Title: [June 10th, 2015] Ponzis Explained w/ Analysis & Ratings
Post by: Gantz on May 18, 2015, 10:18:51 AM
Hi all and Welcome to Ponzis Explained w/ Analysis & Ratings!


INTRODUCTION

What is this!?
This is a weekly analitic thread about ponzis and HYIPs running on this subforum. Where i will try to rate them as neutral as possible, even better if your help.

Why do you do this!?
Basically because I like share my thought processes and my experience about them (crypto versions, not real money ones). And also to help the newbies to fall in obvious scams. (neither a ponzi, just a "collect&runaway")

Oh ok...But who are you!?
I'm a long time lurker of this subforum, and yes... sometimes, very rarely, I have invested on them.

Why are you wasting your time with them? They're all scams!
Yes and No, Yes because 99% of the time they haven't a real business behind them or owners runs away quickly with all funds, and No because even if they haven't a real business behind them, some ponzi/HYIP (not all) can be profitable if you exploit it and understand how it works. I consider these just a gambling game with a potential good edge.

Ok, after this little introduction we can start!



WEEKLY TOPICS

#1 Trasparency: Why is the most important factor to be considered before make an "investment".

The system's trasparency is very important, and in my experience the first thing to look, for trasparency I mean:

- If website description is true (we make financial investements...NO, we are a ponzi...OK);
- If website stats are all showed and public (balance, total investment, total paid, all in&out transactions and not just last 100 for example) and this is the "key" to understand if join the system or not;
- If the system is manipulated (fake transactions are the most important indicator of very risky website, and also the most common practice used).

#2 Longevity: It's extremely important knowing how to estimate how much can HYIPs runs. Factors to be considered:

- How many days did it start?
- Their offers/plans are too high?
- How much effort they were put into their project?
- There is a good general interest in the project?
- The owner has already had other projects? How he behaved in the past?



WEEKLY TIPS

#1 Never be greedy, one good investment can be much better than ten bad investments, be patient, wait an opportunity... and push!

#2 Stay informed, learn to identify owners, they can change nick but not their habits and sometimes even if the system seems good to invest, the greediness of the owner brings to close the project prematurely.



RATINGS *Updated to June 10th, 2015 - All ratings can change in the future.

Risk: It's referred to the actual risk to join the system on last update.
Gantz Rating: It's a changeable global vote that include my wish to join at the last update, basically a site can be rated 7/10 at the start and only 1/10 when I think that he will die soon.

CONSIDERATIONS: They want big fishes, see their plans. In fact I considered only the dailys, other plans are just insanely high. Not transparent, can be easily manipulated. Potential longevity is compromised due to possibility to run away after that some big fish join. Their effort in the project can be considered a good thing.

I like this, are you going to keep it up? By the title and first post usage, I'm thinking you are going to make a new thread for each week. I hope not, as I will not be able to find it then.

Keep up the good work! Hopefully you can figure out a better format here so each two don't look so much together.

Some problems, this post is crazy formatted.  :o

They are just my opnions and my thought processes. And I like share them and discuss with you all about it.
I haven't made it for money. And I think that if I will be "corrupted" should be easy exploitable. :)

The idea was that, a thread every week and current systems will be all updated on the newest thread.

Btw your suggestion is very interesting. I can update just this thread...mmmm should be better!

Thanks! ;)

 Lack of trasparency is a very big leak. This seems the classical short term ponzi where only super early investors can make a profit.

 Reason: In just 2 days they have raised maximum from 0.25 to 2.50, this can be a strong indicator of a greedy collecting attempt, the end may come soon.

Why is CryptoHours 0/10 and considered "short"?
I've put a lot of time and effort providing quality support for our investors, and we are a soon to be registered company. We only chose the look we have as it is familiar and comfortable for investors.
We are completely transparent, we provide as much information as we can and all addresses are public on the blockchain.
Maximums raise in regard to how much profit we make per day, it has nothing to do with collecting as much as we can or we would just set it to unlimited.

