[00:00:00] Out of Cycle Update.
[00:00:06] Ladies and gentlemen, I encourage you to join me in a round of applause for the Block DAG team Cryptotalk fm. My name is Leister. I'm your host. I watched the AMA number nine, led by Anthony Turner. Of course, Nick Vanderberg was present, Robert was present, and Liza Vanderberg for the. I think this is the first time I've seen her on one.
[00:00:24] This and I. If you watch Nick's Business, I. I encourage you to watch AMA number nine and contrast the two so you can understand what a real professional presentation is supposed to look like. Because AMA number nine is what I expected from Nick Vanderberg, who, by the way, was wearing a blazer. He actually looked like an executive for a change. Everything was presented perfectly. Turner owned it. He apologized for things. He explained stuff. He talked about dates that we got ahead of ourselves. We made a mistake here. We got that wrong. We miscalculated this. He talked about the Ivy Link. He didn't name it, but it had to be Ivy Link because that's where they put the name out. And then they said, we're going to be shipping imminently. He called that specifically out and he basically said people tried to contact IB Link and they weren't having it and so they severed the relationship. If you remember what I said about Vos Coin when I came at him, vos Coin admitted IvyLink wouldn't respond to him at first. Later he came back to me and said, okay, now. They came back and said, there's no deal and they're not doing any sort of minors for these guys. This is now in concert with what Turner's saying, that at one point they had a deal and because. And Turner said a bunch of people. So not just Ross Coin contacted Ivy Link to try to confirm it was legit. And IB Link's like, we don't get paid to do your customer service here. We're severing this. That would now confirm. Then IB Links telling the truth, that initially they're not responding. Maybe there's some sort of a silent agreement and it's a one off something later. They're getting hammered by a bunch of people in the community trying to verify what's going on. And Ivy Link's like, screw that. We don't get enough money for this. We're not your call center. They cut the relationship. Now they're able to tell Vos Coin, no, we don't have anything. Which is probably true because of the timing. But it doesn't say that they didn't have A relationship. This is what I'm saying to When I came at Vosk, it's like, dude, there had to be something. We see something and it doesn't matter. And I said in a video, maybe they did an OEM arrangement. Turner in this one admitted that with the new supplier, it's an OEM arrangement. Of course they listen to Michelle at CryptoTalk FM. It's obvious that they do. And I'm glad I said it before us. That hold them accountable. It they are changing, right? They course correct and they are improving. Nick wearing a blazer now, owning and apologizing, owning up to the date stuff, course changing, adjusting everything is exactly what we want, which is you're coming more transparent, you're coming more legitimate, you're acting like a business. And for Binance stuff, if you hear this, this was so professionally done. The video quality is actually pretty good. They had some Internet connection issues, but nowhere near what we saw in some of the older footage. Liza Vandenberg, she comes across very well. She's a very nice person. She's very likable.
[00:03:09] She comes across very well. She was talking about the hackathons. They said, we want more of these people out there who are getting great ideas and developing things and the grants and everything else. It was very well done. They talked about the difference between beat vesting and zero vesting. And they broke down the price breakout where I was talking about the price shifts that you see. It all has to do with the bonus and the lockups and things. And they broke down the specifics of how that worked. Folks, this is what you should always have been shooting for. I'm not talking even the Turner stuff. I'm talking everything.
[00:03:44] True transparency, detailed information, apologies, owning it, being accountable for the things that you screw up. And you say, this is what we're now doing in order to get things back on track. They talked about logistics issues. They didn't just make an excuse about Amazon Prime. They said things have to go through customs. Depending on the country. There's a different.
[00:04:05] We're working through certain things in the United States. The X10 has to go through other hoops. And this is what I'm saying, you break it down of exactly what's going on. That's exactly it. He called out. What I called out in terms of this was, you know, months ago, you said you were going to have the miners. They actually addressed that. Turner said, we got it wrong. We told you it was going to come way back then because of what happened with the supplier. We had the course correct, et cetera and so on, and then the FCC and everything else. That's all. That's all. When we, the critical ones we are criticizing this is the value of doing that because it's clear they listen to the show and they take the strong feedback that has substance. They take it and they course correct, which can only do what benefit the community. That's why we're here. That's why you don't want group think, that's why you don't want rah rah all the time. That's why you don't want people who just see the positive and ignore the negative. You should welcome the critical because legitimate projects will take the criticism and they'll course correct and get back on track and move things in the right direction. They shared links to their board where you can see the status of their work products. They shared link to the idea portal where you can sit, submit ideas. Now, they are only on the technical side. You can't do ideas on the marketing, which is what I wanted to do. But the point is transparency is increasing, which you should be celebrating. It shouldn't be that you're only going off the FOMO and cheering about price. It doesn't really matter. To wit, they talked about Turner kept saying, you know, launching this year. And I've said, and I will say, if you're holding to the 600 million, I don't see a reason you're going to be able to launch this year. I simply don't. So are you going to drop the 600 million if you're not that this year? That is an aggressive target. They clarified that the Singapore is not to launch the product. It's what they refer to as a marketing launch. And I want you to be clear about what they're saying. A marketing launch is what they always do. They're telling you the word launch, but they don't mean the product, they mean launch of the marketing launch of a certain code, launch of a, you know, stage of the pre sale or whatever. They're like milestones, right? That's what they mean when they say, quote, launch on the site.
[00:06:18] So this now with the Singapore, you're not going to get a product on the Singapore. It's another marketing thing. And Nick talked about having their own setup, which is fine. I don't want you to get the impression that you're going to have the blockchain or anything live at that point. You're not yet, because it's not ready yet. And it seems like they're going to hold fast to the 600 million. I just said you're not going to be able to launch this year. Then if that's the case, it's fine. Because at least now they're being clear.
[00:06:44] We still plan to launch this year. We've got to get the miners out there. These are all things that Turner said. We got to get the miners out there. The miners need to be in the wild. They said something interesting as I wrap up. They talked about the shift from software mining, which would be the x10 and x1, to ASIC mining. Does that then mean that the x10 will no longer be able to mine? Because I would assume that the X10 does not have true ASIC hardware inside of it. That's an open question that we'll have to watch as we go on. But in the meantime and in between time, we all should celebrate this ama. And we should shoot to have this kind of AMA on an ongoing basis. We should encourage more people to watch this kind of ama. We should denounce any other kind of ama. That is not this level of professionalism. This is what we need to see across the board. And as we go forward. The only other thing I could wish for is to get rid of the astronauts. I know I'm not going to get my wish.
