It's all because of the ugly glasses that I borrowed from bitpop's avatar.

If you don't convert you can continue mining 1 satoshi. It was explained recently that maintenance fees can't go down, so it's largely a foregone conclusion.

Yes, the actual staking rate will be determined at the start of the round, but for the first round a range of 0.0075-0.01 per day has already been given and is displayed on ZenCloud.

$20 value is presumably for the "public launch", whatever that means. Nobody knows what it will be at the end of first round, obviously everybody expects "to the moon".

Did you just hack my webcam to take that photo?  

Just in case it's not completely obvious, let me point out a couple of things with this recent stream of announcements.

POW with public mining will start sometime next week. Apparently they don't have a working wallet yet, still waiting for a screenshot to be posted:

Visa debit cards will start to be issued "within the next two weeks". The actual issuing bank has not been announced yet, not to mention all the other important details.

"Multiple exchanges" have been mentioned without any dates or names.

HOWEVER.

All decisions to convert your hashlets have to be made before the end of next week, i.e. before any of the above happens. And once you've done that, there no way back, and Market will be closed for you once you've chosen your conversion option.

If you started today, you could probably make 400HP by the end of POW. That would be 1 full PayCoin, or ~0.07 per day I guess. If you convert your Prime to a single "forever" HashStaker, you should be making 0.0075-0.01 PayCoin per day. Conversion starts soon and lasts only for 48 hours, so HURRY

Satoshi wouldn't understand paycoin. It was shopped around the globe remember and it was beyond the comprehension of all devs. Satoshi is in hiding because he saw that Josh was coming and that his lifes work (bitcoin) would be just destroyed in an instant. Basically he disappeared to hide from all the public shame. Poor bugger i mean he didn't have a chance... nobody does when you have features like hybrid flex powered by thermonuclear fuckin capabilities. It won't be long before North Korea wants in on all the thermonuclear stuff.... that shit is ace!!!!

GAWsome josh !!!

you show them boss!!

gunna buy even more hashsteaks now!!!

genuis!!!

Josh is the bestest!!!

thanks CEO_Gaw we love you!!

What a freak show.

Yep its true i'm a newbie... lets not forget that i was invested with GAW. If you really want to know i had the free 10GH at the start. I waited 5 days and watched then though hmm might grab some zens. I had 90MH in zen approx and still liked what i saw. Then i got some primes... at peak i had 330MH of prime, I didn't want paycoin but i was doing zen and double dipping into hashpoints in the chance this side coin had some traction.

When i saw the nazi forum behavior and the only comments on the forums from people that appeared to be in a crazy pot induced state of euphoria i mean come the fuck on.. GAWsome, Go Josh, Blow me Josh, Josh you're the man... Josh o Josh you don't need to prove anything we love you.... i became sick. I realised that its not normal for the world to be that tilted on the side of good there is always balance and no negativity means heavy moderating. I got scared when i saw his slow plan on cashtakers and bailed and i'm fucking glad i did. I do thank josh for breaking me into the world of ponzi its taught me a alot and how to be more vigilant and skeptical.

I had around $14-$15k invested at one point and while it wouldn't break the bank it sickened me to know if i was 1 person 100 others like me made him $1 million. I do feel remorse though... i know some poor bastard has my primes and zens. What helps me sleep is hoping that either GAW bought them back from me or one of their top 10 champions that are in on it got them.

So newbie maybe but i lived the GAWful experience and didn't get the first 3 months of plundering from later investors. Newbie me if you like i don't give a shit but it doesn't change the experience i had and what my opinion is. I guess in 6 months one of us will be a dick right? I'll happily apologise if i'm wrong... will you?

Maybe some jurisdictions will charge GAW with bait and switch. People signed up for bitcoin and scrypt mining and now practically being forced to stake for some yet releast ShitCoin.

I just got into HT .

So, it looks like Primes are going for about $55 a MH right now. I wonder what the pricing will be like tonight? I wonder if it's worth holding out and seeing if it doesn't spike into the $60 - $70 range.

I have a few more Primes to offload, but trying to figure out the best time to dump them. I could have made more BTC if I hadn't liquidated the majority earlier, but my crystal ball was broken. 

To me it just seems like they are creating ways to keep people buying more and more and not having to pay them out for long periods of time...

I can't believe people are so blinded by greed that they can't see how they are being taken advantage of.

Shh don't make too much noise, I am selling my hashlets
