I'm a newb too but not a newb to coins in general. Sounds like 2nd poster is like that too. My old account had issues and so I decided to start fresh. I've mined coins like dogecoin and vericoin a while ago. Don't let the tag of a new account fool you into to knowledge of the account holder. Not all newbs are 15yrs boys on their fist outing into the forum. I happen to be in my 30's and a female. As for hashlets I think the 2nd poster is right. GAW hasn't pushed hardware sales and even dropped the special one miner thing since Hashlets. Wonder why?
well - I'm certainly not going to fault them - business exist primarily for one reason and that's to make a profit - the sooner most people realize this the better of they are when making informed decisions.
if you come up with a business model that works that's great.
the real question is this - assuming that Hashlets actually do exist...are they really mining computer at all?
or is the money being invested actually being invested invested elsewhere under the guise of mining to generate returns or perhaps more insidious - taking the hashlet purchases money to produce 'daily returns'. I suppose the people who mine on the pool that Zenminer offers could shed a little light as to whether or not they've seen the effect of haslets.
is there collusion on the part of Gaw and the 'selected pool' to keep the real truth hidden - has anyone who mines on these forum actually seen any dramatic increases in network hash rates over the past few months since 'hashlets' were born. As a pool operator that offers over 20 different coins - I can tell you from what I've seen there have not been any dramatic increases on the smaller coins..
the only dramatic increases I've seen are on dogecoin (I don't follow LTC so I can't comment on that).
I have approached GAW on several occasions regarding offering the coins in my pools as options to Zenminer/Hashlet customers and have never gotten a reply. It's of particular interest to me since I have a War Machine there that I would like to see pointed at some of the coins I offer in my pools because I know I could make more money - I have have it delivered to me but I currently have no room for it at home.
and please do not misconstrue any of my questions as accusations, they are merely questions.
