Some background:
CEO of GAW miners went on a public rant trying to promote his new venture saying that they had partnerships with big companies like Target, Amazon, and Walmart... This was followed by a bounch of other such statements.

Coinfire covered this, stating the obvious. That he was outright lying.

Here's an archived version of a catched page containing the article:

Why a catched version? Hours after the article went public, It caused a lot of people to be furious. Coinfire was hacked and people started thinking it was GAW that hacked into the website.

Apparently "GAWCEO" didn't really do much to defend his company against those accusations. He went on to say that the alexa rank of coinfire wasn't importand enough for them to care about it. But guess what, the hashtalk post where he said that is now down as well.

Read the comments in those two posts. There's a good chance they'll make you want to laugh at GAW and Josh. People have started realising what's going on, and since Paycoin was supposed to be the next big thing, it's certainly not off to a good start. Not to mention all those marketing efforts to overhype it being thrown to the dumpster.

What's after this? Do you think this is a situation the scheme GAW has built can survive? Or they done fucked up for good?

If your going to report whats going on, its important you use facts.

1. My response to coinfire is still posted. Do a little searching.
2. We now haver over 1 million invite request for paycoin. So I would say its going pretty well.
3. Our NDAs are preventing us from announcing our large partners. Its ok with you don't believe. But the only way to prove it is to wait and see what happens. So how about holding of on spreading FUD until that happens?
4. Coinfire did not provide any more evidence then we have, so why does that make us liars? And not them? In any case, our legal team will force them to show their sources, so we will know the truth soon enough.
5. There is no evidence of any of the claims you are making in and the links you posted. Just people doing the something your doing here, speculating and trying to pass off opinions as facts

Again, you don't help the community by providing half facts, or just making up your own facts. Especially when many of your points are about transparency to begin with.

I was banned from hashtalk for questioning the disclosure of those relationships. I would like to see the language in the NDA that states you can not disclose the relationship with a partner. I will also assume every agreement has its own NDA since these companies do not function on same premise when agreeing to a partnership. To disclose you have an NDA assumes its one. In my dealings with contracts the NDA is seperate and usually different with every agreement.
