If you have the block reward and pool hash rate and you know the percentage that Labcoin received from that block reward then you can estimate the hash rate. I don't have the equation in front of me because I'm not a math nerd but I'm sure someone here can explain it to you.

That is correct. However to apply the equation you need access to those numbers you mentioned. Do you know the block reward, pool rate and Labcoin percentage at this moment?

At one point I saw it posted somewhere on this forum. They are at BTC Guild. That is all I know at the moment.

Labcoin could spend 2 minutes to clear things up. But as always they refuse to.
Crazy. Absolutely crazy.

Its price is not a very relevant factor in its adoption....

Yeah so they'll do all that for  43.5 BTC when they could have had more if they posted fake pictures?
what makes you think it is Labcoin?  I'm saying it is a 3rd party troll, not labcoin sending those payments to the Labcoin address to generate share price fluctuations.

just a while ago someone mentioned the hash rate:

250 GH/s (= 1.12 BTC / day currently, at 100% PPS)

So, that's like what?  1 USB miner?

But why would anyone do this if its a scam? Scams aren't supposed to lose money.
People would do this if its to save face but not out of greed.
Scam cost ~4 btc. 
Buy 15K shares at .0022 yesterday: 33 btc.
Sell 15K shares around .0029 yesterday: 43.5 btc

profit: 6.5 btc ON JUST ONE MOVE

They have 7000+ Bitcoins and you're telling me they'll do all that elaborate work for 6.5 BTC?
They are rich already! They already have 30% of 7000+ Bitcoins.

You're acting as if they are desperate teenagers mining from their mothers basements.

why do you think that is?  what would motivate a team that has lot all credibility to mine and earn money but not tell anyone about it?

what's the most likely explanation?  those are not Labcoin's coins.

That makes some sense. Sure a third party troll could do that. Doing it without getting caught wont be easy though. Also if they can mine so easily, can't they just sell at a loss and mine with their 0.5-1TH?

Anyway if you're right then the mining will stop soon because it wont last through the weekend and probably wouldn't last much longer than 48hr.

dude, you don't get it, it is not Labcoin pulling that scam.  Labcoin is not mining! 

Yes, it is some teenage troll in their basement with a USB miner sending their BTC guild revenue to the Labcoin address to increse the Labcoin share price to sell to the suckers who are buying labcoin right now!

It's pretty clear to me that Labcoin is not mining in any meaningful way. They'd be bragging about it if they were, and justifiably so.

They're obviously still having issues of some sort and don't want to admit it.

They already have the money. They have no incentive to care about the price of shares.
The only thing they should care about is getting their chips to work and figuring out how to mine with it.

If share prices drop that even might benefit them because "Cheap shares" for the CEO.
Believe it, he's fully capable of buying shares at cheap prices and using that language to crash the price.

But considering they have plenty of Bitcoins already due to having so many shares, if they would want to crash the price it reveals absolute confidence in their operation. If they were pumping the price then it's likely a scam.

it will keep going as long as the price to maintain the scam is less that the profits from selling shares on the spikes every time someone like you says "see, that's proof! Labcoin is mining" and then the share price jumps, scammer makes money, and rinse, repeat.

But isn't this figure based on the July screenshot of the avalon miners?

My calculation is based on the incoming rate, ignoring the 1st payment (because obviously profits were accumulated, and there's nothing wrong with that, but I have to exclude it to make calculations).

Now it's puzzling that it corresponds to the 250 GH/s of 4 Avalon miners. However, if you assume good faith, there is no evidence for or against the "Avalon" version.

It is a fact, however, that the current incoming rate of BTC on that address corresponds to about 250 GH/s

then why do they beg people to buy shares when the price drops?

Again, we advise anyone to purchase more shares now that they are cheap.

take advantage of the current cheap prices.

Okay so what stops the scammer from forming a team then  taking turns and pointing their rigs? The scammer doing this could always call in a few of his friends.

I think you just want cheap shares.

Maybe because he bought his cheap shares and he wants you to buy yours. I don't deny that he probably is buying them cheap. But he has said things which crashed the price and missed deadlines that he has set down to the hour.

I feel the same way. Why not just come clean and give us a detailed explanation. It is better than silence.

Details from Labcoin themselves.  Where are they mining, posting the hash rate, etc.

As long as scamming continues to be profitable, people will continue to do it.

and you think that's the behavior of a legit business person?
