Well looks like the lab has turned it around, so let's say labcoin reaches their december goal of 500th/s. Has anyone used some math and took a guess as the share price and dividend yet? If they get anywhere close to 500th/s it could be epic, no?
Impossible to know since we can't know what the overall difficulty will be.
According to
this there's 7PH/s of
announced hashrate coming online by December 2013. It could be higher, of if we're lucky other projects may fail and it'll be lower.
If it is 7Ph, and they have 0.5Ph that would be 7% of the network. Looking at ASCIMiner's
7 day average hashrate, they're at about, maybe 45TH/s?
Total network hashrate is 0.99PH/s, according to bitcoin watch, so ASICMiner has maybe 4.5% of the network.
If you want to ignore ASICMiner's hardware sales (which the market is probably doing given they don't have anything beyond their 130nm stuff to sell yet) then you just multiply ASICMiner's share price by 0.04 go compensate for the difference in the number of shares. (400,000/10,000,00)
You get a share price of 0.064 if they were at 4.5%, and 0.0096 if they were at 7% and valued the same as ASICMiner.
Of course, it's unlikely they would be, given AM's long track record and Labcoin's dubious one.
Currently more than half of AM's dividend comes from hardware sales. It cannot be ignore at all. Moreover, there's an announcement of 1PH by the end of this year. Without this, the price may already way below 0.5 BTC. Come back to LC, even with 500T, the price will be 0.01 at best that time and will drop quickly if there's no clear future plan (such as gen 3).
