Title: DeCiB3l Non-Ponzi Investment Verification Thread Post by: infested999 on August 11, 2013, 12:11:55 AM Description
In this thread I will keep track of securities that I have verified. Lately there have been some securities that don't want to explicitly tell people how they are earning their money, as that would ruin their business. This would usually make their service look like a ponzi since nobody can know what their service is, so they can tell a trusted member of this forum (such as myself) what they are doing and show proof of what they are doing and I can confirm that the service is indeed legitimate.

FAQ Q: This list is stupid, it's basically the opposite of the List of ongoing scams (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=216280.0) (which is the biggest circlejerk on the forum, that thread just lists every major service that exists). A: No, this thread is a useful way for someone to prove that their service is not a ponzi. Q: Why do I need this? A: There are some idiotic threads on this forum trying to scam users, and there are some legitimate businesses. I am here to differentiate them. For example BitGlory (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=258689.0) looked like the most obvious ponzi scheme, but after just a few questions it turned out to be completely legitimate, the author of the thread just wasn't clear on what exactly he was doing. (and it could use a better slogan than "stick your BTC into the Bitcoin glory hole) Title: Re: DeCiB3l Non-Ponzi Investment Verification Thread Post by: Grinder on August 11, 2013, 09:06:18 AM So basically, when someone thinks something is a ponzi then you will ask the accused party, and if they say no then you have verified that it's not a ponzi.

Still seem like a pretty clear ponzi scheme to me. (Hint, if something guarantees a certain and high return on your investments, it's a ponzi.)
