Bear in mind there's nothing Labcoin/TheSwede could possibly say that the Fanatical FUD-Flinging Force couldn't somehow twist, spin, or conspiracy-theorize into something apocalyptic. I challenge anyone to think of something.
Let me first say I agree with you, FUDsters gonna FUD.
But as a creative exercise, let me take up your challenge:
Released from Labcoin:
Ok folks, here is our mining address, and if you look at the two blocks mined in the meantime, and decrypt the meaningless random characters inserted into the header, you will find two IP addresses that are assigned to two live 24-hour webcams running in our mining facility, with built-in hashing calculator live onscreen. One of the cameras is focused on our PCB fab area where our workers are tirelessly constructing ASIC blades and installing them live before your eyes. Watch as the hashing counter jumps for each board installed.
You will be able to confirm this number because we have also decided to mine in Slush's pool, where we are user #XXXX, and you can monitor our progress there.
I have also uploaded a video of the bench tests for our new 65nm chips, and they are overperforming by 10%. I would also like to submit a copy of the receipt for our latest tape-out order, notarized in triplicate by Burnside, The Minister of Technology for the People's Republic of China, and guest celebrity investor Warren Buffett. All three of these fine gentlemen will be available for a 20 minute videoconference an hour after this release has been posted, where they will be answering the top four voted questions posted in this thread.
And finally I would like to thank the investors for their patience. We are all socially inept, yet brilliant technicians. We honestly didn't think that two days without updates would cause so much panic. I guess that is why twitter is more popular than Charles Dickens nowadays.
Anyways, to all the faithful: Greetings new digital millionaires!
I'd like to see a FUDster spin that one...
You don't need FUDster's help when you all set yourselves up like this for a massive fall. Wow! Simply wow!
This could turn out to be the biggest anti-climax known to man, follwed by bouts of rage that could make Gulf War II's Shock & Awe on Bagdad look like a children's tea party.
Why are you guys doing this to yourselves? Just calm your jets, eh?
