while i dont know if this paycoin thing will be legit or not, chances are it wont be, but some of the people in this thread are insufferable, must be frustrating being filled with hate towards someone you don't know... but, i remember when i was going through puberty like you guys, its a tough time.

Most of us have seen very similar scams before and they all started out like gaw, thats why we're making people aware.


It's sad to see mostly newbies, foreigners and minorities getting scammed. There's a kid on there asking his parents for more money. When they lose it they'll blame Bitcoin.


That is the funny thing with the Bitcoin world. People do not learn from past mistakes and history repeats itself.

As they say, attack is the best form of defence. He knows his liitle money-making scam is going end badly in so many ways for all concerned.

When the coin opens to the public on Jan. 2 with what Mr. Garza says will be an anticipated market capitalization of $250 million, the company will partly back that with a store of fiat currency worth around $100 million.
http://blogs.wsj.com/moneybeat/2014/11/25/bitbeat-gaw-miners-to-launch-bitcoin-challenger-paycoin/

It took bitcoin 4 1/2 years to achieve a market cap of $250 million and GAW expects their coin to achieve that in 3 months (whitepaper to market)?

This makes 0 sense.

You cannot just create $250 million out of thin air.  Markets just don't work like that.

Hey Chris.  I enjoyed your posts on HT in the short time you were there.  I agreed with your challenging posts.  In this case though, I disagree.  I think with the proper investment capital you absolutely CAN start with a market cap with that number.  Unknown startups do that everyday with unknown IPOs.  $250 million is chump change in the VC world.

Now keep in mind that this will be the market cap at launch.  5 minutes after launch and we'll see what the actual market cap is.  The fiat backing is probably the biggest plus of this coin.  BTC has nothing like it and you can see what happens with its price.  With close to 100 million USD as a glorified buy wall to keep the price up, it's not hard to understand how this number is reached.

Now, if you remember the INITIAL white paper, they said 96 million coins at launch.  At $20 per coin, that put the market cap at over 2 billion USD.  I, and others on HT, were up in arms on the math.  Josh's responses were absolute BS and made me seriously consider dumping everything I had at GAW since the math did not add up.

With the NEW whitepaper and a mere 5ish million coins for the ICO (and a total coin amount down to 12 million from 1.2 BILLION) made the numbers add up a bit.

Regardless of all that shit I just wrote (heh) the bottom line is you can't compare the early days of BTC to paycoin.  A closer comparison would be to SYScoin, which supposedly had a few hundred BTC to keep the price up.  Anyone who followed SYS knows they had a horrible launch and were in league with a verified scammer.

I'll let the more witty posters here comment on the above with regards to GAW.  Smiley

That said, I don't believe for a second that Josh is out to scam us.  I do believe that he may be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over his head in launching a new coin.  As someone who has been "mining" this coin for weeks now I hope for the best but am prepared for the worst.

You havent been mining anything. Youre just being given points.. wake up

I think taking the flame war from Bitcointalk and Hashtalk over to third party articles is very childish, talk your side on here and there, it makes crypto look bad for all parties.
There are even more childish things going on here. We have attacks on family members and overwhelming hate from some posters. I was told to "fuck off" for telling someone that what he wrote was unconstructive. Some of you act like you were kept in a cage your whole lives and suddenly released and pointed in the direction of a nearest PC.
People need to relax and calm down, there is far too much hate in this thread when there isn't any proof of scamming, there are plenty of confirmed scamming companies they can point there hate at and still there should be no personal attacks just simple here are the PROVEN facts and that is that.

Fuck you

Notice that Mike at WSJ is very careful with what he is saying....

That’s the claim made in a press statement Monday

They're still complicit in this fraud

Contacts: [email protected], @paulvigna / [email protected], @mikejcasey

I wouldn't say that reporting this in a journalistic sense makes the writer of the article complicit in the fraud.
They are simply putting out an article based on what they have been told.

The fact that this has all been relayed to these media outlets should cause concern for Josh that, once it all goes tits up as it is destined to do, there will be official record of his overexaggerated expectations of the project for a class action complaint to be made against him.

Inthat sense, it's probably a good thing that he is gung-ho about all of this but my point, you can't shoot tge messenger for relaying information that has been passed to them.

I'm curious what this HashStaker is going to do.

On Black Friday, GAW will change the industry forever.

It's really quite simple.

You give GAW your money and they give you the promise of profit.

PromiseCoin!

Here is some math to illustrate just how bizarre this thing is and also why nobody seems to mind the deadlines being pushed out.

