I emailed GW yesterday and they were very quick to respond, forthright, and refreshing. I doubted the program at first also because I didn't see much going on and some of the things they said weren't getting done (like token release). I'm guessing they didn't have all their ducks in a row when they started and didn't communicate it well.
The PODs are almost all up and running for the initial token investors. Lots of stuff to keep track of for them and new rules. Can you imagine how far ahead they will be compared to other compeditors here in the states. They should be trusted.