From what it seems, you are a HYIP owner yourself and you are rating sites you own highly and your competition 0/10.

Unfortunately real HYIP investor don't join cryptohours like programs, it means you are going to have a lack of investors sooner or later, you are probably wondering why?
Easy mate, most of your investors mainly come from bitcointalk only. We also know that programs like that don't run for over 1 month max (because is totally unsustainable), it means that investors when will be in profit won't reinvest any cent... It's not safe for them.
The concept was good months ago but now, and you already ran many Ponzi schemes like this. Stop it now and code something original because you can't steal all bitcointalk user's money  :o
With the software you have in your hands you can create better and bigger things  ;D
HIGH RISK APPROVED.

48% of your initial deposit....
It takes 2 days and 2 hours to earn just your original deposit back and then another 2 days and 2 hours for your profit.
You are reading it wrong.
The fact you rated us 1/10 annoys me as we have paid over 13,500 times, and have not missed a single payment. Right now over 15BTC has been paid and only 9BTC has been invested. That means 6BTC has just come out of no where? No, this is our profit from trading.
No, we cannot be emperor of the earth. It is easier to make $1 than it is $10000. There is a point where earning gets harder. The max we will accept is 10BTC if the profit goes that high in the future.
Stop assuming and stop accusing. This thread is junk and promotes scams. You are one of the hyip owners, because if you weren't you would post from a reputable and reliable BCT account. You did not just join this forum and do such a good deed for the community there is a reason behind it.

You are wrong, I rated you 0/10 atm, btw this vote (as explained in the first post) "It's a global vote that include my wish to join". For example if i had rated it at the start this vote would be more high. Your system WAS a really good opportunity in the early stage.

Unfortunately real HYIP investor don't join cryptohours like programs, it means you are going to have a lack of investors sooner or later, you are probably wondering why?

Then this https://blockchain.info/address/1MZjMKya7BczKeaNVxygxzBMb1PvvoXSQf is the address where In&Out transactions converge?

Btw I really would see In&Out transactions for every player/bet in the queue in home, this should give to the system a good level of trasparency. :)

Seems so...

Like Dice sites, this game is also played from site wallet, i.e. off-chain. This enables us to earn referral commission, which is not possible on blockchain based games.

Following are list of withdrawals from site wallet to player's addresses. These are different from the returned amount in the game. There are days when no player requested for a withdrawal.

Suggestion: I think you should sort your list in the decreasing order of Gantz rating in OP.

Then this https://blockchain.info/address/1MZjMKya7BczKeaNVxygxzBMb1PvvoXSQf is the address where In&Out transactions converge?

Seems so...

Btw I really would see In&Out transactions for every player/bet in the queue in home, this should give to the system a good level of trasparency. :)

Like Dice sites, this game is also played from site wallet, i.e. off-chain. This enables us to earn referral commission, which is not possible on blockchain based games. Hence each bet can not be represented by blockchain Tx. In fact, the operator clearly stated that on www.crazyponzi.com/proof.php.

 Considerations:
 They want big fishes, see their plans. In fact I considered only the dailys, other plans are just insanely high. Not transparent, can be easily manipulated. Potential longevity is compromised due to possibility to run away after that some big fish join. Their effort in the project can be considered a good thing.

 Reason: After a little discussion in this thread I agreed that their effort into the project can be considered a good thing. Also a signal that they don't go away so quckly.

I'm not against you and I don't own dr-bitcoin.com but I don't agree with your conclusions regards to Dr. Bitcoin.
You didn't even mention they are using custom script, unique template, registered a company, bought EV SSL certificate, bought BlackLotus DDoS protected server, bought many monitors already etc.
We don't know if it is a Ponzi scheme but this is actually paying for 38 days and I didn't see any complaint till now!
Now I seriously started to think that you have something to do with CrazyPonzi somehow because, being a HYIP investor since 2011, I can't accept to see a program who already invested AT LEAST $5,000 receiving such low rating. Well, it's your thread I know but the problem is that you are discouraging potential investors to take part in these big projects.
IMHO CrazyPonzi is a dead program from the day one because nobody cares of these "Ponzi games" anymore, this trend is out-of-date-guys. They might be profitable at start for first investors/players but then they all become mousetraps, where you have to pay off yourself (giving to admin X% of your deposited amount everytime) to be able to "save yourself". I don't see any big investment made from CrazyJoker, and the even worse no advertising! (free and paid, both)

When you look at a new HYIP, two are things you need to look at: admin's investment and concept.

