Got an email last night about them turning off "hash.gawminers.com" which was giving me better payout with nicehash than any of my primes.  They pulled the plug on the device already which is weird, there's nothing about compensation for downtime in there but they give themselves 10 days (wonder if I'll get compensated for that?), logging into the dashboard gives you this: (with notes from me)

https://s3.amazonaws.com/fvd-data/notes/288772/1414830027-dUevkq/screen.png

Their offers are pretty lame except the BTC Payout one. 

For Option 1 ZenHashlet:
  • They offer no free hosting
  • Currently maintenance fee is at around 70% of payout
  • They currently seel around $12/M on the market
  • If this were Primes, I would be taking this offer.
For Option 2A hardware:
  • May be your piece of equipment
  • OR anything equivalent (27 Flurrys would be equivalent alright... no thank you)

For Option 2B Payout:
  • Not sure how that BTC1.7 came about but it's a decent offer at around $20.75/Mh.

I was wondering when the "free hosting" deals will end. Didn't last even a year.

Here's a tinfoil take on it: project prime/hashbase was originally scheduled to start on October 23rd. Maybe the original plan was fairly sound: fund the project by selling hashlets, preorder hardware from Bitmain, set up some debit card/rewards/loyalty/affiliate scheme and lots of marketing, and hope for the best. Now it's past the 23rd and the project is not ready. Maybe the hashlet sales revenue has dried out. Maybe bitcoin exchange rate went south unexpectedly. Maybe some deals fell through. Whatever the reason some of these recent actions look and sound and smell desperate.

I actually would like to know how considering I'm still waiting on a withdrawal from October 8th where they created a double spent and are now blaming me for the TX not being visible on the Blockchain, they won't admit that double spends/transactions with no confirms are drop of the blockchain 72 hours later.  This money is probably lost for me, gaw support seemed to indicate that without a valid TXID I can't get anything... one would think that they recorded that request to withdraw ___ to ___ in their systems somewhere before issuing the transaction and could easily see that the recipient never got the deposit.

That sounds kind of backwards. Do you have a deduction on your Balance page or on the Latest Activity page? If you do then it's on them to provide a TX id to you, if you don't then your balance doesn't add up and that should be obvious. Am I missing something? Press them hard on this one.

I see the transaction in my activity, I clearly see the withdrawal for that amount.  I keep asking them to look in their log or better, look at the address were the funds where sent to in order to confirm if they were never sent.

I can't escalate that damn ticket, they admin squashed my account for no reason and have no way of posting on HT.

Contact the BBB and file a complaint: http://www.bbb.org/central-western-massachusetts/business-reviews/computers-software-and-services/gawminers-in-bloomfield-ct-316991

If that does not lead anywhere, then start moving on the SEC or FTC.

No one is going to just give you your BTC back over there, so an outside agency might be needed.


Note that GAW has not bothered to respond to the initial survey the BBB does, hence the C rating. The survey consists of "When did you start doing business? Where are you located? Who is in charge of the company? What is the best contact information."



This GAW ICO is ludicrous and yet another gigantic red flag. It amounts to: "Give us your money now and we guarantee a five fold increase within 2 months." Nope, not scammy sounding at all. Another "guaranteed" profit that will not doubt go the way of "always make money."

The only reason GAW has gotten so many customers is that they are not trying to appeal to the BTC world. They are going for younger, less experienced, and less knowledgeable market. Josh has said so all along, but he calls it something else.

Seems CEO is under a bit of stress- Self imposed- This is going to be one of your last chances to sell at a good price. Every week its something new with locking accounts and taking BTC back. How the hell are they going to be a middle man between users and large retailers? This is a JOKE

Little survey how many people were banned from  hashtalk for speaking up?

I've been banned at least twice.

Yeah, people have their heads in their ass if they believe this Amazon/Wal-Mart thing. Get real. GAW must sit around laughing at the gullibility of these sheep; I know I do.

I was shadow banned and was told the only way to get that lifted is by Josh or site admin..  Is that true?
if you want to get unbanned, talk to animoesto or cyberlizard, they ar reasonable mods
don't even attempt with GAW_CEO, his head is still inside his butthole

Yep.. Chatted with cyberlizard and I was told only Josh or Hashtalk admin could un shadow ban me.. I am not that interested to get back on and get banned again. I swear some of these posters :Bitcoin Bar" for example are being paid by GAW.. with an "ALL IN" statement and constantly posting about how this is the biggest thing since bitcoin idea was formed. Crazy statements.. What is everyone thinking? This is purely on word of mouth .. WOW..lets all drink some laced koolaide and go to sleep!!

