I don't mean to come off as uninformed or stupid & I just cannot be bothered reading tons of info spread around all over the place. But could somebody kindly explain to me, in a nutshell, what exactly is the deal with the hashlets or whatever they are called?  I remember reading about Hashlets in an email from GAW months ago, but I thought it sounded too good to be true & passed. Then while checking their site later for actual hardware, I just saw the hardware replaced by different versions of these virtual miners with different names. HashStakers, Hashlets, etc.. What I want to know is the evolution of these & what that all was? I saw people were buying them, selling them for a profit but only the early buyers etc.. Can somebody give me the TLDR version explaining what the heck that was all about?

Also, what the hell is a prime controller exactly & why do people at HT covet them so much? I mean, people post in HT saying they have a Prime Controller & the GAW faitful are all like  "Ooooh, Ahhhh" or simply don't believe the poster about having one because they are expensive or something?

To be honest, once they stopped selling actual hardware, I lost interest in GAW & figured they would go away. I can't believe they made a coin & things have gotten to the point they have.

Thanks.
