Title: new startup about to launch
Post by: labcoin on May 18, 2013, 11:00:41 PM
Hey folks,

We're a stealth startup backed by some private funding and active since september 2012 in the Bitcoin world. Roadmaps goals have been met and we're getting out of "stealth mode" Our venture name is Labcoin and a website is in the process of being finished. We believe we came out with something interesting, therefore this is a kind request to get out the newbie status, in order to post to relevant sections. Thanks in advance and stay tuned for announcements on those avenues! Our aim is to help the awesome Bitcoin ecosystem to grow and stay strong. Go Bitcoin!

Cheers Everyone,
CEO
Samuel Noi

Good luck on your venture.

What do you think guys, coinbase will sue us for trademark infringement?

No.

Coinlab won't have a basis to sue you for trademark infringement unless you try to rip off their logo or something that legitimately threatens their business.  I think they just received $5 million in VC funding, so their probably focused on other things right now.

What is Labcoin?

Thanks!

Looks good.  Are you using Magento with the bitpay plugin for that site?

You are right, sorry for the typo, the correct term is infringement, i edited my post above. All your points are valid, i just want to add that they maybe concerned about our name being somehow misleading ?
BTW. Any mod care to get me out the newbie hell ?

Cheers
Samuel

No pre-orders at all. Read the above edited post.

Particularly in the ASIC mining space, the key right now is to get an actually functional product to market.  The name will ultimately be built on the reliability of the products associated with it, not the name per se.  Good luck to you!

I would say you should at least have a site up before you bring it to the forum, a product already made and ready to go to market would be good too. And a tip, find someone high ranking on the forum or a trusted media outlet to test your device, as there are many specialized hardware scams propagating right now. Also no pre-orders, destroys any validity you may have, anyone can shop pictures of a "miner" and have a video of it "working".

coinlab could point to its visibility, and argue that labcoin is attempting to mislead, and is diluting mindshare and goodwill of with the coinlab brand.  or something like that.  can you tell i'm just trying to use up my newbie posts.

We're raising additional funds for the project at a soddisfacent rate and the team is already onto some very good results.

You had my curiosity. But now you have my attention.

I don't think I've ever seen the word "soddisfacent" before.  Is that english?  I see that there is an Italian word that is similar which means "satisfactory".  Does that mean you are not looking for investors?

Admittedly yes, the word "soddisfacent" doesn't exist in English language. Satisfactory is the right word.thanks for the head up.
We are not selling pre-orders, but talks with investors are open, just pm us.

Cheers

EDIT: spelling

Yes our own "preliminar design"chips.

Here's hoping the price/hashrate of your chips will give Avalon/ASICminer/BFL some competition!
Any teaser info on the specs?

How do you plan to compensate for the huge increase in mining power coming in the following months/years?
