Great idea, something like this should be stickied so users have a clear idea of what's available without trawling through lots of threads. I would recomend the list is ordered by feedback\review\BTC paid out etc.

I'll confirm PonziCoin's details later as I am making a few changes at the moment ;)

Thank you for the suggestion. I will add feedback\postive-negative review of the sites right now but the suceeding sites must count them manually.

isn't the definition of a ponzi is that you will eventually be scammed?  i'd say they're all on the scam list.

Scam; "a dishonest scheme; a fraud"

Please explain where current ponzi operators are being dishonest? A ponzi labelled as a ponzi is a gamble, nothing more, nothing less. Some win BTCBTCBTC, others lose.

In fact;

"A fraudulent investing scam promising high rates of return with little risk to investors. The Ponzi scheme generates returns for older investors by acquiring new investors. This scam actually yields the promised returns to earlier investors, as long as there are more new investors. These schemes usually collapse on themselves when the new investments stop. "

You could argue that none of the current threads or indeed ponzis as none are "promising" any return, which therefore means they are not dishonest nor deceptive.

Its too late when you know they are scam !

i will add the definition of ponzi here in bitcointalk to remove the confusion.

What do you think about this ponzi: http://120ponzi.yolasite.com ? Can it trust?

Added Ponzi120 as Verified

Ponzi120.com - positive! :)

Added to the review counts

Thumbs up for PonziCoin from me!

All ponzi sites are scams. You are "betting" or "gambling" on the fact if you will be scammed or not. It's just as much "gambling" as "selling bitcoins for paypal to newbies".. maybe you will get your money and maybe not. (read: it's not gambling, it's hoping to not get scammed)

They really should make subforum for all these ponzi/moneymaking/fake investment/HYIP shit.


But if you want to join them.. its fine to me. JUST DO 1 THING PLEASE PONZI FANS. do NOT join these ponzi with free hosting websites. So anything *.yolasite.com, *.webs.com, *.byethost.com, *.net84.net, *.1ufh.com. If the owner of your so very legitimate "gambling" site cannot even afford some hosting for a few dollar, then DO NOT TRUST IT. These are probably just 1 guy making new accounts and making these sites in a few minutes to run after a few transactions with your money. Do not join them at least (and like I said: IN MY OPINION do not join any ponzi, but up 2 yourself.)

Good for you.

PonziCoin has a better owner, a better site and is fast becoming the best ponzi (over 100BTC in the last 18 hours!). I know where my coins have been and will continue to go.

Good

PonziCoin and Ponzi120 are definitely going strong!! Tens of deposits every hour and it isn't slowing down!!

Ponzimatic has just started but has paid out three times in the last two hours. Seems like the guy is honest!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484583.0

I admit that this ponzi works very well. ponzi120.com is a brand new domain name for 120ponzi.yolasite.com.

If somebody likes such games I say u must try this one first :P

Goodluck to all.

No! Read their thread first. It's bubble has burst! Dont be idiots people, if its struggling now, you will never get your coins back - people recommending it more than likely have coins tied up in it!

I assume that people are mostly inteligent enought (esspecially in BTC world) and they know what are doing with their money. I only gave info that ponzi120.com is working for now and we will see how much more it will run. Thats all.

I would like to leave positive feedback about PonziCoin (http://ponzicoin.co.vu/) owner, Vortuarackne (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=253120).

Most trusted and honest ponzi operator I've ever met. First, I sent 3 BTC to his ponzi address by mistake, where maximum allowed deposit amount was 1 BTC. But he approved my transaction and I got these coins back (with interest).
Second time, because of small glitch in software, my 2.6 BTC were sent to wrong address. Again, Vortuarackne was most honest and trustworthy person and he returned my money.
To all people: I can assure you, that Vortuarackne is most trusted ponzi operator on these forums, don't hesitate and invest now :)

I can truly recommend his ponzi website http://ponzicoin.co.vu/. Ponzi is in it's early stage still, and tonight, maybe tomorrow, you should expect guys looots of money coming in!  8)

Link to PonziCoin thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=474730.0

Good luck!

