After 2 days they canceled the transfers ...i was able to succesfully withdraw the funds after i sent them over 100 emails and someone from bitcoiniacs replied me with this :
Dear Yves,
Cointrader was purchased by Newnote Financial. They didn't do a good job of running it and we're trying to buy it back. Hopefully we can do it soon and help you out.

Best regards

Chris

So please dont use cointrader anymore ... who have funds there withdraw immediatly .. nobody knows what will happen with it
Thanks

I have a withdraw started from 2 days and its still "queued", until now they had automaticaly withdraw(i`ve been using them for 1 year), they closed the support page, doesn't respond to any emails tweets or anything else, their exchange market dropped to 0.5 max daily ...i think they will close the services, so i am not advising anyone to deposit or exchange there or else they will remain with the funds stucked... just like me ...
I am not acusing of scaming i just point that it never happened to me till now to remain with the funds stucked there... probably thats not the place for this topic but i didnt knew where to put it so ... an admin can move to wherever.
Thanks

Dear topicstarter, with all respect sure you understand that info like that should be proved by screenshots at least (without your ID of course). Any additional info that can somehow confirm your words should be nice too.. Thanks!
Yes sir you are right
Its not a scam acusation, its just a warning, it`s a posibility that they will complete the transfer, although the invoice that i wanted to pay has expired ... the withdraws are "queued" but something like that never happened to me before on cointrader, they didnt gaved me any transaction id or anything, after confirming the withdraw on my email, i got on their website saying something like : due to a massive load of servers your transfer will be processed shortly. It`s already been more than 24 hours ..
Also the phone number is disconnected, the support page is closed, havent got any responds at emails ...

This project thread seems so slow for a project with so much potential.  I took a few BTC profit from some other coins and bought some.  Wish you all the best of luck and may the crypto gods be on your side. Smiley

as funny as this might sound... i think that it might be because the people involved in it are actually known to be insanely honest........ if you know what i mean.

Re: GAW Zen Hashlet PayCoin unofficial uncensored discussion. ALWAYS MAKE MONEY :-)

Gaw people are great example of the human tendency to "rationalize" rather than to think rationally. Lol, the hatred, wow.

It's not just GAW customers that rationalize poor decisions. I've done crypto off and on since 2011 and I've made plenty of bad decisions. Obviously, a number of HT members read this thread. For those of you lurking, here is my experience with GAW. Look at it objectively and tell me it wouldn't raise concerns in a rational person. I know I've had concerns for a long time. I apologize in advance for the tome but this is somewhat of a cathartic event for me.

I purchased my first rebranded Zeus miner from GAW back in June. Back then, GAW's promise was to your door in 5 days. Mine came on the 5th day. Many others did not get theirs in the promised 5 days. Now, in fairness to GAW, the supply chain was out of their hands. They had a vendor who shipped from China and GAW could not control the logistics. They were basically middlemen collecting the money and handling RMAs. There were complaints in their forums and things seemed to be mostly taken care of. They even issued a credit to customers that bought their miners right before they suddenly cut the price in half. Can you always make everyone happy? No. Mostly, at that time, they seemed to be in a little over their head by underestimating what they were in control of but trying to do the right thing.

Then I bought a used Gridseed blade from their website that was stated as coming from their Northeast data center. I had store credit so decided to use it. The miner did not come in the promised timeframe. This seemed odd as the miner was already in their control. I could never get a rep on the phone. However, the emails started to fill up with excuses. "I need to check with our warehouse in China." Yeah, it's used and coming from your US location. I got a ZenController (remember those?) which I didn't order but was told to keep it. After more excuses and a few more weeks, the miner finally showed up and it worked well. Now in my mind, they have a workflow management and customer service problem. The customer service problem is openly acknowledged on their forums and they hire more CS reps who are visible.

Up to this point, GAW sold physical miners but also offered hosting. I didn't utilize their hosting but there were often complaints from the customers about availability and uptime. It was clear that whatever facility was being used was not meant for the kind of power draw these scrypt miners were pulling. They announced they were building a proper data center with the required power density. There were even pictures posted. Fast forward a few weeks and GAW enters into an agreement with ZenMiner. Now you can purchase your miners from GAW and have them hosted at ZenMiner. If you want your miner sent to you, you can make the request and it will be shipped to you. Miners are also guaranteed to be up and running in 24 hours. To me, it seems like GAW is addressing their problems of scale and the hosted solution begins somewhat attractive to me. Customers can also have their GAW hosted miners transferred to ZenMiner. Customers are generally happy with the improved uptime. Fast forward a few weeks and GAW announces that they have merged with ZenMiner. Then there is an impromptu sale that evolves on their forum for a 27 MH/s miner with 3 months of free hosting. I decided to purchase a few. I like to touch my miners but I figured if I didn't like the hosting service, I would request that they be shipped to me. The miners were deployed, I selected my scrypt pool via the ZenCloud interface, and I was good to go.

