Reserved for TL;DR; of responses.

A short muggle starting with the online handle josg21 to, allegedly, ■■■■■ about boob jobs (plastic surgeons) and poor service Mr Homero Garza has since changed to the handle GAWCEO. A while later after tainting the handle GAWCEO a change was made to MrCEO and minerorigin which exist in parallel. In order to, allegedly, attempt confusion over his real name Homero Joshua Garza uses his middle name and mixes up aliases so he is commonly known as Josh Garza or Joshua Garza. On several patents held with Mr. Stuart Fraser Vice Chairman of Cantor Fitzgerald, Garza uses H. Joshua Garza as opposed to H. Josh Garza. Various internet Trolls and FUDsters refer to him as Homero Garza or Homero Josh Garza or just Mr. Scam Muggle. Mr Garza, allegedly, started his entrepreneurship with Optima Computers LLC in Brattleborough Vermont (VT) where he then branched out into the, alleged, oversubscription of Broadband service with his company Great Awk Wireless also called GAW High Speed Internet and shortened to GAW HSI. Having claimed to make millions with this service or sale of the company or something, Mr Garza then went on to the cryptocurrency industry where he, allegedly, applied the same oversubscription techniques to ASIC Mining with his platforms ZenMiner and ZenCloud selling virtual products called the Hashlet and Hashtaker. Sometimes referred to as CashLets, CashTakers and Ponsi's. Through the purported success of said platforms under a conglomerate of companies called Geniuses at Work or GAW for short Mr Garza, allegedly, moved on from GAW Miners LLC to a new company which should have provided a clean slate. Business Technology for Cryptocurrency LLC or BTC LLC for short which matches the domain name BTC.com puportedly purchased for 1.1 Million USD, was born. This company launched several platforms such as PayBase at Paybase.com and paycoin known as XPY. The PayBase platform allegedly destroyed the products PayFlash (gyft) PaySave (zincsave) as well as others. The Paycoin "Currency" allegedly destroyed the concepts of HybridFlex, FundSafe, Huh. After much public scrutiny Mr Homero Joshua Garza married to Jessica Garza then set out to not own the platforms Coinstand at coinstand.com (which used an, allegedly, embezzled codebase called zincsave to purchase from Amazon violating the ToS) and mineral at mineral.com (which used an, allegedly, embezzled codebase called coin-swap). These new ventures were purportedly related to Hong-Kong, hong kong, while rumor persists of Dubai being the real location.

There once was a muggle from nantucket who wanted to go to the World Cup 2014, he was flying on Malaysian Airlines and researching Robin Williams on his iPhone 6. at one point during the trip he played Flappy Bird. The traveler did not know what رمضان‎ or رامز قرش البحر‎ meant though he knew they were important.

I'm pretty sure it's against google ads' terms to display their ads on websites without TOS/Privacy information. Time to report?

[jdebunt]

When I heard about the launch of the new Hashtalk (got an email), I knew this was coming sooner or later....Not that I'm blaming anyone though, too many questions are left unanswered atm.

"I knew this was coming sooner or later"

Knew what was coming?

You will note that I am also not blaming anyone.  I simply collected public information and gathered it in a central location.   Even the warning regarding personal information is based on industry warnings and best practices not blame.

The truth coming out (hopefully), in one way or another

That would be quite interesting, seeing as GAW and Garza keep breaking laws. I just can't believe their negligence, they're so dumb, they even overlook simple things like this.

[crazyivan]

Anything even remotely connected to Josh Garza is NO WAY for me.

I m fed up with his lies.

There's really nothing you can do about it, except for filing reports at various government departments.
Many people lost a large amount of money. You're not the only one.

At first I thought hashtalk.org is under ddos and hackers put up a fake site hashtalk.ch to collect usernames and passwords, but now it looks like it's the same Ganza gang, they confirmed it's them under control.

[mmsen]

GAW is a scam organisation, I think that much has been proven several times by now.

Hashtalk was the marketing wing of the whole Paycoin fiasco - you would get banned for pointing out the obvious flaws in their plans. I hear they're a lot more lenient now that they have fewer people working there.

Since almost all accusations turned out to be true and public I guess it became a bit overstretch to ban people for mentioning things that are public knowledge by now. They have no shame to start new scams like mineral after such a fiasco/theft/scam.

I missed the whole 'mineral' release (I'd been banned too many times by then).

What was it supposed to be?

Some kind of a shitty non functioning exchange with close to zero trading volume. And the forum was supposed to replace hashtalk as I understood, but this no longer seems to be the case though..
