The future of alot of people's interest in Crypto is riding on great promotions like this, as well as getting REAL information out, and dispelling rumors.

It brings attention to a coin that has all the potential, but no attention yet.

Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away ! Post by: pastet89 on April 27, 2014, 08:53:31 AM Hi all.
Few days before the end of this contest I feel obliged to share with you my concerns. Not sure if you have been following the GPUcoin thread, but seems like the CEO, who is supposed to ship the cards, dissapeared for more than two weeks. As I am a part of the marketing team I have been sending lots of emails regarding different issues both on his personal and gpucoin email without reply. No one heard from him for a long time, folks are complaining about ordering GPUs and not receiving them. I am actually very sceptic if he will answer me and honor this contest as well. I will do my part of the job, for which also I supposed will not get paid by him and announce the results of the contest and send them to him. I really hope he will send the GPUs, but I need to warn you about my expectations. I am really sorry to have been involved in a project with so incompetent and not serious person. His behavior is not acceptable to me, but if things go wrong with this contest I need to say a big sorry from now to all of you guys as despite the fact things are crashing because of him I am representing him and I announced the contest and I feel bad for that. But anyway, things are still not finished I guess and as I said I will submit the results to him and hope for a reasonable reaction. Best other thing I can do is ask the webdeveloper to call him and ask for fast reaction, as he has his number. Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away !

Seems like magalhanze got this prize from the last contest: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=469887.msg6476011#msg6476011 So seems that there is some hope we will get our cards from the CEO! I know magalhanze's address from the last contest, I will be contacting on PM the rest 2 winners to give me their addresses as well. Thank you all again for participating and let's hope for Jaymes to honour the contest ! I am appologizing on behalf oh him for the last troubles related to GPUcoin.

Hi everyone, I'm here to say i just received a radeon r9 270 that i won in the last contest, on march 31. With all those bad news, i wasn't expecting to receive it. Took awhile because im in brazil, also i had to pay around 200us$ in taxes, but i'm glad he sent my prize. good look for everyone that are still waiting shipments https://i.imgur.com/PiaTOJu.jpg Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away !

I don't think you can be the contestant of a contest you are moderating... You can think anything you want, but it is not stated in the rules as a forbidden. Furthermore as per OP rules there are only 4 people qualifying for prizes and me being one of them. If they were 5 I might would consider giving my card to the 5th guy. But in this situation there is just a single solution. Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away !

But you do not have posts in at least 5 sections. So you still do not qualify.Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away ! Post by: illiki23 on May 01, 2014, 04:54:31 AM Umm.. I don't think you can be the contestant of a contest you are moderating... It is not stated in the rules as a forbidden. Furthermore my prize is not due to a raffle which you can blame as fixed, etc.. but to most posts, e.g. clear effort which anyone can do. Also I feel a bit stupid about it and honestly didn't expect to win. If there were more winners I would hapily give my card to them, however, there are exactly 4 qualifying guys including me as the number of prizes. In this situation I see nothing else as an option instead of spreading the prizes between us. It is generally implied that the person running a contest cannot be eligible. You should know better. I would have been eligible but the owner abandoned us so I changed my sig. This whole contest is bunk. Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away ! Post by: pastet89 on May 01, 2014, 05:12:28 AM Umm.. I don't think you can be the contestant of a contest you are moderating... It is not stated in the rules as a forbidden. Furthermore my prize is not due to a raffle which you can blame as fixed, etc.. but to most posts, e.g. clear effort which anyone can do.

I would have been eligible but the owner abandoned us so I changed my sig. This whole contest is bunk. If it is not written clearly in the rules (as it was in the emunie lottery, or Coca-Cola lotteries for example), it should not, however this is not the case here. Furthermore why didn't you say that in the begining of the contest, when you saw that I am participating by using my signature for the whole month, which I must admit was not a pleasure to me, but you are saying it now, when you see that I am winning and you are not? But during all this month you did nothing but wining for your 0.15 BTC in the GPUC thread and seems that now you are sorry you didn't kept your siganture till the end as Jaymes did appear and said he will ship the prizes. So you are calling the contest "bunk" only beacuse you are angry for the consequences of your own actions. Stop behaving like a woman who is constantly complaining when she is unhappy and try ti blame others for that. If you or anyone have solid reasons and can point me to a link which clearly states that OP of this contest states that team members can not participate, or article in the forum rules, stating that contest moderators can not participate in it, link to it. Otherwise go and learn to bahave much more like a man and learn from your own errors, instead of trying to blame others for your own mistakes. I have been thinking few times to put down my siganture during that month but I did not and now I am happy for this. Yes, I am happy, because I will get at least one card for my efforts during this month doing at least some job for the GPUC whih will get paid now due to the coin being that. And I will be able to recover at least some of the 3 BTC I lost in the whole deal. Yes, 3 BTC. But I am not wining trough the whole forum for them just like you.

Post by: tylerderden on May 01, 2014, 12:18:11 PM whatever man I posted way more than 3 times in the gpu thread. whatever keep the junk card... I am sorry, I fixed that! But you do not have posts in at least 5 sections. So you still do not qualify.again i did post in several sections, it doesn't matter this contest like the coin is complete bullshit. Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away ! Post by: BaiMangal on May 01, 2014, 02:38:27 PM I think pastet89 is right as it is was never stated in OP that he can not take part of the contest and he honoured the rules from the begining, keeping the signature till the end. Obviously he would have not edited his signature if he has was not planning to participate.
Furhtermore, usually contests which clearly states organisators can not participate include element of a raflle as people can say at the end that the raffle was fixed. In this case there was even not a raffle so no one can rise this question. Pastet89 has followed all the rules in the OP, has not broke any rule (only one rule for not participating was being a Newbie, nothing else), and has made most posts during the contest period which anyone can check by reviweing the users profile in Bitcointalk. Therefore IMO here everything is more than clear. Just my 2 cents... Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away !

You have posted in 2 sections. Maybe you think about "threads", not sections. But anyway, as you are not interested in the card anyway... :) Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away !

The CEO has not sent anything else yet and is refusing to answer any of my emails. Also I have not gotten any payment for my services from him yet.And contest is already over. Now I wish there something with a asic mining gear lol. I am appologizing to all contestents about this as I have organized the contest despite the fact he was the one supposed to provide the prizes for it. I still hope he will send them. Furthermore, I have decided if I receive my card to give it to someone else. Title: Re: [CONTEST] [WIN A VIDEO CARD] | 5 video cards to be given away !

You put in good work that I'm sure could be put to good use on another coin with a solid team. |
