Hi! I'm a web developer. I found this coin few days ago. This community is really unique, so I decided to invest some money and became a part of it.

Welcome, I am new to this too.

Welcome guys, did you see the InfoMercial about NaVaJoCoin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwvyvCy_XTQ


Welcome all! Dont forget to join the slack channel as well to get to read news first

yeah indeed. I did notice someone is busy accumulating a lot. Personally i prefer waiting on trex and some more updates from the dev. The coin is going in the right direction, but i really would like the dev to be more active here.

He comes online everyday, but itsnt much of a talker it seems...hope that will change as that brings more confidence and trust. Everytime he only posts 1 line of text and thats it...it would be nice if he shared what he is doing and just do some more talking in here to attract new investors..

Great, looking forward to the updates. Also dont forget to update the first page as well as new investors read that at first.
166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SMAC - Social Media Advertising, Market Live on Bittrex! on: March 05, 2015, 05:35:05 PM
Does the community have any suggestions for a new name?

maybe just use SMA instead of SMAC

but i dont really mind, smac sounds good, who cares it looks like scam
167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] SMAC - Social Media Advertising, Market Live on Bittrex! on: March 05, 2015, 03:28:56 AM

trixter is obviously getting paid to shill by the word and needs every fucking satoshi he is getting paid to be a professional solipsist and help keep the GAW/Paycoin turdboat afloat for another day.

You should consider doing some due diligence on trixter.  he's not an unknown. his credentials RE: computers/tech should carry some weight on the tech stuff.  as far as interpreting the totality of facts, that's just more art than science and evey one does it a little differently.


Yeah indeed but thats going to be difficult as Pauls brain cant handle anybody who doesnt agree with him. And even when he puts people like me on ignore he feels the need to call "us" by our names and telling "us" what to do. This guy is a joke.

Just read his post history, it shows enough:

total posts: 1037
total posts about gaw scam: 984  Shocked
offtopic posts: 3
relevant post: 50



I'll quote your message so he can see it and defend himself if he wants.  You know some people came here seeking help early on from the GAW scam and cut our teeth on BCT here in this thread.  I don't think many people expected it to go on as long as it has, so whats you're point he has cred around here and you must have some seriously rustled jimmies to go through his post history and tab out his stats lol my sides @ your rastled jimmes.

As i said i fully understand why he started this thread but a forum is about starting a discussion. So its ok if people disagree but all he seems to do is post funny pictures, scream fud all day long, get into fights with members who disagree and so on. Whats the point in that?

And i understand everybody is different. Thats why i decided not to argue with him anymore as i think
its a waste of my time and not good for this topic as well.

But yet again, even when he says he ignores me, for some reason, completely out of nowhere he starts attacking me by using words like "fuck", "turds" and stuff like that. So i dont know what his problem is but communication clearly isnt his strongest point.

but i put him on ignore as well now so all fine again Smiley

I wasnt aware of the google mails...will take a look at them right away..

Well there is 50,000 of them so you better catch up before talking shit in here.  And for the people who have been arguing with paycum over the last few pages, the dickhead is referring to the last bunch of DKIM emails published by coinbrief.

He isn't even aware of last nights events.

Lol its almost undoable to catch up as stuff gets posted every second...

But even if there where a million emails that doesnt have to mean a thing. People say a lot in private emails, that why they are private. What do you think what you get to see if you saw all internal emails of a random company, lets say a bank or your wifes conversations with her best friend...
171  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW Miners Paybase Paycoin unofficial uncensored discussion.ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: March 04, 2015, 10:29:34 PM
DKIM doesnt have to mean anything. Even if the DKIM is legit there are many other ways to create something like this. If some angry employee, hacker or whoever has root access to that domain he can create this all within 5 minutes..

But what domain was it?  Werent they using google apps for domains?  Wouldnt that mean that google has the private key and not a GAW employee?  I dont know I really did not look into it but I seem to recall a whole lot of google looking webmail things and the fact that all the emails were on google groups indicating that  their email is probably gmail hosted.  

If that is the case then it is entirely likely they are using gmail hosted services they will not be able to see the private key.  Thus any compromise would have to be at google, either from an employee there or someone breaking in and being able to steal their private keys.  

It seems less likely that someone who got the private keys would use them for this.  It also seems less likely that a google employee was the one that either leaked the key to an associate or directly created these emails.

As a result the DKIM signatures are probably legit and not the result of someone faking the emails.

Now if GAW wanted to invalidate the DKIM signatures all they would have to do is change their DNS, if they want it to work for future emails they have to log into  their google admin home page, go to the gmail app, click on settings and then go to "Authenticate Email".  They can issue a new key which will revoke the old one.  They would then have to update their DNS with the newly provided public key.

