The price on this will run higher than what people are expecting... it's just so cheap to begin with.  Even if people sell at .002 it's cheap.  This is even more of a speculators dream than active mining.

So... was it a scam, or just incompetence?
Or is it still unclear?


If it's not a scam, it is very badly managed with he worst communication skills in BTC securities history.


There is a group on IRC made of around 16 shareholders [LCSH] who are taking steps to track down Samuel Noi (or/and Fabrizio & Alissia) in case communication is not reestablished.

In the last QA, "Sam" said they would have the remaining chips up and hashing by the 15th:
[16:04] <+labcoin__> (...) At this point the project won't fail, we will be receiving the complete hardware before 15 October.
That was on the SEP 30TH, 2013 (ref: http://pastebin.com/RSa1JPvM)

If this deadline is not met, then it's most probably a scam. Some will take the legal avenue, while more shabby investors will probably take the law in their own hands. What is certain is that many angry people will track them down.

quick sumarry, for those short on time

  • 'sam' due for update, does not show up, again
  • spokesperson demonstrates they've lied about having about previous hash-rate, and instead shows equivalent of 2x bitfury
  • Labcoin still refuse to co-operate with owner of exchange (over 1 month they have ignored.)

shareprice doubles on these revelations

Again, here is an information extract from last dozens of Labcoin main thread's pages:

New updates from TheSwede75:
UPDATE:

As usual by now I am very sorry for the lack of updates. I do however at this time have an update for actual hashing.

Though the launch of the mining operation has been delayed and the team is still tweaking miners we now have around 800gh hashing at btcguild at:

http://www.btcguild.com/index.php?page=rankings§ion=teams

The Labcoin team is currently listed as 24 Labcoin.

According to Sam, more hash rate will be deployed daily. I do not have any goals or hash rate estimates to communicate right now but as soon as I do, I will of course communicate this.

I hope that I can provide more timely updates on a lot of open questions shortly, and I hope everyone is having a good weekend.
UPDATE:

Even though I don't like making promises but Sam has assured me that 20TH is a goal that will not be missed within 2 weeks.

I am also working on having the "warning" removed from the security as Sam assured me that the team has not to sell any significant amount of shares and the ownership is still far above the 75% that was communicated as the holding limit.


I don't think the locked shares thing is a big deal, but that warning needs to be cleared up ASAP.

I am in contact with burnside regarding resolving this ASAP. Since the team has separate accounts with BTCT.CO we are trying to find a smart solution to locking a certain amount (75%) of founder shares across several accounts.

I can only reiterate that the same statement as issued is still true and 75% of founder shares are, and will be held for 12 months from the date of the announcement.

Wise from my mistakes I am not giving a deadline, but I hope and think that we can resolve this "warning" very soon.



burnside have changed the wording of the warning at btct:
The day before Lehman Bros collapsed the CEO told investors in a conference call that the company was in no danger of insolvency. He knew exactly what was happening.

His defense was that if he had told investors the true state of the company that it would have immediately collapsed due to share selling.

You are correct and I agree 100%.

The exchange does not know the facts behind the situation and made a public statement.

Statements should be coming from LabCoin.

-Ukyo

The statement the exchange made was 100% factual.  Though it could have been worded differently, the warning needed to be made.  Attempts at communication prior to the issuance of the warning had not been successful.

I have updated the warning.

For those that are curious about what we are currently trying to figure out, it's this clause:

Quote
General shareholder contract and IPO information

Labcoin.com aims to raise 7.000 Bitcoin (BTC) through the issue of 7.000.000 shares in the IPO. The shares will be issued at a price of 0.001 BTC per share. The total amount of shares in labcoin.com will be 10.000.000 shares, with labcoin employees, representatives and owners will hold 30% of outstanding shares.

We have asked for verification of the withholding of 30% of the shares.


Some other users have pointed out, correctly, that other issues have had contract violations.  This is true, but I should point out a couple of things.  First, the ability to put notices on individual assets is a relatively new feature in the site code.  Second, we've also recently placed warnings on other issues elsewhere and we have documented these.  Third, we can only place warnings where we are aware of the contractual issues.  That is to say that we have to get notice from people familiar with the particular issue and then look into it ourselves.

We'll refine and improve on the process as we have done with most things.

Cheers.

They switched from slush's pool to BTC Guild.

The hashing rate of BTC Guild is 391T.

25 * 2 / 391 = 0.127 BTC, so it took more than 5 blocks for 2Th/s to get 0.7 BTC.