Their stats which you posted look good, until the bubble bursts (which it has). No one cares if it has paid back 400+ BTC if it cant afford to pay back anything else. That is the important part.



What this guy said!

+1 to Ponzicoin

I will add this one in the pending group since the site just started.

What is a Ponzi scheme?

A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk. In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors to create the false appearance that investors are profiting from a legitimate business.
Why do Ponzi schemes collapse?

With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a consistent flow of money from new investors to continue. Ponzi schemes tend to collapse when it becomes difficult to recruit new investors or when a large number of investors ask to cash out.
How did Ponzi schemes get their name?

The schemes are named after Charles Ponzi, who duped thousands of New England residents into investing in a postage stamp speculation scheme back in the 1920s. At a time when the annual interest rate for bank accounts was five percent, Ponzi promised investors that he could provide a 50% return in just 90 days. Ponzi initially bought a small number of international mail coupons in support of his scheme, but quickly switched to using incoming funds from new investors to pay purported returns to earlier investors.
What are some Ponzi scheme "red flags"?

Many Ponzi schemes share common characteristics. Look for these warning signs:

    High investment returns with little or no risk. Every investment carries some degree of risk, and investments yielding higher returns typically involve more risk. Be highly suspicious of any "guaranteed" investment opportunity.
    Overly consistent returns. Investment values tend to go up and down over time, especially those offering potentially high returns. Be suspect of an investment that continues to generate regular, positive returns regardless of overall market conditions.
    Unregistered investments. Ponzi schemes typically involve investments that have not been registered with the SEC or with state regulators. Registration is important because it provides investors with access to key information about the company's management, products, services, and finances.
    Unlicensed sellers. Federal and state securities laws require investment professionals and their firms to be licensed or registered. Most Ponzi schemes involve unlicensed individuals or unregistered firms.
    Secretive and/or complex strategies. Avoiding investments you do not understand, or for which you cannot get complete information, is a good rule of thumb.
    Issues with paperwork. Do not accept excuses regarding why you cannot review information about an investment in writing. Also, account statement errors and inconsistencies may be signs that funds are not being invested as promised.
    Difficulty receiving payments. Be suspicious if you do not receive a payment or have difficulty cashing out your investment. Keep in mind that Ponzi scheme promoters routinely encourage participants to "roll over" investments and sometimes promise returns offering even higher returns on the amount rolled over.

If you are aware of an investment opportunity that might be a Ponzi scheme, contact the SEC by phone at (800) 732-0330 or submit a tip online at sec.gov/complaint/tipscomplaint.shtml.
What steps can I take to avoid Ponzi schemes and other investment frauds?

Whether you are a first-time investor or have been investing for many years, there are some basic questions you should always ask before you commit your hard-earned money to an investment.

The SEC sees too many investors who might have avoided trouble and losses if they had asked questions from the start and verified the answers with information from independent sources.

When you consider your next investment opportunity, start with these five questions:

    Is the seller licensed?
    Is the investment registered?
    How do the risks compare with the potential rewards?
    Do I understand the investment?
    Where can I turn for help?

For more information, check out these resources: SEC Enforcement Actions Against Ponzi Schemes; Ponzi Schemes Using Virtual Currencies; Ask Questions; Avoiding Fraud; Affinity Fraud; Social Media and Investing – Avoiding Fraud.
What are some of the similarities and differences between Ponzi and pyramid schemes?

Ponzi and pyramid schemes are closely related because they both involve paying longer-standing members with money from new participants, instead of actual profits from investing or selling products to the public. Here are some common differences:

 
   

Pyramid Scheme
   

Ponzi Scheme

Typical "hook"
   

Earn high profits by making one payment and finding others to become distributors of a product. The scheme typically does not involve a genuine product. The purported product may not exist or it may be "sold" only to other people who also become distributors.
   

Earn high investment returns with little or no risk by simply handing over your money; often the investment does not exist or only a small percentage of incoming funds are actually invested.

Payments
   

Must pay a one-time or recurring participation fee and recruit new distributors to receive payments.
   

No recruiting necessary to receive payments.

Interaction with original promoter
   

Sometimes none. New participants may enter the pyramid scheme at different levels.
   

