Um, you cannot be entered in a contest you are moderating... If you wanted to be a contestant you needed to find someone else to handle it. You need to pick another person or else the contest would be very unfair. It doesn't state in the rules that I can not. If you see it stated somwhere written apart from your own mind suggestion, please link to it. You should know better to enter yourself as a participant in a contest that you are running. Just give it to the next in line. The whole contest was a sham anyways because the owner disappeared and gave absolutely no indication they were coming back. I changed my sig a few days ago after waiting for a very long time to see if the owner would come back. You should hold the contest over. If I knew the coin was still alive I would have kept my sig. oh but according to him no one is next in line, only him which is shit because I had 63 posts at the time of the contest several in this thread and 365, blackcoin, octocoin, amongst others. It doesn;t matter he has already decided he is going to get something from gpuc one way or the other even if it furthur damages the coin. that's the nail in the coffin for me i'm done with this waste of time coin and bullshit rigged contest where the only eligible winner is bob barker.

So is the owner now saying that he lied to us about being able to get wholesale GPUs?
I think he is just scamming. Either way he is lying.
He never could get them wholesale the first time around, and I warned him about that, and I told everyone else the same. Nobody that he could deal with was going to give him a super sharp deal, especially when the large volume distributors get first dibs to the monthly shipments from asia. I think it curious that he has stock remaining, a good amount actually, and makes it seem like he can't liquidate. He can definitely liquidate and be out less. Unless he already liquidated and just didn't say anything. Seems like he can put this as business #3 that he ruined.

Hello Everyone, I would like the communities input on what to do with the websites. Unfortunately I setup the api/escrow system on a dedicated server which I decided to cancel due to the high monthly expense. The rest of the sites I can keep running as long as needed. I set the inventory on all items in the store to zero so we have some time as things are currently. The only thing I don't control is the domain gpucoin.net. I assume if the community wants Jaymes would transfer it to us.

why were there so many sites? as a fellow site builder, the general idea of a site is to have everything under one roof so you can keep things simple for users. seems like a waste of money keeping up with that many domain names also. i personally would like to see everything under www.gpucoin.net one site, one design. my guess was to get a seo bump, but that's not all that effective when trying to develop something to use, its more of a practice of selling those get rich ebooks nobody is dumb enough to buy.

I understand that I changed my sig (because i thought GPUCoin was abandoned by the owner, which is completely reasonable) so I am not qualified. But to put yourself in as a contestant into contest that you moderate and control is a serious conflict of interest. It is basically common sense that this is unnacceptable. If I had known from the beginning I would have protested but I don't recall seeing the moderator of the contest declare himself a contestant. For example if the moderator of a contest is keeping track of the number of posts, and knows only four people are eligible, he can easily just start posting a bunch in the last few days. It allows for cheating.

It's simple, coin "IPO" means scam. And the person who ran the business was incompetent. Also please stop signing your user name at the end of your posts. We all can read your username just fine, it has been driving me nuts for months. It's inane to sign your username on every post as if your username is not present some where else in the forum.

I just realized I made and error and there were 2x r9 270 and 3 x r7 240 allocated. So as obviusly there are onl 4 qualifying guys, one r7 240 will not be allocated to anyone, and yes, you are correct, you should get r9 270 as me. I emailed Jaymes about this but I doubt I will get any reply from him so just let's hope he has still not sent anything and you get the right. If you get the r7 240 tough, please PM me and if I recieve my r9 270 I am ready to provide it to you, either it or the money from it after I sell it. That would be fair compensation as this is my fault.

why were there so many sites?
When I started I didn't have any control over / plans for gpucoin.net so that is basically a standalone site. gpucoinstore.com/gpucoinmarket.com are the same site gpucoinescrow.com : I wanted to be a standalone site (anyone can use it) but its build on the backend of gpucoinstore gpucoinapi.com : This was setup on a standalone server for security reasons. Nothing to do with seo...I think splitting traffic among multiple domains is actually worse for rankings.

You are causing controversy and bad press for doings something so low as entering yourself in a contest that you are moderator, and then declaring yourself the winner. I don't care if technically you are the winner, you never should have been allowed in the contest. You cannot just enter yourself in a contest that you are running. What did you think would happen when people see you declaring yourself the winner? Stop being so greedy. I have nothing vested in this contest because I removed my sig after estimating the likelihood of the contest actually paying out to be extremely low. I will not gain or lose from you being winner or someone else being a winner. I just think it is very unfair and never should have been allowed.

So are there any ideas here for how to revive the coin or we should declare it dead?
If anything can be done I believe someone must buy all the coins from Jaymes he currently has, as well as possibly access to all the websites/services related to the coin and start a the business from a clear begining.
Or at least voting for turning the coin into POS. I do not understand that much the tech side but I think POS is fork-resistant. And with this low difficulty if it stays POW it might get multiforked very soon as vesperwillow warned.

