Got that meeting with Ken tomorrow. Then have to catch a flight back home shortly after so I might not report back until Tuesday morning unless I get bored at the airport in between.

I was wondering when it was going to take place. Thanks for checking in.

I would almost wager that any answer worth a damn is going to reference an "NDA".

I expect nothing new out of the meeting.
We are a month away from even getting an estimate on when the chips might arrive.

My prediction: June 2015.

Well You will be wrong On that Prediction





Since I know when the Next batch of Chips Will arrive, And the total Speed of that chip Batch :-)

But I will Let Ken Announce it


I am Under an agreement not to announce it


But to Prove I know it I will send it to Myself in a Email Which When it is announced I will Gladly Forword it so that it shows the Date and everything posted today

As you can see, I predicted this (evidence below) a bit over a year ago.

Given what you know, would you say Ken is likely to release this information as part of Wednesdays update?

As you know the chip specifications, are you able to say if we will be pleasantly surprised when we get that data?

Post a hash of the email (perhaps even in a text document) and post it here.

Sending oneself an email in the age of the hash is poor form and workings of a scam.

Ken needs to release significant information himself through an official announcement  so regardless of NDA's we shouldn't expect anything chunky from Bargraphics' visit.  What would prove useful is if Bargraphics shares his observations and impressions of the company, the staff and the main man himself, Ken.  Also photos of anything and everything are welcome, however please only post images of Ken with his eyes open!

  hope you are right.

[VinceSamios]

This weeks questions for Ken - please PM me if you would like to add to the list.

Questions:

Have you had any sample chips at any point? If so, did they work?

 Huh When are sample chips expected? Sample, low volume and normal production estimate dates?

 Huh How long do you expect board design and production to take?

 Huh In your progress report of November 30th 2013 you stated "We have this last week shipped our first products to customers." - What product was shipped?

What reason caused the change of plans and alteration of schedule? Were your initial timeline commitments too optimistic or was there a catastrophic failure? (if so, what?)

If you are still at the design phase now, what have you been doing for the last 6-8 months?

Are you in a position to be able to refund your customers every penny or have you spent some of the pre-order money? (Partially answered by Bargraphics trip report)

Is preorder money converted to BTC or kept as fiat?

Up until a week or so ago, Ken was telling people if they ordered TODAY they would receive a miner in feb/march - Is this still the case?

 Huh Ken mentioned additional hashrate came online in November, what machines were those?

When was the new engineering firm engaged?

Can you give us a rough timeline of the full design and creation process, where we were set back, and what part of the process flow we are looping back over now.

Is there a problem with eASIC's 28nm process?

Did we face delays because Intellihash is being incorporated or is it because the boards weren't designed properly to begin with?

Who exactly is the Engineering Firm that was hired, and how long ago did this hiring take place?

Can you summarise your meetings with eASIC and the PCB engineers?

Those are all retarded questions in my opinion.

What do you mean... "Next batch"? Are you saying there have already been batches?

[JoTheKhan]

Man why do you guys buy into what others say? Who cares if he knows when stuff might be coming out, he's trolling you (whether he knows or not). You guys need to stop biting on any bone throne at you like a rabid dog. Sit back, look at what Bargraphics says (Pictures please). Analyze it with the utmost scrutiny, do some due diligence for once. Then wait till Wednesday, look at what Ken says, (Pictures please, Deadlines, Wtf was hashing in November already?). Analyze it with the utmost scrutiny. Sit back wait till next Wednesday, repeat.

I still believe in ActiveMining and I think that people like CanadianGuy and GJPminingco are as bad as the trolls for our company. Making up optimistic lies can easily damage our reputation even more by setting everyone up for a bigger fail.

Some people on this thread are utterly disgusting and should be permanently banned from BitcoinTalk.

If GJPminingco was for real, he would have respected Ken's wishes and posted nothing at all if the information was given to him in confidence.

June 2015??  Are you nuts?  It will take at LEAST 3 years from seeing a chip.  And that's even with SuperMagnoIntelllicopters .. er... "intellihash"
