pankkake, Labcoin is hashing with their own rig, the address has been posted back a few pages and my Active Mining investment is about vaporise.
I don't see a relation with ActiveMining.

Well it does, because once Labcoin prove they are hashing Active will probably die, the two main stocks for mining companies on BTCT.co is Active and Lab, who gets there first....

(Also you frequent the Active threads as much as Labcoin threads and I know how much you think us Active holders are idiots (And probably right)

I hope your having a better day than I am.

And yes I hold Labcoin, but no where near as much as my Active position unfortunately.
Or is this a joke I'm not getting?

No not a joke I'm just sad and wanted to say something. Hopefully if Labcoin takes off it will counter my Active position a little, do you agree?

I'm really interested to see whether they'll show something tangible until Wednesday. Their other news posts and "proof" so far were rather underwhelming. Right now all they have are Schroedinger chips.

I'm betting Lacoin will provide what he said and early at that. There is no reason not to at this point.
If Lacoin would provide what he said and early at that, they wouldn't be Labcoin anymore.

I don't get it. Now Labcoin is supposed to have been hashing for a while with Avalons?

Possible outcomes in this Wednesday: (from the best scenario to the worst)
1, Labcoin provides a mining address and a signed message. There're 1 - 2 blocks mined there.
..


Considering that Labcoin have at least ~0.5TH of mining equipment from other vendors, including a few Avalons - quoted below, a signed mining address does not prove that their PCB and chips are working and hashing.. A mining address, technical specification of chip, proper photos/videos of setup will help on the way though.

aren't these your avalons? http://imgur.com/Eg7IlOw

and what is role of Fabrizio in this venture?

Yep. they are.

Fabrizio Tatti is the majority shareholder and CEO of iTec-Pro Limited actually.

Cheers


Yes, but with a mining address, we can estimate the hashing rate by monitoring it.

Of course, even the 2Th is confirmed (may takes several days or even weeks due to solo mining), this still cannot rule out the possibility that the hashing rate is bought from others.

That's the reason labcoin insisted the final decision needs to be done by the end of October, the date all their 1-gen chips are deployed and whether the 2-gen chips work or not is confirmed.


Seems like something that SHOULD take 5mins to generate; proper videos / photos, technical specs (which there is ZERO reason for them to not release) would be a hell of a lot easier then have people wait until end of October..  Huh

I guess all I'm saying is that a mining address by itself doesn't prove anything.

'Average' means there's 50% chance that no blocks will be mined after 83 hours.

No. That is not what it means.

Maybe they've got 10 TH online now and just want enough blocks to show it.

Maybe they are holding friedcat captive and stealing his hash rate.. this would explain a lot

Now when you mentioned friedcat, I just remembered that he experienced a few weeks delay on his new blades!
They were announced for delivery in July but arrived in August due to some technical issues.

It just shows that these types of technical issues can happen even to the industry leaders.

'Average' means there's 50% chance that no blocks will be mined after 83 hours. I don't think labcoin has the luxury of credibility to gamble on this. They should already know that they cannot afford another delay any more, so this time they should not take any risk in announcing a date without 100% confidence.

Maybe they already found a block, but they're hoping for 1 more before the announcement.  That wouldn't be a gamble..

I've been watching this for a while and have some stake in the game here but I have a serious question. Why Wednesday for the address for mining? Or more specifically, why would they need to supply a future date for an address for mining at all? Hardware and all that can of course cause delays but an address can be generated at any point. Why not supply the address now? What rational explanation is there for this? I'm genuinely trying to think of a rational reason and I can't. Am I missing something?

Not meant to stir the pot (though I'm sure naysayers will answer "because it's a scam, duh") but rather trying to understand it.

Responses appreciated.

And the answer is.....

it takes an average of 83 hours to solve a block at 2TH/S
they want 1-2 blocks solved before they post the address
good theory
amazing company
etc.

Because what's the point of posting an address that's not mining and empty? simplest answer.

Possible outcomes in this Wednesday: (from the best scenario to the worst)
1, Labcoin provides a mining address and a signed message. There're 1 - 2 blocks mined there.
2, Labcoin provides a mining address and a signed message, but there're no block mined yet.
3, Labcoin provides a mining address without a signed message.
4, Labcoin says "mining address will be given soon. We are still tweaking the miner"
5, Labcoin never appears and there's no update forever.

Assign each item a probability based on your prediction and make a decision based on it. I believe that's more useful thing to do than fighting with each other.

6, Labcoin posts shaky photographs of a computer screen showing blockchain.info
7, Labcoin says "there are no chips, the hashpower has been in your hearts all along"

And what if they don't? Hmm.... this is going to be the best *boum* ever.



Of course if he doesn't provide there will be a small correction.
