Some background:
CEO of GAW miners went on a public rant trying to promote his new venture saying that they had partnerships with big companies like Target, Amazon, and Walmart... This was followed by a bounch of other such statements.
Coinfire covered this, stating the obvious. That he was outright lying.
Here's an archived version of a catched page containing the article:
https://archive.today/gCnQW

I don't see any proof of him sayin "he had partnerships" in the article or anywhere else. Where is this outright lie you're talking about?
As for the hack, I don't support it, but I doubt it was done by GAW employees. You don't need to be smarter than the average to know that such things bring more publicity to the victim, not the attacker.
Staging this would be a smart move by coinfire. A lot of people will hear about them after they hype it as an attempt to shutdown free media.


So then he essentially lied when he posted it on HT that you will be able to make purchases with paycoin at target, walmart, and amazon.  He said it on his official announcement when it was called hashcoin. 

He never said any of those names, just that there where large retailers involved. And about the ICO, it has always been so that only after ICO 2 hashpoints would be able to be converted to Paycoins. They just gave everybody another 2 weeks of hashpoins mining instead of waiting for 2 weeks and only be able to mine BTC.

Get your facts together!

It doesn't mean that he already had established partnerships. The word will is also used to express opinion or promise. Wink

What is it now? Everybody needs to hve their own thread about GAW? There are already 3 active ones in this section, all about the same thing.

I originally posted this in the speculation section, a mod decided to move it here. The other posts you mention are about slightly different topics anyway.

They forced their hundreds of thousands of user's accounts into enabling 2fa, without being able to disable it, before they can withdraw ANY bitcoin. Plus, they pushed their "ICO" back 2 weeks so they can rake more free profits from people pointing their hashlets at "HashPoint" pool AKA store credit to buy this magical $20 coin with for $4. So, they done goofed to say the least.

i can withdrawal BTC and have no 2FA.

Some background:
CEO of GAW miners went on a public rant trying to promote his new venture saying that they had partnerships with big companies like Target, Amazon, and Walmart... This was followed by a bounch of other such statements.

Coinfire covered this, stating the obvious. That he was outright lying.

Here's an archived version of a catched page containing the article:
https://archive.today/gCnQW

Why a catched version? Hours after the article went public, It caused a lot of people to be furious. Coinfire was hacked and people started thinking it was GAW that hacked into the website.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2n71hm/coinfire_hacked/
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2n7c9r/coinfire_publishes_article_with_details_about_gaw/

Apparently "GAWCEO" didn't really do much to defend his company against those accusations. He went on to say that the alexa rank of coinfire wasn't important enough for them to care about it. But guess what, the hashtalk post where he said that is now down as well.

Read the comments in those two posts. There's a good chance they'll make you want to laugh at GAW and Josh. People have started realising what's going on, and since Paycoin was supposed to be the next big thing, it's certainly not off to a good start. Not to mention all those marketing efforts to overhype it being thrown to the dumpster.

What's after this? Do you think this is a situation the scheme GAW has built can survive? Or they done fucked up for good?
