You paid him to create a coin. Coin needed a stable network for launch, He made that happen too. Did he deliver your coin? Yes? No scam here.
In his own words:
you said you wanted no premine, you never said i couldn't premine it
He admits he was told no premine AND intentionally 'misinterprets' it and performs his own premine.
He openly admits he accepted this job for .4BTC, then claims it wasn't worth it so he premined. Why not negotiate a better fee?
I'm sorry, but this guy comes across as a liar, a thief as well as a scammer.
its easy to cherry pick little parts of my message. one blaring omission from your less than word for word quote of my statement was that i used the premine to get some people to help me. i'm not gonna repeat my self any longer. the mods have access to the pm's, i'll let them settle it. enjoy life with your head up the ass of GasCoin and iGotSpots.
This is actually the first coin I tried to mine at it's launch, which makes me doubly pissed over your actions and your attitude about it.
"its not a large enough premine to matter. no one will say shit about it, trust me."
Gee, at July 27, 2013, 12:08:04 AM GAScoin said it went live, at July 27, 2013, 12:13:32 AM the premine was noticed and commented on. Yeah, no one will care, TRUST YOU.
"nothing shady about a premine if you put it to good use. "
Front page of the lauch states in bold letter
NO PREMINE. Nah, nothing shady about premining a coin that advertises itself as no premine.
"we tried it on testnet(yeah, i had to hire testers, what am i supposed to split .4 btc four ways?) they wanted compensation and we took 25 k apiece. no shame in that."
Gee, I wanna be a tester for you, 25k coins eh? Sounds like my kind of testing! I'd love the chance to have the first dump at an exchange with 25k coins! I've got 600 coins after 24 hours running the client, so 25k premine each for 4 people, wow, that's quite reasonable! NOT!
An honest person abides by rules, a dishonest person looks for loopholes and uses words like "You never said *I* couldn't premine it". It's clear which category you fall into.
