This link shows that Matlack partnered with Shinners, and that Mordica partnered with Shinners. I guess that makes them partners together, but it doesn't indicate that Matlack trusts Mordica, endorses Mordica, or engages in a direct partnership with Mordica. I guess you could say they have parallel status since each one is chose to partner with Shinners, but that's really not the same as choosing to partner with each other.

The link doesn't tell me the nature of the partnership at all. Maybe there's a profit sharing arrangement, but if so, that would seem to derive from Shinner's telecom auditing practice. Is there any reason to believe Shinner's auditing practice is anything other than above-board? (I mean besides the fact that you think Shinners should not choose to partner with Mordica.)

Suppose Matlack sees Shinners as someone good at his job and they have some mutual benefit for each other. And suppose Mordica also sees some benefit to partnering with Shinners. Should Matlack rescind his partnership with Shinners just because Mordica also sees his own partnership with Shinners as a good business opportunity?

The main liability for Matlack in partnering with Shinners seems to be that heroes on bitcointalk will say, "Gotcha! Matlack partnered with Mordica. It looks bad... Or at least, can be made to seem bad." But the logic by which it looks bad is faulty, and relies upon readers not really paying attention to the facts.

As far as I know, Mordica has no involvement with the ionomy.com project and never has. Does anyone have any evidence to the contrary?


Shinners is running a lawsuit now? I thought Shinners tried to organize a class action lawsuit comprised of people who believe they were unlawfully mistreated by GAW. Wouldn't it be a law firm conducting the suit, not Shinners? Who exactly is banking on Shinners? and in what way?

Another good point

Not 2 just 1 Matlack.

Just because they worked together it means nothing to me. In my time I've worked closely with people who if given the chance for self gain would gladly stab you in the back and think it all part the corporate game of dog eat dog.

Nice to have a discussion with people of different perspectives helps me to understand stuff.


   

Sorry I wasn't clear......... For me it's all about seizing the opportunity, if it happens great if not then at least I was there.

If you take GAW as an example I knew it was time to exit just before Christmas, I wasn't one of the first to jump but I wasn't far behind so by the time the systems were falling apart and the lie's were kicking into overdrive I was gone. Well not really gone as I'd come to the conclusion that Garaz was an unprincipled narcissist. Also mixed with his acolytes were good people that he leached and twisted ideas from. So I stuck around hence the reason I switched to XPY.io. I wanted to figure out where he got his ideas from as the sparks did not start in his brain. This is no easy task I wish I could just rely on data points but I can't. Without boring the pants off everyone this process of evaluation for me never stops as a business develops more data points start to come in. Say for instance Suchmoon posts proof  to say ION are based in the Cayman Islands that wouldn't be a red flag that would be an ejector seat.

but you seem to be ignoring previous lessons and what I think the whole point of crypto is. believe everything is a lie until it can be proven, and a great way to prove things is using a decentralized, distributed database

I agree 100%, the problem is by the time that is all in place or I have the information I would consider me a failure and mark it down as a missed opportunity

You are putting your faith in the people that didn't' use those databases to see that Hashlets weren't really, and now have adopted that pan by not using those databases to show that they aren't lying

Today systems are used by people, it's people that steal the money. I'm guessing that most hacks are really inside jobs. Concerning haslets didn't look at the time GAW was a successful mining operation better to deal with than KNC. For me I class GAW as a win. I left at break even, if the lawsuit happens at a profit PLUS learnt a hell of a lot and have followed a path that has brought me here 

You are right that it's your call, but I'm still going to call out the issues as I see them to hopefully prevent others from falling into what I see as a terrible situation.

And so you should I'm just giving you my opinion... No right or wrong just truth & lies / fact or fiction

If you have to ask these questions then Crypto is not for you. If you take the time to look into any crypto company in the level of detail you want you'll see a sea of red flags. Over time more flags appear some disappear and sometimes flags appear exponentially i.e. Cointerria.   

As an investor I've given a reason why being based in Singapore is a good thing you tell me why it's not. ION are just finding their feet unfortunately bureaucracy isn't a US thing it's global.

Joke question = Joke answer   

The world has changed it no longer matters where you live what matters more is your connection to it

Just wondering........ I'm just thinking of setting up in business and would like to know what part of the world I should move too for you to have the peace of mind knowing that any investment you make would be in safe hands.

Good point where are you from ?

Let see if what will happen trying to check my luck hope to see good results with your method as i followed you from your sportsbet tips.

correct, none of the factors to support the variance is in my data...

How those that make it worst??? You agree that there can be a daily variance. But you then disagree with a variance when multiplied by 7 days??? It looks like you are very confused by not carefully reading the information I am posting?

The variance is not for a day, it is for a week (7 days).

The masternode staking is based on the algorithm implement in the ION block chain. This algorithm factors in "connection time" and how many other masternodes are competing for the block reward. This algorithm does not consider the investment strategy of any ION investor.

Each weekly payout has variation because it is based on the amount of block rewards all the Community MNs have earned for previous week. These total block rewards are then divided by the number of active shares to produce the payout per share.