Got shadow banned also, took me 2 weeks to realize it, I was also told by moderators that only Josh can revert this ban.. conveniently he just changed his account signature to this:

Quote from: GAW_CEO Signature
Because of the hundred of PMs I receive a day, I am not able to respond to PMs directly. Please please visit gawminers.com for contact information.

This is short for all bans are final.
I was sent a note when I was banned by another hashtalk member. This after I ask josh to layout a roadmap for instead of one liners.. I have been with them for 6 months and all the shit happening with primes and account lockout and then the crazy statements for ICO was it. I started questioning and rebutting every BS statement.

It will be totally awesome when the "credit card" gets introduced, imagine your credit card balance being fixed up every day, one day you owe money, the next day the credit card company is indebted to you  Wink.

hmmmm......not looking like i should be using their GAWminers as a tag line (dang it)

I liked the 0.1 btc a month

so from what i can tell the early adopters made money

and now it is utter confusion due to changes that the later order folks (say last 2 weeks or so)

can make any coin on gaw cloud mining?

(sigh this is one confused thread)



You can't make BTC or any other convertible coin (well you can make a little bit of BTC but the fees are 50-100%). They're encouraging to mine an unreleased coin and are promising a 4x increase in value. I think that's the summary at the moment.

Edit: keep in mind that GAW's focus and promises have been changing a lot in the past 2-3 months, which obviously makes things confusing including this thread.

yeah unless some clarity happens looks like i'm looking for a new tagline when my month runs out on this gawminers one

damn

they imho better pull something out of their hat to fix all this or the backlash will make gox a distant memory.......or so it seems to me

unless someone on here is making coin and is not saying?



Some have made decent coinage. Early going was good, it's the last couple of weeks that have gone down the drain. Early customers were able to sell their hashlets at a profit due to GAW price increases. The hope/hype is that this unreleased coin will do the same for current customers.

At any rate, after being banned from HashTalk and having my BTC held hostage for many days two weeks ago, I decided it was time for me to take action – even after I was finally able to make my withdrawal and sell my $10K in “digital” miners. This involved the initiation of my own legal action. Unfortunately, not even Josh knows who their process service agent is and the person he claims is the head of his legal dept does not seem to respond to my required enquires. Their legal gent listed on the Delaware corporate filing also appears to be elusive and has no interest in accepting legal documents relating to any of the other unregistered DBA names GAW does business under. Oh well. All information has now been handed over to the SEC and FTC, which appear to already know the name GAW and Josh Garza. So, if anyone needs further info on how to file/add their complaint with these US regulators who DO have jurisdiction over GAW/Zen, feel free to contact me.

That's cute. "We hereby confirm we're, according to our rules, are not selling securities." And the law? What does that say? Wink

Oh, pulled a few hashlets from the market to put them in a bit lower

Your account has a withdrawal hold. Please contact support.

I think that's just in case you didn't get the message that you're now supposed to mine HPs and hold - they'll helpfully hold it for you.

Terms of Service
In using this website you are deemed to have read, understood, and agreed to the following terms and conditions. You must read these terms and conditions and acknowledge that you have read and understood them before clicking on the Accept button:

1. Introduction. We provide Users with, among other things, the Services (defined below) directly and through the website and associated domains of http://www.gawminers.com and/or http:// www.zenminer.com (“Site”). This Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is an agreement between you (“User”) and us (“Company”). This Agreement is the entire Agreement between us. For good and valuable consideration, including the receipt of Services from the Company, use of Services and use of the Site, you are agreeing to comply with these terms, our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices, conditions, or guidelines posted on the Site.

2. Terminology. The following terminology applies to this Agreement: “Company,” “We,” and "Us" refers to GAW Miners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company having an address at 34 E. Dudley Town Rd., Bloomfield, CT 06002. “Hashlet” means digital, virtual mining, which may take place on a cloud-based network. “Materials” refers to, among other things, hardware, software, Hashlets, communications, networks, platforms, servers, informational text, software documentation, design of and "look and feel," layout, photographs, graphics, audio, video, messages, interactive and instant messaging, design and functions, files, documents, images, or other materials, with the exception of User Property, whether publicly or privately maintained, as well as all derivative works thereof. “Party” or “Parties” refers to either or both the User and the Company. Any use of the above terminology or other words in the singular, plural, or capitalized, and/or he, she or they, are taken as interchangeable and therefore as referring to same. “Payout” means calculated earnings based on associated and/or selected Pools. “Portal” means a web-based interface for users to control Hashlets, control settings and other configurations, and request Payouts. “Pool” means a currency mining pool. “Services” refers to, among other things, hardware, software, and hosting services for mining operations, including activities involving mining for, and other transactions related to, Bitcoins and other currency. We also provide Users with access to certain Information to assist Users in these activities. Such information is included in “Services.” "User", “You” and “Your” refers to you, the person accessing this website and accepting the Company’s terms and conditions. “User Property” includes any hardware that User has purchased from Company or a third party, and has paid for in full.

