Well, looks like that is where all the shares are leaking value to. I'm not exactly sure how Labcoin is going to compete though. Considering Avalon already dominates the 130nm chip space and others are already shooting for 28nm in the months ahead. I can only reason the investers flooded the IPO and are hoping for a quick rise from the early enthusiasm so they can bail as soon as the share price rises a little.

Solidly performing shares are being sold like they are going out of style just for this business plan. Am I biased in saying that Labcoin does not have such a solid plan? How can this possibly be competitive in relation to Asicminer et al?

Not only that, but sales on BTC-TC go on a first in first out policy.  So if you get your bid in at the lowest price point IPO sells at before the next guy, you win.  Placing bids sooner has an advantage.

Maybe not everyone has time to sit in front of their terminal all day?

that IPO doesn't go live for another 11 hours or so.

So, folks could get the AM dividend and then go jump on that, if they wanted.  no need to sell AM at 4.2.

I believe a good number of people may be pulling out to get in on the LABCOIN IPO.  The order book is already filled up to sell out the full compliment of shares the second it goes live... people are freaking out. https://btct.co/security/LABCOIN

it's funny to see that all these douchebags usually spamming this thread went surfing speculation bubbles somewhere else. Thank you activemining, labcoin etc!!! Thanky you!

the US is waking up, and the share price is creeping up in anticipation of the dividend

Another explanation USD/BTC rate. AM share price in USD remains relatively stable.

I agree with this, but I'd like to get more information from FC and the team about issues and products.  Some news about the new blades is overdue, IMO.

Have either of you run a data center in china or had customers in china connect to your datacenter in say Tokyo or NY? I have - it's not as easy as it is in other places around the world.

Let's wait for Friedcat's comments before we fix all his problems.

Asicminer IMO has something that outshines nearly every competitor out there.

Results.

Even Avalon is fumbling distribution of their Asics and angering customers that continue to wait. Asicminer also has the whole package of talent it needs to remain a permanent fixture into the future. They've also been in the mining game the longest. That should speak volumes.

Asicminer has months before the supposed competition even gets in on the ground floor with their next gen ASICS, and lets not forget there is no guarantee the chips they do produce will be as efficient on paper or work to spec. Regardless of their experience or talent, all these new Asic designers should be considered rookies. Whats more there seem to be a percieved rush to get these chips made asap, and there is a much higher likelihood mistakes will be made, and any chink in these new designs could be the difference between getting to market first of getting left behind. BFL is a classic example of what happens in that situation.

I think what's happening is people see movement with new competitors and this has ruffled feathers, people are rushing to lock in gains, shifting money to new offerings in the hope it'll take off like Asicminer did, etc.

I'm expecting in a few days the shine will dull on these companies that have delivered zilch, and Asicminer will continue to underpromise and overdeliver in the coming weeks. I also highly doubt that Friedcat has been sitting idly by while competitors pull the rug out from under him with more efficient chips.

I'm almost certain they could fix the issue in 20 minutes by just editing the config-file of their bitcoin client to connect to a few of the well-known supernodes. That should easily fill the blocks with transactions, and also propagate their blocks quickly so as avoid orphans.

There's a reason why he confirmed the "leaked" slides, announcing a second mining site and deploying potential hash rates of 1 PH/s...

There hasn't been anywhere else worth investing in for a while either. Friedcat has an excellent track record and I'm sure AM will continue to do well, it's just they've got some actual competition now.

It does seem that the shares are still fairly highly priced; in fact I'm expecting them to fall further. I don't think the company's best days are behind it, but the "taking candy from a baby" days probably are. The company still has its talent intact, and I expect enough cash to fund new product development cycles internally. I don't think Friedcat is surprised that there is now competition nor would he be panicking.

dividend predictions?

combination of dropping hashrate, blade delays, more competition, shipping avalon units. and new ipos like labcoin and bitgarden etc.

Just in time to pick up some cheap shares with my dividends ! 

IMO the labcoin IPO is making few people to liquidate their shares

People are s****g themselves because of the current (lack of) hashrate and orphan block issue. Plus news of blade delays etc.

It will recover if AM sort themselves out. Otherwise its going lower shorter term because the network hashrate is going up daily.

AM have yet to find a valid block. I'm still watching, so far, meh.