By checking the transaction history, however, 0.7BTC could be the income of 2 blocks. So the hashing speed is 391 * 0.7 / 25 = 11 Th/s.

Great number. Smiley But we'd better to check more paying before we can know their actual hashing rate.

Relevant posts:

UPDATE:

Just got off talking to Sam. The miners are running and the team is working on the pool mining integration, this should all be done in 'a few hours' (less then 12, more likely less then that but I have advised against setting a specific hour/time as this just leads to frustration if missed) and users will be able to view the mined coins through pool and this address:

https://blockchain.info/address/17psAW21J4twanAFWmbcd5WdX2pKeX3trm

I have asked Sam to sign the address so that it can be proven without a doubt that Labcoin is indeed the entity mining.

According to Sam the initial hash rate will be 'a few' TH and will be scaled up in the coming days as more miners come online.

TLDR; Pool mining is being integrated and will be running in the next few hours (less than 12). Address provided above will be used for mining and will be signed as proof. Initial mining will be 'a few' TH and scaled up in the coming days.


Update:


Just a small update with the address signed so that there is less confusion and fud when pool mining is running.

Message: Labcoin mining address

BTCGarden IPO seems like an extremely poor short term investment.  There's virtually no chance of the price going up short term. 

the price is up...you fail
Wow a whole 5%. Compare to Labcoin's 300% increase at its peak just hours after the IPO.

I'm assuming that since BTCGarden isn't going to pop-up by 20-100%, people are going to dump and come back to LC within a day or two

Once the IPO was finished, it means 2,000,000x0.016=32,000 BTC go to the issuer, never go back to market, 2x of LC MarketCap. It's disaster for liquidity.

It's true that people will go back to LC, but I doubt upside potential in short-term. Mostly depend on LABCOIN team's news/info release I think.

Anyone else disappointed with Labcoins performance so far?

Is it going to slowly sink back down to the IPO price or is it every go to go up?

Because I wasn't able to buy in at the IPO due to BTCT's bugs, I bought when trading started. Even though I feel I got a good price, I'm down quite a bit right now.

I'm praying it wasn't just a scam all along and let's see if Labcoin produces.

 there is consistent selling pressure. people want out.

I think many people just sell for 2x profit to rush into BTCGarden IPO.  BTCGarden really eaten many BTCs.

The last trade price of LABCOIN passtru on HaveLock is 0.00289000@70  .

Yes, that's what it seems like. I'm going to hold rather than sell at a loss. I'm beginning to wish I had never heard of Labcoin.

"The first run will yeild 1000-1500 chips @ 130nm, 300Mhz, Power 0.8W, 6.5x6.5mm design. With specs of 5 GH at 2.7W/GHash."

So, which one is it? 0.8W or 13.5W?
With that second value this chip will vaporize. Thermal resistances will not allow to operate so small die at so high temperatures...



I'm unimpressed.  All kinds of red flags abound.

The poorly-written asset profile at btct is heavy on puffy, flowery rhetoric and light on specifics.

If they've paid the NRE for their (obsolete) 130nm supposed wonder-chip, why not sell them before/after its delivery to raise funds for the next gen, instead of going public and hollowing out the 'private investors' equity?

Are the 'private investors' stupid, altruistic, scammers, or some combination?  Does not compute!

Swede is so clueless about hardware it hurts.  Sure, I had to google RTL and NRE, but have enough EECS background to understand the concepts behind the acronyms perfectly.  But I'd never confuse current gen (28nm) with next gen (22nm) die shrinks, or say stupid things like

What I can say is that nm density is a very small part of chip design and higher density does by no means automatically mean higher frequency or better efficiency.

Swede may have burned some bridges with his preemptive crapping on competitors' threads.

He's very unprofessional and has no business flailing around in his current role.  Kid is in way over his head.

The problem is that they dont really have anything to back it up. 130nm chips in Q4 2013? 65 nm in Q2 2014?
Competitors have 28nm coming in early Q4 2013.

Surprising comment coming from you. All you do is pimp out Actm. It has already been explained why they chose higher nm chips and why 28nm is both very expensive and risky. And unlike Ken the guys at Labcoin seem to have a really solid and reasonable plan backed up by facts, not just hype.

I'm really surprised at folks really expecting this to "crash".
Do you actually think it will crash below the IPO price? No fucking way. There was huge demand for the IPO for good reason: because compared to the possible outcome of this stock, the initial price was ridiculously low. You have ActM for example, who don't yet have anything to show for either, and their shares are traded at ~0.005 now, while they have a total of 25m shares. This one starts at 0.001 with only 10m shares. I see this easily trading at 0.005 short term, and higher in the long run.

