Well well well. Isn't that interesting. Paid shills on this forum eh. Not surprising.
In particular this incredibly irritating little shit "Evil Panda" who nitpicked and parsed every single sentence down to the full stop questioning everyone on where is the proof Homero said this or that. Not unlike that ike character. I recall quite clearly this Evil Panda going on and on and on about there is no proof Homero said he had 'direct relationship' with Amazon Walmart and Target constantly trying to steer everyone away, so instant it could only be that they had a vested interest in it all and lo and behold.....
List of concerns:
From the cloud mining review thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cloudmining-101-8604001) No public mining address
A cloud mining company that wont let you direct the hashrate to your pool of choosing and cant prove its actually mining bitcoins itself, is almost certainly a scam. There is no reason to hide mining address or not sign blocks. None.
4) Open ended IPO
Unless the cloud mining is operated by the asic vendor himself, you can not sell an unlimited amount of hashrate. Hardware takes (usually a long time) to order, arrive and deploy. Any company that doesnt limit sales or make public how much hashrate they sold vs what they have (provably) deployed should be considered extremely suspicious.
5) Referral programs and social networking
Referral programs, especially ones that pay almost 10%, are a huge red flag. The mining market is cut throat with razor thin margins. No real company can afford to pay 10% referrals on below market cloudmining prices. Referral programs almost always serve only to feed the ponzi and provide financial incentive to posters to lie about the true nature of the company. Never trust anyone with a referral link in their sig.
These are points attributed to GAW, that place it somewhere in the middle between legit and scammy companies in the ranking. If we could disprove them he'd have to change the rating, just like he did when I posted the pictures.
Other things people have asked:
How much actual hash power do you have and is it possible to see the scrypt data center, because the pictures show only the SHA one? The only pictures of the scrypt miners are either those old ones with Innosilicons (but there's maybe 50 of them in the picture which is much less power than you're providing) and the warehouse full of Zeuses, but they aren't connected, so it's not a proof to them.
Were you mining other coins besides LTC in scrypt? If so which ones.
Why are you paying some people using coins from purchases? (somebody traded his payout and claims that it was paid from the same address on which his money landed in the first place)
Why don't you allow people's money to be sent directly to their wallets and make them use withdrawals instead? This would make it much easier and much more transparent.
Why doesn't the marketplace use prices per GH, it would be less confusing for people to use it?
There were also some concerns about the things you've said. For example the brand names you used to promote, like talks with Amazon and other companies. Someone even said you claimed to know the owner of Tesla, but he doesn't know you. Some guy also claimed you were to be on TV but weren't. They also asked about your connections with Stuart Fraser and why he is the owner or co-owner of your previous companies. A lot of this is pure trolling and speculation, but for example, one of the companies you were formerly employed by has the same address as Fraser's house.
One idiot also said yesterday that you probably didn't finish high school because he hasn't seen your diploma and that you should hire someone to do the spellcheck for you...
We could simply ignore all questions about hashtalk, because how you run this forum shouldn't concern them, but the hash power and mining address quiestions are persistent.
I'll let you know when I come up with more, this should be enough for the time being.
