batch? i believe he send the crippled mining hardware to outside team to work on it, and get it back by 15th oct.
why say batch? howard never completed the design for 130nm or 180nm, honestly i really dont know what they mining with, could it be they bought avalon chips or something?
remember labcoin said he was one man team? if u ever thought 130nm design is completed by other employee, then nah nah.
if howard left and never finished, and labcoin is 1 man team, then there is no chip im afraid, pic's properly fake, maybe he ran to university and went to staff electronic room and took those look alike asic chips from draw , then he printed out a big paper sheet of labcoin logo, place the university chips on top of the paper logo, take pictures, while we demanded a picture of mining one.
edit: remember again, labcoin, sam is not engineer, he said it in this forum some weeks ago or i must read it in QA or logs
Consider this.
1) Labcoin is horrible at communication and doesn't explain anything.
2) They outsource everything. We don't know that they didn't have someone else finish the chip design.
3) They have stated many times that they have ordered 100,000 chips after the test batch arrived.
I'm not saying that they are legit, as obviously all signs point to this being a huge cluster fcuk if not an outright scam. I'm just stating that ever since the troubles started they have been wanting us to withhold judgement until the end of October. This could be because they are actually going to receive chips.
What do we have to lose by just chilling out for a month?
