people go on insisting that GAW is an elaborate scam. Could be, but I don't think so.
that doesn't mean it's not a botched up business plan in the process of failing though...

Don't get too carried away. He only removed the downvote button. Nothing was said about shadow bans (not mentioned in the WSJ blog either) and regular bans. This is a nice gesture but it won't magically make Hashtalk welcoming to critical thinking.
They are removed for only that topic not for the whole hashtalk, I just asking you to state your opinions under that topic. If they ban you, that will show how they are keeping their promises right. Whatsoever, maybe that's just a time lost for you and you are right. Time for me to return back my job.

No, the downvote button is removed everywhere, not just that one thread. I doubt anything else has changed but if someone wants to prove it by asking the CEO if he has had 35 PH/s of SHA256 for the last two months - please go ahead.

I hope that company lives couple more months so I can double my investment, already make a ROI so not my problem if they close it as well After that time, I really do not care and yes, I also feel sorry for that 15 years old boy, but this not my problem this is his/her family problem. I am moving on and of course I won't ask any question related to real hash power (I never asked that question to Hashie, Chabatmining, Ltcgear, Cointellect and Hashprofit as well so why I am going to ask that to Josh right now. I don't care, maybe he is doing fractional mining. Up until he pays no problem for me) Thanks for chit chat and valuable advice , I own you, In January will be in Oregon probably start my own mining farm from garage (I don't trust anybody, have to see miners). Take care yourself

So the article was picked apart already, not much to criticize there anymore. Let me reflect on the positive side.
It looks like GAW is concerned about criticism enough so that they made a somewhat half-assed attempt to "prove" themselves. I still don't understand why they needed to throw out an obviously bogus 28k BTC claim and how exactly WSJ verified that "flow", it would have been so much more believable with 5-10k BTC. So this shows a couple of things: 1) slightly less arrogance and slightly more listening; 2) this is a far as it goes and certain lines probably won't ever be crossed - e.g. publicly displaying those addresses and/or proving mining back to August. I think overall this is positive, as it establishes more clearly where GAW stands in the debate.
Let's also not forget that all this will fade into the background as "staking" becomes their main business. That thing has more red flags than a PLA parade and is even less comprehensible to any "media outlet".

It appears that coinfire is (or is attempting to be) actual journalists.
Them standing up for themselves will be a lesson for GAW and everyone else in the Streisand Effect

Excellent reply and more detailed than required. Needless to say, that attorney, who is the same guy that contact me, will not be on my Christmas card list this year. Scott-

...but I am sure @KC6TTR will help us to find out. I also wanna learn the truth and asking those firm to sue him immediately, if any of those claims are not real
Also will sue that 3rd party, if they are writing lies about that company as well.
Bring it on. Scott-

Good the picture is on record so no denying it wasnt received. Maybe josh's spam filter caught the original emails . Can coinfire counter sue on bully tactics ? Would be great to get coinfire to fund a transparent investigation with donations to get the truth. Would boost their journalism exposure too. heck id donate!

They are already gaining much on that hack FUD. Right after it happened they sent someone to sperad the word on reddit that "GAW hacked Coinfire". Now whatever they write will be welcomed with open arms by the anti corporate community.