And again im not saying you guys should stop or arent right...im just saying that every story has 2 side and as outsiders you never know what the whole story is...so all is based on assumptions instead of facts


The assumption that google was not penetrated in a way that led to the compromise of the private keys is a pretty good one though.  Conversely the assumption that GAW had the private key all along is not as strong.  Occam's razor, it is more likely that GAW does not nor did they ever have the private DKIM key.


I believe it was the gaw domain, but i didnt read all emails as there was big bunch posted here yesterday and today. My DKIM story was based on the first emails i saw which all came from and send to geniusesatwork.com if i remember correctly. So if someone had plesk/cpanel/directadmin or shell access then it was easy to setup.

I wasnt aware of the google mails...will take a look at them right away..

Again not saying he did or did not get a debitcard approval, but come on immediately calling this a scam based on this is ridiculous.

Immediately? Grin

Look, I've said this about a million times already - any single mistake/broken promise/failed feature/whathaveyou can be explained and apologized for and otherwise swept under the rug. It's the OVERALL picture that we are talking about. Not about Mastercard, but about the pattern of GAWCEO implying partnerships (Amazon, Walmart, Gyft, etc) where none existed. Not about the Honors program, but about the ludicrous promise of a floor and CAF and "moving the market" etc. Not about failing to pay one invoice, but about an inbox full of overdue bills. We could probably go on for 1200 more pages about this.

hehe sorry i was just talking about the mastercard part Smiley For the rest i agree there are a ton of orange signs piling up.

Feel a little bit bad saying those things about Bittrex, but still I am mad because of their GRID listing and allowing it to be kept with self trades at the first place for days. I got profit from it, so don't think I am mad because of loss. All this scam support spoils overall cryptoworld, threatens legit coin development. Bittrex is one of the trading game big hosters, so listing scams brings accomplice status to them.

I used to complain about them as well when I got burned on some of their adds that had hidden blocks and premines. I even closed my account with them I got so pissed. They have come a long way and I was able to get a hold of Richie right away to work with him and confirm there is nothing malicious or hidden in our block chain. I have a new found respect for them and Richie has been awesome to work with. They are pretty awesome whatever value my opinion holds. Haha.

Thanks for the support boxxa.

And brightlight.... I don't want to pollute this thread with this discussion and you are welcome to find my on irc at any time; but, we don't have a crystal ball to predict what is a 'scam' coin and what isn't.  We list coins our customers demand and have instituted in a large number of detections and alarms to protect you on potential problems, like what you saw today.  We get hurt by these 'scam' coins as well, so we don't have any desire to list them anymore than you have to trade them.  

Please do refer to my post on this subject from months ago - https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202849754-Our-responsibility-to-you

If we ever fail in our responsibility, please let me know.

thanks,
richie



You don't have a crystal ball, but you have to list the coins that are somehow matured. Bittrex includes almost every new coin. Let those prove themselves in smaller exchanges.
Of course, money is the key answer to that. More trades means higher income without care for customers.

Anyway, thanks for developed system that catches such things that happened in SMAC blockchain.

Well obviously an exchange have to do there best to take precautions which in my opinion bittrex does great. But scams will be there if you like it or not as long as there are no regulations in game.

But i think a lot of the responsibillity lies with people themselves. You can also turn your story around. If it is a new coin let it mature first before you invest in it. Most people make a choice. they choose to risk money because with new coins there is a big chance on getting a huge profit... some prety lines of text and people already send some btc. In my opinion you can not complain when things turn out badly then..you knew it was a risk and you knew there are a lot of scams in crypto world.

Im not saying its a good thing, but its too easy to blame the exchanges.

But a easy solution will be that exchange will ask every dev to supply them with their company info like any other company does. So basically:

- proof of residence
- copy of passport
- copy of utillity bill
- bank statements for the last three monhs
- vat number
- company registration number

Some might say this looks to much but everyone who takes his coin serious shouldnt have any problem with that. And it only costs a few bucks to open up a company so that cant be a problem. At least everybody knows then who is behind the coin. That doesnt solve everything as there will always be fake companies, but it will make it a bit harder too fraud.

Now its just to easy. you buy a 100usd coin script and you can start an ico tomorrow..

@suchmoon, i fully agree on that. Things look far from positive at this stage. He said in about 2 weeks there will be some sort of a solution. Im very curious what that will be...and yes i know he said things before. But if things didnt worked out as planned it doesnt always have to be a scam.

Well, I'm sure we'll all be here in 2 weeks to witness the miracle  Smiley



Yeah indeed. Well at least the popcorn factory is happy with all of this  Grin

lol you guys are so funny acting like inspector gadget, love it  Grin

If all that stuff really is legit then damn this would be the dumbest scam ever. Do you reall think that if this was really a scam, you guys would find evidence (and so much) this easy?

