This thing is turning into quite the little Jerry Springer show. It certainly seems that we are beginning to bother certain key players in this industry and we haven't even wet our feet properly.
First of all, everybody should relax. We have no terrorist connections and we don't plan to kill the Pope or resurrect Mussolini any time soon either.
I actually feel a little flattered by this. It's mind blowing to see what our competitors would resort to just to see us out of business. Not going to happen. And we're certainly not going to be sabotaged by such childish and amateurish behavior.
This whole thing with the "pictures of founding members" started as an insignificant design detail and is now getting blown way out of proportions.
It began when our designer asked for our pictures to put in little bubbles on the mainpage, as that was his perfect design vision for our website. Some of us said yes, some said no, but the designer went ahead and filled all said bubbles with pictures. I didn't think much of this then, as we all know that stock photography sites are full of pictures of business people, meant specifically to be used in webdesign. So I just assumed this was the case at hand. Anyway, for the time being, no more pictures of anyone on our website, as this is not and shouldn't be the focus of our operation.
Now, the interesting part. On our first day online, a certain badbitcoin project member asked for our pool stratum address as proof of legitimacy. I explained that I cannot give that kind of information away, even if they are the alleged coin mining police, as that would expose the pool to ddos attacks and all sorts of other risks. Not to mention that the pool is not being managed by us personally.
Not even 10 minutes went by and we were officially flagged as a scam operation, after they found one of the filler pictures on some site in Arabic.
I browsed around the badbitcoin list of bad websites and it immediately seemed curious why the two largest, very well established obvious bitcoin mining scams weren't mentioned there. I even asked them about this, but apparently badbitcoin is either very easy to fool or some of their members are serving certain interests by keeping possible competitors at bay. This fact made me loose faith in their good intentions, as what good is a scam reporting initiative if the biggest ones have been operating freely for the better part of a year, right under their noses?
I'm trying to be delicate here, but these slanderous tactics are obviously originating from a competitor's point of view and reasoning. It is disgusting to see people addressing competition this way. Instead of trying to offer the best service possible, why not smother the others with dirt and outrageous accusation? Just for the impact value, at least. People will have to settle for what is left, right?
We are the first cloud mining service able to offer substantially profitable contracts and judging from the public response since our signature campaign began last week, we're obviously drawing clients away from lesser, but more established services. So, we're obviously terrorists. And baby snatchers.
At this point, everyone can draw their own conclusion. But think about it.. Doesn't it make your skin crawl to see this type of dirty political tactics being used here?
So, the terrorism card is on the table. What's next? I'm curious... If you think that slander and headbutting is enough to overshadow the best cryptocurrency mining opportunity available, you are mistaken.
We might not be perfect and we may have 2 or 3 minor glitches to fix right now. But we're taking everything step by step and ironing out all imperfections as we expand.
A rocky start is just another chance to learn and prove one's worth. Not everyone is lucky enough to get such an opportunity.
Have a good night.
