In Scott's 2nd email communication with yourjustadonkey he said : Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 12:45:18 -0500 Subject: Re: btcpoolparty article From: talontech1@gmail.com To: XXXXXX@hotmail.com HI XXXXX, I have read some things on Shone and in fact I just interviewed him. I was not quite sure on how the past stuff he may have done fit with BTC Pool Party as the company is definitely more than just him. In fact one of the things that came up was the need for transparency based on people worrying about shady businesses. The parent company is publicly traded as well in the US so they are under more scrutiny. Juan is also very anti shady business. So far I think they are going to do very well being transparent and having a third party audit system in place. I will make sure to note your concerns though. Juan is working very hard on it as well. Very aggressive in getting this going. I am watching it all with interest that is for sure as it could be what mining needs to turn the corner. Add in Spondoolies is working on a bit to their chips that will allow transparent contract locking and verification at the chip level. This will allow cloud mining services to be even more transparent. I will keep you up to date on what I see and find. If you have an info feel free to share I am always looking for info. Thanks again and have a great day, Scott
