PonziCoin - Because everybody knows.
Well, to be fair, everyone knew GAW/Hashlets/XPY was a Ponzi right from the start. Other than the poor unfortunates who refused to even consider the plethora of warning signs that were literally everywhere.
I consider myself a reasonable person, and there was reason to think that Hashlets of the non-Zen variety were real up until the inbox was leaked.
Suchmoon had them nailed back in March of 2014, this is a thread worth reading.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gaw-miners-scryptsha256-miners-and-hashlet-cloud-independent-feedback-thread-537912EvilPanda was tasked with screaming 'FUD!' at anyone who posted legitimate complaints about GAW.
This GAW-approved thread, however, is not worth reading as it mostly contains the sock-puppet fan-boy postings which would appear and drown out any 'difficult' questions:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gaw-community-is-located-at-communitygawminerscom-529093This, however, was surely the nail in the coffin for anyone with half a fucking brain, no? Ponzis are all about minimising on the withdrawals by convincing the muggles to re-invest their 'profits' into new and better schemes. After months of desperately trying to ensure that most muggles who bought miners from them did so under the 'hosted' service, with those who actually demanded a real machine delivered to their door reporting numerous failure-to-deliver-followed-by-generous-'refund'-involving-hosted-miner incidents, it was clearly time to move on to a 'new and better' scheme. Which this product-shuffling post by the Hash King was all about:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/official-announcement-by-gawminers-ceo-october-13th-822679Hey everyone,
Take a seat. Sit back. Relax.
This is an important moment not just for GAW but for every single early adopter we have.
The time has come.
As many of you have seen by now, Hashlet has completely transformed this industry. Forever. Hashlets hit the market when mining was at its worst and turned everything around.
Every early adopter here knows that well and those of you who invested in the beginning have been reaping enormous rewards ever since.
We’re about to do it all over again.
Introducing HashBase
ZenCloud was only the beginning, the first step!
A whole new platform called HashBase will be be absorbing the entire ZenCloud Platform and it will change the world.
I can’t say much more right now other than HashBase is the ying to Hashlet’s Yang. It’s our most ambitious R&D initiative next to Hashlet and will be available in major stores soon!
HashBase is coming this month!
Hashlet Primes paved the way for targeting multiple algorithms, boosting, and the whole concept of dual pool mining.
All of that was a drop in the bucket for what’s to come. It’s all been to set the stage, leading the way for the insane features that are coming. Now that our new hardware is coming in and datacenters are coming online, we’re going to be ready to launch HashBase which will give Prime Hashlets features in the coming weeks that will blow your mind away.
I’m talking features like mining x11 and even more algorithms.
I’m talking features like dramatically reduced maintenance fees.
I’m talking features like the ability to earn money offering Primes as collateral for loans, while still mining with them!
I’m taking features like mining multiple coins… and perhaps even exclusive access to ASIC proof ones!
Do you see where I’m going?
Hashlet Primes are going to be the single most powerful miners ever conceived and they will merge into HashBase.
HashBase will be our next update, it will have the most powerful HashAmps we release, designed specifically to skyrocket Hashlet ROIs. And Primes will take advantage of every single one of them, free forever!
Not just that, but Prime Hashlets will have exclusive first access to BTC.com. We are even working with one of the largest coin development teams in the world for exclusive access to mine that coin, only available on HashBase.
Hashlet Primes are officially no longer for sale
That’s right. Our ambitious plans for Primes require that they exist in very limited supply relative to all other Hashlets. That’s why we increased the Price of Primes in the first place. We wanted fewer of them to exist in the wild so that we could keep upping their power.
See, we sell enough Solo and Genesis Hashlets to run and expand this company just fine. That’s why we’re doing something special with Primes. We have the ability to make Primes not just the most powerful miners in the world. We have the ability to make them the most powerful miners possible.
So that’s what we’re going to do.
That’s the whole reason we offered to buy Primes back at $40! We know what they’re going to be worth.
So now that we’ve successfully reduced the number of Primes out there, it’s time turn sales off before the number jumps back up.
So from now on, the only way to acquire Hashlet Primes is though the ZenCloud Market
We need Primes to stay rare enough so that we have virtually unlimited flexibility to keep adding power and features to make them the envy of this industry. That means selling new ones is not an option.
So instead, the Primes that currently exist now will be the only ones that ever exist.
So if you want Primes, you’ll have to buy them from a Prime owner willing to part with theirs. But at this point, though, I’m not sure why they would…..
Just to recap…
We introduced Hashlet as the first stage of Project Prime and Prime Hashlets have been the spearhead along that path. It’s been such an overwhelming success that the enormous buying power Hashlet customers have given us has transformed this company forever. Now chip and board manufacturers play by our rules, not the other way around.
You’ve done so much for this company. It’s time for us to return the favor.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you
Goodnight.
Josh, CEO
PS - We’ve learned a lot in the last few weeks about communication and never leaving customers behind. I realize many of you sold your Primes without this knowledge. And since the market price for Primes will likely double what they used to be, I don’t want anyone feeling shorted.
We care about every customer and we want you to maximize your Hashlet Portfolio. So if you used the buy-back feature and regret doing so, we are going to give you a few hours to “reverse” the sale so you can take part of HashBase
You have until tomorrow morning to do so by pressing a button on your “Miners” page. You will see this button show up in a few hours.
Once the Zencloud Market comes back online, you will not longer be able to get those Primes back. It would not be fair to all the Prime buyers trading on the market for much higher prices to prepare for HashBase.

make up a bunch of other fraudulent companies like Coinstand where what is happening/being constructed differs radically from what is actually planned or executed (more fraud)
