Can someone summarize the Eric zencloud thing? And is he connected to ion now?

And is he really claiming that they weren't part of the same church? Did we all just imagine that in a linked fever dream?

Eric Capuano was the "owner" (and developer) of Zenminer. Josh claimed to have purchased Zenminer for $8 million and that's how the whole hashlet thing started. Except there was no such purchase. I don't think Eric is involved in any of the post-GAW developments.

I don't know about the church. It's a bit weird that many of them (Josh, Adam, etc.) are from Texas but it's a big state. Absent hard proof I wouldn't assume they went to the same church.

Wasn't Adam involved in that church where the ganza's were giving that video lecture until the scam started to get exposed?

Did you ever send a pm to Flooores before he sent you one?

Isn't the whole point of escrow to bring a 3rd party into the transaction? Why anyone would think they are using escrow because someone sends them a quoted PM is nuts. If you are using user: x as an escrow, be sure you are talking to user x.

is there any serous thread in the forum, the 399 site long one is just offtopic jokes. Where are the information about the legal situation and a possibility to report the lost coin amount?

greetings

i agree we need someone from USA to know how are things going there..

What is there to know?

You gave your coins to Vern. he took them. Were you robbed? if you were robbed the best way to find out what's going on is to talk to the police officer you reported the crime to.

Double-zero roulette has a house edge of 5.26%, single-zero roulette has a house edge of 2.70%, and French roulette (with en prison or la partage rule) has a house edge of 1.35%, all significantly higher than dice. So the best strategy is to avoid roulette and to play on games with lower edge.

your maths is hundred percent right. but please explain the phenomenon that dice apps on moneypot with HE of 0.02% to 0.1% are almost empty or even closed their sites already

there are roulette players who will never touch dice and it does not matter to them how low the HE of a dice site is

yup. people who play on roulette is not about trying to win on the house edge. they just enjoy on the thrill and the excitement of playing on the roulette. however, that does not also mean that they plan to lose too. so we are looking for a better way to play the game.
It's not really an exciting game. It is pretty boring if you ask me. Spin the ball waiting for it to hit a number is really not that impressive.
And playing poker, holding cards in your hand or throwing dice is more thrilling and impressing for you - and looks cooler?
Because gambling is not about visual department being awesome, it is about thrill of the outcome and potential profits you can get.
This is gambling not video game or VR app. If you are so thirsty of visual effect I guess instead of Roulette Slots might be good for you.

i agree with maku, there's no best strategy in roulette.

you better gambling with skill needed like poker or black jack, not gambling like roulette.


edit : roulette is luck gambling
So can you share how is the best strategy in blackjack as i know only a rumour if we can counting a card in blackjack and for counting a card i'm not sure all of that is true.

http://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/strategy/4-decks/

This is the correct blackjack strategy. You can click around on that site and find somewhere where you can enter all the specific rules for the game you are playing and get an updated chart, but this should get you close enough.

Note that this strategy doesn't guarantee you will win (nothing can do that, that's why it's called gambling) but it tells you the best option in every scenario in blackjack.
846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best strategy in Roulette ? on: April 28, 2016, 01:21:41 PM
Of all the gambling games that I have been into it seems the Roulette is the hardest one to win you need to be extremely lucky to win continuously,there is no strategy of course prayer can help and being positive..

There is always strategy in any gambling games but it will never work because gambling is depends on your luck although you have a super solid strategy and if you dont have any luck it will be pointless enough. the result is depends on your luck and some of your bankroll

No.

Strategy will not help in roulette because there is no strategy. Every method of putting chips on the board boils down to the same thing.

Other gambling games DO involve strategy. That doesn't mean there is no luck involved, but your decision making can impact your odds of winning.

Absurd examples from blackjack. It's much better to stay when you have 20 than to hit. It's much better to hit when you have 10 instead of staying. Doing the opposite in either one of those situations greatly impacts your odds of winning that particular hand. In other situations in blackjack the impact of your decisions on your result is smaller, but it still exists. You have a better chance of winning if you hit when you have 16 and the dealer has 10 than if you stay. You still need to be lucky to win, but that doesn't mean there is no strategy.
Absolute correct, analysis does not help in a roulette because the odds always favor on the house. If you play this game consistently expect that you will be losers in the long run.

Just to clarify, just because the odds always favor the house, doesn't mean there isn't a strategy. The odds favor the house in blackjack also, but there is still strategy in this. The odds favor the house in craps (except for the odds bet) but there is a strategy in knowing that some bets are worse than others (the field and big 6/8 are terrible, for example.)

I've keep asked ION team of burning the rest. Mr.coin told me that Huey(Adam ?) is too busy to burn. I wonder he is still busy.

This is not true. We have not had a conversation and I never said this (or anything to this effect) to anyone!

Only an ION coin official will be able to answer what is happening regarding XPY burning.

Never invest in anything that doesn't feel safe or is outside of your comfort zone. Only invest what you can afford to lose - not a penny more. All crypto projects are EXTREMELY high risk. If in doubt, step back and wait a few months and review if need be, or just move on.

