** FRIENDLY REMINDER **
****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.
Again,
this is very serious, and I think the #1 worry for those who dare to hold! I think posting this pic was worse than posting nothing after all, because after reading a bit it looks
seriously screwed indeed :-/
I'm not really sure if they're that odd - most of the pins should just be power, and only a few per chip are used for serial IO. What I found quite odd was the fact they seem to have only one discrete component per chip, my guess would be a capacitor
What they need to do to assuage this concern is post the
gerber files for those circuit boards.
However, it looks like it's a bit late for that. I'm really amazed at how much of a fail this has been so far. If it's a scam it's the worst scam ever - the price could be at 0.005-.006 if they'd just scammed properly. People aren't selling their shares because they think it's a scam, they're selling because they think the 130nm chips are a complete bust.
Oh well.
