Are hashlets worth it?

[jimmothy]

This isn't a court, so hearsay is perfectly acceptable evidence. Keep in mind this is coming from the only bitcoin journal with integrity and the same people who brought the BFL/FTC fiasco to light.

I wouldn't call them that and prefer coindesk. I also don't follow gossip

So what your saying is that you prefer the group of "journalists" who are paid to write positive articles about any shady/scammy company, over the group of journalists who don't accept bribes and have integrity?

Coindesk is a joke. To call it a journal is a stretch, it's more like a massive collection of paid advertisements. (PS: 99% of GAW's articles are paid for)

You're basically admitting it again. You are admitting that without divine intervention from the all mighty CEO there is no chance of turning a profit.
All you need is to hope/prey/sacrifice and maybe you're god will grant you ROI.

More sarcasm please.
The payouts dropped without his intervention so its not needed for them to go back to that point again.

But why did the magical zenpool all of the sudden become way less profitable? Don't you find that convenient how it happens to coincide with the launch of hashpoints/hashcoin?

You must be mistaken, there are much more scams than legit companies. I see a new cloudmining scam pop up weekly yet I only know of something like a dozen legit operations. There are more cloudmining ponzis that have already collapsed than there are legit companies.

You can find over 30 functioning cloud mining sites at the moment.
In your view almost all of them are scams? That's extremely skeptical.

Yes that's exactly my view. Most of the scams are not very successful but some do take off.

Haha that's bullshit IMO. They owned a registered, legit business and never run anywhere. I think they sold the company, but I might be wrong.
Anyway, if somebody had a proof, they'd have simply made them return the check, start a case in court and so on.
Btw. $40k?

So what you're saying is that that story is fabricated by multiple people living in that little town? Seems a bit of a stretch.

Here's what some more people think about this "legit business" http://www.topix.com/forum/city/canaan-vt/THJFBNV4MIFIR075C

They recently paid over 1 million for a domain and probably twice that for their Bitmain order.

Just like how they totally bought a pool nobody has ever heard of for $8 million?

I have no doubt the Bitmain order is real but taking his word for anything/everything is simply foolish.

Oh, and you haven't answered this:
Have you ever tried their services? Did you skip that question because you haven't?

Yes I have a free 10 gh/s. I have to admit the website design is very slick and to be honest I'd recommend it to my noob friends if it didn't look like a scam and wasn't full of arbitrary games.

One last thing, I noticed that only around a week after launch GAW had amassed 250 gh/s. Interesting enough there was no 250 gh/s increase on the litecoin network.

I've heard estimates that they have 500 gh/s by now, how is that possible when they aren't even visible on the blockchain? https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools

How can you hide half the litecoin network?

You showed a google search link with ~60 links. 10 of them are about GAW Miners, the rest about some other unrelated things with the word GAW.
Point?  

You said 99% of articles about GAW miners were paid ones.

Proof?  

[Feneusens]

Hashlet is no longer worth it. There are far better, cheaper and maintenance free cloud mining.

Just note that there are several other big sites with their reviews, like cryptocoinsnews.com, but they must be accepting bribes too
Conspiracy theories FTW!

But why did the magical zenpool all of the sudden become way less profitable? Don't you find that convenient how it happens to coincide with the launch of hashpoints/hashcoin?

You ask me and I ask you, we are in the same boat here, but I wouldn't connect it with hashcoin, rather with that 30% bitcoin plunge.
Anyway, it doesn't show they aren't mining. Other pools and services also noticed a decrease in payouts, check opinions about ghash and genesis.

Yes that's exactly my view. Most of the scams are not very successful but some do take off.

I'm not that pessimistic, but this helps me understand why you're attacking cloud minig so much.

Usually, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Just like how they totally bought a pool nobody has ever heard of for $8 million?
I have no doubt the Bitmain order is real but taking his word for anything/everything is simply foolish.

When the buyer and the seller both confirm the transaction I believe it. Why not?
If BitcoinWallet.com was sold for $250k, there's no reason to believe btc.com didn't cost much more.
Anyway, we have proof they own the domain and the money to buy it.
Believe or not, I saw one of their addresses with a couple thousand BTC.

Yes I have a free 10 gh/s. I have to admit the website design is very slick and to be honest I'd recommend it to my noob friends if it didn't look like a scam and wasn't full of arbitrary games.

Did you count the miners they had in their warehouse back then? I saw over 300 units, mostly ~40MH Zeus rigs.
I don't think they were mining LTC exclusively. Probably went after other coins too.

Sorry, I assumed you were capable of using your brain to determine which links were completely unrelated to the GAW we are talking about, but I guess I was wrong.

If you don't understand context and exaggeration, I'm not sure there's any point discussing further with you.

The point which you're obviously ignoring is that just about every major press released is written by GAW, supplied with info by GAW, and paid to have spammed across the internet by GAW.

It's a huge red flag but I'm sure that means absolutely nothing to you.

Are you really going to suggest this guy has no incentive to write about GAW? They look pretty intimate to me.



Anyways my point is that GAW uses prweb period, so they are certainly willing to pay people to write/publish positive articles about themselves.

But why did the magical zenpool all of the sudden become way less profitable? Don't you find that convenient how it happens to coincide with the launch of hashpoints/hashcoin?

You ask me and I ask you, we are in the same boat here, but I wouldn't connect it with hashcoin, rather with that 30% bitcoin plunge.
Anyway, it doesn't show they aren't mining. Other pools and services also noticed a decrease in payouts, check opinions about ghash and genesis.

(Disclaimer: conspiracy theory)

The way I see it is that they decreased the payout of zenpool only so that it made sense for everyone to switch over to mining hashpoints.

If you were trying to make money by any means/scheme possible would you rather payout in btc (which costs you money), or payout in hashpoints (which you can print an unlimited amount of for free)?

So what you're saying is that that story is fabricated by multiple people living in that little town? Seems a bit of a stretch.

Usually, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

How else could you explain those people exchanging emails for months, wondering when GAW would finish their project only to find out 6 months later that GAW hasn't even obtained the permits to begin the project?

Just like how they totally bought a pool nobody has ever heard of for $8 million?

Believe or not, I saw one of their addresses with a couple thousand BTC.

I'm not talking about BTC.com. Buying that for $1m is within the realm of possibility because it is a premium domain and the sale itself is an advertisement.

However buying a pool nobody uses for $8 million is just absurd. I'd love to know what makes a litecoin pool worth that much.

I'm sure it has to do with whatever makes them magically payout more than you would get converting mined ltc to btc.

Yes I have a free 10 gh/s. I have to admit the website design is very slick and to be honest I'd recommend it to my noob friends if it didn't look like a scam and wasn't full of arbitrary games.
One last thing, I noticed that only around a week after launch GAW had amassed 250 gh/s. Interesting enough there was no 250 gh/s increase on the litecoin network.

300 x 40 mh/s = 12 GH/s. GAW's hashrate is claimed to be somewhere between 500-1000 GH/s. How you can hide that much hashrate on the litecoin network is beyond me.

Do you understand now why I and many others demand proof of mining via a mining address instead of pics?

Here's why I'm led to believe GAW is claiming to have at least 1000 GH/s: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=720844.msg9516019#msg9516019

You can argue about semantics all you want (although I won't), it won't hide the fact that GAW is willing to pay to have positive articles published about themselves.

Pathetic!
