Title: 1.75 bitcoins
Post by: gmashif on February 27, 2014, 06:09:16 AM
I'm giving away 1.75 bitcoins in seven days to everyone who votes on this post, divided evenly.
This post has at least 11 votes ($1024 ≈ 1.75 BTC).
In 7 days this post will be swept, and all the votes will be divided among the users who vote.

For the curious people, this is the "system":

    "Each vote costs $1.
    Each additional vote costs $2, $4, $8, $16, etc.
    After the end of a news cycle (one week), each voter gets $1 back. Any additional vote money is distributed as follows:
        10% to Tyger.
        10% to the original submitter.
        80% to each voter, divided evenly by the number of voters.
    It is free to submit and comment. Only voting requires a balance."

You can pay by BTC or by card at the registration... if you brave enough to give away such details (I wasn't...)

Edit: according to McAfee this site looks clean (or using some new kind of nasties).

How can you call it a Ponzi when it doesn't depend on new people? You shouldn't make accusations when you don't have any evidence! Did you read the paper?

Tyger is based on Quadratic Vote Buying [PDF].

Yeah, it's basically camouflaged ponzi.

When does this end?
On the site it was started on the 22nd so One would think it ended on the first, or today.

Why people wasting time designing this kind of sites, and wasting others time too
