Thanks for the update, I love seeing pictures and videos from the front line. Granted I have no idea what is being measured in the second picture. From the tasks name I assume it's testing the functionality of the Avalon chips by applying a voltage?
This is great. Thanks to Ken and any others involved in getting us to this point and for acknowledging the value that another team member for PR, etc can provide.
I do have to say that the pics and video are anticlimactic due to their lack of substance. No pics of Avalon chips or demo boards? No video of the device running next to a screen that shows how much it's hashing? I encourage the team to share meaningful photos and video otherwise there is no point and you're giving fodder to the FUDs.
Concerning better media:
As was mentioned in the press release, Ken spent an extra day with the engineering firm to get the unit hashing. All of his time was focused on the prototypes, this delayed dividend payments, as well as any time to take meaningful pictures or videos.
The prototype is being shipped to Ken as we speak. You can expect hashing and more detailed videos soon!