Promoter generally interacts directly with all participants.

How the scheme works
   

Funds from new participants are used to pay recruiting commissions to earlier participants.
   

Funds from new investors are used to pay purported returns to earlier investors.

Collapse
   

Fast. An exponential increase in the number of participants is required at each level.
   

May be relatively slow if existing participants reinvest money.

Added BTC1HOUR and PONZI.GA in the pending list

Have you seen VirtaPay? It takes a day or 2 to get paid, but you do. It's technically a ponzi, but they don't really say it is. It's a virtual currency, launching a BTC exchange soon.

Proof: blockchain.info (https://blockchain.info/tx/54b96d62aa6b1d2d06aee59f9ae8481cfa9de4b4372fcf548866be3ba92dfafc)

Link: virtapay.com (http://www.virtapay.com/r/goosoodude)

I cannot consider it as a ponzi. It's an online currency.

maybe you could add btccontracts.org to the list. I didn't withdraw from them yet so I cannot confirm that they pay but an other bitcointalk member confirmed they were withdrawing

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=473127.new#new

I dont trust any of this Ponzi sites :]


cheers!

Added to the pending list.

Site Name: ponzimatic.com
Link: ponzimatic.com (http://ponzimatic.com)
Return: 130%
Fee: ~1%
50% refund if chain breaks.
Fully automated.

I cannot consider this as a positive review since you are the owner of the site.

I guess I misunderstood: "If you have a ponzi site or you want to promote a site and it is not here, just put it reply below and indicate the following information"

Well please try and rate my site anyway.

I already added your site. Well, I think I misunderstood it as a review sorry.

I'm interested in Ponzi.ga and ponzimatic.  Anyone have any advice regarding these sites?

Recommendations?  Ponzi.ga doesn't seem to list a minimum deposit. 

Basically I am looking for the best ponzi to deposit in with the available BTC I have.

Look at newbie catlife who is another Ponzi owner with a new name ha ha ha ha funking CONMEN

Well, it's your choice whom to invest but I would recommend trusted sites.

The pendings sites are new sites which are also good to invest to because they just started and is having alot of investors. But beware of scams.

Im sure the hero member is running one of them, bunch of newbie account made members and they have made tons of newbie accounts  Ready to open more Ponzi games

Do you have ANY proof to support this claim?

Are you fucked?  I have a Bitcoin blog as I advertise clearly in my sig, this is the only site I operate..

And there are no references to any ponzis on my blog..

You really need to find something more productive to do with your time

Yeah I have a proof, the proof its easy to open many wallets, and many bitcointalk accounts. Thats the proof there buddy.  Good enough for me

...

So you are fucked.

Having an stupid opinion isn't proof of anything.

BTCPZ was a complete scam, why is it on your trusted list?

Thank you ben for the research LOL BUSTED!!!!!

Will move it to Scam. I don't usually check threads. So please users report scam sites.

In the end I just decided to play on Casino Royale and continue my day-trading on CEX.io

No sense risking BTC without being sure of what I am doing

I can give a positive review of ponzimatic

I think it is one of the "best" at the moment with btcontracts.org and ponzicoin.co.vu; those 3 can bring a lot of profit : they have been paying, there are still (in the previous hour) big deposits, the backlog is not big and the momentum is here; I redeposited on those 3 and I intend of redepositing again

+1 for ponzimatic

Get over yourself man.

You're more suspicious than a meth-head..

Assuming I have a hidden motive simply because I don't appreciate being called stupid by the likes of you with your "I need to help people make decisions because they can't do it themselves"


We're all in danger!

We know that he know that he showed up when THE appeared!

Thanks Laboboy31

You are very welcome sir.

never trust any ponzi, there is a reason they are illeagal with fiat money

Added weekly ponzi to the list

Gonna put this site up for the users to see

I will soon submit this for review https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=484594.
 But we don't have site, read on there why not. Will that be a problem ?

Nope that would be not. As long as you're paying it's good.

