Here's how I see it. They sold more than they intended to and people kept asking for more, so they needed more supply to satisfy the demand and probably decided that 'if they want it so much let's make them pay more'. That's how I'd do it because this is the way market works.
I think hashlet was a software from the beginning, but the choice of words in early advertising was questionable and was changed later on.
I'm not wondering why the discussion takes place but rather why you keep buying from them if you say it's a scam. I'm a simple guy and if something stinks I don't touch it.
I don't keep buying. I never said it's a scam. I bought a bitcoin's worth of first batch hashlets for a stats project I'm running. At $16 and given the initial assurances it was a moderate risk investment. With the recent changes it is a much different proposition. I wouldn't touch it now and I think the questions being raised here is a service to the community. Even if the only result is going to be GAW changing their marketing blurb, it's still a good result.
I'm glad you agree that it was misrepresented initially.