You can buy a ZenHashlet on the Market for less than 13 USD at the moment. It "mines" 19 hashpoints per day. End of round 2, i.e. when hashpoints become PayCoin is 13 days away. So by that time your Zen will have mined:

Code:
19 * 13 = 247 hashpoints

Conversion rate is promised to be 400 hashpoints for 1 PayCoin, and 1 PayCoin for 20 USD. In 13 days your Zen will have mined:

Code:
247 / 400 * 20 = 12.35 USD

Nearly 100% ROI in 13 days and you still have the Zen, which you can sell in the Market or keep mining ZenPool. Now imagine if GAW "by popular demand" extends hashpoint mining for another two weeks - this will DOUBLE the profits. Who wouldn't want that?

Any questions?  Roll Eyes

when the $20 becomes 0.000000020cents 12 minutes after launch, what then?
when this happens there will be anarchy uprising on hashtalk and they will be bussy overthere with the ban button, heck they might just down site for a few hours or so. Ofcourse my response has no merrit of truth as this will never happen more like it will hit $100 per coin as advertised  Roll Eyes

i invested money in gaw a month or so ago, have made extremely little money in return and will never ROI. but, i am extremely unsure about paycoin, i set my miners to mine HP just because theres no maintenance fee and that if this paycoin does end up being legit ill have a few, so it's whatever, at this point i have nothing to lose, if it turns out to be true than thats great and ill make a big profit if not, then ill be back to where i was and i dont really care, i never invested ludicrous amounts.

I see, it touches quite the nerve. One must wonder why no? A seemingly illiterate high school drop out who does not know the difference between then and than, a massively successfully world famous financial company, who's Vice Chairman parades around the youthful device known as twitter, gibbering with multiple exclamation points !!! like a tween, about this equally incredibly weird faux coin venture.

It is true that CF is in the technology sphere in a big way:

noted where no mention of this venture is indicated and at the same time

no mention at all of GAW being present or part of the single next most important crypto currency meetings of this year and forward:

However, continuing to support that scheme after being notified of the potential and likelihood of it being a Ponzi situation opens those collaborating with the source facilitating the scheme up to liability as well. Just saying...


Please cite any law or case where such a thing has happened.  While you're at it, provide a legal definition of "collaborating" and "notified".  Are you somehow suggesting that your posting on a random Internet forum is some kind of legally valid notification?  Are you somehow suggesting that GAW customers who might read such a random Internet forum and don't close their account now open themselves up to some kind of, in you words, "liability"?  

You're tossing out a bunch of legal-sounding verbiage here, so it's not unreasonable for a reader to ask what your exact legal qualifications and training are and what statutes or cases support your position.

Let's get a few points clear here:

A. As far as this and any other web forum is concerned, I am present and acting as a private individual who happens to also be a citizen of the US.

B. I have never accused anyone OTHER than GAW/Zen and its "CEO" of anything without having more than enough proof to back up my individual position. Seriously, I have a life and multiple businesses to run myself so why would I waist my time and that of others if I didn't have the proof and other resources to backup my claims? I do not need the attention or drama, but if I do not speak up, exercise my rights, and file (along side others) the appropriate complaints with the proper authorities against those who I believe wish to defraud and degrade the evolving technological business sector, then morally I am no better than those I believe should be held accountable.

C. I have never claimed to be an attorney or act as a legal authority on any specific subject. I have my own legal representation I pay handsomely for such matters. With that said, I am college educated and do have over 18 years of global (US, HK, DE, AU, an UK) corporate business experience with a focus on technology, IP, and contract law compliance. If some of the language and references I use are too full of "legalities" for you, then I am sorry. Given the topic of this discussion, it is what it is. What I can do is apologize for any missed typos in advance since I am often doing multiple things at once and do not have the time to run everything through a spell/grammar checker first.

Now, you want case law and other references to how things are changing here in the US regarding Ponzi schemes and those who are complacent and/or unjustly benefiting from the continuation of these schemes (or the fallout)? OK, here are a few...

Let's start with Florida:


Now, jump across the country to here in California where this "both sides of the coin" paper offers plenty of reference content:
http://www.theponzibook.com/CBLP_2012_Liabilitiy_of_Professionals_Phelps.pdf

And another story or two worth reading:
http://www.lexisnexis.com/legalnewsroom/bankruptcy/b/bankruptcy-law-blog/archive/2012/10/17/banks-beware-aiding-and-abetting-claims-in-ponzi-cases-are-still-alive-and-well.aspx

That should be enough for now.
