Okay, Ken seriously needs to hire a graphics/web designer. This is the image on TGB article:



Those are like, some of the most obviously photoshopped on logos ever.

Note to Ken and Board: Product complexity is BAD. Simplify the offerings! Confused customers is no good.

Well done. They needed a nudge.
Agreed about product complexity...

Absolutely.  Along with raw chips, they should have ONE product, or one product where the only configuration is the number of modules.  Avalon had one modular product, Bitfury has one modular product, KnC has one modular product (1 module for mercury, 2 for Saturn, 4 for Jupiter)   HashFast and cointerra have a single modular product.

Multiple cases mean multiple delays. Look at BFL with three different case designs.

LOL. This is true...

Agreed. The whole website is a bit user unfriendly imho. But that's not the highest priority right now, I guess. Still two months till ETA.

Anyway. I kinda love his funny image skills.

Evokes bitcoins being pooped, in an orderly fashion, out of the global cyber-butthole.

VMC should offer:

1. 256GH Module's
2. Host Machine
3. Expansion Case
4. Chips

I see no point in offering 64gh modules

Also according to TGB, the Silver Unit (2 Module) at $4,543 is cheaper per GH than the $353,777 Platinum Unit (6 Module x 6 cases) - which is a little offensive to potential buyers of the big fella $353k product.

If they're miners are really just PCI-e cards, they should really just sell the cards and let people put them in their own motherboards/cases. Should be able to get 8 per motherboard.

The goal should be to make manufacturing a simple as possible.

At the bottom of the article they say that ActM are both fast hash and hash fast.   Is this good or bad?

[zefyr0s]

Likely a mistake, another I saw: "KNC and HashFast orders placed now are expected to ship at the end of November, while VMC and CoinTerra’s orders will be shipping in December. " Wait, whu..? VMC and HashFast would be the same chips, no?

Also, I read this "HashFast (a separate company from ActiveMining’s Fast-Hash chip)" is that what you saw?

HashFast is different to Fast-Hash - and I think ActM should send a cease and desist letter frankly... because it is clearly confusingly similar.

The article also said VMC might have chips in October/November - presumably they are talking about shipping dates for hardware orders, not for ActM hashing.

Anyone with concerns regarding the images , website, pricing, etc. should write thoughtful, details messages to Ken. He reads his inbox quite regularly. Get in touch with the man himself and let him know what you think!

Personally I think this image is pretty inspirational. It encompasses a lot of the qualities and aspects of Bitcoin ie it's global (globe background), it's a digital currency (zeros and ones), it's mined (mine entrance), it is globally significant (central Earth), it's pretty bloody exciting (lazer vortex!). I think the month since IPO it took Ken to make this was time well spent. And you guys wonder what he's been up to? I mean, come on, LOOK at this - it's amaze-balls!!!

Looks more like a SR promo to me.

This one's even more inspirational -- price halves in one day


Edit: GO GO GO!

It's like the cover of a cheesy rap album

VMC - sucking up all your coins into a black hole!

There was this guy with the name hy.. or something, the one with those shiny business cards, and as far as I remember he announced a few weeks ago that he and one other member is working on a new design and that this is coordinated with Ken. Anyone remembers this?
