I must have missed something, but people on the slack are complaining about missed payouts in some sort of ion cloud mining situation.
When did they start doing that? How can they be stupid enough to fall for that again?
The payouts they are missing are from cloud mining contracts launched through XPY.io in conjunction with some cloud mining firm or another a while ago. At the time they launched I remember there being a sense of euphoria on the talkxpy forum, similar to when they launched the store which they appeared to believe would bring mass interest in XPY.io.
It didn't.
So they integrated all of that into the ionomy site as if it was all together?
They really actually think the reason they lost money is 100% because Garza is a scumbag, they STILL don't realize that we KNEW he was going to screw them because he was promising impossible things. And now apparently they walked hand in hand into another trap set by that evil tommy from Sweden.
Just proving my original point, that may be safe to mention again, that this is a terrible idea because the people running it are too stupid to be successful. There is no way people that fell for Garza's lies and then walked into another cloud mining "scam" can do anything to make a profit for users in crypto currency.
I agree in that their track record as a community doesn't exactly point towards roaring success. I remember seeing a long thread on the old talkxpy site about scrypt.cc, for example, a site that was so clearly a scam and yet so many persisted with for the longest time. Some even proudly proclaimed that they were pouring their scrypt.cc payouts into XPY. Remember that large numbers of that community also got involved with lendcoin, too.
The XPY.io team also clung for way too long to the idea that adding so called 'features' around XPY through their 'platform' (the XPY.io site) would somehow expunge the past of XPY and draw users in. In reality all it did was isolate their community further as most of their 'users' had large amounts of coins tied up in long term stakers and couldn't do anything with them, and obviously very few new users wanted anything to do with XPY by that point. Ionomy is essentially exactly the same idea, just with a virgin coin as its base and the promise of games and some sort of vague economy within them to prop up the coin and bring new users in.
On a side note, I've read various users post on their slack channel about Matlack having had previous experience in game development; one user even went so far as to imply that he made his 'millions' in the gaming industry. I'm curious about this as I can't find any references to anything other than running a game server a few years ago on Matlack's LinkedIn. You'd have thought that if this was true and he'd genuinely worked on big titles for a development studio it would be at the very least listed on his LinkedIn as its highly relevant to this latest venture of his. Just to be clear, I'm not calling Matlack a liar, because I haven't seen him claim these things himself, but the user who was making these claims said they had chatted to him at length about it...
(maybe one of those rocket mugs will do but it better be painted purple!)
. You were so close, maybe next time.
