Smells to me like episode 548: An Attempt to discredit Dooglus post from a certain -2024 trust member.

In the context of a year ago, Ponzi schemes that openly stated, like this one, the way in which they worked, i.e. later players ran the risk of losing their money to pay for the earlier players profits, were seen as a different animal to conventional ponzi scams that lied and said "We forex/arbitrage/whatever and you can make X% a day for ever".
Dooglus states this quite clearly in his feedback and it was the forum's acceptance of 'last in loses' type games that were upfront about it that led to the establishment of the "Investor Games" section.

Nothing to see here, just REVENGE.

Hi GG, how's the basement Ponzi crew?

Full disclosure (not that you'll believe me): I have one alt that has posted four times, never about cloud mining.
Transparency: Cryptodevil has given me a positive trust and we have swapped a handful of pm's. He likes the background work I did on Cryptory, BitcoinTrader, Esoteric Investments, PB, Cryptomine.io, Cloudthink, MMM clones and recently BitcoinNetwork.
All of which turned out to be failed scams, apart from BCN which is still raking in the moolah because of its MLM momentum.

Talking of full disclosure and transparency, that's where your beloved Cloudmining.website fails miserably in its attempt to be seen as anything but a probable ponzi.
The only evidence there is of it actually existing is a website and some blockchain transactions. Nothing else whatsoever.

Ironically, the thing that turns me from "probable" to "highly likely" is your dull and unimaginative shilling. I know you only have a little material to work with, Tx's and that laughable CMMonitor, but you are stereotypical of the way old skool scam shills work, repetitive, ad hominem and dogged.

CD has answered above why one "cloudminer" raises enough questions to be considered a likely scam and not others.

Incidentially, it seems to me that the Admins of CMW have recently probably had a basement policy meeting to try and increase the income from this rather dull ponzi.
Subjects started in Meta, posing as legit queries but actually just more half assed 'get the name out there as misunderstood' posting, and also the way in which just one member, legendary Dexter770221, has just recently started to report amazing increases in payments.
Not for a moment suggesting that he is part of your little band of alts/shills, but a clever way to attempt legitimacy, throw a few Sats at your most reputable 'investor'.
Fail for me though.
See you around.

And welcome to AOL, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=317980  the latest member of the CM.website fan club/basement crew.
Recently activated 2014 newb account, with two posts so far, both about CMW, both in VK's long running shill thread


Sound familiar?

AOL....Alex On Line?

Found another one
 







Sorry.....

If the site operator says something like "This is a game based on the Ponzi principle that later players' money pays earlier players' profits. The game will go on until new money coming in dries up, meaning the last players will lose"
then I personally, don't see a problem.

If the site operator says something like "We are a team of experts in Bitcoin since 2010 trading in Forex, arbitrage and cloudmining. We guarantee a 20% per week profit.... "
then I do see a problem.

Scamming is about lying. If you wouldn't trust people irl life who are probably lying, why would you send them your money just because BTC?

Yes I agree, it's a pretty unique and self contained subject that doesn't fit in Services very well.
You could also make it a rule for all sig campaigns that that's the only place you can post and get paid for too.
Well, you keep spam in its own can irl, don't you?
 

No 'something' about it.
Bad grammar and spelling, unrealistic amount, scammers aren't what they used to be.
 

Are you sure you want your e mail in public?

    

(j/k)

You quoted me to disagree with, when we're saying the same thing.... 

I beg to differ.
Multi level marketing had its legitimate heyday a long time ago when it was the most cost effective way of setting up a bona fide sales and distribution network in pre WW2 America.
Since then it has become a parasite's paradise with the main focus on internal profiteering thru its recruiting and commission aspect, often with the actual goods or services that are offered just being an excuse for the referral structure.
Some of the biggest day to day scams in the world are MLM based and they have reached the same level as organised crime, in that the industry has become so rich off the back of the gullible that they can buy legislative influence and the best lawyers. See Amway.

Although Bitcoin is a medium which is a MLM scammers dream (see my sig), it in no way resembles affiliate marketing/pyramid schemes structurally.

And that's 21stC Earth, ruled by the new Holy Trinity of Clicks, Ad Revenue and Zerocontent.
Embrace the horror.

You are talking out of your ass.

Oh, Yobit signature....that explains 270 crap posts in a month.

I found this from the Meta thread started by coldblooded and now the Scam Accusations thread from knightdk
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1204614.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1205470.0

Sorry to read about this, sounds like a good site gone sour for strange reasons....why would anyone neglect a popular, presumably profitable idea, even if they were rolling in BTC? More profitable to sell it than rob it?
From thebitcoinstrip 

Why would Cryptofuture put 80+% of his hodling into one pot and then neglect it?

Both Cryptofuture and oldmate make several references to being really busy with other stuff.
Apart from oldminer's review thread https://thebitcoinstrip.com/ (which also looks unmaintained) does anyone have an idea of what these other interests were?

If things just stopped completely now, no more payments, what sort of losses are you guys looking at?

tldr:
Op tries moneypot, discovers game is rigged after losing $25
OP not happy

OP tries Diggit.io, loses $12 when admin goes awol
OP not happy

OP decides 2+2=5 and decides it's all BITCOINTALK'S FAULT



Sympathy for your loss of ~$37, but isn't the reaction slightly ott?

---

Nobody has bothered to do this with Diggit.io, the main reason for OP's wrath, which is showing all the signs of being abandoned by its admin (and suffering major withdrawal problems) Cryptofuture (quite apt name, seeing as he appears to have been thinking ahead)  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=165520
and accomplice oldmate (another apt name for Diggit #1 Investor) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=401759
who apparently impressed one of our Hero members enough to inspire
"This person deserve my complete trust"
If you read the thread there's a few Heros who don't really look very heroic, in hindsight....
Funny world the gambling scene, lending in troll boxes; Satoshi would be proud.

Anyway, I have left negative for the two of them so far, only mine won't make much difference but should be done by DT member really.
If they have run off with the amounts talked about, they won't be selling the accounts or using them again but still, we got to show we care, don't we?

So, you'll be one of the poor side of the Soros' family then?
 

This is still a useful thread, not completely up to date, but certainly gives an idea about what to look for and how few 'legit' operations there ave been compared to scams

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=878387.1380

I think it's fair to chalk that up as a win for this forum, without us kicking their ass they would have stolen a lot more money.

No, you're thinking of Cloudminr.io.
CloudThink was an ambitious scam run by incompetents that started off selling cloud mining that wasn't cloud mining, then posed as a farm selling off S5's dirt cheap, then invented a vaperware machine called "Impersonator" or some such.
Burnt their seed money and ran away.

They turned out to be less than honest.

Is that why you traded with him in particular?
Because you expected some green numbers under your name from his trust rating?
