****WARNING to all Labcoin Shareholders****

People there are no traces going to the chips on these circuit boards. There are no decoupling capacitors near the chips and there does not appear to be a ground plane on the board. Ask any of the DIY asic developers here on the forum and they will confirm that these things are absolutely necessary to create a working miner.

I was a big believer in Labcoin but i am completely out now. This is a disappointing end to what could have been a promising venture.

I welcome a realistic explanation from Labcoin but at this point I am seriously warning anyone to invest at their own risk.

No power circuitry, no vias, no ground plane. This board looks very odd.

What is the controller board? he says these are the blades without the controller board. Could the controller board have all that other shit? I dont know shit about electronics. Undecided

There are no traces running to the chips - unless it is on the other side of the board.

If there were traces or components on the other side of the board there would be vias (small holes to connect the top, bottom, and internal layers). There's no sign of any traces, vias, capacitors, power regulators, or any of the other components that would be required to make this a working circuit board. Sadly it's impossible for this to be a functioning miner.
