It's ok I understand.  People are concerned and we as a Bitcoin community world wide has been burned by scams and disasters like Gox and BFL along with others.
GAW is doing something new and that has some people excited and others upset and afraid of another huge scam and disaster.  We all have worries and the next several weeks will show if GAW can do it or not.   We will have more info on just want the deal is or is not with retailers, we will see if they can get their debit card and bill pay going.  If they do it will be good if not we will see why.  There are many companies trying similar things even ZeusMiner stopped making hardware to focus on the cloud and their payment system.  We are seeing an evolution in Bitcoin and the industry with many players doing all sorts of stuff.  It is exciting and nerve raking as there is real money involved and peoples lives.
We as a community need to support each other and at times agree to disagree and move on from there.
I promise you if I find hard evidence GAW is a scam I will get the news out ASAP.  I am looking at things people are worried about and I ask more and more difficult questions of GAW and others.  So far there are some rumors and flags but also some things that have moved forward and a huge community that supports them for better or worse.  That is what all coins want and need are committed communities.  That is what gives them value and gets them used.  
Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies are the cusp of another evolution of how we interact with each other and have a monetary system backed by the faith of people and not governments who do not always have our best interests in mind.  Bitcoin is changing things and I think for the better.
I am excited about what was started in 2009 and want to see where were are in 3009.
Happy New Year and Best Wishes to you and everyone. :-)
