[LABCOIN] IPO [BTCT.CO] - Details/FAQ and Discussion (ASIC dev/sales/mining)

[E.Sam]

VinceSamios why would you want to buy anything?  

1. 11 year old technology
2. 130nm chips will not mine at a profit within 5-8 months
3. 130nm chips coming online at the same time as 28nm chips from two other suppliers
4. 65nm chips due to be developed in 2014.... when 28nm chips are already on the market, as well as bulk 65nm chips
5. Not hashing until they can get their own hardware online (it took BFL 12+ months)
6. F*d up the IPO and pissed off potential investors before they even started....

remind me, why are people investing in this ipo?

I think BTC IPO's are a bubble... a massive massive bubble. The idea that people are prepared to buy this shit illustrates that fact completely.

someone wants cheap shares

Hand on heart - this one is not for me. For the reasons above.

And NOW my money shows up!! Minutes after it closes.

Looks like a scam to me. Maybe I should be happy I wasn't able to get involved!

At least yours has showed up.  I deposited well within time and confirmed within time.  However, my coins have not shown up.  Although there is a record and i am certain i will get them given to me eventually.

Try what I did:

Go to WITHDRAW the BTC, and put in some amount of BTC even if it says 0 max available.

After that is done your BTC might magically show up like mine did.

Yup, that worked.   I also wish i had figured out how to get around the bug in BTCT system in time to get in on the IPO!

I will refer to Burnside regarding specifics/technical questions reg the exchantge etc. I can now see the LABCOIN asset as 'locked'. I hope you all understand that as only assisting the issuer (Labcoin) I cannot personally change anything that has to do with BTCT.CO

Can't blame a fella for profiting from a frenzy.

What a ride. I have to hand it to burnside and the_swede, I think you guys made the right decision. It's not perfect and a bunch of people will be unhappy, but it was probably the fairest decision given the circumstances.

So now that this is done, see you in the post-IPO orderbook battlefield

(And don't forget the other cryptostocks as well, I've heard some guys left cheap shares lying around)

Swede, since you never fixed the time zone problem (EST to EDT) I think the asset should reopen.  This will also give people who had trouble with the wallet a chance.

Wow I went to sleep and posted on page 13 and were up to page 49 hardcore conversation  

With the asset locked should calm down a bit serious congratulations again on the IPO succeeding

Just to make matters worse, this IPO caused a ridiculous crash of ASICMiner.

So not only did I miss out on a great opportunity, I lost a ton of money too.

No, there is absolutely nothing fair about it. That you even considered using that word.

Confirmed - this works.

Damn, wish I had figured that out 9 minutes earlier!!

Hot damn it actually works. weird. Still sucks we didn't figure this out before cut off.. DAMN! This sucks.

If you wish to donate to me for discovering this trick

any Idea how long until we get our unused coins released?

[bryan567]

I was able to place an order just now after I used the trick to free up the funds. Hopefully this order gets honored. Guess we'll see.

[davecoin]

Trading starts at 8 pm pacific time, so that'd be my guess.

[foxykah]

ofc this was done by burnside. suuuuure.

what's that supposed to mean? I'm simply stating that this works

I made 2 TX; 15 min after each other, one cleared after 30min- the next was still not visible after 3hrs
following this instructions to make withdrawal of 0.001- pending amount is instantly visible

sorry I did not sent that to you specifically, but to those whining about this "scam"

Site down?

You didn't lose anything unless you actually sold.
