"Just fyi my and others involvement in xpy was that of a we bought a ton of it and we're scamed
We didn't run it.. design it... launch it.. or profit from it.
We tried to help salvage it yes.. but that was doomed from the start"
why not tell the whole story Huey? Why didn't you explain to the user how deeply engrained with GAW you were? How awesome you thought Josh and GAW were? Per an archived post around here somewhere, Huey basically declared his allegiance to GAW and gave the XPY project credibility. Saying it was real and he met the GAW team and he has no reservations about XPY and GAW. But wait, he just said he knew it was doomed from the start. Welcome to the contradiction train fellas.
Buy moar ION, Ask MrCoins for advice. Eh, just save a mind numbing conversation and just buy more ION than you can afford!
i think its well established huey is a scumbag with a debt he wants to eliminate. an honest person would tell the whole story. truth is huey has no clue and is an ideas guy trying to run s coin. he thinks getting an ico and funding dev stuff will make him riches. he bags game credits out of competition spite. in truth hes a guy with no experience or skillset trying to be the next crypto millionaire. its beyond me how wildshark and others have faith in him.
He must only speak in half truths. For the sake of all who are deeply invested (minus the ignorant fucking shills), that Huey does pull this off. I honestly don't want to see this crowd be involved in another failed project, even though it is their choice to play with this team. It'll only cast more black clouds over crypto. Which is why half baked clone coins are good for nothing but negative exposure to the crypto world.
Is this the link you mean? To be fair to Huey, and as much as I enjoy laughing at the ionites generally, I don't think he ever claims to have met Garza or the GAW team in person. This isn't a Roger Ver & MtGox level of shadiness we're talking about here. This just strikes me as being (and I've said this before) the words of a very trusting and naive investor who probably genuinely did believe at the time that GAW and the wider paycoin community was going to kickstart taking crypto 'mainstream'.
I'm not disputing the fact that trying to continue with paycoin even after Garza had left and the 'community' was decimated was foolish. It clearly wasn't going anywhere and clearly wasn't going to work. Honestly, though, this project is exactly the same as most crypto projects. It's being run on a relatively small budget from crowdfunding, and relies heavily on volunteer and part time staffing. There are numerous holes in the business plan, strategy and most notably their communications because honestly, it's a largely amateur outfit.
The bar for entry with crypto projects, particularly ICOs, is very, very low. There are enough people who are either desperate for ideological reasons for crypto to succeed or who are obsessed with chasing the dream of being an early investor in something that blows up like Bitcoin that if you even project yourself as half competent, you can raise enough cash to either make an exit scam seem attractive, or keep a 'company' afloat for a while.
