It's from the future Winter is coming. Compared to the juvenile scribblings that the Paycoin/Paybase/Paysave/Paywash/Paywax/Payburgerz/Paybulllshit/PayJoshGarza/Payfail/Payscam folks have been posting this looks incredibly legit. I would say that whoever photoshopped this beaut is over-qualified for employment with the scammers at GAW, it would make the rest of the operation look like exactly what it is- a bunch of clowns.

I don't know about him, but I personally feel a hell of a lot better about holding the Bitcoin that I have compared to the morons who are watching their life savings disappear by holding Paycoin at the behest of the guy who is ripping them off.

There's no agenda other than to prevent a scam here. Paycoin2 is not and never will be a threat to BTC. Hell, it's not even a threat to dogecoin.

Paycoin2 isn't even a threat to the market share of the real Paycoin.... Edit to just give this post of pure GAWsomeness a bump: In tribute of our video chat stars and falling XPY value...

I hate to admit it but this has gone badly, I was one of the few lucky ones who did snap up the $20.06 on offer through pay base, however I was stupid enough to reinvest. I am closing out the position and will still get an average price of $15. However I am now seeing this for what it is and that is just another alt coin, everything you can do in Pay Base once on line I can already do in one format or another here in Australia with BTC.
As for the hash stakers all of mine were converted hashlets as there was no point in keeping an investment that was never going to win, the premier account doesn't do anything for me as I am in Australia and most of the features will be US based, as Josh is trying to ensure everything he does is within the law only US citizens will be able to get a debit card.
Hashstakers are already a dead investment, if you bought a staker you have no chance of a ROI at $9.00 per coin. The converted ones will only miss the opportunity to sell their coins as the market is dying.
With only 1.4 million dollars in trade yesterday Josh should of been able to keep a $20 floor in place but chose not to, in fact had of Josh put and kept a $20 floor in place the markets would now be trading at around the same level.
So I now find myself asking what has happened to the supposed 100 million fiat, and the 10 million in BTC mined (as stated in the WJS article), the 10 million in BTC alone should have held a floor price.
I have been a semi supporter of GAW but now find the lies are to far fetched for me, I actually think LTC gear has more chance of paying me this week then I have in seeing the $20 floor price again.
So I must say I now think that most people here are right and I was probably wrong.
I'm in agreement here. The floor problem bothers me the most.

Oh, and the real XPY floor does not actually have a cool slide like that. You just plummet down and go splat.

How do you handle the idea of being stuck with them for 3-6 months when the value of paycoin2 is so low you can't possibly make a profit on it? Do you see any hope at this point?

This Paycoin has been pronounced dead more often than Dick Fucking Cheney
and still it lives.
So paycoin is a success, by your standards? I have no idea, to be honest. Well, to be fair, nobody is pronouncing paycoin "dead." Just doomed. And scammy. But some scams can last a long time before they implode. Not this one, though, at least not the way it's looking right now. Josh seems to have screwed it up royally. Well, I only check this thread out because I was in GAW but left in October when their previously lucrative mining suddenly turned to manure. But I got out OK. Can´t really complain. you got so lucky then like you said all went to shit afterwards sadly

Bright group those hashtalkers... def mensa... The wise "investors" at HT have finally figured out how to diversify it seems. Put 99% on 1,000:1 and the other 30% on 100:1. Never mind that the math doesn't add up, they are diversifying dammit!

This was posted on Amazons forum Paybase - is it legit By kns2c, 2 days ago Permalink Report abuse I'm trying to figure out if this site offering 10% off amazon purchases is legit.

For example this part is very worrying and I can't see how Amazon would tolerate it: "Where will my order come from? We fulfill your order from the lowest cost vendor or retailer.

Warning - the following is my theory only: I think they never had any serious profits, either due to mismanagement or some other issues. Especially since mid-October they have been reluctant to spend ANY real money on anything. E.g. they claimed $50 million marketing budget, $100 million floor, "teams" and "companies" working on the coin and paybase etc, while the actual results show the opposite. Cheap coin clone, some ads on obscure "news" sites, barely functional Paybase and of course no floor now. They seemed to be trying to pump the coin on hype alone, and perhaps they put a few hundred BTCs on Paybase for 5 minutes at launch. I doubt they blew 100k or 500k or whatever on Cryptsy, those spikes could have been someone else's arbitrage bots fooled into buying.
There is obviously no way to prove this, but there are just so many red flags pointing in that direction that it would be one hell of a coincidence. Like the refusal to sell any of their own products for XPY.
Ok... but to what end?
