Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Mineral is the next big scam by Homero Josh Garza, designed to steal peoples bitcoins and dollars. Let's collect ideas how to warn everyone about it, especially people who are new to cryptocurrency. Let's communicate in the most effective way the fraudulent history of GAW/Paycoin/Coinstand and put Mineral into the right context.

Mineraltalk seems to be exactly the same as Hashtalk, if Josh really wants to show that it is in fact different then he should make suchmoon a mod there Yep, me and BITCOIN-BAR, dream team of moderators But it's moot now because the new site is down. Another beautifully executed GAW project. Edit: and by executed I mean executed. Dammit, i need my daily dose of Homero 'ebabling' The site briefly came up, BITCOIN-BAR had 0 rep, so they tried to hit "reset" I guess Error 502 again now. This is one of the most exiting train wrecks in GAW history and that's saying something.

Josh, you know your scam is up when a Scientology proponent starts to question your bullshit: Honestly, no s*** talking... its sounds like your dumping XPY. We still have not seen a GAW related feature or implementation for XPY. The only real deal we have seen is Soon TM and "next week" we are waiting on PayFlash, and the debit card....any news on the GAW projects? Clearly Homero feels he has already done more than enough for Paycoin and anything else he does for 'them' beyond this point is really him just doing everyone a favour. Must have made all the munnies he is going to with the three-letter agencies closing in and now needs an exit strategy. Paybase VS Mineral I had a number of people ask me:
If mineral is focused on all coin, then doesn't that make Paycoin like all other coins?
Let me try to answer.
Yes and No
First, it's important that Paycoin start to "join" the rest of the crypto community. The amount of hate and fighting has gotten out of control. When people are thinking about getting into crypto, and they see stuff like that, they do not care who is right or wrong. They just see weird fighting and move on.
I for one, do not want to contribute to that, or have Paycoin be a part of that.
So one reason I like mineral is because they are working to unite coins in general.
Second, Paycoin will have a lot of advantages.
I am sure it's not secret that I (personally) am helping all kinds of companies that are supporting XPY (about two dozen now). And Paycoin is dear to my heart. I do not always need to be the front person; sometimes I am just helping with resources.
So anything I am involved in will always be Paycoin focused. For example, with Mineral, Paycoin will get all the features first and have a completely different fee structure (if at all). Or CoinStand continues to offer bonuses to XPY holders. Many services will require the exclusive use of XPY, like Payflash or the new Paycoin bill pay system.
We can not win this by being a silo on our own. But if we work with the industry and just simply make Paycoin better, $20 is not that far away.
So nothing has changed. We are just trying to think outside of ourselves.
Finally, the biggest change you will see from the stuff I am part of is putting paycoin to work. We can talk about it all day, and features are great. But what will really bring it "the moon" is to just make useful.
Using coinstand, imagine if anyone could sell anything they want to each other from anywhere in the world? All with the same currency? Or browing against your XPY like BTCLend is doing? The new PAYTM that is launching? Or the new Paycoin POS pilot programs
There is a lot going on for Paycoin

You did a nice SEO statement there I'll work it into the title and this thread should be fairly high in Google results. And I'm sure there is going to be plenty of people tweeting and redditing and whatever else cool kids do these days. The nice thing is that Mr. Garza is unable to stay out of spotlight so he will bumble and fumble himself into infamy much more efficiently than anything anyone else could do.

Mineral is the fastest growing Bitcoin exchange on the planet. ORLY? What metric are you employing to make that particular claim? Your 'open orders' list suggests otherwise. Mineral customer coins are insured and stored on offline servers that are never connected to the Internet.
ORLY? Prove it. Because once a bunch of lying scamming, fraudsters, always a bunch of lying, scamming, fraudsters.

No he just ignored the question. Just like coinstand.

Yeah, your coins on Mineral will be so secure, you can never get them out again! Another GAWsome feature™ by Josh Homero Garza.

There is a Mineral subreddit, set to private mode. Did Homero register it for his shills?

So where does that leave btc.com? HT folks were expecting it to be the next big thing and apparently it's not. Should we assume Mr.Garza defaulted on payments?

I see the scam has entered a new phase, this shitbag seems to have an endless appetite for scamming. I support any attempt to educate newcomers with the goal of helping to minimize the number of victims in this phase of the scam and the toxic impact that it has on cryptocurrency. This thread on /r/bitcoin is a good start, it is currently the top thread on /r/bitcoin so it's very visible, it's very to the point and gets the message across clearly.

Oh don't worry, that's me! I registered it this morning. Making sure Homero doesn't have a place on reddit to spew his garbage. I'll be making it public shortly.

Just goes to show how desperate Homero is and how long (24 hours) it took him to think up this mineral crap to go live.
He didn't even bother to claim those reddit's, must be losing his scamming touch.
