Once you have that stench on you it won't ever wash off. People will always accuse you of being a GAW scam.
I am not going to put you on ignore, that's not my style, your welcome to your own opinion - and I will defend your right to have your own opinion, and as someone who doesn't know me personally, you cant judge me.
Whilst I was a moderator on HT, I was not, never have been, nor ever will be, a GAW employee.
I also understand that Mud Sticks, and that some people can be incredibly narrow minded
I'm not judging you, I don't really care I'm just saying others will because there are lots of kooks out there that see a conspiracy everywhere
Sorry, this is witch hunting...
We can't hold anyone responsible for GAW except the very narrow circle of persons driving the whole scam: Garza, Mordica et al.
Being a mod does not automatically mean one has any active participation in the scam. GAW started as a legit company offering mining hardware and the move to the cloud was something that made sense at the time. Things are not black and white and when it comes to scams, no scam starts with flashing lights and sky-high signs WE ARE SCAM - WE ARE SCAM...
One gets involved and then it takes time to realize that things go wrong. The deeper one is involved, the harder it is to admit that this is wrong, the more one gives the benefit of the doubt, waiting for things to come as expected.
We can't blame people for taking part in GAW just for taking part. I was an early customer, I have bought hardware from them and gradually became involved only as customer. I have been shadow banned in HT for speaking my mind so I know the toxic, fascist environment HT still is. However, I can not and will not hold each and every moderator responsible for the actions of the inner circle of Garza.
I support BitCoin since 2010 for the FREEDOM crypto brings to our lives. Only very few people realize that with FREEDOM comes RESPONSIBILITY. And this means that we ourselves have to take responsibility for our actions and judgement.
If the whole fuss about GAW scam is to protect the innocent then let's start by being sober, serious and JUST. I disagree, I see many (not all) of these ex HashTalk mods as GAW enablers who actively suppressed many concerned members who dared to ask difficult, awkward questions, often berating them before pointing them to non answers given by Josh elsewhere. In my opinion they can see the writing on the wall and are trying to distance themselves from the 'Great Leader' a.s.a.p.
Hashlets was my first real venture into crypto and mining and my experience of HT was seeing members post concerned, measured questions similar to what I was wanting to ask and them being shot down or goaded into making a bannable response by the faithful, all of this supported or orchestrated by the commissars better know as Mods.
Yes Josh and his management team should be the prime focus but let's not forget they had help. I often speculate what benefits the mods gained, insider information, free hashlets, hashpoints, etc. but I'm sure that's covered by the NDA.
