Regarding shares owned by the Labcoin founders and developers.
Due to inquiries LABCOIN has received from investors, the founders and developers involved in the LABCOIN project has decided to voluntarily lock in 75% of all shares owned by the LABCOIN core team for 12-months.
This means that no founder or developer owning shares in LABCOIN will sell an excess of 25% of their shares for at least 365 days from today's date.
This is being publicly announced to set to rest any concern that the LABCOIN team has any interest in liquidating their holdings in the project.
Q: Why not lock in 100%?
A: Simply because we feel that it is only fair to allow the members of the LABCOIN team that wishes to sell smaller portions of their ownership should they need some Bitcoin for any unforeseen expense during the first year of operations.

If the team forwards the 75% of "locked" shares to the issuing account, it will automatically subtract them from the Outstanding total. Simple solution! |

Can you post the public links to the core team's BTCT portfolios to prove that they have held the shares and will continue to?
If burnside says it's locked then presumably it's actually locked. As in, unable to be sold using the system. There's no such thing as a "lock" feature for shares, nor did Burnside say he has manually locked anything. Or did I miss something? Burnside discussed the option of locking accounts here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=263445.msg2856604#msg2856604 |

The information sure did come a lot faster before they got all the BTC's. I am not saying I agree with Mircea, but the burgeoning silence does resonate with his accusations. http://trilema.com/2013/the-anatomy-of-a-scam/. I genuinely hope for Labcoin investors' sake he isn't right. Now would be a good time to get cracking on communicating meaningful information (See Vbs request above) with shareholders. And what's the proof? A perceived pattern in registration dates. That's it. Personally I'd take the judgement of TheSven before MBOE any day. He doesn't think it's a scam and I don't either. The operative definition of a scam, according to the MPOE crew, seems to be any Bitcoin enterprise that chooses to list at an exchange other than MPex. That is not to say that they don't, on occasion, raise points worthy of consideration, but it's important to be aware of the bias implicit in almost every accusation they make. |

In which case the the market cap will be wrong, which is the reason the shares were issued in the first place. |

I agree with Vbs. Please give some details. Let me also repeat my earlier question. Today is 5 August. Have production started? Further elaborating, there's a TSMC Shuttle for 130nm on 5 August.
NRE costs for a full-mask at 130nm are affordable enough to be crowfunded, and the cost of full wafers are affordable as well. This is probably ASICMINER secret.
Chip output would be of about 1500 chips for each full wafer.
Estimate delivery of the already packaged chips would be around mid September.
ditto Still no answer? |

The Labcoin team is doing everything they can to accommodate the investors requests. The first priotiry right now is first-run, and Q/A with developers/founders. I hate to come across as jaded but in my opinion Labcoin is actually doing quite a lot better then a lot of recent projects in being transparent and fair to its investors. I have talked to Sam and we are working on providing transparency but the focus right now is on reaching market fast with a profitable volume of chips. Over the next days and weeks there will be Q/A sessions, more founder share transparency and I will personally stay on top of the forum and answer questions to the best of my ability. Thank you all for your interest and continued support! |

Of course there's the risk of giving away too much information and allowing competitors to plan accordingly...

There is an another IPO which could potentially push it lower if there is a another panic sell off like last week: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269216.0 |

Well considering people are trying to get their money out of it (47k shares for sale on bitfunder below IPO price right now) and the numbers favor the one who released the IPO as opposed to investors - looks like the odds are in your guys' favour right now.

That IPO has already released. Do you mean the panic sell just two days ago? there was no panic sell last week. |
