Clearly whats happening here for the people who arent dumb. Burnside trying to FUD his competition, Labcoin is the only company so far hashing, and will surpass Asicminer, if they dont run into any problems.
Labcoin needs to have a contingency plan incase burnside desides to fuck them over.
Well im labcoin fanboy but i do think burnside is honest and standup guy; he will handle this on a mature level.
What he did was irresponsible. He put up the warning with no context, no link, just said it was "flagged for possible violations" without any information about what those violations were. If he'd written his post first, and then linked to it initially it would have been way better.
I realize it's supposed to be an "educational, virtual" stock exchange, but that doesn't mean there isn't significant amounts of money moving around. If there are going to be warnings going up there needs to be a clear and transparent process for deciding whether a warning should go up and what needs to happen for it to come down.
I felt like the prior warning was OK, given the issues and communications problems labcoin had. But this one (especially with no explanation of what the problem was) was way over the top.
That said, Labcoin obviously bares some responsibility for this for not even be available for contact by burnside. That's b.s.
But while I expect drama from Labcoin, I don't expect the exchange itself to get sucked in and participate in the drama. There's enough insanity with this stock as it is.
Labcoin certainly has serious issues, but people are aware of them and they're reflected in the share price. It's clearly a risky stock.