Why wouldn't ask questions to try to relieve some of that doubt be a viable option?

The fact that the investments are high risk doesn't mean you should maximize that risk by taking people (especially people with shit reputations) at their word and refusing to inform yourself.

I highly recommend everyone ask as many questions as they wish. But, don't quote me on things I never said.

Do I know the answer to the question? Yes I do. But it's not my place to answer. Do your own research, contact the ION team and ask yourself.

Every time I tried to help with answers I just got troll rolled, attacked and called names. So I checked out of offering assistance and leave it to you to do your own research and for the ION team to provide their own answers in their own time. Good luck!

Then stop telling people who are asking questions to move on. Let them ask their questions, and if you aren't going to give the answers, let the silence of the people that managed to lose tons of money in this industry speak for itself.

I'm sorry that me calling you stupid for believing that garza sold you a $20 bill for $4 is going to push you all in to another idiotic investment via the same idiots that believed that.

Hopefully the other people around who actually know what the word reasonable mean know that it means figuring out what is actually going on and can see how little of a clue matlack has about anything and sit back and watch the world burn with us.
851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the odds of dice man on: April 27, 2016, 05:09:44 AM
Yeah, as someone said it really does depend. You can adjust your odds, and there is a house edge, but I am not sure if that effects the odds, and I dunno if there is a house edge on any site either. If you wanna play it safe than bet on safe odds, but remember that when your gambling nothing is really safe.

Every dice site has a house edge, that's how they make their money.

And yes it effects the odds. If there was no house edge you would get paid 2x on a 50% chance to win, because that is what is fair. If we flip a coin, it's fair for heads I give you 1 dollar, tails you give me 1 dollar. That is a fair game.

Casino games are not fair, they all translate into, flip a coin, if it lands on heads, you give me $1, if it lands on tails, I'll give you 95 cents (or something to that effect). That is the house edge.

Funny how you rarely read about people getting greens streaks instead of red, it's depressing reading only about losses  Tongue

Because the shitheads that post here think martingale is a good idea, so when they win 10 in a row and win 10 satoshis it's no big deal, but when they lose 10 in a row and lose 2047 it's the end of the world and the site is rigged.

At a bare minimum, he was stupid enough to fall for the GAW/Garza scam

I switched off at this point.

People who get burgled, robbed, scammed, defrauded, tricked, deceived....

...these are NOT stupid people - they are victims of people with ill intent.

I am glad you have never been robbed/burgled/victimised, you don't know how it feels.

This is likely the reason for your ignorance.

If you get mugged walking down the street, you are innocent. If you lose your money because you bought a deed to the brooklyn bridge from some guy in a bar, you are an idiot. People that lost money to GAW are much closer to the latter.

the difference between me and other people who have been robbed, and you and team xpy etc is that we have learned from our mistakes and tried to get better in the future.

i did not say that everyone who gets scammed is an idiot, I am saying that people that fell for THIS particular scam as hard as THESE particular people did AND spent another year on various projects to "fix" the coin that accomplished nothing are either idiots or in on the scam.

So you are saying ION / Ionomy is a scam? In your opinion or this is a fact?

You are entitled to come to your own conclusion of course but the premise that you should try to brainwash everyone else with your own opinion leaves me bewildered.

Concerned citizen? Or Self appointed Internet Police person trying to "save" people from their own stupidity?

As always, never invest in anything that doesn't feel safe or is outside of your comfort zone. Only invest what you can afford to lose - not a penny more. All crypto projects are EXTREMELY high risk. If in doubt, step back and wait a few months and review if need be, or just move on.

Self appointed internet police in the department to make sure every knows your and Matlack's reputations so they can make an informed decision.

OK, @boki15, I found  an article that says the motion for default judgment against GAW was granted:

http://www.helenabitcoinmining.com/2015/08/11/gaw-miners-lawsuit-ends-with-340k-default-judgement/

That's August 2015. Dead before or after that? I don't know. But looks like a defunct company.

If you think I'm trying to change the history, tell me where I've got it wrong.

@phildo I had not heard or read that Garza went to the same church as Matlack. I thought that Garza went to some megachurch in Connecticut? I started to research, but nothing yet.

You wrote, "The truth is somewhere in those details, but why find it?"

Do you really believe that the truth doesn't matter? I think it does. It's hard to sort out, but if the truth doesn't matter the we might as well all act like Garza.

The truth matters in some things, but this particular truth is not worth the hassle of finding.

i would not invest in a coin run by someone involved in the gaw/paycoin scam. I would not invest in a coin by someone who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in GAW when there were giant red flags as to how uch of a scam it was. Matlack is one or the other. The truth might matter for some, but not for me when it comes to investing in his next project, because whatever the truth is, the result is the same for me, stay away.

At a bare minimum, he was stupid enough to fall for the GAW/Garza scam. That leads me to question how he is smart enough to do many things, but running a crypto currency/company involved in crypto is near the top of the list of "last things I would trust Matalack to do."

