[P]rostitution, adultery, necrophilia, bestiality, possession of child pornography, and even incest and pedophilia … should be legal as long as no one is coerced. They are illegal only because of prejudice and narrowmindedness.
Some rules might be called for when these acts directly affect other people's interests. For incest, contraception could be mandatory to avoid risk of inbreeding. For prostitution, a license should be required to ensure prostitutes get regular medical check-ups, and they should have training and support in insisting on use of condoms. This will be an advance in public health, compared with the situation today.
For necrophilia, it might be necessary to ask the next of kin for permission if the decedent's will did not authorize it. Necrophilia would be my second choice for what should be done with my corpse, the first being scientific or medical use. Once my dead body is no longer of any use to me, it may as well be of some use to someone. Besides, I often enjoy rhinophytonecrophilia (nasal sex with dead plants).

What's that? Feb 25!!!. Mr. CEO, please confirm if this is actually you.

quote:


Josh Garza Josh@gaw.com Feb 25 to Jonah, Dan, Dave, Matthew

I look forward to it.

There seems to be some major confusion about this going on. Matt told me that people believe I am transferring intellectual property to other companies? What is the intellectual property exactly?

Not that I owe this explanation, but I am not currently an owner, and do not have plans to be (I may invest in the future), of any of these other paycoin companies. This includes xpy technologies, paycoin foundation, etc.

There is no conspiracy, my primary objective is to exit the business. The primary reason are:

1.The lack of discovery with how our company has been breached, the things that have been put out there, have left me with a major level of distrust for many that work here. While I was originally going to couch it with "We don't have enough money", it would obviously not be accurate as I could provide it if necessary.

For me it comes down to a lack of trust with different people (I am sure it's mutual). We/I have obviously been betrayed, and there is no resolution to it.

Matt, you continue to promote the theory that it's me "devices". But I have found more then one example of information being out out that I never even had.

Along with a mismatch in communication styles that does not allow me to comfortably operate. If I am involved in something else, it will be as an investor.

I am not mad or anything like that. And I am very willing to make sure everyone is made whole.

Obviously I am open to any opinions you guys have.

Regarding the companies. Let me be clear on a few things:

GAW Miners- we need to sell off the rest of the hardware and close down. Any access cash (if there are any) will be used to pay for sec stuff.

Paybase- I plan to announce the discontinuation of the wallet service, have everyone move their paycoins out, and shut it down. This is why I helped team paycoin. Because I did not want our customers being left without an option.

ZenCloud- I am hoping to can give it away to one of a few companies interested.

Hashbase development will be shut down. I may, at some point, have a new team pick it up. I honestly have not decided. For it to be finished, I will have to help fund it. And without Joe, I do not think I want to. I mean no disrespect to you Matt, this is a personal comfort thing.

Paycoin development is being transferred to team paycoin.

I may have plans to use the btc llc, simply because it already exist, for a project unrelated to any the company is currently involved in or planned to be involved in.

Dan, should it be an issue to use the btc llc, then I will just form a newco. None of the current assets or software will needed. I have no use for them.

Finally, may or may not offer jobs to some of the existing staff. I have not decided yet.

His reply?

Holy poo poo, this is getting so juicy. Here are the actual leaks. It's a long read, but drat it's totally worth it.

He knew months in advance he was going to shut down various things that he swore to the community he wasn't shutting down. He laid off employees with two weeks' notice, including the technical staff that actually knew how to operate and manage the infrastructure.

The domains and systems weren't "stolen" from him -- he threw away the keys by firing his technical staff and then threw a temper tantrum when those very same people wouldn't come back (for free) to give him passwords and show him how to get into everything. The alleged "extortion" (that whole "either we signed to get customers their stuff now, or pursue legal action which will take months to resolve" business) was nothing more than his ex-employees insisting on being paid for their time.

He's been selling XPY non-stop from the very beginning, too. Never actually lost control of whatever those "prime controllers" are -- they're still cranking out fresh new XPY right now that's still for sale on the market. Oh, and they've tracked down all the big XPY transactions too -- they go from his personal wallets straight to Cryptsy. Whoops.

There's so much more in that thread. It's really worth spending some time reading it.

they were a company that sold miners, then mining contracts where they'd build and host the miners in their warehouse, then they turned their mining contracts into a non-voting stock thing called paycoins which were just a new cryptocurrency that they said they'd keep at at least a $20 value by jumping around to different pools and different altcoins to ensure that they were making more than $20/paycoin. they premined a bunch of these and had an introductory sale where they sold them for like $5, then they realized their business plan of buying those back at $20 wouldn't work, so the owner bought 2 sports cars and has been talking about the failure of his business plan since.
