Big advancements of the graphic end of VMC today, I've been working with another web developer/designer who's been given the go ahead to develop the new VMC website. As of now the new logo has been finished and paid for and the design brief for the rest of the website is in the pipeline, hopefully I'll have more to show when progress is further underway!
Im very excited to see the results! Thanks for your work on this  |

Please tell me if I'm woefully mistaken on this:
From what I can tell, if ActM hit all their projections, the eASIC deal comes to fruition on time, we start pounding out chips and hardware, adding to our own mining, etc., ActM would almost certainly be a top 3 bitcoin-related hardware/mining company.
Is that wrong?
I know there was some talk about comparison to ACISMINER in here and the Speculation thread, but I've got to believe that having such an apparently capable chip manufacturer as eASIC in your pocket, would have to give you a huge leg up - potentially to a point of drastically surpassing everyone (albeit not forever).
Now, again, this makes some assumptions on the order of what could be called entirely egregious. No matter. I'm interested in the hypothetical.

That's why some of us are here...for the huge potential this stock/fund has is.
Handled right it could be one of the big three, handled wrong...they drift into obscurity.
(But the spark of potential is definitely there.)
The biggest factor with all these funds is getting the real goods out of prototype as early as possible.

Ok. If this is the case, then I have another question:
As of right now, who are the competitors to ActM that will also be manufacturing/designing their own chips?
From what I can gather: Cointerra, ASICMINER, KnC, and I believe Labcoin are all either looking to manufacturer their own stuff, or are already doing so. Who am I missing?

Maybe this is short-sighted, but I'm not really concerned about BFL at the moment. They seem to be a total laughing stock and while they'll still likely sell some hardware, I think their time in the spotlight is coming to a fast close. |

BTCGarden has stated they are moving forward with their hardware....they just aren't going to offer an IPO for it anymore. |

Cointerra are 28nm, but are making some crazy claims that I dont have to much faith in re hashspeed per chip ASICminer are currently 130nm, and looking at 65nm Labcoin are also 130nm, and from what I have heard not looking into going smaller BTCGarden are also 130nm Hashfast also making crazy announcements at 28nm If ActiveMining can deliver on time, they will definitely be in the best position of them all |

If I'm up-to-date, the skepticism surrounding the other 28nm chips with such high hashrates is in heat management, is that right? I also recall someone mentioning something about signal interference, but I didn't understand that. |

Not a clue. I'm trying to lobby for consistent weekly updates over in the Speculation thread. I really think this would remove a huge amount of the FUD that's been plaguing both ActM threads, as well as provide shareholders with more confidence. We're not talking Creativex-level updates, just one each week on a certain day - news or no news. |

Vbs can explain it far better than I can |

I also recall someone mentioning something about signal interference, but I didn't understand that. vbs is your man for that kind of answer. He suggests that it beggers belief that so many people are investing into these projects willy-nilly without actually understanding them and doing their homework. The claim that a massive chip is able to consume 350 watts is dream-land material, so I hear. And as a man who draws over 500 watts gaming on two AMD cards, I can see why. In this case heat dispersion is a major factor. Not to mention power draw. If companies like AMD & Nvidia spend hundreds of milllions on R & D in order to tweak out the best competitive benchmarks, how on this planet Earth is a Bitcoin start-up going to out perform them? These are nothing more than bold claims that some btc mining companies are making with their 'super' chip designs. |

Can you post some previous work that Hashfast has been involved with? Are there any major companies they have done work for, such as hard drive manufacturers? Just curious, I'm interested in putting some money into this but I haven't really heard anything about "hashfast" other than its name. I am curious as to what they have produced rather than what they are "going" to produce |