I think the difference lies in future mining/product. Labcoin doesn't appear to be bringing anything new to the table, nor do they appear to be pursuing anything new (e.g. 28nm chips)

The price on this will run higher than what people are expecting... it's just so cheap to begin with.  Even if people sell at .002 it's cheap.  This is even more of a speculators dream than active mining.


The problem is that they dont really have anything to back it up. 130nm chips in Q4 2013? 65 nm in Q2 2014?
Competitors have 28nm coming in early Q4 2013.

Surprising comment coming from you. All you do is pimp out Actm. It has already been explained why they chose higher nm chips and why 28nm is both very expensive and risky. And unlike Ken the guys at Labcoin seem to have a really solid and reasonable plan backed up by facts, not just hype.

No, it's not absurd. It's how practically every real life IPO that has more initial demand than supply is handled.
It's the best and most fair way. An pre-IPO auction like you're suggesting is bound to create chaos and implode into itself.

Trading start in:

Timer removed. End time: 2013-07-31+20:30:00


Want a high selling price? Very obvious, but: don't place asks! Really, don't do it and wait. The very thin orderbook after the transition from AMC-PT to ActM on btct was a very influential reason for the fast rise.

I predict it's going to crash.

Yeah, sure. The question is whether it'll be at .002 or at 2.00

Assuming it's not a scam the IPO price is a rather safe bet.

I predict it's going to crash.

Here is why:

1) Mass hysteria over the IPO. This is rarely a good sign for an IPO. The IPO was overbooked by almost 3 times.

2) Everyone who wasn't able to buy in the IPO wasn't able to because of glitches with the BTCT.CO website. These people are pissed off and not likely to invest now.

3) The mining space is increasing competitive. KNCMiner and Bitfury are about to release their chips and miners and are going to completely overwhelm anyone sill using first generation mining ASICs. Labcoin is behind and won't be able to keep up.

No way in hell. I'm not saying that it's going 'to the moon' like all those ActM fanboys, but there are many, many people who just missed the IPO lock because of BTCT issues, etc posting in the Labcoin thread. Most of those who missed out aren't going to be pissed and not invest, they're just going to buy up more shares.

And that's exactly what their IPO price reflects. It's incredibly cheap so they don't have to get as much hashing power online.

I predict in the short term it will go up. It was clearly illustrated that there is a lot of demand for these shares at prices well above the IPO value of 0.001. As soon as there is open trading of Labcoin shares, price will go up until demand matches supply. Seems pretty basic. Market fundamentals like the number of competitors in the BTC mining market and the relative technical/economic merits of Labcoin will assert themselves over a longer timeframe, and shares could rise or fall depending on how Labcoin and various competitors do. But everyone who bought at the IPO value will likely be able to sell tomorrow for a tidy profit.

I'm predicting that all the leftover money from the IPO will get poured into BTCGarden without anyone checking the thread.

That and some of the leftover money will be reinvested in all the stocks everyone dumped to buy in Labcoin.

"The first run will yeild 1000-1500 chips @ 130nm, 300Mhz, Power 0.8W, 6.5x6.5mm design. With specs of 5 GH at 2.7W/GHash."

So, which one is it? 0.8W or 13.5W?
With that second value this chip will vaporize. Thermal resistances will not allow to operate so small die at so high temperatures...

I can't see these guys having any staying power.

What have the actual issuers of the stock done wrong?  The excitement caused by the IPO was not expected by anyone, and they are rationally trying to make a fair solution for everyone instead of hastefully dumping the shares on the market.  So far it has been much more orderly than Activemining's IPO.

IPO's should be simple... x shares available, x bids to eat up those shares - top bids get eaten first

wheres the discussion to be had? it's absurd.

The problem is that the issuer has no idea when the asset will be approved, and once it is approved bidding can begin.  The voting can take days or weeks, but LABCOIN was approved in less than a day.  They had no chance to put the stocks up before bids were in place, but still want to honor the IPO price of .001.  I commend them for standing by the original price and not just profiting of the speculators.  Ken of AMC fucked up his IPO so bad (repeatedly dumping more shares at one price before undercutting himself later on, dumping 500,000 additional shares for "extra expenses" after the original NRE sold out), and yet you stand by him.  Makes me wonder who you're invested in  right now Smiley