3. Purchase of Materials and Use of Services You may purchase Materials from Company. Company may also provide Services, such as hosting services, to You. You acknowledge and agree that while you are using Company’s Services, Company is free to provide the Materials and Services virtually. During the provision of these virtual Services, Company is under no obligation to provide, acquire, or possess Materials dedicated to You by virtue of Your purchase of such Materials. Rather, Company, in its sole judgment and discretion, shall determine when to acquire Materials (such as hardware) corresponding to Your purchase. If you are purchasing, or have purchased, Hashlets, you understand and agree that Hashlets are not physical devices and cannot be shipped.

If you have purchased legacy materials, such as hardware, and if you terminate the Agreement, or if you make a written request to Company, then Company will provide you with your purchased Materials according to the following procedure. Within 21 days of termination or Company’s receipt of Your written request, Company will either possess, or will initiate steps to acquire, the Materials you purchased. Initiating acquisition of such Materials may include, for example, ordering such Materials from a third party supplier. You understand that Company has no direct control over the fulfillment process of any such third parties and therefore makes no guarantees as to the time it will take to acquire the Materials. Once Company either possesses such Materials, or acquires such Materials from such third parties, then, within 21 days, Company will initiate shipment of such Materials to You. Company makes no guarantees or representations regarding the timing or method of shipment of such Materials. You understand that Hashlets are virtual service units related to mining services, but are not mining hardware. Hashlets earnings depend on the pool chosen and Payouts reflect respective Pool Payouts. Selecting a Pool does not imply physically or electronically mining at the selected Pool. Rather, selecting a Pool determines a Payout corresponding to a calculation based on the selected Pool’s payout (based on, for example, real-time Megahash/second/day calculations). A Hashlet is virtual software. You will receive Payouts according to the Pool with with the Hashlet is associated. You expressly understand the the Company’s sole obligation to You is to Provide a Payout based on the Pool you choose. It may take 24-48 hours for your Hashlet to appear on Your Portal. Company reserves the right to refund You, and terminate services, at any time and for any reason. All sales are final. Pricing of Materials and Services is subject to change, at Company’s sole discretion, at any time, including after you have purchased Materials and/or Services (including Hashlets). Adding an item (such as a Hashelt) to a “cart” does not “lock in” a price. Maintenance fees may be adjusted up or down by the Company at any time and for any reason. Your Portal may not always be available.

Company reserves the right to reverse any entry and/or payout if it believes, in its sole discretion, that the entry or payout (or a portion of the payout) was made erroneously due to an error or omission in Company's system. Company will notify you within 3 business days from the date the error or omission is discovered by Company.

Company may offer Pool-specific Hashlets. With Pool-specific Hashlets, Payouts are based on the specific Pool for which the Hashlet was purchased and Payouts are not based on any other pools. Company may also offer trading services. With such trading services, Hashlets may be traded. Company reserves the right to charge a fee for any such trading activities, which Company will determine in its sole discretion. Company can cancel trades at any time and for any reason. Company can also reverse trades at any time and for any reason. The actual selling or trading price for an item being traded may change prior to the trade taking effect and/or prior to the item being sold.

12.2. GAW reserves the right to suspend or terminate your GAW Account at any time if we reasonably believe to be required to do so by the law or in order to comply with recommendations issued by a relevant government authority or recognized body for the prevention of financial crime.

12.3. It is strictly forbidden to use the GAW Account for any illegal purposes, including but not limited to, fraud and money laundering. GAW will report any suspicious activity to the relevant law enforcement agency. The User is prohibited from using his/her GAW Account in an attempt to abuse, exploit or circumvent the usage restrictions imposed by a merchant on the services it provides.

12.4. It is the User’s and not GAW’s responsibility to ensure that the User only sends payments to or receives payments from persons or entities for the sale or supply of goods and services that the User may provide or receive in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations. The mere fact that a person or entity accepts payments through GAW is not an indication of the legality of the supply or provision of their goods and services. If the User is in doubt of the legality of a supply or purchase, he/she should not continue with the payment.

13. ACCOUNT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

13.1. The User must take all reasonable steps to keep his/her GAW Account password safe all the time and never disclose it to anyone. GAW personnel will never ask the User to provide his/her password to GAW or to a third party. Any message the User receives or website that he/she visits that asks for the password, other than the GAW Website or a GAW payment gateway on a merchant website, should be reported to GAW. If the User is in doubt whether a website is genuine, it is required to ensure the website is EV SSL compliant (Security Certificate Validation is shown in the address bar of the User’s web browser).