There is a difference between a scam and really bad business sense.  I think that they formed a cult like belief in paycoin and everyone Josh talked to gave him positive responses so he believed it even more.  I also think that he may have embellished a bit but not outright to just scam people.  For example a deal with mastercard that could have been just like hitting up a bank to issue a mastercard debit similar to how paypal does it (a 3rd party bank issues those cards, paypal just acts as a go-between for payments and funding).  He then embellished it to be a deal *with* mastercard instead of a deal to offer mastercards.  There are programs where they would receive a percentage of the fees charged when its used as a credit card so this  could have been a good money maker aside from the downside of backing it with a volatile coin in an environment where charge backs can take 2 months.  The charge back issue is why I scrapped my bitcoin backed debit card a couple years ago, I cant afford that level of risk although I did initially talk to a few banks about getting branded cards.

As for the investor thing that may be a separate ball of wax with the hope and cult like devotion to paycoin which made him think that he could make good on the promises and leave the investor happy.  This looks more like a hope and prayer business model like a gambler hoping they will win and extremely confident in their ability but ultimately losing.  I read those emails more like he believes if he can just keep it going another week or month then it will take off and all the problems will resolve themselves.  Some of the statements appear to not understand that when taking investment money you cant use the same negotiation tactics that you might use when selling widgets.

The ease of the evidence is most likely merely an oversight.  They did not intend for everyone to be able to view the emails, but rather set up a google groups for their domain possibly without realizing the effect of that decision and their sharing policy.  This shows a tech incompetence more than anything else.

I think that there were some serious misstatements made that can have legal implications but I also know that many people do not realize how careful they have to be when selling products (contract law, FTC regulations, etc) or taking investments (SEC regulations and some criminal statutes).  Exactly what is said, how its phrased, even sometimes down to simple words and what disclosures are required come down to a myriad of laws and regulations (10 regulations for every statute congress passes).  

But what do I know I am not a lawyer I am just a poor poor student looking for work especially in coding, security, administration/engineering, or something else I can do to pay for housing, books, etc while getting my law degree.  Hire me! Cheesy

yes true, well said. Indeed he might better used different words then "i have a deal with mastercard" as that apparently gives some people the impression he made a deal with ceo of mastercard himself lol...which nobody does as all "deals" go through a bank or psp.

Maybe indeed many people just think different on the word "scam". Bad business sounds logic but indeed doesnt mean its a deliberately scam.

This pretty much sums up every single user on Hashtalk....




DKIM doesnt have to mean anything. Even if the DKIM is legit there are many other ways to create something like this. If some angry employee, hacker or whoever has root access to that domain he can create this all within 5 minutes..

Im not saying that happened, but if it looks like a frog it doesnt always mean it is a frog. Its like believing in ghosts or aliens...people who are convinced they excist always see every sign as some kind of prove...

And again im not saying you guys should stop or arent right...im just saying that every story has 2 side and as outsiders you never know what the whole story is...so all is based on assumptions instead of facts



So you're implying that "some angry employee, hacker, or whoever" can write months worth of emails in 5 minutes? Now that's impressive.

Ah I see, you must be here to replace Vlad Wink

Hehe no im not saying that happened but yes it is possible. Not only that its easy to do. They didnt have to write anything. Those emails probably excisted but in case they are fake its just a easy altering job to make them look this way...

But who knows, nobody trust/believes nobody anymore...

And for example the mastercard story. In my opinion totally out of proportion. When a merchant files for a merchant account he does that through a processor. So yes obvious if you ask mastercard directly they arent aware of this.

Again not saying he did or did not get a debitcard approval, but come on immediately calling this a scam based on this is ridiculous.

And yes maybe some of it is true, but keep an open mind...some of it might be false as well...you and i just dont know!

Its perfectly clear you are handling this all with one goal only and that is proving it is a scam. It clearly makes you block all other things that point in another direction...

Even if the honor program, the debitcard and stuff like that will show up, i know for sure you guys still will think its a scam...

But im not judging, its human nature...

I think it's just the cryptographic proof of the legitimacy of the emails which reveal the scam that cause us to believe its a scam.

But im not judging, its human nature...

And the problem offcourse now is that one side thinks its a scams and sees the emails as facts while the other side claims that they are altered during a small hack. So its a yes no game where nobody can convince each other Smiley

When price is good I love to buy more at Bittrex when it is there.
Not selling for sure and nobody should sell lower then 200K, only a handfull of this coin


not sure the price will see anything lower than this. highly doubt it

Don't think so either, but when it is I will buy it.
For now buying small parts at c-cex, but don't have much and don't want to have much BTC at c-cex.

yeah same here, c-cex is ok but i trust bittrex much more
