If they keep paying the "winners" and can avoid serious downtime, then they are a unique, semi-ponzi, game/"what is it exactly?", but if downtime makes it impossible for people to break even, then it is much more scammy.

I don't think the standard faucet is a scam---But the upgrades
seem very scammy. I tried the faucet and received a payout.

I'm confident this will turn out to be a ponzi scheme, but if you invest nothing apart time then don't see a problem!

They are most possibly standard ponzi scheme scam and in moment they take enough, they will dissapear with user coins.

If you invest nothing, you can't withdraw. The minimum withdrawal is 0.01 BTC which is bigger than your maximum balance is you don't deposit.

It's a scam. The OP of the btc-flow thread says that everyone is able to double their coins which is obviously not true.

Yes, it is! Also looks at the -ve trust feedback of the user running it: alarm bell start ringing. Stay away from this fraud.

Yes I personally wouldn't even invest my time in something like this, but now you have pointed out you have to invest btc to withdraw its almost certainly a scam.

Investing any btc into this would be stupid or desperate to say the least! Problem is there are plenty of stupid/desperate people about  :(
