that an eASIC press release would bring. Prospective buyers need it, especially after Avalon and bfl let everyone down. So it's important for all shareholders, short or long term.

Also no need to say ken/pr. Ken is behind all the news, pr just helps word it and ensure it's the right thing to be saying. No news, no pr. The last main post we asked to come from Ken himself as it wasn't a regular news item.

Part of the problem with bitcoin is things happen so fast, prices move a lot based on very no news, fud, or low volumes, and people are very reactive, shouty and impatient. This happens across many offerings - read some other threads!

Since nothing is going to happen for a few days now, it may be best to step away from the day prices and forum for your own sanity!

It isn't ken's choice but an eASIC requirement. If/when eASIC issue a press release, the NDA situ will change. Else ken needs to negotiate certain items can be made public.

Nothing is going to happen for the next few days due to holidays, however.

I can answer a bit of this though I'm as frustrated as anyone.

He genuinely can't discuss anything which would imply a deal had or hadn't been made yet with eASIC.

It's not a situ that can continue any longer IMHO (because he needs some press coverage as well as long term shareholders being unhappy about lack of information) and we've made that clear. Ken is not the best at handling the public side of things as we all know and tends to focus on his engineering.

It's a holiday in the US Monday but tues onwards we'll continue to push him daily to ensure he is chasing it up as his highest priority. We want to see this put to bed within the next week or so but it's not down to us.

Please take this to the Speculation thread.

(yes I'm going to keep reminding people)

Again, get the speculation off this thread please guys.

Not him.

Every single one of your points heavily advised (more than you possibly imagine as Ken will attest to) and some of which are being acted on. We'll keep working on the rest.

The next person to mention the logo is going to get ..... something.

I think it may have got fixed a bit, but not properly. It's still on the very lengthy website to-do list they have from us.

At least we've got rid of a lot of the superfluous store stuff (much more to go) and had the text rewritten.

Please give it another day or two then contact us with bugs or use issues and we'll stack them up and pass them on. There have been so many that we're bound to have missed some.

That's something to do a short while after the eASIC announcement in order to keep the PR ball rolling. You need to keep the press going.

We've moved heaven and earth on that front, but we're only going to get tweaks and bug fixes in the immediate future. We've supplied a very large number of those, particularly to try and make the store less of a clunkfest and to get visitors where they need to go quicker.

Ken wants to keep his current site as he doesn't want to risk changes at the moment,  although he does accept it needs some minor improvement. He definitely has a typical engineer's view of it - he doesn't see the quality of it or how difficult it is to understand and use. He also says customers are happy with the store.

If you have feedback on the current site then send him a PM.

Guys, can we not reply to Icebreaker et al here. Those posts are for the speculation thread or PM, not for here.

More feedback on the avalon situation would be appreciated.

I expect it'd go back into the revenues needed to get through the various plans, reducing sales requirements accordingly, so potentially speeding things up a little.

Since time is, quite literally, money, I could see its worth.

Go pay them and see if it works 

$5k?

Vince, a key part was earning dividends from Avalon in the very near future, if not now. It's not Ken's fault that's gone screwy, but you don't speak for all shareholders. Also, a refund doesn't have to be paid back in one dividend.

I've clearly said it's better for the business (to reinvest) and I've also clearly said that there are also shareholders of various kinds to consider who have given us different feedback (certainly on more than this public page).

When I said 'some' support I meant that in a positive sense BTW and let Ken know accordingly.

Clearly if Ken reinvests the money then it's better in the long term as long as all the plans are followed through.

That decision ought to have strong back though, so please keep posting.

In pure company terms absolutely, but there are shareholders who have been unhappy and understandably so, and there are shareholders who expected dividends sooner rather than later.

We've let Ken know there is some support at 100%.

Vince, if you're a public company and you raise money with a prospectus defining what it'll be used for, you can't then just change it's use. If you're a private company then you can do what you want.

ActiveMining is in a grey area in between.

It's not as simple as, "it's ActiveMining's money to do with as they wish" - shareholders have different opinions too.

I can go either way but 50:50 works for me. Other opinions may differ.