In my mind, this is where things start to get concerning. Some people with one month of hosting ask that their miners be shipped to them. The GAW policy is not well defined and many customers make a lot of assumptions, many of them bad in my opinion. At that point, the policy is announced that miners requested to be shipped will take at least two weeks. The work will need to be scheduled, the equipment packed, and then shipped. After all, shipping miners is not our primary business or where we focus our resources we are told. Obviously, no one wants to take their miners off-line for a minimum of two weeks and pay shipping costs. This is where you first see GAW pushing customers in the direction GAW wants them to go. I have no idea if anyone ever received a physical miner from the ZenMiner data center. This was a real concern for me and I believe others. Additional questions were being raised. Where was the data center located? It's a trade secret was the response. There were questions about capacity. It's a trade secret was the response. At least post some photos. We will get some posted is the response. There are real, legitimate questions in their forums. They are answered but not really in what I would call a transparent or verifiable manner. It's also when you start to see rationalization by a group of customers. Eventually, pictures are posted. The geo metadata is left in the photos and people quickly discover where the photos were taken. Groups of customers essentially begin the forum equivalent of a victory dance and start in with "See, we weren't wrong." The general feedback to GAW is that communications are limited and something that needs serious improvement.

At this point, I'd come to the conclusion that while the service is represented as a hosting type of operation, it is really a modified type of cloud-based operation with virtual miners. You purchase a portion of hash capacity. How GAW delivers that hash capacity is not your concern. You may have purchased 10 MH/s of power but the underlying hardware could be a 100 MH/s device that is just logically carved up into multiple pieces or two 5 MH/s devices. That's not necessarily bad, but if that's how you are doing it, people should at least be told.

The questions continued even in GAWs forums. These are crypto logistical questions such as, if you are mining a scrypt pool, how come we're not seeing the hashes reflected at the pool? Customers even excitedly talk about pointing their miners to specific pools to see the hash rates jump. Hash rates at the pools remain static. Pool operators state that they are not seeing GAW hash power hit their pools. Why are the hash rates in the ZenCloud dashboard so consistent? Crickets. By this time, I have modified my belief somewhat about how GAW is operating. Rather than having a ton of power hungry scrypt asics mining and converting scrypt-based altcoins to BTC, a process that can be risky and involve losses, I believe that they are just mining straight BTC. Essentially, they have developed a way to abstract the user from the mining activity and create a virtual miner. They have created pool names, based on actual, real pools that people recognize, and assigned payout values to these pools, assigned a conversion factor for the "scrypt" mining users they think they're doing, and pay people. That's just my opinion based on general observations since the flow of verifiable information was limited. I've been an IT infrastructure architect on cloud solutions so this is how I thought what they were doing might be accomplished. At one point, it was almost a game among some forum users to speculate out how GAW might be doing some of the things they were doing. They wouldn't say since it was a trade secret. I had real reservations at this point and really felt that the trade secret veil was an excuse. You can describe in general terms what was being done without giving away the secret sauce. If you were telling people you were operating one way but really operating another, then that's really not kosher. However, I had hosted miners that I couldn't get shipped and didn't really want in my house anyway so I was in a holding pattern.

Vaultbreakers are announced. They are paid in advance like all pre-orders. They are exceedingly expensive with few schedule details like many scrypt pre-orders at the time. I don't do pre-orders after my BFL experience but many people do.  Vaultbreakers are delayed with the occasional status update. A bit later Hashlets are introduced. They are initially described as the most advanced cryptocurrency miner ever which implied it was hardware. There are questions as to if they are really the Vaultbreakers just carved up to smaller pieces or if they are something else. There are multiple levels of Hashlets introduced each with a different price level but they are tied to specific "pools". They are promised to provide ROI. Maintenance fees will never exceed the payout. The Hashlet Prime is described as the best of the best and carry special favor. You can mine any pool with them. Another miner will never be required because the Prime is so advanced. Vaultbreaker owners are given the opportunity to convert their Vaultbreaker orders into Hashlet Primes. This failure to deliver the Vaultbreaker is only minimally noted on the forums because people are so excited they get to convert to Hashlet Primes. They are thankful that they aren't screwed out of their money like in other vaporware pre-orders. For those not versed in finance, these users just gave GAW an interest free loan. The introduction of the Hashlet is where the marketing hype really starts to climb to a fevered pitch.

