[ActiveMining] The Official Active Mining Discussion Thread

[abuelau]

If I were Ken, I would also use friedcat's post as a reference. Why re-invent the wheel? There are things you can just copy from the best (and there will be still other things you can improve, but this 1 paragraph text is not the thing Ken needs to spend most of his time with).

You could theoretically make a USB miner out of one of these chips, with voltage requirement only slightly higher than friedcats.  It would be roughly the same size as an asicminer usb, but cranking out 16GH/s.  How would you cool these little bitches though?  Fans just don't just don't cut it..

edit:  What if you were to extend the usb miners with conductive plating ..these plates would stick into a refrigerant filled vessel that's part of a cooling system.  The plates would be constantly drawing heat away from the miners via heat conduction.

Or something like this that fits around it,

I think he just used friedcat's spec post as a reference. It keeps things consistent.

Yes and competitors do this all the time in the real world - it's called a 'side by side comparison' and I think it would have been done intentionally.

Hmm, Plagiarize VS Reference.

Maybe Ken should change his ID to FiredDog. Side By Side Competition.

How do you plagiarize the typographical layout of chip specifications from a freaking forum post?

[BlockChains]

Let's talk about something related. What if, the deal with eAsic is real, and in September or October, the chips flow in, and ActM has better chips faster and before anyone else. And what is ActM ends up mining their own hardware, and selling mining hardware and does well? And what if, with those revenues, ActM does the next thing and develops the following generation of miner, or expands in to other areas of bitcoin development.

Well, that is likely to happen, and more likely than your doom scenarios given what we know about what is in the planning development and negotiation stages.

Active Mining Overview

 Once production of the chips begin, eASIC states they will deliver sample chips in 9 weeks, low volume chip production in 12 weeks, and full production in 16-18 weeks.  For more information on eASIC please see the links below.

Wouldn't the earliest we'd see the chips would be late November assuming 12 weeks from the end of August?There's a possibility eAsic already started production closer to the beginning of August and they just haven't announced anything but even then with "low volume production" being 12 weeks later that means the earliest we could expect to see chips would be early November if everything went according to the stated schedule.

It's not 'typographical layout' it's copying, pasting, and replacing a few words.  He'd definitely get in trouble for it if it was an academic assignment.

Like I said, not evidence of a scam, but sloppy and unprofessional.

[Stuartuk]

sloppy. ..

It's not sloppy or unprofessional if he's copied the layout on purpose so that potential investors can do a quick side by side comparison with the big competition. I would say that is smart. It shows Ken recognised where the challenge lay (in pulling some investors away from AM) and shows he is recognizing he needs to make chip spec info accessible and quickly cross checkable for interested parties.

What the hell?

How old are you?

This is the real world, this happens all the time, this isn't some high school class....

Wake up man, life is going to hit you hard if you have the mentality that life is like the inside of a classroom.

Quoted for truth. People are making a big deal over nothing.

yo what up with the the "major news update?!"

my patience grows weary as does my loyalty.

Just to be clear, no official source stated anything about a "major news update" today.

I am also wearing of the radio silence regarding the NRE, but lets not get ourselves all worked up over unsubstantiated claims made on these forums.

Now is the time to go all in.
The price isn't budging any lower and positive news has to be imminent.

Patience is a virtue

Keep up the good work Ken & team!

[knybe]

All I'm saying is the year is fast coming to a close and it's ALL SILENT with regards to substantial information as to progress.

Hell I just read somewhere that KnC took delivery of ASIC boards.

Would be nice to see SOMETHING, even just a tiny bit of news to know if anything is happening.


EDIT: I find it frustrating to read news in the trades media, all over the place, of competitors moving ahead and not one word as to anything taking place with ActM...

I've been patient but time moves 10x faster in this space than regular business. If we're not keeping pace, or moving ahead then what are we doing?

[MilkyLep]

Just to play an elementary child's version of a devil's advocate, no it doesn't.

Im referring to the fact that even if this whole Easic deal goes down the shitter at least we have more chips on the way

If the eASIC deals falls through, and you're still holding shares, you should get a pre-order on your official 'Bag Holder' t-shirt.

Weak hands.
Please sell me your shares

this ain't a poker game, fanboy.

btw, snarky noob fanfoys in this forum are now instantly ignored along with the trolls.
