Surprise surprise, he is a crafty little man always pulling a fast one. Roll on his prison term maybe he can pay back physically all the paper he has stole to a man named big ronny

It's not a scam, but a coin needs a couple things to succeed like publicity, trust, merchant integration and so on.
In case of paycoin the innitial publicity was good, thus we had an early pump, then the trust kept dropping due to some allegations like premine, no $20 support, problems with the name and almost no merchants accepting the coin. It's still possible for them to bring the price up but it would require some major stores to accept the coin, just as it was promised before the launch.

Allegations? Almost everything we have warned about has been revealed. Josh can instantly secure confidence in the community if he were to simply provide evidence to refute our allegations that he lied to all of you.

Paycoin2 was a stillbirth upon inception and will slowly become a penny stock up until the day the SEC moves in and lawsuits start being filed.

What is sad about this whole scam is that even if it wasn't intended to be a scam it was destined to fail because it is hyperinflationary with too small of a userbase and ultimately controlled by one company unlike bitcoin. Centralized digital currencies are nothing new and all eventually get attacked and shutdown by the government if they don't become co-opted(ripple labs will either be shutdown or co-opted in the future).
Digicash, liberty dollar, liberty reserve, egold, ect... all shutdown. A US government and banks aren't going to allow anybody else to take over the FED and control the "prime controllers" without a fight.

Liberty Dollar wasn't a scam.  The government is returning all the gold and silver.  As it turns out, they were wrong.

Actually I read about liberty dollars and was quite interesting. Some guy created his own currency and called it liberty dollars and backed it by silver and then the government came to shut him down expecting to find nothing but instead found a massive amount of silver, the same silver that was there to back the currency. Liberty Dollars mainly failed because the government could seize the liberty dollars and did so because it was competitive to their own currency and as in most governments, threatened by competition. I can't see how it is comparable, maybe the LibertyCoin guy went about it the wrong way? because it was all backed by real assets.

It looks like the "guy" made it "confusingly similar" to the US Dollar. I guess you can't have it both ways - market it as a "dollar" while calling for a "repeal" of the Federal Reserve and the IRS.

read a bit closer.... the government is returning only a small fraction of the gold and silver the stole. There was a hell of a lot more liberty dollar certificate owners than 265. Most people didn't jump through the legal hoops out of fears of being subpoenaed or losing their privacy,not filing in time,  or just not knowing what to do.

Same bullshit as other Asset seizure cases... most of the funds stolen are kept by them .

But yes, I agree with you the US government was "wrong" in stealing their gold and silver.

I am not sorry for bumping this topic up, but apparently bitcointalk have missed this news, important these days with all the ICO IPO crazyness.

[Karto]

its already delisted from bittrex, and volume is completely dead... why keep pumping this post? :/

[Acguy]

This coin is so ancient it has zero activity.

[Mi5h0]

I avoid PaycoinOrPaybase/XPY just the truth that there are so many people getting on the Garza Band wagon to be permitted to pull his D

Paycoin and everything else related to GAW Miners was a proven scam a long time ago.
Why bumping this old topic up?
