Cool beans.
Are the chips your sending out samples or paid orders? How are financials and dividends for chip sales going to be handled?
There will of course be more "hard numbers" on this posted as chips are received, tested etc. the general policy is to pay out all profits as dividends to share holders, though Labcoin also plans to reinvest when profitable.
I have requested that customers that make "serious inquiries" be sent sample chips from first run and I am also trying to facilitate a miner and first run chips be send to me for review for the forum.
More information will be available (including pictures and stats) as soon as first run chips lands in the hands of the team.
What can shareholders do to promote Labcoin? Maybe advertising can be made to be cheaper? Why not just go to the forums where people are looking for ASIC miners and to reddit and promote the hell out of it?
Labcoin doesn't get much discussion in the Custom hardware board, but they blather on about friggin'
xCrowd.
Of course we don't know the exact final specs and prices, etc so there's not a lot to talk about in terms of mining yet. But once we get pricing data and real performance numbers it should be worth talking about.
A lot of people there think 130nm is out of date and obsolite, though. They don't realize that what matters is $/W and a cheaper to tape out chip wins in the short run, and over time Labcoin will have time to reduce feature size.
