He is read a few posts back he said hes taking a short break due to holidays for him

Unfortunately not that I am aware of. That is why I had to use a newer laptop. You could use the original miner but its pretty dated (that was what I used before switching).

well according to the time he uses for everything (UTC) its still :6:54 PM Tuesday, January 6, 2015. This means he still has 5 hours or so but my hopes are starting to dwindle 

No word yet. It still says Jan 6th. I think hes confusing it with when the next payout should be (Friday the 9th)

The only thing we can do is hold and pray that btc price goes up. If price goes up maintenance fees will go down which means the value will go up pushing the price up.

I bought at 0.0007 so I think my ROI is infinity

Its possible it will drop how low not sure but a 50% increase in 24 hours is usually artificial (without huge news) with the exception of bitcoin in the 2013 rise (that just didnt drop at all til after 1k)

I honestly do not think this event will lower the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is already pretty low and bitstamp I think is trying to correct it. Bitstamp is probably one of the most reliable exchanges (and transparent unlike btc-e).

If you want to see the price go up we need the price of btc to go up which in turn will allow payouts to increase.

Let this be a hard lesson for people NEVER store money on exchanges unless your trading. Use your own wallets.

One more day to go anything past that and I think its safe to say ltcgear was a ponzi

Depends where you are over here in US its the morning of Jan 5th.

Difficulty is shooting up as all the people that were mining that wannabe coin paycoin switched back to BTC. Also bitmain has new miners coming out that mine 1TH each so that is increasing the network tremendously

Bitstamp price might change and drop like a rock but doubt it will affect the other already real low bitcoin prices. If anything might get some new buyers in the other exchanges for these lost or stolen coin.

Interesting the huge bitmain walls seem to be gone maybe they listened to all the customers complaining about this 

At the very least GAW needs to start accepting paycoin for their products both hashgear and hashlets. I mean its their own currency and they claim it to be revolutionary even when compared to bitcoin then why are they only accept bitcoin for most of the products  

We should see some results in 24 hours according to Chris. Now if there is another delay or no improvement is seen after 24 hours then all hell is probably going to break loose.

When you tell me to go to your partner and he requires an upfront payment then scams me. Then I ask to buy from you directly you tell me you require 30% upfront it comes up as very suspicious on top of both of you wanting psn credit from me. In your other threads you say you accept escrow but  wont do it when I asked. I never said you scammed me directly since I have no proof of that but warned people to use escrow since I got scammed by someone you vouch for.

The price would not be this low though a drop yes but not this low. Bitmain created 3 huge 300btc walls which are very hard to overcome. We overcame one and they put another 300btc in its place 24 hours later.

Keep in mind two things. First all companies that accept bitcoin convert it to fiat right away which means selling. Second ltcgear used to buy bitcoin and A LOT of it since they mined ltc and right now its not due to complicated factors.
