Hey guys,

Firstly: at this point , I'm pretty sure this is NOT a scam, a lot of people have worked hard and stressed over this launch for it to be a scam...

The launch of the coin certainly had a lot of technical issues.. and I think rushing the relaunch was not helpful in that regard.

However, this is far from an impossible task.. There's nothing that can't be overcome.  

What is important about this project, is not the coin itself.. this is .. by all accounts of the crypto world : just another clone coin..

What is important is the business model this coin represents.  That someone out there that is willing to bring miners added value: by selling direct.. without going through exchanges, newegg, or anything else the tools they crave the most: GPUs. That is the value proposition... and that still exists; even after all this.  The success of this project will not be defined by the coin, ultimately...  But rather: the operations and sales behind the GPUs.  And there is still ample interest in this business proposition; everyone here loves GPUs.  

So let's let the dev team finish up this coin, have ample time to test it.. and we'll relaunch with a super smooth, comfortable launch next Sunday.

I've also extended my help (again) to work for cryptowest and team, to provide whatever they need: Code, VPS, reviews, testing.. to get this thing off the ground for sunday.  As I think it's far more important that this business model prove successful ultimately in the long run.  My reference code for GPUcoin is code complete (though untested since i was pulled off the project last night), and is completely available for them to use, and / or comment on: https://github.com/micryon/GPUcoin  -> it is just missing hashGenesisblock creation (which is a trivial step).


So let's just take our time, relax for the week (maybe shameless plug: mine realstackcoin in the meantime Smiley  ), and wait for the proper launch next Sunday.  

I am very confident, that with all of us helping on this, that this next launch will be successful. CEO can focus on supply / operations , web side.  While we work together to get the coin side of it launched.  The community can help make this successful, and I fundamentally believe, that it is in all of our best interest that it project succeeds.




Wow. how ironic - the dev who was looked over is the one online reassuring us.

Even aside from the technical competence, cryptowest and gpucoin need to learn better public relations skills.  They are extremely competent when it comes to dealing with their investors.

Micryon for dev!

As much as i would like to agree with the dev, i am in favour of your comment. doesn't take much to post a comment every hour to keep people updated. And also have the balls to say that you was never going to get this coin relaunched in the short space of time. BUT, fortunately here we are with a new date. This is as you say in the best interested of all of us. Next Sunday it is then..
