Did somebody move a whole bunch of posts from the original holomove thread into their own topics? Or am I just going crazy, because I thought the posts disappeared and spent like 20 minutes looking for them...

yes, one of the mods/admins separated out the post into their own topics. And No, you're not going crazy.

don't feel lonely, hardly any of us can get it to load. That's why I gave up on it until we get something IG that points us in that direction. This seems to be the only important thing on there at the moment. But I could be wrong as I can't get it to load and most of the links are for private members.

HoloMove Commits to $500k Grant

Written by asqa
Thursday, 15 May 2008

HoloMove / Freyja Capital has today entered into a one year renewable grant committment with the ASQA in the amount of $500,000 US. Terms are not yet finalized, but we expect close within 30 days. Upon close, our FY08/09 operating budget will expand to roughly $1.5mm, however, as a condition of the grant we will be required to make a one-time capital allocation of approximately $200,000 US to interconnection and infrastructure upgrades specific to the needs of Freyja Capital who will be running a parallel installation of QuantBase. As part of this agreement, ASQA users will be allowed to opt-in to using spare time slices on Freyja's QuantBase server for their projects, though the Freyja server will be scaled according to ASQA design specifications, and therefore no user-proprietary information will be viewable by either HoloMove or Freyja (or anyone else).

On a technical note, many of you have noticed the process "holomove" which has been running for the past week with +1 priority on the QuantBase platform server(s). HoloMove is a Freyja Capital project and this process represented a one-time resource-intensive (and successful) test of their proprietary models on QB, upon which the grant committment was contingent. Going forward, both Freyja Capital and HoloMove have agreed to be bound by the same equitable and normal usage constraints to which all users (aside from "invisiblehand" and the ASQA community P2P Lending Project) are subject on the ASQA platform(s).


The part that catches my eye is the "invisiblehand'

Edit: By the way, is QuantBase really downloadable? I'm already registered with the site, but it keeps giving an alert telling me I'm not authorized to view the page.

I'm also keeping a wary eye at this site, am less than convinced it's in-game.

Firstly and most importantly, as mentioned above, there are no links from our in-game sites to this.
Secondly, it's always breaking.
Thirdly, related to this, is that it's made using a standard content management system (mambo), with not much additional customisation, (if any?).
Fourthly, the amount of information looks a lot, but it's all "password protected", which to me, means there is actually a very small amount of material, and the stuff viewable is only related to this ARG.

And lastly (fifthly!), Freyja having servers running their product is a bit unbelievable, seeing as they are a venture capital firm. To my mind, Freyja invest in Holomove. It's Holomove that should be doing the work.

Including this Freyja information makes it seem forced, over the top, game-jacky. Wonder what they will do with our email addresses if we enter them in..... ?

(my own opinion, of course.)

It looks to me like "invisiblehand" is the name of a registered user on ASQA.

Yeah probably, but as far as the "new user guide" tells us, it's almost impossible to register to see it.

Yes, the topic was split yesterday due to two puzzles being solved at the same time was causing confusion...
