We have just released our advertising system.  Go to http://cryptopyramid.com/ads to learn more about our innovative and fair approach to advertising!

We are looking to add advertisements to our website!  What does everything think?  Is there anyone who would be interested in buying an advertisement right away, or what're everyone's thoughts?

We've added Twitter!  Check us out at http://twitter.com/CryptoPyramid!

On the Member and Register pages, we've added Tweet buttons.  When you sign up or view your account, you have the easy option to Tweet to your bitcoin friends and get more referrals!  We hope that people use this option!

Again, please read how the Pyramid works before blindly investing.  You don't immediately get something back.  By investing, you increase your chances of getting something back.  Read our rules for more information regarding how our system works.

It's been a big day for CryptoPyramid!  We had the largest growth in our Pyramid yet, and it looks like it's going strong.

We have just made one final change!  We changed the payout threshold from 0.05 BTC to 0.01 BTC.  We did this for two reasons: people like to see payouts, even if they're small; and because it lowers the amount of money we store in our wallets, so it makes us even less hackable.
One thing to keep in mind regarding withdrawals is that when your account reaches >0.01 BTC, only 50% of that is sent to you (the other 50% is redistributed).  So that means that the minimum you'll get paid to your wallet is not 0.01, but 0.005 BTC.

Another friendly reminder to add your referral link to your signature on BitcoinTalk so that you continue to earn!  Let's build this Pyramid together!

Our team currently doesn't have the time or resources to set up the whole Facebook and Twitter thing that a lot of websites have going, but we do actively encourage that people share us with their friends (so that they get more money from their referrals)!

That's great that you have faith in us!  We appreciate it.  The problem is just getting relatively inexpensive advertising means. 

If you have the experience, please do advertise us for yourself on adbit.co, because you're making 49% of what other people deposit.  I'm surprised nobody has done this by now!

Site Name: CryptoPyramid (http://cryptopyramid.com)
BitcoinTalk URL: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=991966
Status: Paying

We are a brand new pyramid, but we hope to build up a solid reputation.  We are currently paying, as many of the members on our BitcoinTalk post can attest to.  We are very transparent to allow people to view our backend information.  We hope that you'll put us in your "Paying" section, as that's the status that fits us best!

Thanks,
The CryptoPyramid Team

I'm sorry you had a negative experience, although that is exactly how the website is designed to work.  I believe you have misunderstood something.

When you deposit, you're not getting a payout.  You're increasing your chances of getting someone else's deposits (this is all explained in the Rules page).  So now if you stick with it, there's about a 1 in 40 chance (mental math based on the size of your deposit) that you'll get someone else's deposit (so it'll take 40ish deposits, and then you'll get paid from one of theirs).  So just wait, and maybe invest more if you'd like to see your chances grow. 

If that's not what you meant, please clarify.  If there is a bug, please elaborate so that our team can fix the problem!

Thanks,
The CryptoPyramid Team

I'd be into doing that, how do i go about getting that many views? It would help the Pyramid so much!

Do you know anywhere we could advertise the Pyramid in general, or we could advertise single referral links?

Hello everyone,
I am currently in the process of deciding whether or not to lower the payout threshold.  My thought is that a threshold of 0.01 BTC will ensure that everyone is paid rightfully, and that even smaller investments get paid.  Besides the creation of small amounts in your wallet, can anyone think of a reason I should not make this change?

Thanks for everyone's advice!
The CryptoPyramid Team

30 cents is not a lot, and there's a very limited chance that you'll get picked for a payout (that's not to say it won't happen, it's just lower than if you have deposited a lot).  Looking at the stats, the largest deposit is almost 1 BTC, which makes them approximately 1000 times more likely to get a payout than you.  If you want to increase your chances, deposit more.

That's great that you're enjoying it!  We're stunned at how fast it's growing, and how we can keep it going like this.

Thanks for the suggestions, for now I think we'll keep it the way it is and just allow people to deposit amounts < $1 so that they can test us out and prove our trustworthiness, and then they can deposit greater amounts as they feel fit.

We're a site to keep your eye on, as we're just starting out!  One day, we'll be giant! 

That's something that I'll look into.  I haven't considered that possibility, but it is a viable option.  It won't be implemented right away, but I do plan on experimenting with it.  2 BTC is just about the max we predict we'll ever have to hold on to because everything ends up being withdrawn upon large deposits.  Our cold storage system is secure, so it should not be worried about.

I know that it's hard to trust us.  We're literally brand new and haven't been around for more than a week.  However, we hope that a bunch of people will test us out with small amounts, and eventually we'll be trusted when more people review and comment, building to our reputation.  Generally Pyramids have bad reps, but we really want to set ourselves apart!

While there are many other alternatives available online, this is the best.  CryptoPyramid.com allows for increased luck, as well as a solid guarantee that if you invest a lot, you get paid a lot.  It's luckier in that you get a large amount of bitcoin if someone deposits a large amount.  Our system isn't broken up the same as many other Bitcoin Pyramids.

Our website looks suspiciously similar to BitcoinPyramid.com.  However, we have totally redesigned ours from scratch (only parts of the HTML/CSS were borrowed because it is easier than starting from scratch on basic layouts), as we felt we could do a better job with our explanations.  We also changed some of the underlying parameters and how funds are distributed to allow for a greater profit for users, as well as to introduce more luck into the website.

Here are some features:

• No password, email address, or other personal information required
• No limitations on hierarchy depth or number of referrals
• No limitations on required deposit (you can start with 0 BTC!)
• 49% of money goes to your sponsor/referrer, 49% goes to a random member, and 2% goes to the Pyramid as a maintenance fee
• New members do not have to follow referral links - they simply become a referral of a random member
• Automatic payouts when income hits the threshold (0.05 BTC - lower than most Pyramids)
• All the Pyramid Info is published on the site to ensure that we cannot do anything dishonest
• Everything is automatic and transparent, so there is almost nothing to hack, and nothing we can steal from you
• We keep bitcoin amounts greater than 1 BTC in cold storage to ensure we cannot be hacked

We hope that you consider signing up and depositing!  If you have any question regarding monetary distribution or why you should deposit, view our rules page!

Even though we are in a stable release, any bug reports are still hugely appreciated!  We sure hope that nobody submits anything (because our coders are just that great), but we will always listen to suggestions, and will tip users accordingly.

Before all of you start crying SCAM SCAM, just know that it is not a scam.  A scam would mean that we give you a deposit address, and we just take your money and run.  As you can see with all the published information on our website, we are fully legit.  We don't just take people's money and run, we ensure that everyone who deserves a payout gets a payout.  We hope you enjoy!

Update:
We have just released a Dogecoin pyramid at Doge.Cryptopyramid.com for all the shibes out there.  If it is positively received, we will implement a Litecoin version as well!