My hosted miners are converted to Primes. GAW made it too attractive not to convert and my miners were essentially trapped there anyway. It was obvious they wanted to push all hosting customers in that direction. I'm getting daily BTC payouts but they aren't crazy. I figure if things don't go south before my three months of free hosting is done, I will have made back the money I spent on the original "physical" miners. I even buy some Primes at the intro price because I'm slow that way and have an OCD compulsion to make numbers even. I made that decision against my better judgement. It's not the first bad decision I've ever made and it won't be the last.

ZenPool is introduced. Again, it is not clear how ZenPool works and how they are able to maintain a payout better than any other pool. There are vague references to renting out hash power and crypto currency multipool type activity, trading altcoins and being better at it than others. Legitimate questions in the forum are beaten down with positivity. In my mind, this is not a good thing.

Honestly, some of the capabilities are neat and provide flexibility. The whole concept of a virtual miner that allows me to merge miners to make them easier to manage and split miners and mine against different pools is cool. However, as products and capabilities are rolled out, there are constant delays and issues. Many of them are development related. I've been a developer so I understand this world. What I experienced and was witness to was what we call "Cowboy Development." Essentially, it's a lack of real testing. I even question in my mind if there is a test environment. Occasionally, the problems are blamed on infrastructure or even system design. The payment servers are overloaded. The backend database needs to be redesigned. We will rerun payments. Withdraws will be re-enabled soon. Things will be fixed soon. Self-imposed deadlines come and go. People on the forums are always grateful to be told "what's going on" and respond with "You guys are GAWsome, you work too hard. You should get some sleep." In my mind, what they should be doing is deploying fully tested solutions that work on a scalable infrastructure. I understand there might be issues occasionally but I find it extremely unprofessional that they cannot get things right time and time again. This is what I do for a living so I'm really irritated at what would seem to be a certain level of incompetence. Especially for a company that has, in my mind, a fiduciary responsibility to its customers. Let me say that again. GAW has a fiduciary responsibility to its customers to deploy solutions that work.

The rest is kind of where things are now. HT is heavily and efficiently censored to ensure there is no dissent. Announcements come out filled with grammatical errors and present an image to those not blinded that GAW sometimes seems unsure of where they are going. Did you see the debit card reversal and re-reversal? I read the announcements section every few days just to see what the party line is. Delays continue and explanations are weak. The number of customers at GAW has probably grown exponentially. I suspect a number of them think that they are all going to be rich when Paybase is released and they can sell their XPY for $20 back to GAW. My sense is that there are people over there that have no idea what they've gotten into or have spent money that they can't afford to lose. You hear that a lot in investing, cryptocurrency, and even over on HT. A number of those customers haven't seen GAW from the beginning. What I would say to those people is read the text above. It should at least make you think about what you are doing and who you are getting into bed with. If you still choose to make that decision then that's just fine. Just remember what you were told as a kid: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Then remember what you probably weren't told as an adult in relation to investing: Pigs get slaughtered.

Having said all that, I still have some holdings in ZenCloud. I'm not counting on it for anything. It's paying me XPY which I sell. If XPY works out, great. If it doesn't, that's ok too. That's kind of been my attitude toward GAW since I discovered that my hosted miners were essentially trapped back in the summer. I'm not in the hole on this experiment and even if I was, it would only be my own fault. Based on the history I've seen with GAW and how things around XPY have been explained, I don’t see how the situation is sustainable. However, I’m a simpleton so maybe I just don't understand.

Again, sorry for the tome but this was a cathartic event for me and I had to just get it out.

i usualy dont read that much ... but you pointed true examples  ... but what if the paybase will come and everything will be ok ... the demand of paycoins will increase because other exchanges will be filled with request to buy paycoins because they will have a lower price .. eventually the price will be steady  ... i dont know what will be the price but ... if they implement to some big merchants like wallmart it will be pretty high ... yet again ... if they dont prevail its not the end of the world ... every coin lost the price over time ... many people that invested got burned ... in my humble opinion thats the crypto life ... eventually will go down ...

It's GAW's business strategy that's making ZenPool crap, not some mythical mining problems.

I think you don't even have a problem if paycoin failure... you are just envious that it might prevail where all the coins went down... you dont have a problem with josh you all makes everything you can to see him fail with paycoin ... but he showed you many times that he wont fail in all his projects during the time and why not to create a powerfull coin that can compete with bitcoin ?? Why not ? ... dont be gealous on him just because he has a big amount of paycoins ... its good for this industry to be a powerfull company and to compete with the big dogs like bitcoin litecoin and others that dropped in time... i believe that he can do it and he will implement paycoins to major merchants alll over the world..

