Bitcoin Forum

I would like to confess that most cloud mining ponzi schemes and HYIP schemes were programmed/developed/scripted by me. I really don't feel proud of it.

I would like to add that I never took part in any of the schemes or received extra bitcoins.

I would be approached by an individual to create a site. I would give a price, make the site, get paid. I needed to support my family. After a few months I had a feeling that some sites were being used for "ponzi" operations. But I sat back and done nothing (This is why I feel guilty). I want to make things right somehow, But I really don't know the figures that these sites made and whether they were ponzi schemes or not. I believe most of them were looking back.

I haven't created any scripts in a few months now. But I still see people reselling them.

What can I do to help this situation? I love the community and I love Bitcoin. I really didn't want to impact on the community like I have.

1) You seem to have a big ego that needs feeding, this is not a good personality trait.
2) You feel guilty, this means you might have a conscience. Do bad, feel bad. Do good, feel good.
3) There are many programmers out there, I doubt you produced a fraction of these scripts.
4) If it's true, which I doubt, then you created the tools that facilitated fraud. You definitely "took part" because these sites are built from the ground up with no basis for earning *profit*.
5) If you want to do something to feel better: help people stop falling for them - make a scam prevention site.

Are you the scammer James Volpe?

If you are the writer of the scripts, then you will have the sourcecode. Try to find some bugs or hackable points at that, if it is found then we can stop the sites from scamming people.

Post the code, prove it! Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Scamming scammers does not help the people the scammers were scamming and is likely to just make things worse.

But I like to play these Ponzi game, I want to say thank you  :)

Or even better, post the code on github and let us all help finding bugs to bring those scammers down... I for one would be happy to help in my spare time

yes if you are not lying then prove it by posting the source code. What did you think you were making in the first place? what did your employer tell you?

You should list every site you created so people know which ponzi's are still out there and runnning.  You are already paid so it won't hurt you.

Even if he posts the source code it wouldn't help as its already open source or freely available out there if someone has used it.

I have a feeling this topic might be something just to back his claim here  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1089891.msg11616768#msg11616768 . It probably isn't true.

This is the only answer.

I have lost a lot of coins when I start to use btc in the early 2014.
OP, for help this situation I think you can repay back the stolen coin to how can prove the scam occurred...
