Oh crap...I just noticed I double quoted Franz...I meant to quote yous and Franz ...posting from my phone while driving a semi truck chewing gum and talking on the CB at the same time...the ol knee on the steering wheel trick

I'm sorry you guys feel that way...I can promise you I am not a shill paid or otherwise and I definitely am not kissing the cinnamon hole ( that made me LOL ) any way I got an invite and yes I have been positive on XPY that is no secret...I am giving a review as things progress on HT. I have been upfront andv honest about my experience with CoinStand so far...it not done yet as I have not received goods yet. Keep an open mind...it might be good for all crypto.

Save the  JG rants in reply...I am just speaking on CoinStand

I am not blind I can assure you that. Yes Josh has a habit of saying things with out considering how his opposition will twist it. Seems a lot of folks have become quite the experts at it. i am not trying to cause any rift ...truth is I do not frequent this forum by choice but I used to have a friendly relationship with K6TTR and he said he would answer questions so I asked a couple and in waiting for a reply chose to address what I see half truths and twisting of words.

That is a smart move and will help with the adoption. It only make sense, if the retailer can use crypto to pay vendors for goods and services that helps complete the cycle minus fiat dump.

Looks like word twisting to me...he said "where BTC has failed" and you know there is a specific meaning to that statement and I never seen him say its not viable. Keep painting with that broad brush

The cost will be minimal. It is going to use already existing payment platforms. If a business accepts BTC the will be able to accept PC. The new coin will be able to loaded onto a debit card and used in existing card readers. the benefit to a company is huge...fees in the pennies instead of 2-3% of the transaction. When the bean counters figure out to accept the coin will reduce the fees to accept CC payments what do  you think will happen? 2-3% to a tier 1 major retailer is a lot of money.

I honestly think GAW gives a shit about crypto. Yes they are in business to make money...who isn't? Josh has not bad mouthed BTC and has stated Paycoin should compliment it and help make it more main stream. The goal is to make it easy for any one to use. Do you not think that will bring new people to crypto? BTC is easy for you and me to use because we have been in the game...How many times have you tried to explain BTC to a newbie and got a glossed over stare? PC will introduce crypto to new people and those new people will find interest in other alts including BTC.

What started all this?...I remember you from HT and seemed you used to be  a happy and active member of that community.

What is the end game? what do you hope to accomplish?

@KC6TTR I am bummed you got banned from HT…I enjoyed reading your posts. I always figured you for one of the smart ones and someone I could learn from. I am also kinda bummed to find you here with the hate. Obviously I do not frequent this forum…curiosity got to me and I instantly recognized your screen name and remembered chatting with you about that liquid cooling stuff you where researching. Very cool stuff BTW (no pun )

I have no wish to be disrespectful so please don't take my post in that regard. I do disagree with your position about GAW and we should leave it at that. It was not even my intention to post here at all But I remembered having some good conversations with you and I felt compelled to post to you. I will not try to persuade you from your opinion but if I may I would like to leave you with a little saying I like to use "forgiveness is not for the person being forgiven" Don't be bitter bro, for you, not for any one else…best of luck to you and I hope your life is like a loaf of Italian…long and full of dough 

Is that a GAW endorsement in your sig???…EPIC!

Spend $20 get a Hashlet and see what happens. It is my belief that all you people saying that GAW is a scam are not correct. Your views are understandable and some of their behavior could seem suspect.

I am a customer of GAW and have been for a few months now. I started off with one 1.3 MHs Fury. I had some difficulty with my order in the beginning and will admit it took a few days for them to address me. Once I got their attention I was treated very fairly and was in constant contact with them all the way through. I then went to the ZenCloud with a new miner. I have PM's a mile long with Eric of Zenminer  treating me fairly and compensating me for a day of lost time (more than was owed I might add)

I have taken advantage of free upgrade to Hashlets and my payouts have increased. I can take the funds at any time and often do. I have even asked the CEO Josh to call me on my cell phone for a concern I have and he called me 5 minutes after I PM'd him.

I can certainly understand how people could think this is all a scam but for me the behavior suggests otherwise. I have even seen Josh set up a matching fund for charity and follow through with a donation to help a member of the Hashtalk community (DrPaul) I have seen him fund a members BTCJam loan and then tell him "we take care of our own around here"

The guy just spent $1,000,000 to acquire domain "BTC.com" and $8,000,000 to acquire ZenMiner. He is readily accessible in the forum. GAW has made announcements and every one is for the benefit of miners.

I will admit, I am a GAW fanboy…LOL  Are they perfect? no they are not. Do they have whats best for the miner in mind?…Yea I believe they do.

Anywhere you choose to spend money in the Crypto arena is a HUGE gamble. Lots of crap companies out there. and it is sad that this industry has brought out more crooks than legit folks. I am nobody special just an average guy with a small mining hobby and so far GAW has proven they are in it for the long haul and care about the customer. i believe they truly want to offer value to the customers and NOT rip them off

If I get burned by GAW I will come back here and eat a great big piece of humble pie…but so far they have been good to me, made problems right and offered me a great value for my money. Just my .00000001 BTC

Thank you for posting that DrG. I don't think I am new but I know there is a lot more I need to learn. I don't frequent this forum very much but I have enjoyed many of your posts.

I also wanted to address GAW/Zenminer. As a customer of theirs with 8 miners on "the ZenCloud" I am very satisfied with them. Even before the merge both have shown me they care very much about the customers. I have had a few bumps with them but they have stayed in constant contact with me and made every one of my issues right. In my book that counts for a lot. I been on this earth for a few years and I know "Stuff Happens" and it is how that stuff gets felt with that counts the most.

I would second your suggestion to read up on difficulty and the such. Find out all you can before you make a leap into the crypto realm. I am still trying to figure out how to ROI…LOL but once you get involved in this it is highly addictive. No visible chance to make my money back but I just can't stop playing around with these miners…LOL

I would also add once you take DrG's advice and educate your self….never and I mean NEVER invest more money then you are willing to loose. One day this all looks good and you gonna make some ching and 10 minutes later BTC went from $630 to $513 ( I just lost $200 BTW)….

@Bitsaurus …LOL I just read your snappy comebacks to the "shill posts" 

is there something up with the display end of WP?….I am showing "dead" but I continue to gain earnings. i am not getting any stats on my hosted UI either…just wondering?

The luck was pretty good on BTC Guild before this bad streak. It does suck but I will ride it out and hope that it swings back the other way just as far.

I maybe wrong, but you ain't right…..right?

This has fixed the issues I was having!!   Thank you very much. No crashes and synced right up on my 10.7 Mac

I know the mountaineers can do it ….but there is a reason they close the Grapevine when it gets 1/64th of an inch of snow fall…LOL…I drive over Donner pass all the time also..Wrecks-O-Rama when it snows there too…I will say the craziest winter drivers are in Ohio..I have had people pass me in my semi truck, while its blizzading, on the sidewalk…no lie. 3 different drivers on the same day…and I don't drive slow in the snow

How come I find this thread so enjoyable …until I get to posts made by the guy above me?

Ahh.. this thread suits you a little better than the "end with a question" thread. DrG is talking about the fact that if it where not for Americas "war on humanity"  as you call it, you would be writing your post in German if you where aloud to write it at all. The US has and does participate in wars it should not but..it has participated in wars that mattered the most and prevailed I am sure you have heard of World War 2…maybe you are a youngster and just don't know history well enough yet.

Looks like you have a bad case of Grumpyitis, If the reason I find humor in it is not obvious, well… maybe you should stick to more serious threads….Right?
