Bitcoin Forum

Hello I found this new site is http://bitcoin-source.net I wanted to know if it is the classic scam site, thanks

It is just another ponzi...

in what sense? no because I would like to invest but I wanted an opinion.

What do you mean by "in what sense"?

It is a ponzi because it works exactly like a ponzi.
The money you deposited is used to pay the people joined early.
If there are enough people joined after you, you will get paid. If not, you will not. ;)

no I meant to say if the site "pays", you've tried it?

No idea.


Nope, I don't play any ponzi/hyip.

ok, maybe before you try it look more answers, even I do not trust a lot of these sites.

how to identify a ponzi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=100696.0
the site only if you have paid us going, otherwise it breaks

COPY of emails I sent them:

"Hi:I have NOT been paid! SCAM? If it is, I'll post it on FORUMS:
My Bitcoin address is:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxsnHotnXu31xxxxxxx - In queue, it was: amount: 0.0222 - date: 03.06.14  00:54. And now, top of queue, you find: 03.06.14 06:40. Maybe, I was naive, but I thought you were anonymous who had managed to create new bitcoins!!!
If you are NOT scammers, have a good day!
Henry"

OK, if I am paid, I'll EDIT THIS POST!!! I'll write: OK, I have been paid!!!

I think all ponzis are scams by their very nature/definition. If they're not a scam straight from the get-go someone will get scammed eventually as they can't keep going forever.

Don't be tempted by them. They're just get rich quick schemes but are usually just lose money fast schemes.

agree 100%, dont let greed cloude your judgement

That's how these scams sucker people in. It's quite scary how greed overcomes peoples judgement.

Fee been charged 0.0001 is not high guys, other low rate.

Thanks

This site is a classic pyramid scheme. Even if it is legitimate, some people will win and most people will lose.

Sorry, what are you talking about here? ???

http://www.publicdomainregistry.com is just a domain registrar and have nothing to do with the ponzi site. Also, I can access the site...

OK, it was offline yesterday. Online today. I know it has nothing to do with the scam, but it seemed a bit fishy!

10 people left in queue. http://bitcoin-source.net/index.php?nav=row (http://bitcoin-source.net/index.php?nav=row)  They were hundreds of them 3 days ago and all have been scammed.

For me also it looks like scam

I think if you visit today, you will find "Resource Limit Reached" message. Because 9 out of 10 "games" like this are hosted on potatoes.

It's NOT drying up! 10 people on queue yesterday. 20 today: http://bitcoin-source.net/index.php?nav=row (http://bitcoin-source.net/index.php?nav=row) Or maybe the bitcoin addresses are fake!

Guys it's a scam!!! today i sent 0.01 BTC and don't see my wallet in the queue!! i wrote some letters from different addreses but still not have any answer!! i wrote at the bitcoin-source@yandex.ru which i found here in this topic but nobody answer!
so 0.01 not a lot to loose and i advice you DO NOT INVOLVE!!  >:(

Another thing to remember is that the people that are greedy or stupid enough to put money into a pyramid scheme are the easiest to scam -- and scammers know this.

before tell at people "you are stupiid" you must think good mate!! 8) ponzi sistem work for people who went early and if you can "feel the moment" you can earn a lot of money!  i know the people who did millions with MMM in Russia and other examples but take the money and do nothing as bitcoin-source.net it's a simple scam! so when i did transaction i was ready for possibility to loose if "ponzi" going down, if you want earn without do nothing you must risk!!  For organize REAL  WORKING ponzi you must be realy smart ant if it work it earn for many people, not for organizer only! so i loose only 0.01 but i wrote this "opinion" and now people know IT'S A SCAM!
who don't trust can control here http://bitcoin-source.net/index.php?nav=row
i did transaction from 1BVPg21wp2y64ZRQig1J235EaNsccNm1qH 
so if you think i did well when i wrote this topic and i save your BTC you can donate at my wallet  ;D

I put in 0.01 also and I didn't even get ADDED to the queue :(  But 0.01 was just a minimum test, still disappointed but accepted the risk.  I've sent many emails with no response.  If something changes I'll fire back here.

Justdoubleit has been good so far, I sent them 0.01 from a coinbase wallet and it failed their system, I got in touch in this forum and then refunded my 0.001 (minimum at the time which is now 0.01) AND doubled it just for the hassle!!!  Thanks to them :)

DON'T use this site. A lot of ppl here reported that they lost they money. As one before said, panzi is ok if you're on the top, but the later you join the bigger chance you have to lose the money you have.

Isn't too early to mark them as scammers? Maybe they have some technical issue we don't know.
I won't bet a cent on this btw, just asking.

Not sure if it is an "issue" or not, but you shouldn't play in any ponzi at all IMO.

A scam.

Offline (permanently this time?). Looks like suspicions confirmed.

It was taken offline a few months ago if I'm correct.

http://bitcoin-source.net/ is no longer operational.
