I was given a two week ban for trolling following a rather distasteful row with VE.  I thought you guys knew this? StuartUk, VE, crumbs and myself all got the same treatment as far as I know which was an excellent move on the part of the mods who I congratulate for doing so.  It means that finally they will take action against trolls which frees up this message board somewhat and allows for discussion.  Looking back at this last weeks posts, I'd say it was an absolute success!  


Edit:  at the end of the day the mods on this forum are very anti-censorship and rightfully so, but were forced to intervene because it got so out of hand. 

I am a man of my word and those 2btc are still there at 0.0005, so yes we are still on.  For those who may not remember, I made an open offer to anyone that I would be happy to finance a visit to Ken if I were able to turn a profit by being able to buy at 0.0005 (which I still maintain is not going to happen) and sell at a higher price to sponsor this visit.

Jasun, truth is I may be soon forced to cash in those 2btc as I have a cash flow problem coming up, however I am crossing my fingers that we can get on CT soon and will be able to sell a few shares anyway, meaning yes we are still on.

Edit:  lol, it has just occurred to me that if I get to sell any of my shares then those 2btc worth at 0.0005, as a purchase, most certainly won't happen!  It's fine though because I'll still be happy to finance your visit in that case.  I'm in Scotland so count me out, but Bargraphics says he'll be visiting Ken soon.  Makes sense that you both do it as a joint visit?

I have exchanged PM's with this Jasun person so I know it's not me and I have been open about my zumzero identity.   One thing I would say about Jasun is that I wish he would post more often because he is clearly knowledgeable and has previously shared his optimism for ActM.

Understand that the logical solution is not always the actual outcome.

Listen, I have always been labelled as a cheerleader (which I think is an overused and misrepresented term which has it's roots in the North American culture) however am merely an optimist with a positive outlook on life who wants to share.  My positive voice is often neutralised by those with opposing outlooks and that is the way it should be, because all things find balance eventually.  Where I find issue is with people who use their powers of manipulation to lie and deceive, at others expense, for their own gain.  I'm totally in this for the money myself and understand that to increase ones wealth another must equally lose theirs. That is the game, in this supposed free market, one which we have entered through choice and are duty bound to embrace loss the same way we would success.  

Active Mining is a strange beast because on one hand we all see enormous potential but on the other we see a company which is ill managed and unprofessional.  We have a CEO who has displayed characteristics unbecoming of such a role and yet there is unlikely to be one person here who would maintain that all hope is lost, even those of us who are also misrepresented as being 'trolls'.

Ken is a genuine and hard working person who is most certainly trying his very best to make this project work and is undeserved of the taunts and general abuse levelled toward him.  Constructive criticism is healthy and should promote discussion which ought to be the main purpose of this thread but there are too many here who are blinded by their own greed.  Such is the way and sadly it may always be the case, but I reach out to those who posses reason and request they make an effort to promote discussion over judgement.

No.  zumzero.  You like?

Your imagination serves you well and your instinct is spot on.  Ken will most certainly be holding back until after we are trading. 

I am happy to concede that I am wrong.  Thank you to those who corrected me. 

Not an acceptable response my friend. I value your opinion and have respect for you as one of the trustable few, however unless you can say 'total' certainty there will be doubts for all lurkers.  As you are happy to place your reputation on the line over this matter it is important that you can demonstrate you are not getting played.

Quantify 'high' certainty please.  Are you able to say 'total' certainty kleeck?

This is a numbers game of probability and it is naive to think that deception is not the prevalent tool used by people on this forum to expand their wealth, protect their investments and maintain their influence.  You simply can not trust anyone here as we are all competing against each other.

One other thing that must be understood about the more pressing issue of shares access is that there will be a very real and as of yet undisclosed reason to explain Ken's deafening silence here.  He his clearly approaching an announcement regarding a decentralised trading platform. 

And by others!

It is highly suspicious that someone like wiz claims to have never heard of ActiveMining when it is the top thread in 'Securities', with approaching one quarter of a million views.  Ask yourself how many people in this community who frequent this forum and run Bitcoin mining pools have never visited the 'Securities' pages of bitcointalk.  Then ask yourself of those who have visited 'Securities', how many will have magically missed the  ActiveMining thread each end every time they have visited and would have no conscious memory or awareness of ActiveMining.  Because of his outward refusal to post "It is not Active Mining" and his comment, "I'll just say I've never heard of Active Mining" I am extremely sceptical of wiz's honesty in this matter to say the least.
When you have exhausted and can discount all other available explanations what you are left with has the greatest likelihood of being the truth, namely the Eligius mining pool's top miner is using multiple ActM units which are the 24TH miners described on the eAsic press release.  It is merely a matter of time until Vigil is vindicated.   Just goes to show how easily fooled some people are.

Being pioneer is indeed risky.  Govs can only control when we comply. Bitcoin did not ask for permission but will prevail. Mr Slaughter is very criticised but seems to always demonstrate agility and adaption.  BTC is massive risk on every front.  Invested people are understandably scared of losing.  Mr Slaughter imo is playing long term advantage for shareholders as is very proud man.  Maybe detrators wany piece of pie too. Im confused on this board and sceptical of silly negative remarks.  Balanced discussion is welcome but far between yeah?

Forgive my opion if it hurts ActM diehards but CT exchange would be a mistake imo.  Decent solution is decentralised exchange and I think Mr Slaughter holds back answer for this reason. Minerpart has right feelings imo.  Goodluck.

Could still be Ark of the Covenant so maybe not all is lost.

Someone please explain would 24TH miners be using 16Gh chips before over clocked to 20Gh and before using Intelihash?  Maybe 'low volume' chips used for Eligius hardware and next batch more powerful?

I asked operator of Eligius pool wizkid057 if he could post confirmation that top miner in his pool is not ActM. He did so on Hashfast thread on 29th Dec because they were also excited it may be them.  He has activity today so has had opportunity to settle this once and for all however has not.  Maybe not proof it is ActM but if it was ActM he would not post here. Also top miner in Eligius makes more in 24 hours than Okyo owes Mr Slaughter.

Through process of elimination am convinced that machines on Eligius are ActM hardware.  Someone please explain pattern of drops in hashrate.  They occur every 24 hours at same time every day.  Seven of nine dropouts are at same time of day.  Three of these are minimum of 24 hours away from any hardware additions but still at same regular time?

edit  Other miners on Eligius suffer dropout on 29th Dec at exact same time too but only on this date even Bargraphics #13.

Could be cryptx PETA-MINE no?  Fits with dates and figures I think.