I would like to add a positive review for ponzi120 that has paid me a few times with no problem, it has been redistributing from a wallet with 55BTC so it is pretty trustful

The only problem is the manual payout that are pretty slow : 45min to get paid, ponzicoin is way faster but there is less deposits and less momentum there, it could very well change soon

This one http://ponzicoin.co/ works perfectly, the new round just started so its good time to invest before the America wakes up!

Done!
+1 ponzi120

Adding positive review for weeklyponzi.com

I have been paid out 7 times now. Legit service.

Also got paid from weekly ponzi!

+2 for weekly ponzi

hehe and I see another problem.

People add positive reviews to ponzis.
And they do not think - that at the end someone will lost his money for 100%

This is what PONZI scheme is. Some must be a looser.

So add a positive review to ponzi site - get someone in - we will cry - but who cares?

I so don't like those ponzis.

I dont either, and associating with any kind of investment scheme will put you at risk, hell i even lost 40$ on the last ponzi i tried, and now i have negative trust from one of the ponzi owners alts after i called his ponzi a scam

I announce that I am retiring on ponzis, not because I made enough money to retire but because I have lost more than 1BTC playing those

I have been sca.mmed, I have been duped and I have play bad, this is a recipe to lose, it will happen to you to if you are a newbie

a trusted list for ponzis lol they all scams

anyway this is pointless.

So far as people don't see something wrong with ponzis - just people who don't play ponzi see that it is bad.

I am thinking of quiting thinking and posting about ponzis..

Trying out ponzicoin and 120%ponzi and will see how it goes.

There's no way a "company" lying to their "investors" can be considered trusted. There are only ponzis that are paying out, and ones that aren't.

I suggest to do not make any trusted ponzi list.

there is only one "trusted" ponzi as they say you can loose.

Ponzicoin is legit, 120 is a scam I have never been paid and they have a positive balance on their wallet, more than enough to cover my payment, which is the next one. ALso bitcapital nothing have happened and the wallet has 0.5btc

What a oxymoron Trusted Ponzi lol

Mini Ponzicoin is completely confirmed and legitamate. I received my 0.013 back from my initial payment of 0.01. Here is the txid: 56e88848c8e838c6305c75b01200301a00a3a2c16578cfd50cffbad788188ee2
Add one more confirmed to the list ;)

I never knew there was a such thing as a positive ponzi list.. wth.

its a matter of time all of these will be negative though..

fully agree, Ponzi sites can only be positive for the initial users by definition, so such ranking is not really worth much.
It seems to me more like an advertisement, made by people that are already invested there, to attract new people and thus get their money.

How can a Ponzi be trusted? You are talking about the liars we can trust. that's ridiculous.

The Ponzi that pays you is always run away with your money at the end,maybe you would benefit from the Ponzi,but the later investors pays for this.

A ponzi here is not one that you would commonly think of. Here it is more of a game, hoping that the next person will send and if they dont you will lose your money. The owners not running away with your funds and scamming you, he is simply running the game and if the ponzi is time limited, he takes the funds for profit and resets the game, and it is 100% transparent and no on is calling scam.

Hey! Can you please check https://skyhighpoker.co.uk ?
I hope it's ok  ;D

Is there such a thing about ponzi being legit or something forever? ???
Well, uh.. Good luck reviewing them then..

there is no legit ponzi, I dont know why some people tends to add legit in a ponzi scheme..

It'd be nice if the OP would add links to the ponzi's bitcointalk threads.

Here's the one for Weekly Ponzi: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=918471.0

Haha "trusted ponzi" just sounds hilarious.

Trust and Ponzi
in the same sentences
it's imposible
all ponzi's going to die in short time..

Though I don't really believe in "ponzi", I like this post and the approach.
It even tries to explain - to the few that actually read that - what would a "honest" ponzi operator do.
And in those term, it would be indeed "honest". But, as explained, a Ponzi will end, sooner or later, because of the lack of funds.

Now, we also know that most Ponzi operators will just find a best moment - when the funds are high enough - and run, because it's easier and because it's expected (!)
This post is also good to see what Ponzi pyramids are old - i.e. the chances for payout getting low.

Some would like to gamble a little and this info could be useful.
And .. it's marked correctly: it's not investment!