13.2. It is advisable to change the User’s password regularly (at least every three (3) to six (6) months) in order to reduce the risk of a security breach in relation to the GAW Account. GAW also advises the User not to choose a password that is easily guessed from information someone might know or gather about the User or a password that has a meaning. The User must never allow anyone to access his/her GAW Account or watch you accessing your GAW Account.

13.3. If the User has any indication or suspicion of his/her GAW Account, login details, password or other security feature being lost, stolen, misappropriated, used without authorization or otherwise compromised, the User is advised to change the password. The User must contact Customer Service without undue delay on becoming aware of any loss, theft, misappropriation or unauthorized use of the User’s GAW Account, login details, password or other security features. Any undue delay in notifying GAW may not only affect the security of the User’s GAW Account, but may result in the User being liable for any losses as a result. If the User suspects that someone else accessed his/her GAW Account, the User should also contact the police and report the incident.

13.4. GAW may suspend the User’s Account or otherwise restrict its functionality on reasonable grounds relating to the security of the GAW Account or any of its security features or if GAW reasonably suspects that an unauthorized or fraudulent use of the User’s GAW Account has occurred or that any of its security features have been compromised. GAW will notify the User of any suspension or restriction and of the reasons for such suspension or restriction in advance or, where GAW is unable to do so, immediately after the suspension or restriction has been imposed, unless notifying the User would be unlawful or compromise our reasonable security interests. GAW will lift the suspension and/or the restriction as soon as practicable after the reasons for the suspension and/or restriction have ceased to exist.

13.5. The User must take reasonable care to ensure that his/her e-mail account(s) are secure and only accessed by the User, as his/her e-mail address may be used to reset passwords or to communicate with the User about the security of the GAW Account. GAW cannot be liable for the breach of an e-mail account resulting an unauthorized transaction to be executed with proper confirmation. In case any of the e-mail addresses registered with the User’s GAW Accounts are compromised, the User should without undue delay after becoming aware of this contact Customer Service and also contact his/her e-mail service provider.

13.6. Irrespective of whether the User is using a public, a shared or his/her own computer to access the GAW Account, the User must always ensure that his/her login details are not stored by the browser or cached or otherwise recorded. The User should never use any functionality that allows login details or passwords to be stored by the computer he/she is using.

One notable difference between the August version and current one is this:

Quote
3.12 GAW as defined herein  is not engaged in providing investment products, regulated commodities, or financial products of any type or kind.  GAW is not registered as a securities broker-dealer or an investment adviser either with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or with any state securities regulatory authority, and does not offer any product or service based upon the sale or acquisition of securities or derivative based products or services.

And there is a lot more about that, including "forward-looking statements" and such.

Seems CEO is under a bit of stress- Self imposed- This is going to be one of your last chances to sell at a good price. Every week its something new with locking accounts and taking BTC back. How the hell are they going to be a middle man between users and large retailers? This is a JOKE

Little survey how many people were banned from  hashtalk for speaking up?

I've been banned at least twice.

Yeah, people have their heads in their ass if they believe this Amazon/Wal-Mart thing. Get real. GAW must sit around laughing at the gullibility of these sheep; I know I do.

I was shadow banned and was told the only way to get that lifted is by Josh or site admin..  Is that true?
if you want to get unbanned, talk to animoesto or cyberlizard, they ar reasonable mods
don't even attempt with GAW_CEO, his head is still inside his butthole

Yep.. Chatted with cyberlizard and I was told only Josh or Hashtalk admin could un shadow ban me.. I am not that interested to get back on and get banned again. I swear some of these posters :Bitcoin Bar" for example are being paid by GAW.. with an "ALL IN" statement and constantly posting about how this is the biggest thing since bitcoin idea was formed. Crazy statements.. What is everyone thinking? This is purely on word of mouth .. WOW..lets all drink some laced koolaide and go to sleep!!

Got shadow banned also, took me 2 weeks to realize it, I was also told by moderators that only Josh can revert this ban.. conveniently he just changed his account signature to this:

Quote from: GAW_CEO Signature
Because of the hundred of PMs I receive a day, I am not able to respond to PMs directly. Please please visit gawminers.com for contact information.

This is short for all bans are final.

Hi again

Things are getting worse now !!

I sold hashlets and ended up with a negative account of -0.55 BTC .

everybody should check their account   !!!



There seems to be another shitstorm brewing. Some users are reporting their balances going up after buying hashlets. Perhaps they flipped the sign - sell and lose money, buy and gain money. What a clusterfuck.
