Some of your points
1. Yes, always good, apparently coming soon with Genesis Mining, these things must be a pain to set up though as I know on the zencloud they added it and removed it because of people doing chargebacks and trying to commit fraud. It is good that you can pay with credit card on the GAW miners website though.
2. Double Hash?? Thats only happened a couple of times in the past, I think of it as more of a way of attracting customers or making current customers buy more hashpower thinking that they might get double hashrate soon again. I do like the boost idea on the Primes though even though I just think it is a gimmick as to be honest, my payments look just the same as before I could boost them.
3. Yes, I like that idea too.
4. Still trying to work out what the point is. So far all of my Genesis Mining Payments with Sha256 have been higher than any of the pools they mention.
5. Not exactly a lot of money. I would rather have the system that GM have where you are automatically given an affiliate code you can give to others. I have had lots of free hashpower because of that. Plus can't users downvote you too, which means losing money??
6. New things coming with GM too like X11 mining contracts, not something the hashlets will be able to do for a while if at all, but GM actually have had huge GPU farms for months, long before Scrypt Asics started hitting the market.
Apart from lowering their prices, which I don't really see as copying, as everyone has to lower their prices anyway, GAW miners just helped sort of speed that process up a bit with all those hashlet sales, I cant think of anything where Genesis Mining has copied Gaw Miners.

1. Nothing to add here
2. Hashlets are up just a few weeks, how many times would you expect a promo to happen in such a short time?
3. Great
4. You have been comparing the payouts for just a few days, I hope GAW will come on top in the end
5. Every penny counts, especially that in your comparison the difference between some daily payouts of GM and GAW wasn't big, so it's easy to tip the scales.
6. Looking forward to your new ideas. Unfortunately to an average user the fact that you had a GPU farm doesn't mean much besides that the fact that you know your hardware and probably have a lot of coins.
Ok, copying is not the best word. I'd call it reacting to their moves.
OK
2 I believe GAW miners did a similar double hash promotion a few months ago before they had Hashlets, so I was basing that it could be just something they do every few months in general and as people go crazy about it and talk about it, then word gets around and people then have a crazy period of buying Hashlets. It is good for GAW and good for users, but am not sure they would do that too often though. It could be a feature for the prime though in the future, although maybe each prime would just get updated to 2 MH/s each as the price is staying the same, but the other hashlets, apart from the Zen are lowering in price.
4. Yes as a fresh start on Youtube, but I have another account which I have had for a while with lots more hashlets etc, so had a clearer picture. Same with genesis Mining, I had to have a fresh account for both as it would have been so hard to compare as both have different amounts of hashpower in each account.
6. I don't work for Genesis Mining, so the farm doesn't belong to me, I am just someone who has had an account with them since May.
Yes, reacting is a much better word, although copying does apply to some other companies out there, but mainly to those that have sold Asic hardware and are suddenly in the last few weeks, now doing cloud mining with similar worded names.
Cheers