UPDATE: added some info.

I can understand your point of view, but if some big fish join? What happens? And their concept seems made to do it. Also their "Top Investors" list on the website can be easily fake. However yes, probably they deserves a better rating.

This thread was born mostly for this! Discuss! :)

HYIPs are profitable only for clever investors, those with enough knowledge to know that should never invest in the plans that seem "too good to be true".
All those programs usually use same popular scripts which are based on E-Wallets (Perfect Money, Payeer, EgoPay etc.), so tell me how they can prove deposits are true? No way to do so if not doing a screenshot of their account balances, but even these may be fake.
Regards to withdrawals you can verify yourself on HYIP monitors, forums related to HYIPs, social networks and so on. There are always investors shouting their payouts, and this is good for both parts (program and investors).
Usually admins skip the big fishes (= scam) because they would harm their beloved program, imagine one entering with $5,000 and then leaving the program with $7,000... No way!
But who would listen to an idiot shouting SCAM saying he had lost thousands of dollars? No one!
Hopefully we still have honest admins returning back the deposits to their respective owners, since they aren't able to handle such amounts. Actually, there's a HYIP called Cryptoconomist which is paying big fishes with no efforts, you would say it's unbelievable but one of my skilled friends already invested $1,000 there and he's now reached ROI.
For some reasons I wouldn't invest more than $500 in Dr. Bitcoin, obviously in first plan only  :)

Hi, I'm trying to make at least 2 Ratings per day and keep updated all the others, it's not easy but I will do my best. :)

Guys you can help a lot if you reported here when "something happens" , for example when some site stops to pay or a new site comes out.

Admin's investment is too low, probably around $300, and program's concept is now out of date.
Now please focus on the investment made for this HYIP: template in use is probably old and looks like to be for a fast scam, their advertising is very very low in fact admin didn't even promoted on HYIP forums (very weird). Last thing, they got only 0.5 BTC and that's not good. This is very high risky program.

P.S. QUESTION: What do you think if I add "Status" item in my ratings? Status can be EARLY, MID or LATE, this should
represent which moment we are in the life of the system.

Do not see any change in your rating so far. I wonder how come scams like Bit-Protect.com, Dr-Bitcoin.com, PerfectProfit.biz, StableBit.biz get similar or higher Gantz rating than CrazyPonzi.com or Nine9.ninja !!!

Hi, I think there is a bit of misunderstanding. This thread was born to exploit ponzis, understanding them and get a benefit. We know that they run away in the end 99% of the time. :)

And personally, it's not different to put any sum of btc on roulette, for example. You can lose but you know what are you doing.

There isn't a rule about gambling > ponzi/hyip in terms of profit.

Back to CrazyPonzi, actually, I don't think that is more profitable now than ponzis that you said, by the way:

"Gantz Rating is changeable and is included my wish to join the system, basically a site can be rated 7/10 at the start and only 1/10 when I think that he will die soon.".

For example when CrazyPonzi queue will be more short or empty my ratings will change for sure.

About CrazyPonzi "trasparency" yes, this can change now (I will do later) but not too much, in fact this system can be manipulated easy by changing DB records. For example how I know that that bet is real (paid in BTC)? What I saw are just records.

