Yeah, that´s exactly my point.

If those flippin wankers could provide a credible yield
I´d certainly be back buying in.

jimmothy have you ever bought any hashlets from GAW?   

Okay here I really disagree, we don't know how the people that bought Zens in October are going to do.   You just can't say yet that someone investing in October won't come out way ahead of someone that invested in Aug. at least with the Zens.   In August the Zens were $21.95 and by Oct they were selling around $12 to $13 dollars.   It the PayCoin is even only mildly successful the people that bought the cheaper Zens may actually come out ahead.    

Exactly this.  Look at when zenpool crashed the second time it was the day after they announced hashcoin.  That was the only way they could force people to mine hashcoin even though after the negotiations ZenPool was supposed to go back to normal or higher in payouts. 

Look how hostile you were to a reasonable post.  No wonder you got banned.   You may not intend sound that way by that is how you sound, hostile.    

Yes, PayBase was the only announcement that I know of.

Not at all. They are blaming GAW for false advertising.


The customers are not to blame. It's GAW's repeated broken/unfulfillable promises that make people rage.

The BTC price is completely irrelevant because as we all know, difficulty will make any hardware unprofitable sooner or later. (hence why no other company promises everlasting profitability)

GAW is paying $0.01-0.02/mh/day. They are entirely capable of lowering fees, yet they won't because they don't give a shit about the customers (only their money).

The only reason they haven't lowered fees as promised is because they want everyone to mine hashpoints (which they can print an unlimited amount for free).

If they bid Genesis Hashlet down to 40 cents

I´d be really hard put to not go back in.

And you seem to be blaming Bitcoin price for GAW's misleading marketing

So how about PayCoin - do those claims depend on some external variable as well? Should we know about it before we semi-voluntarily invest into PayCoin? Do you feel you are getting the fullest possible disclosure to make a good investment decision?

I thought I heard a lonely little cricket chirping in here. Did anyone else?

Because of A) you're quite obviously in a position that nobody who invested in October or later can ever be in. So you need to step back and look at it from that point of view if you really want a full picture.

I appreciate what you're doing on HT. That doesn't change the fact that many users were banned for no obvious reason and many others are free to show disrespect and post off topic - the only two rules on HT, right? - without any consequences, depending entirely on "which side" they're on. That place is not healthy. Good for you that you found a way to survive it, however this should not be a prerequisite for a customer seeking answers or assistance.

Of course you were banned and you know why. I can only congratulate the admin who decided to remove you from hashtalk for good. The best part is that you complained to Josh about it when he was here...

Bingo. So now I hope we can agree that sales claims like that are at the very least deceitful. Which leads to understandable skepticism towards PayCoin et al. For example do you think everybody should be happy and cheerful if the promised $20 price point takes "a very very very long time" to achieve?

There is creative marketing and then there is what GAW is doing, which I don't have a polite word for.

I am sorry what happened to you and/ or maybe others. I can only speak from my experience. I never got banned or censored for questioning GAW on hashtalk.org

We call that BAIT and SWITCH.

Nonsense? I was instantly banned and my post was instantly removed on HT when it was a repost of what rootdood wrote here about the Zenpool negotiations being final yet Josh was not going to reinstate higher payouts yet because he was waiting for a strategic time. So you are going to tell me that is nonsense. How dare you? And i speak for many many others that were banned for merely questioning GAW's methods and procedures. So do not come in here talking garbage just because you got away with a few posts over there. If you honestly believe it's nonsense you are quite obviously delusional.

Although a lot of you guys only honor facts, I still want to share some of my random experiences with GAW positive/ negative. I really feel we have to much black<->white thinking in this thread:

A) I bought most of my Zenminer hashpower early August when all this started and since then I got paid every single day. Not a single day missing, not a single payout was lower than expected. I bought their product, they paid me - no emotions here, nothing to discuss, no one at GAW ever scammed me by a single penny

B) I had several disputes/ tickets with GAW about technical problems, not working account fundings, not working withdrawals , Bug abusing etc.... Some of my issues got escalated to their top management. Sometimes we had tough discussions throwing legal threads around but in the end, we always found a fair and suitable solution for both parties. I stayed friendly but demanding in the heat, they stayed friendly and demanding and we could solve even the most muddy situations. GAW always acted very professional and generous on every single management tier.

C) GAW announced a lot of stuff/features in their business plans and not all of them came to reality. This is true e.g. Primes where never able to mine SHA, Primes were never the "most profitable miner" etc etc..., a lot of cool stuff got lost on the road. People bought their products and got dissapointed I can understand that - they really did some mistakes here... they also rushed some updates producing way too much bugs

.... BUT  ~70% of their announcements came to reality and this is more than most other business plans can offer. Look at "business plans" in big cooperates. Leading managers always build unrealisitc cases to secure funds for their ambitious projects. Its sad but this is how it works. "Aim for the sun, land on the moon", Like it or not - the guy with the "realistic" business case will never be able to turn anything into reality

D) I followed  several public discussions on hashtalk.org where different people seriously challenged Josh Garza and his ideas. As long as people follow the basic rules of communication he is open for fruitful discussions. Calling hashtalk.org an overmoderated forum with no possibility to speak out openly is nonsense.

For whom it may concern: Here you can see how I challenge Josh in public on hashtalk.org, I got tons of upvotes, we started discussing, but found no consense... life goes on. Guess what - I was not censored or downvoted or anything for attacking him openly. Just a normal discussion amongst people who exchange ideas

https://hashtalk.org/topic/18215/zenpool-the-world-s-most-profitable-pool/21 (I am to dump to post that link, just scroll down to post 21)

E) I will not comment on whether GAW is mining or not. I just dont know it. There are no facts for/ against that

F) GAW is a startup on top of Crypto - Consider this a double high high high risk/ high reward investment. Get ready to loose it all or gain big

Hope that helps some individuals in assessing GAW

I´m a GAW basher but not necessarily 100% so
as you may have noticed. I might go back in if they
provided a freakin yield for my investment. What I
like is lending cloud mining operators coin to upgrade
their equipment at 25%/month. I don´t need changing
stories and hassle.

ROI =/= profit

If it takes longer than your entire life to break even, it's not profitable.

What you're doing is slowly reducing your loss.

Depends on your power costs. And we didn't by a Fury (which is actually 1.2-1.3 MH/s), we bought this:

Digital Cloud Miner that keeps getting better
will always make money
depreciating costs
obsolete-proof

Fury was obsolete the minute it was released, much worse than Gridseed released months earlier. We are not going to compare hashlets to GPUs or CPUs, are we?

The bottom line is, GAW just recently claimed to have TWICE as much mining income as needed to cover payouts. The reason to NOT follow through with sales claims and keep paying 1 satoshi was not stated. Do you know that reason?