Remember what the GAW scam entailed, people bought miners that very obviously didn't exist (hashlets), that did things that were very obviously impossible (boosts), then Garza ran out of coins/pocketed enough to end that version of the ponzi so they started mining completely fictional Hashpoints. Those were traded in for paycoins, which were "valued" at $4 per coin. That $4 came from "the miners that don't exist should have mined $4 dollars worth of BTC if they were paying out at the imaginary rate we made up from the fake altcoin mining pools, so instead of pretending to give you $4 worth of BTC I will give you 400 hashpoints that you can exchange for 1 xpy." Then to top that all off he promised to buy those xpy for $20 each.

That's actually what happened, so even if he was an innocent in the ordeal, he's dumb as a rock.

Now to other shit, did you know that Garza and Matalack were members of the same Texas megachurch before GAW miners started? Just an interesting tidbit to point out while figuring out whether or not his hands are clean.

Now, let's move on to after GAW "died." They split up into several different teams, all involving former employees and other people that have been scammed. I don't recall which one Matalack was part of, but either way, what did any of them accomplish? Again, none of this has made enough sense for me to even think of looking into the details, so I can't specifically tell you which team ripped people off explicitly, and which team just "failed," but the 2nd to last tweet from the paycoin foundation is about people buying xpybits (again, not sure what exactly they do,  since all the info is on a site that they shut down, but since that whole team has moved onto this project, I'm sure it didn't go well/as planned for the people that bought these xpybits.)

Also, the actual last tweet is warning of a phishing attempt (cool security.)

I am not going to waste my time reading though all the word salad that all these teams of people post every time their on a new project because it doesn't make sense at all, even on a basic level. The truth is somewhere in those details, but why find it? It's possible that they are 100% scumbags who were in on it from the beginning and continued to rob people for another year. It's possible that they are naive idiots who got robbed by Garza and then spent a year failing at trying to fix it. It's probably somewhere in the middle, but I have seen nothing to show that it's not somewhere in between there, or resembling anything near competence or a good investment.

Talk about a complete marketing failure. No, they don't have to show transparency. Also, people don't have to buy their coin. If they're above board, they lose very little in terms of man hours in exchange for a bunch of people feeling much more comfortable buying into this. They choose to be secretive for what reason? Because transparency is annoying? How much money do they think this ICO will make with such little information given to potential purchasers.

I don't think they're going to get a very good return on their time investment here.

It's like the spelling and grammar errors in the email from a Nigerian Prince. If you are smart enough to find them, you aren't dumb enough to lose your money. The people asking those questions aren't dumb enough to give their money to these clowns, so they will ignore them because there is nothing in it for them. The people that buy their "witch hunt" accusations are their marks, so they will play it up and reel them in.

I've never head of neucoin, i don't frequent this area because most of these coins seem useless to me, especially to "invest" in.

The reason there are so many posts here is because of the people involved.

We have the known idiot/scammers from GAW involved, so people following the GAW saga became aware, and then the people who have been saying that the GAW-people are idiots/scammers for years came over here to make sure any people who weren't aware of the GAW shenanigans were aware.

The reason the thread blew up is because one of the head cheerleaders of the GAW scam came along to dispute what were are saying and try to distract people with nonsense, and we are tired of his shit and won't let it stand.

It's one thing to lose money on some random altcoin pump and dump, but to do with known idiots/scammers like these is something special. Just want to make sure people are aware of who they are dealing with, and I refuse to let someone who i know only as a cheerleader for GAW to have the last word with horseshit that he was spewing here.

Call me a Shill call me what you want but look at this from a realistic perspective. Don't waste your time in mentioning I never post here but these rumors about ION are just downright ridiculous now. Read the following.

-The individual behind XPY was originally Josh Homero Garza...clearly.
-He lied to his investors and people lost a lot of money including myself.
-Investors in XPY tried to save the coin but it failed.
-The individuals behind ION were big investors in XPY but the real scammer there is Josh Garza, the others really just tried to save their own money and rescue something, and used as scapegoats for it's failure.

Now ask yourself this:

Do you really think somebody would use their same name, put hours and hours of work into another coin development project that (btw: has amazing potential) to do the same thing that XPY did to a lot of people in the crypto space ? If the people behind ION are as culpable of a scam as much as you deem them to be..these people would be in jail...no men with wife and or kids that don't hide their identity would fathom the idea and a lot of individuals here that claim scam..I understand the skepticism and XPY is forever tainted but these are real people with real jobs and families and aspirations that were all victims to XPY and they have gathered to hit an untapped market and incorporate it into crypto.

Some of you have way to much time on your hands. I myself am invested and im excited to see where it goes.

May the trolling begin Smiley





Why would they be in jail for the future scam while ganza still walks free for the other one.

Being deeply involved in gaw makes yih one of two things, an idiot or a scammer. Not going to debate who is what, just going to tell everyone to be careful dealing with them.
