HashFlare/HashCoins History & Legitimacy Research

[Goode]

Greetings,

I have started a small side project reviewing available information about HashFlare/HashCoins.

Right now, I have a single document that centralizes collected information regarding HashCoin and its sister companies. This is part of an investigation into past and current business practices, management, and hash capacity due to their general lack of transparency and communication.

Initial research document: https://github.com/JoshuaGoode/HashFlare-Research/blob/master/InitialResearch.md
Project page: https://github.com/JoshuaGoode/HashFlare-Research

Future goals of project:

• Piece together company history
• Review and report past and current controversies across HashCoins, HashFlare, and Polybius operations
• Document current withdraw issues (December 2017) supposedly due to block.io and analyze their cause. Review HashFlare's response and elicit one from block.io.
• Speculate required hash power to operate based on publicly shared contract data

Excellent project!  This will rattle a few cages.

You forgot to include Emercoin in your paper, they're pretty much the same guys too.
