[finlof]

what about those of us who have shares on cryptostocks?  when would we expect dividends?  would these shares be transferred to crypto-trade?

[VolanicEruptor]

Just added more funding to CT in case some panic happens

Excellent choice!   

[Minor Miner]

Which is more insane?
Investing and holding a stock in a company run by someone that constantly lies to you about the progress he is making on a product that he has no experience with OR believing that when the "stock" starts trading again there will be people more foolish than the current shareholders with money willing to take these shares off your hands?

SHHHHH!!!!

Let the bulls pump the price so the rest of us can GTFO of this at a decent price.

[Vigil]

There won't be enough buyers until at least more specific news comes in and more than likely until we are hashing and delivering.

[Jasun7211]

Did we have an update today?

[kslaughter]

Ken would have to notify any other registered parties that Ukyo owes money to about this sale of the assets, and would have to distribute any proceeds over and above what is owed to them.

We are in a grey area as you have indicated. Little in the BTC industry operates within the letter of the law as it is currently written.

The action Ken is taking is within the spirit of the law - that which is the underlying intention. That intention is that an individual or company can hold the assets of a debtor and sell them to recover their losses if the debtor does not or can not pay up. That is as far as you can go.

You are implying that Ukyo could take Ken to court but what legislation would he use? The shares he will claim to own are not registered securities, the BTC he used to buy them is not a legally recognised currency, the exchange he set up was not registered etc etc. Do you see the problem? In other words if Ken can't do X because the legislation does not appply then Ukyo cannot do Y (bring him to court) because the legislation does not apply.

At the end of the day common sense needs to be applied in any Grey Area. So I would maintain that Ken is doing the right thing.

Actually, it isn't in the spirit of the law. Construction liens and garage owners liens are designed to protect tradesmen who invest time, materials and money into your house/car/etc. If they do that and you don't pay them for the work, they are able to put a lien on that item. Even then, there are specific ways they have to go about resolving the lien. If you don't pay your roofer he can't put a lien on your car or cottage, and a garage owner can't put a lien on your house if he worked on your car. If you refuse to pay your roofer after you get shingles installed and he takes your car until you pay him, both he and everyone else who might be owed money on the car have every reason to go after you.

I have no idea what sort of corporation/LLC/entity Ukyo's businesses were registered as, but Ken seizing and selling the ActM shares to cover the We-Ex debt, besides being somewhat morally suspect, is almost certainly not legal.

[CanadianGuy]

Vigil is right.  Ken needs to create value if we expect to see any shares being sold, at any price.  You were all warned over and over that this day would come when everyone holds worthless shares.

Ken, are you selling Ukyo's shares up to the point where you recoup the funds that were lost through BitFunder and then returning the remaining share?

CORPORATE AND COMPENSATION LAWS

Are the shares owned by Ukyo owned by Bitfunder, Ukyo personally, or We-Ex? It isn't a inconsequential difference if you're seizing them to pay the We-Exchange debt. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, you can't just seize Ukyo's shares if a limited liability corporation that Ukyo is a principal of owes you money.

[zefyr0s]

If you think that Ken has made any of these decisions without the direction of his lawyers you are bonkers.

Ukyo will still be able to recoup his shares minus whatever lien was imposed upon it.

I agree it gets complicated at that point, but the ball is in Ukyo's court on how he would like to challenge it.

I don't really know why everybody is arguing this point, it's somewhat silly.

Ukyo was in IRC and I believe said he personally owned ActM Shares. I'm pretty sure Ukyo is aware of what Ken is doing and agreed to it possibly reluctantly (Although it would be nice for him to confirm this)

[shrodes]

Does anyone know the value of Bitcoins ACTM lost out of BitFunder?

Bitfunder/WeExchange Problems:

We have ~106 BTC in the Bitfunder/WeExchange system which we can not obtain.  We have sent Bitfunder's/WeExchange's Ukyo a Legal Demand For Payment within 72 hours.  We expect this problem to result in the loss of the 106 BTC.  We are meeting with our Lawyers to determine what our next steps will be.  This 106 BTC has been deducted from our liquid cash position above.

I don't recall him agreeing at all. I actually remember him saying what Ken is doing is blatantly wrong and illegal. He said something along the lines of his personal shares of ACTM have nothing to do with the Bitfunder/Weexchange issue and Ken can't just take them from him.

[knybe]

Fuck that. If the guy played with, lost and now owes monies then get it out of him in anyway possible. I don't know why anyone is arguing about or defending this sheister.

[pheaonix]

happy 420. ukyo is indeed a cunt.

[gogxmagog]

I don't get how Ukyo can claim he isn't allowed to say what happened to the btc. What could possibly have happened that would require a gag-order? whole thing sounds like b.s. to me, but what do I know, or any of us for that matter since everything is kept secret. It does make sense for design and manufacturing businesses to have NDA clauses, with the competition and all, but money management services should hopefully be a little more transparent than this.

This is all the sort of malfeasance that attracts regulators, sloppy business practices should be strongly discouraged in this community... I feel like half of these exchanges are run by teenagers between getting home from school and dinnertime, not dedicated responsible adults who have ethical business practices and basic common sense.

1.9GH/s and 2.5W, estimated end of profitable hashing:
0.20 $/kWh - July
0.15 $/kWh - August
0.10 $/kWh - September
One month extra if BTC at $2k. From selling point, it can make wide customer base for future 28nm but needs high volume, no preorders, sell at costs, deliver on time.

How about 0.017 $/kWh  

A simple interpolation of his figures would suggest mid-July.

But that assumes his maths above is correct.

I'd like to see the figures on this - what difficulty increased have you presumed kactech? Please show us your calculation.

0.017 not 0.17

What's the point of calculating electricity costs when none of the significant costs (chips, boards, BOM ) are known?  

I tried to look for the absolute limits of rational use as BTC miner for potential customers, hardware(if not broken) still can generate heat, lulling hum(?), mine alts, can be sold.

[iSnow]

Interesting how many here defend Ukyo who stole money from the company. I wonder at your motives.
