I'm going to be a lot more shocked if GAW isn't some form of Ponzi scheme. I have had a handful of accounts on HT banned for merely questioning GAW's practices. I've created accounts, knowing they'd be banned, for the sole purpose of asking 1 question or making 1 statement(NOT rude in any way shape or form) and watched them shadowbanned within minutes. They didn't even exist long enough to earn many downvotes and in some cases got upvotes but ultimately got banned anyways. If you create a new account you basically have to walk-on-eggshells building up a reputation before ever questioning anything about the almighty GAW. I have 5 tickets open dating back to August 5th and not a single one has been resolved.

Hashlets operate as if they are a share of some overall hashrate ultimately owned and controlled by GAW. They say it is not. I've had Founders and Mod's tell me that the reason that some of my Hashlets under-perform(earn less BTC) than others of the same or lesser hashrate mining the same pool is because they are pegged to specific hardware miners. Now that is just absurd. So I question them and GAW Support how is it that they can under-perform AND simultaneously incur higher maintenance fees. Maintenance fees are based solely on hashrate. So if my Hashlets, pegged to a specific hardware miner, earn me less BTC then they must be operating at a lower hashrate and also must incur a lower maintenance fee because of that lower hashrate. Obviously I've never got an explanation on HT and none of my tickets have been resolved.
