Yes, I got out completely.  Over 400 mhs sold and cashed out in transferred BTC almost immediately after I saw the announcement. 

I did not pay much attention to how much ROI I did or did not receive and mostly it could not be calculated anyway.

Most of my primes were converted from gridseed units that I bought for much more than $20 per mhs.  I also had a good number of GAW/Zeus miners that I converted.  I bought others for $16 when they were offered originally (on the first day in fact).  I received between $20-29 per mhs but I have zero idea how they calculated my "earnings".  There is not enough info in the account info area to be able to tell what my ROI is without a LOT of work, and some of the miners I converted I paid $40 per mhs for. 

I am sure I ROI'd however I am equally certain I did not get 250% ROI on average.  Probably a pretty decent ROI in any case.  I am more convinced than ever that zencloud is a ponzi though, that is why I am getting out now.  I am equally sure that GAW will throw something attractive out there next.  They will need new infusions of BTC to keep the system going.

I am also 100% certain I would have made more money if GAW had allowed primes to be sold - I had many offers above 26 per mhs before the sales were banned. I think GAW had to shut that down because why would anyone pay $49 when they could get them on the market for $26-30? 

Anyway, this Prime saga is now mostly over for me.  I have been buying up cheap multihash hashlets because I am gambling that GAW will upgrade them (and so far the other hashlets are saleable on the market).

   

That whole hashtalk forum is a cesspool of hate and anger at the moment.

If you aren't attacking Josh and company you will get downvoted hard.  The place is full of anger bitter teenage virgins all angry after the weekend of no sex again and gunning hard for confrontation...but hide behind their downvotes lol

Its really pathetic in there today.

FWIW I have achieved ~105% ROI on LTC Gear after 6 weekly payouts. I'm still 90% sure they are a ponzi-like structure, but someone in this thread asked a while ago about the LTC Gear ROI, so here it is. It's interesting though that they are still selling at the same USD price as ~2 months ago (even the coupon that was supposed to expire is still valid) but the old shares have been multiplied so are actually earning MORE than the new shares,  which are more expensive in BTC/LTC now due to exchange rates. In other words ROI is getting worse for new purchases I think.

Sorry for offtopic, feel free to downvote me.

Don't pay attention to Mr. Crazy there. Made up shit like the highlighted phrase is his signature MO. GAW owns Zeus? Purchased with Hashpoints probably?

selling hashnest umisoo hashing power

1 TH for 0.95BTC

100 GH for 0.1BTC

Here's the issue I'm having with hating GAWMiners though...

GAWMiners owns the majority of ZeusMiner and ZeusMiner makes some of the most cost effective and profitable SCRYPT Based ASiC(s) currently available.

So should everyone stop purchasing one of the most cost effective SCRYPT ASiC(s) simply because GAWMiners owns the majority in the company.

It's like saying Ohh I don't like Bill Gates so I'm not gonna ever use a Windows Operating System.

Well just to clear things up a bit. They did go to Vegas, there is a thread with photos and there was a contest for some GAW fans to go along to the conference with GAW team. The Vegas trip was certainly no secret.

Several reasons for the drop:
1. Panic induced by a whale selling since the beginning of September. (regular dumps of ~1000BTC between 5 and 8 UTC on bitstamp).
2. The innitial sales broke below $340 which was the old bottom and caused even more people to bail out.
3. There was a bearish trend since the double top at $660 (stamp price) in July, which only maade things easier for the dumpers.
4. Some sad whale tried to manipulate the price by moving a $30k sell wall on stamp. Just a few hours ago the wall was eaten and we came back up over $300, which is bullish.

Can anybody withdraw their BTC yet?

As more merchants adopt it the price will go down. This is because now there is more places to spend bitcoins, those merchants are using services like coinbase or bitpay that take those bitcoins and then resell them for cash on exchanges like bitstamp thus lower the price of bitcoin.

Bitcoin price probably wont go up again until there is more consumer for demand for the coin or until these business can start paying their suppliers in bitcoin and thus less will be converted to cash on exchanges.

The price lowering is further fueled by large scale miners. As each bitcoin becomes worth less the miners have to sell more and more of their coins everyday to cover their operating costs, once again further lowering the price of bitcoin.

Well, we've seen it drop from $30 to $2, and we've seen it drop from $266 to $38.  Now we're seeing it drop from $1200 to somewhere under $300.  I'm not sure there's any 'reason' for it beyond human psychology.

Companies like bitmain and other cloud hashing companies that sell btc to pay energy are a big reason the price will continue down. Until some go out of business, or get more efficient, that 70% fee is our btc being sold into the market at whatever price they get. The % we get will continue to decline until some of these cloud hasing companies go out of business I fear.

The antminers have become significantly less profitable in the past few days alone. The less profitable the UMISOO is, the more it makes the problem with the bitcoin price decline worse. Every time we lose a %, that is 1% more being converted you CNY to pay electric.

Either a huge new set of buyers has to come in and sustain buying, or the price will drop significantly from here until it weeds out higher power cost miners to incentivize people to buy bitcoins again over mining them.
