Or come ask around the Zcash community about us:

And you created that Zcash forum account when?

So are you saying that a good-looking website is not a scam? Or that a bad-looking website must be a scam? Or what exactly?

I'm making an observation which neither concerns how bad a website looks, nor how good. I explained that the term you use to describe your website might mean something entirely benign to you, mining in a 'pond' being compared to fishing, but it also could refer to suckering people in to capitalise on the zcash interest. It is an extremely careless use of language in relation to a potential scam minefield.

Understand this simple fact, the majority of 'cloud mining' operations are and have been nothing more than fractional mining/ponzi scams. Some have been so successful they have managed to steal tens of millions of dollars-worth of bitcoin. The surge of interest surrounding the imminent release of ZCash mainnet is just another opportunity for scammers to invest a little time and money in creating a supposedly legitimate setup of online personae in order to conduct their next scheme.

Add in the fact it involves truly anonymous cryptocurrency and you have the perfect storm for both the operation and ultimate exit for scam services.

That's why you need to accept that before anything else, you have to provide reasonable proof of who you are and that you are trusted by reputable people.

Sure, I accept that. But no-one has tried to email me at tim@zeropond.com or tim@stacklife.com or tried to contact yvg1900 on Twitter via PM or anything like that. So if you are not going to bother following up with proofs that I've offered, then you shouldn't continue slinging mud.