I hope the situation is more clear. :)

The problem is not CrazyPonzi but the concept of a Ponzi game that isn't profitable enough and no more attractive, as I said this trend is out of date right now.
Admins have no chance to make one running for long time in this period in fact I would reccomend you all to stop wasting your time trying to do so.
Actually this is the best period to run a good HYIP or invest your funds in a HYIP, but keep in mind the golden period is gonna end on "Black December"  ::)
So, best time to run an UNIQUE Ponzi game is only in certain periods  8)

Some days ago I deposited 0.1 BTC on 5starBTC and received back 0.12 BTC in a couple of hours (120% profit) but then I left because I knew it was going to collapse again but this time faster than last time. Now just go and check their transactions list  ;D
I would only invest in new HYIPs with great investment from admin, stable incomes and possibly with real revenue behind. Or just stick to classic big HYIPs like cryptoconomist.biz  ;)
But please keep in mind: Ponzi scheme, forex and stocks investments or shit like that... They can all scam or collapse  ::)

What determines risk since it seems that so far there are only two risks, High and extremely high

Many factors, Risk can be: EXTREMELY LOW - VERY LOW - LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH - VERY HIGH - EXTREMELY HIGH

It's not my fault if 95% of these HYIPs are just trash or owers are too greedy. It's not easy to find a good HYIP with low risk here...Owners seems a bit new/noob to HYIP concept in general. :)


Btw new weekly insights!


NEW WEEKLY TOPIC

#2 Longevity: It's extremely important knowing how to estimate how much can HYIPs runs. Factors to be considered:

- How many days did it start?
- Their offers/plans are too high?
- How much effort they were put into their project?
- There is a good general interest in the project?
- The owner has already had other projects? How he behaved in the past?


NEW WEEKLY TIP

#2 Stay informed, learn to identify owners, they can change nick but not their habits and sometimes even if the system seems good to invest, the greediness of the owner brings to close the project prematurely.

Hi all and Welcome to Ponzis Explained w/ Analysis & Ratings!


INTRODUCTION

What is this!?
This is a weekly analitic thread about ponzis and HYIPs running on this subforum. Where i will try to rate them as neutral as possible, even better if your help.

Why do you do this!?
Basically because I like share my thought processes and my experience about them (crypto versions, not real money ones). And also to help the newbies to fall in obvious scams. (neither a ponzi, just a "collect&runaway")

Oh ok...But who are you!?
I'm a long time lurker of this subforum, and yes... sometimes, very rarely, I have invested on them.

Why are you wasting your time with them? They're all scams!
Yes and No, Yes because 99% of the time they haven't a real business behind them or owners runs away quickly with all funds, and No because even if they haven't a real business behind them, some ponzi/HYIP (not all) can be profitable if you exploit it and understand how it works. I consider these just a gambling game with a potential good edge.

Ok, after this little introduction we can start!



WEEKLY TOPICS

#1 Trasparency: Why is the most important factor to be considered before make an "investment".

The system's trasparency is very important, and in my experience the first thing to look, for trasparency I mean:

- If website description is true (we make financial investements...NO, we are a ponzi...OK);
- If website stats are all showed and public (balance, total investment, total paid, all in&out transactions and not just last 100 for example) and this is the "key" to understand if join the system or not;
- If the system is manipulated (fake transactions are the most important indicator of very risky website, and also the most common practice used).

#2 Longevity: It's extremely important knowing how to estimate how much can HYIPs runs. Factors to be considered:

- How many days did it start?
- Their offers/plans are too high?
- How much effort they were put into their project?
- There is a good general interest in the project?
- The owner has already had other projects? How he behaved in the past?



WEEKLY TIPS

#1 Never be greedy, one good investment can be much better than ten bad investments, be patient, wait an opportunity... and push!

#2 Stay informed, learn to identify owners, they can change nick but not their habits and sometimes even if the system seems good to invest, the greediness of the owner brings to close the project prematurely.



RATINGS *Updated to June 10th, 2015 - All ratings can change in the future.

Risk: It's referred to the actual risk to join the system on last update.
Gantz Rating: It's a changeable global vote that include my wish to join at the last update, basically a site can be rated 7/10 at the start and only 1/10 when I think that he will die soon.
