What is GAW?

GAW is

-a site that sells miners (well, two, actually)
-zencloud, which is a marketplace for virtual goods and an interface for managing them
-hashtalk forums that are used to promote other companies and goods (e.g. Paybase) affiliated with the people behind GAW

Zencloud's death has been promised for a while. Now HashTalk's shutting down. I don't imagine gawminers.com is far behind.

He's winding down the business.

I don't see what's wrong with any of this.

So, kegstand is using Garza's account to ship goods to customers. From a user's perspective, who cares? They might get in trouble for it. They might not. It doesn't really change the user experience.

So, Garza is affiliated with coinstand. Many people have multiple companies that do different, but related, things. I don't see how this is a problem.

So, only the biggest brownnosers and coin promoters get invites. Would you prefer that Garza just cut them $1,000 checks? Garza had made no secret that the $20 exchange rate will not hold, that it's only temporary.

After all that's happened in the past, it doesn't seem like he's doing anything wrong here.

Anyone have a screen or archive where Homero insisted that there was no connection between him and gaw and this coinstand.com farce?

He's kind of stopped lying for now. He never says he doesn't have a connection. He says GAW doesn't. That's actually a pretty big difference.

Understand it is a manual purchase where they ask at check out is this a gift so no invoice or paper work with prices are included: "this is a gift from Homero Garza"

Yeah, that's my guess, too. This isn't an affiliate thing. This is a thing where they collect the XPY, then Garza makes a gift purchase that's sent to the purchaser.

The only difference is that I would guess it's an automatic process. I think the plan is to open it up to the world (obviously not at $20 per, lol - more like 20 cents). He'll probably make his money off a favorable exchange rate.

I mean if I was trying to prove how legit this is I would have left no stone unturned.  I would have shown the shipping label, with my own address and name blacked out that would be reasonable.  I would have pulled out the unit and powered it up show it working and I would have used the unit to load up the gift site and claim the gift nothing like that was done some sketch pad shows us a box on the ground.  Big deal.

I don't think there's much of a question it's legit.

However, as Gava said, it's yet more evidence that Garza is behind coinstand. He's been known to pay people to mod his forums; this is just an indirect way of paying people to promote his coin.

I have no problem with this stage, really. He's being very upfront about how this works. A chosen few get, basically, $950 of free gear for testing the site and promoting the coin. When the site goes live, the $20 thing will not be there anymore. He's not lying about any of this, which is a bit surprising, given how nonchalant he was about promising merchant partnerships, a coin support fund, and a $20 floor before.

This stage seems pretty above board.

What he should really do is give suchmoon a beta invite. The guy's pretty transparent, so he'll post about the invite, whatever purchases he makes, and whatever shipments he receives. As Crestington said, the real money is here, and as inBitweTrust said, HT users are tapped. Even if suchmoon frames it in the most skeptical terms possible, it's bound to be more effective than giving MrCoins an invite.

Sometimes I wonder about the strategy.

So he picks out six of his biggest promoters and basically gives them $950 each so they'll go online and legitimize Coinstand. He's expecting that the $20 valuation for the six beta users will pump up the price enough that he can sell XPY into it and get more than $6,000 back out. Only, I don't know if that was possible. It wasn't pumped for very long, and he had to sell enough to make up $6,000 plus however much it cost to have the site built.

Even if coinstand is a total scam, he still had to pay for the site being built, and I don't know if he would have been able to sell enough coins at the short-lived inflated price to cover that.

I love how these promises mean nothing. He's showing screenshots of an online store where XPY is worth $20, but XPY is still at 70 cents.

70 cents! That's basically zero faith.

He said invites will be going out today. It's not like him to back himself into such a short deadline.

Something smells really funny about all of this.

Well is actually a great plan, will start sending out invites, people will get excitied start buying more paycoins,
they would just use the ones they allready have but they cant get them out of zencloud or paybaase, but they dont want to
miss out so will start buying more on the exchanges.

This will pump the price even higher.  

Then when you log in the site wont be functional yet, the only thing that will function
is a new wallet you can deposit your newly purchased coins in to prepare
for when the product sales go live.

THey will start putting great product listings in there showing  how great a deal you will get, so people will keep
putting their coins in there dreaming of how awesome $50 Macs will be and how they can buy one for the whole family.

XPY will go up even further.

THen the site will get "hacked" and all deposited funds will get locked.  

or FUDsters will ruin the merchant agreements for them

or the Government will not allow them to turn on sales.

or maybe they will come up with some other excuse that is so absurd that I can not even predict it.



This is pretty reasonable speculation.

Wow, that trumped up screenshot really worked as a pump. Maybe he was saving this one for when he had to pay the tax bill.

https://hashtalk.org/topic/34084/we-welcome-coinstand

Well, this is a bold screenshot.

I really hope that he's telling the truth this time, that you can get $50 macbooks, and it's not completely fake.

I requested an invite.

So what happens with this? What's their out? Are there not going to be any accounts given out? Are there not going to be any products? Are the products going to be marked up so high it doesn't matter that they're taking XPY at $20? Will they take the XPY and never ship anything? What's their angle?

I'm getting the feeling that gaw CEO isn't a scammer.
He's just the biggest fucking narcissist on the planet.

That's always been a possibility, with this kind of crap

https://www.google.com/search?q=hashking+video+contest

and the general cult of personality he created.

The reason I think it's a scam is because he laid out in his rant against KnC a roadmap that GAW would later follow. His cult of personality was just one way he cultivated a customer base for his bait-and-switch.

Going to a different, heavily censored forum to take shots at someone is just tacky. Why wouldn't he post that here to the guy's (internet) face?
355  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW Miners Paybase Paycoin unofficial uncensored discussion.ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: March 18, 2015, 01:07:26 AM
You set an interest rate based on the value of the collateral, right? Otherwise, why have it? So does the interest rate change as the value of XPY changes if you're using that as collateral on the loan?

Because this could work if it's all variable interest rate based on the value of XPY.
356  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW Miners Paybase Paycoin unofficial uncensored discussion.ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: March 18, 2015, 12:35:22 AM
What I am seeing here is that you are allowing BTC loans with XPY at current value as collateral, and then paying back the loan (after default) with XPY at the new current rate (always lower). That = ability to short XPY. That sir, is completely insane.

I'd take advantage of this, but it's not worth the risk that these BTCLend people will just cut and run after a "hack" or whatever before they actually issue the loan.

Yeah, this guy is talking in circles and makes no sense.
357  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW Miners Paybase Paycoin unofficial uncensored discussion.ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: March 17, 2015, 10:27:39 PM
This may sound like a stupid question as I know very little about day trading but how can you place any trust in charts where a very large amount of sells can drop the price and then a tiny fraction of buys can  raise the price back to what it was before??  That seems bizarre to me and almost misleading.  Do stock market charts work like this as well?

Yes, which is why you have to be careful looking at charts from the Pink Sheets or Grey Sheets where there could be extremely low volume.

So I had about a dollar of BTC in my zencloud account. I figured I might as well extract it before the whole operation goes under.

359  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: GAW Miners Paybase Paycoin unofficial uncensored discussion.ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :) on: March 16, 2015, 05:02:39 PM
I wonder if that guy realizes that "high six figures" means like $800,000-$900,000.

I doubt someone who says, "I also have multi placeses that I invest" was making $900k. I smell bs.

Maybe Google would be more interested in it? Like one photo of kiddie porn being hosted is minor or not enough?

Kid porn wat? This is new to me. Kid porn, even one picture, could bring a world of hurt. If you found kid porn hosted by GAW, you should get in touch with the FBI immediately.