It's simple, coin "IPO" means scam. And the person who ran the business was incompetent. Also please stop signing your user name at the end of your posts. We all can read your username just fine, it has been driving me nuts for months. It's inane to sign your username on every post as if your username is not present some where else in the forum. Let's break this down, you know, just for fun. "It's simple, coin "IPO" means scam." Opinion. And, like assholes, everybody has one, some two or more. "And the person who ran the business was incompetent. " Refer to the previous line. "Also please stop signing your user name at the end of your posts. We all can read your username just fine, it has been driving me nuts for months. It's inane to sign your username on every post as if your username is not present some where else in the forum." Observation with unique information. Thank you, that's what this forum is truly for. You know, I've actually been wondering if I should continue signing my posts. Now, I have feedback to make an informed choice! waltsmith Not opinion, truth. He lied to everyone about wholesale prices, and jumped ship with "IPO" funds. You can think whatever you want but you also need to stop being an apologist for this bullshit just because you are the "PR rep" for monopoly money.

generally when i see "IPO" i say to myself, no go. but in the right hands and for the right reasons i say it can be helpful. take the model of this coin. the ipo was to help get the business off the ground. I liked that idea since it was sort of like a kickstarter for something tangible. outside of that model, you do need the right path to get to succeed. will it always work out even when making the best calls on what to do, no, but an IPO based on a model like this is about the one thing worth investing in. I'm an IPO holder for gpuc, still have the majority of my coins. only sold 20 so far and that was when https://www.europex.eu/#!coin/btc/gpuc opened and i got 0.00000290 per coin These other coins out there that have IPO just as a "you'll get this many coins". no, i'd rather throw that money into hash power from nicehash.com at least then i'm helping the network and providing miners with some jobs. these are just my thoughts on IPO. i dont remember BC or LC asking for IPO when they dropped, so why should someone without a valid reason ask for it.

My advice. Have Jaymes destroy all his coin holdings. That would get rid a lot of excess coins. Have new leadership take over the website. Work on a business model before jumping into buying or doing anything. Be transparent about the whole idea. If your gonna buy a dead/failed company only pay $1 for it, like they do in the world mostly for show.
Get rid of dumb contests, that just hemorrhage money. Do coin giveaways as incentive, not your stock. Sell your stock in btc and gpuc, make the price less for gpuc, give them a reason to use gpuc, but don't let them not use btc as well. Run it like a business looking for any and every area that could be profitable.
I have no vested interest, as i sold a while back.
These are my ideas.
Good Luck

Um, you cannot be entered in a contest you are moderating... If you wanted to be a contestant you needed to find someone else to handle it. You need to pick another person or else the contest would be very unfair. It doesn't state in the rules that I can not. If you see it stated somwhere written apart from your own mind suggestion, please link to it. You should know better to enter yourself as a participant in a contest that you are running. Just give it to the next in line. The whole contest was a sham anyways because the owner disappeared and gave absolutely no indication they were coming back. I changed my sig a few days ago after waiting for a very long time to see if the owner would come back. You should hold the contest over. If I knew the coin was still alive I would have kept my sig. Right now one of the main problems is as moderator of the contest, pastet98 was the one adding up people' post counts and keeping track of things. This puts him in a position where he has insider access to information related to the contest. I understand that I changed my sig (because i thought GPUCoin was abandoned by the owner, which is completely reasonable) so I am not qualified. But to put yourself in as a contestant into contest that you moderate and control is a serious conflict of interest. It is basically common sense that this is unnacceptable. If I had known from the beginning I would have protested but I don't recall seeing the moderator of the contest declare himself a contestant. For example if the moderator of a contest is keeping track of the number of posts, and knows only four people are eligible, he can easily just start posting a bunch in the last few days. It allows for cheating. Insider information... You are not stopping to amaze me really. The "insider information" can be seen by anyone who check the profiles on the contestents on Bitcointalk and track their posts between the first one and the end of the contest. You see me not as a declaring contestant... Then look better. As OP states that in order to register to the contest only one requirement is post in the contest thread which I have obviusly done. Still can not understant what allows for cheating and what "insider" information I have. But anyway. I am not going more to discuss this with you as I can not stand anymore your wining style you have shown in sround ten pages of this thread as I do not have neither the time and the nerves to loose with silly conversations with you. Seems you neither succeed to understand that Jaymes is not owing you anything after he gave you your IPO coins, I doubt you will understand the contest problem as well. Um, you cannot be entered in a contest you are moderating... If you wanted to be a contestant you needed to find someone else to handle it.

If I knew the coin was still alive I would have kept my sig. oh but according to him no one is next in line, only him which is shit because I had 63 posts at the time of the contest several in this thread and 365, blackcoin, octocoin, amongst others. It doesn;t matter he has already decided he is going to get something from gpuc one way or the other even if it furthur damages the coin. that's the nail in the coffin for me i'm done with this waste of time coin and bullshit rigged contest where the only eligible winner is bob barker. Your post was in less than 5 sections. Section is not same as thread. P.S. Thanks to BaiMangal for his nice vouch: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=550206.msg6492508#msg6492508After all this I consider this topic closed as everything is much more than clear. I also am sure that this contest is the last problem of GPUcoin now and all discussions and efforts muct be put in the right direction regarding this, if there are any volunteers to revive the coin. please dude the only thing clear is that you are a fucking scammer that never should be allowed involved with a coin's "team" if your willing to pull all this shit for a shitty graphics card it's hard to imagine what you would do with actual money involved. like i said before keep it, but calling all of us liars and saying we are disqualified is horseshit. anybody can check my history and plainly see your a liar so....i hope it was worth it.
