OK, so let's say One Million coins are put into escrow from users participating in the Paycoin Buyback program.
(I came up with a million because that number was floated around on HashTalk. If someone has a better estimate, fill me in please)
So Josh has 1,000,000 XPY in escrow, for each of which, he will be paying $20 at a rate of $100,000 per month, evenly spread out amongst participants, basically buying back 5000 coins per month. At this rate, it would take 200 Months to complete the buyback, or about 16 1/2 years. The more coins you have in escrow, the larger your monthly payout.
OK, So I admittedly suck at math, but If Josh pays $100,000 towards 1,000,000 XPY coins, this works out to 10¢ per month, per coin you deposited in escrow for the next 16 1/2+ years.
So lets say you put 50 XPY in escrow, you would get $5.00 a month. Se even if you scooped up some XPY at $2.00 per, you are looking at over 3 years before you even ROI.
How is this a good thing? Who believes GAW will even be around in 16 years, let alone Paycoin? We are talking about a company that has been around for not very long, with no proven track record, run by one of the most dishonest people I have ever seen on the internet. I know you HashTalk people lurk here, sit down & think about it for a minute, does this seem legit to you? Why are people jumping up and down over on HashTalk like "Yay! Thank you Josh for posting!" - Seriously?
To put a little perspective on this for you HashTalk lurkers, 16 years ago my dad was programming to correct the y2K bug while everyone was hoping the world didn't end when the year 2000 hit. DSL was the hottest thing & I had to use a modem to dial into Prodigy or AOL to use the internet. 16 years is a long ass time...
i asked the same question on ht and was told that the 100k was a minimum. until joshieboy releases the fine print, we can only speculate. im sure he's creaming in his jean shorts now.
OK, if $100,000 is the MINIMUM - by all accounts, I am reading that 1 Million coins being put in escrow is a quite conservative estimate. So let's say Josh is a super guy & GAW has truckloads of cash to burn, so he pays out double or even triple that $100,000. If 3 Million coins are put in escrow, the math stays the same, with a 10¢ per coin, per month payout. But even with a million coins, triple the minimum & you are still only talking about 30¢ per coin per month.
While it's true we can only speculate, I can't see this working out well. The whole thing feels like Josh fleeced a bunch of people & now wants a loan to boot. The whole thing is just insane. I'm no investor or financial guru by any means, but at this point, wouldn't bag holders be better off dumping their XPY for the lousy $2 & getting Gov't bonds or something like that, especially if they have the willingness to wait 15+ years for Josh to pay them back? Seems a lot safer too.
