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

[dexX7]

For those that are curious about what we are currently trying to figure out, it's this clause:
...
We have asked for verification of the withholding of 30% of the shares.

Are you referreing to a breach of contract or not being in line with what they have announced?

Can you please elaborate your point of view and what exactly is the breach is? What is your definition of "will hold" according to the contract?

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.

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.

[12:09:42 AM] myself: nobody else is known to the community
[12:11:39 AM] TheSeven: they might come after you, I doubt they'll come after me
[12:11:53 AM] myself: why wouldn't they?
[12:12:05 AM] TheSeven: they didn't even after the BTCFPGA clusterfuck
[12:12:12 AM] myself: true
[12:12:21 AM] TheSeven: the thing is that I'm not making promises
[12:12:25 AM] myself: BFL has managed to draw it out
[12:12:38 AM] TheSeven: so there's not much to go after
[12:12:53 AM] myself: it's not like you've promised anything
[12:13:04 AM] myself: but the fact that your names attached
[12:13:27 AM] myself: someone loses their cash they will try find anyone who they think is close
[12:14:34 AM] TheSeven: I know what you mean, but I'm fairly sure that it won't do much harm to my reputation
[12:14:54 AM] TheSeven: most people aren't that dumb, and I don't really care about those who are

[12:09:42 AM] myself: Do you like cock?
[12:11:39 AM] Anotheranonlol: Yes, can i blow you?
[12:11:53 AM] myself: Sure blow me! Fuckface!

You just skyped me

[Duffer1]

pure horseshit...

The dump's over, you missed it.

[Ytterbium]

Welp, my stake has been reduced. I made a pretty huge profit on my trades so I can't complain, but I'm still really irritated by that rather dire warning posted with no explanation whatsoever. Simply posting that it was "flagged" could have indicated anything, like if they'd run off with the money or something.

I read the contract and to me it means they'll hold 30% indefinitely.  (IE, their profit comes from dividends, thus keeping them motivated.)

This may no longer be possible, but it should be cleared up and addressed.  If it only applied to the IPO then it should probably be removed, because right now it has the potential to confuse people as it did me.

Once the contract issue is addressed, (remove it, or make it 25%?)  then there's the other issue of locking the 25% of the shares as they announced they would.  It's easy for me to do, I just need to know the account login.  (and... it should only hold those shares, because an account lock is going to prevent any actions in that account.)

Really?  I remember them specifically saying that was not the case, and that they would sell up to 25% of their shares prior to the first 6 months.

Come on guys, be realistic and stop counting every gigahash. The hash rate estimation of all pools is greatly variable (read +/- 10% at least). So don't concern yourself with the small numbers. If you wake up tomorrow and they are over 1 TH, then you want to let out the cheers, I know I will

Yeah, that's what they said - I'm amazed Burnside posted that warning without actually getting clarification. But I guess the problem was he wasn't able to get a hold of them, which is another failure on Labcoin's part.

Still, I ended up selling because of that warning, before he posted the link.  I made a pretty big proft off the shares that I re-bought at 0.0016, like 70% or so.  And I'm pretty sure I'm still way in the black.  But it is really annoying.

The way it was worded, made it sound like the stock could be delisted at any moment.

So it was you who dumped that time. sorry, because I was the first one noticed the new warning and asked here.

before IPO, the issuer has transfered 3M shares to other accounts, you can get those accounts if you want to.

It seems like a lot of people are trigger happy due to the ride so far.

I think it would be the best just to walk away and come back in a month and check how your shares are goin.

Lol, don't worry about it. I'm sure someone would have noticed.  It shouldn't have been posted without any context, and I think selling was the right move.  I still made a pretty big proft overall, and bought about half way back in
