Man, it looks like my post on Hashtalk stirred up quite the reaction. I've considered responding to some of GAW_CEO's messages, but I really think it would just be falling of deaf ears. So far, he seems to just deflect and brush my claims off as "subjective". Some if it definitely is subjective (some things just aren't objective or quantifiable), but it is an absolute fact that nothing Hashcoin related has been said to be peer or community reviewed, or that there is any technical evidence (code samples, diagrams) for the marketing claims made in the paper.

I'm not against Hashcoin. I hope it is successful since I'm invested (not like I had an option; Hashlets are worthless doing anything non Hashcoin related), but Hashcoin to me is currently nothing more than a mechanism I'll use to acquire more Bitcoin. If it does somehow end up being legitimately successful then I'll be along for the ride.

I just worry about all those involved in Hashtalk. Man, it has literally become a Cult of Personality over there.

You mean this one?

I like how the CEO responded along the lines of "I could address your questions but I'd rather just tell you that you're wrong"

He's never handled criticism that well. I think that's just ego and immaturity. Keep in mind he's only 26, there's many soft skills he hasn't developed yet. He just doesn't have the world experience at this point.

What that post turned into was the fanboys massaging Josh's ego. Like Redeacted, the guy that brags about working for the NSA and has well over 6 figures invested. He's like a basement dweller living under his parents house.

Regardless - narcism attracts narcissist. So, it's an odd world on HT sometimes.