Josh failed in one big project, which was hashlets.  He couldn't even keep those profitable look at Zenpool, he told us time and time again that he could get it back to its original .0006 or higher payouts but failed miserable at it.  Paycoin is his last ditch effort to keep GAW running and so far he has failed at that too. Sure he got XPY on Cryptsy up but it's already crashing again, do you honestly believe he will honor the $20 per coin on paybase more than likely not.  If paycoin fails which at this rate it will GAW will be gone.
with hashlets people made 2 3 times roi... i lost count how many times i had roi with primes because i converted the vaultbreakers i got from first and second batch... the mining difficulty went up so ... not only gaw had this problem...and i think its still profitable to buy zens but now its a long term investition... and in the past they "rent" their mining power thats why the zenpool droped the daily payouts... i mean come on its really hard to mine and be profitable in these days....only ltcgear can ... dont know how but they still can ...

Let me ask a silly question...

Our most favorite GAWite in the world, none other than Redacted, said this:

Quote
On the 29th - without GAW needing to do anything other than to bring up paybase and to start exchanging XPY for BTC at the $20 rate - the price will rise to $20 on all the exchanges within a couple of hours. Guaranteed.

Why does he think this is guaranteed?

If I make some pie-in-the-sky assumptions:

  • GAW will allow unlimited transactions of XPY to BTC at a XPY->USD value of "$20"
  • GAW will not interfere with any customers ability to move non-XPY coins out of Paybase
  • GAW will not charge any transactions fees to convert from XPY to BTC

Why, on the day Paybase opens, wouldn't everyone pull all their coin off the exchanges and go to Paybase to cash in? The value of the exchange would be frozen with no sell orders to move the price.

Why would anyone want to sell coin on an exchange at less than GAW value if the assumptions are correct? Well, we know that all of those assumptions are outlandish when it comes to how Paybase will really work. There will be limitations and speed bumps put into place to make it painful to do business with them.

Am I missing a market fundamental fact here?
it will be not only on paybase the 20$ range price because we all will buy paycoins from other exchangers and go to paybase to convert them into fiat or btc... and the amount of paycoins from th merchants will get lower they will have to rise the price up to keep the xpy exchange running

blackwavelabs homepage/servers under severe DDOS attacks. certainly just coincidence....

Now that's funny.  

So is genesis-mining and apparently nexus miner.  Someone posted here a short while ago blaming those two on GAW.  There was that whole coinfire incident a short while back as well.

Obviously not enough to really blame anything on GAW but the coincidence is somewhat concerning.  If there is anything more to go off on who this could possibly be, I would certainly like to know.

There's also a supposed hack last week of LTCGear's site where payout addresses were changed.
All Btc and Ltc addresses have now been changed on what looks like every account at LTCgear. Might be Chris working on it mind.
Have had no problems with payouts from them but my addresses were replaced as well.
Looks like Genesis and Blackwave labs are back up, wonder if it was at the same time Roll Eyes

I just logged in and saw that. I seriously don't understand why Chris did not tell everyone, via email and/or announcement on the site, that they were all changed and you have to update them?

There was talk of people having their emails hacked as well. Seems some were using TOR to create accounts.
Plenty of discussion over here :-

The only problem with that is the availability of coins. How many coins are actually available to dump? You do realize that 90% of hashlets converted to stakers and nearly all the stakers are filled (and locked) with these Paycoins. Other than a collective group getting together, there likely ISN'T any whales that can dump and move this price. That's the beauty of a staked coin.

Doesn't that imply that the value of the coin is not realistic because so much of the coin is locked up in staking? How would the true value be ultimately decided then if not via large-volume trading?

So for a Proof-of-Stake coin, its odd for the majority of it to be locked up in staking?  WTF? Did I just enter Bizzarro Backwards Land?
its a premined coin dude ... i think ure high ... i swear you dont have a clue what paycoin is... youre just bored at your pc and wanna make an impression here ... get some sleep please.

but after paybase opens other sites like cryptsy will have to get the price up to 20$ too ...because you will buy and exchange to paybase...

Only if the arbitrage can be fulfilled by the paybase weekly sell limits. Since the volume is so low on the exchanges than I expect the other exchanges to quickly rise to 20 usd per coin, but only if paybase allow for XPY to BTC exchanges without KYC, otherwise expect further delays and possible nervous sell offs.

Want to know the only way to know GAW is not a scam? Me. Its because I do not want it to be.

Anyone is capable of anything. More importantly, no amount of "documentation" or " proof" is ever going to be enough. The number one reason GAW is not a scam is because I will never let it be one. I care more about the end game, than a short win.

That's some scary stuff right there...asking people to have faith when producing a MSB application number is effortless. 
what is an MSB ?
