This is obviously a ponzi. There will be a lot scammed in the end, be careful. I would advise to not put any money on this website. Withdrawals are possible now to earn trust so people put more money in.
Just imagine this... daily ROI is like 2%:
1000*1.02^356= 1152553
So after a $1.000 investment they would make $1.152.553 in 1 year. Do you think, if they have a magic formula to make that much money.. that they will put time into making this website for "investors"? Of course not.
Also just search on "btc-arbs.com" on google and you will find mostly HYIP, ponzi, "moneymaker", etc sites/forums since that's their target group (greedy idiots.)

That's odd, I can really connect and trade etc. Also: Users: 1415 Bots: 808
Maybe the maintenance was a server switch and they changed IPs which need a DNS update or something. That would theoretically explain why some people have to wait longer I think and for some it works already.

Well the idea about the "government theory" is basically: Maybe I'm insane but here's a possibility: A clear link was established between Silk Road and Mt. Gox. Significant portions of the cold wallet are now frozen. (Yes, the US still has a lot of pull in other countries eg Japan. Think Kim Dotcom. Plus Gox is a registered entity in the United States.)
Transaction Malleability did steal a portion of bitcoins, but not the insane 99.7% amount. Gox is now unable to refill their hot wallet due to the seizure. They are now aiming for an acquisition to cover the funds stolen by transaction malleability, however a gag order prevents Gox from disclosing exactly why the funds are missing, hence for the time being they blame it on Transaction Malleability.
Gox likely had a tiered system of "hot wallet", "cold wallet" and "coldest wallet". It's possible the US Gov took control of the "coldest wallet", which would contain the largest amount.
Gox is possibly now working on some type of 3-way full tilt poker style acquisition deal (Gox, new owners, US Gov) which will result in funds being returned plus a drop in pending charges (which could be sealed).
All pure speculation, but I'm curious as to if you guys can think of anything else that ties this theory together? http://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/1z2xo5/speculation_the_us_government_has_control_of_goxs/IMO there could be a possibility that this is true. Or maybe I just hope it's true because then the bitcoins are at least not permanently lost. |

This has been posted here before. This is not from MtGox but people who hope you open that virus attachment. Anyone can send an e-mail from any sender address so never believe that. Probably they got your e-mail from another bitcoin site leak.

20 days ago, Gonzague Gay-Bouchery (Manager Business Development, and Mark Karpeles right hand man) said this: Q8. Why doesn’t Gox prove they are solvent by transferring a large quantity of BTC between two internal wallets like Mark previously did. Then we can all check it out on the blockchain and be reassured?
• The overwhelming majority of BTC are held in cold storage. Logistically and legally in would be difficult to replicate the transfer “trick” Mark previously employed at Gox to prove their solvency.
Q9. Try me, how hard is it, what exactly is involved?
• Obviously I can’t go into too much detail for security reasons, but it would involve physically obtaining them from 6 or more locations. http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1x9gue/my_protest_at_mtgox_offices_5_to_7th_february/Which also implies that they are legally unable to transfer funds from the cold wallets. Obviously we shouldn't believe anything that anyone from MtGox says, but it's good to have all sources of info at least. |

So disputing the chargeback shouldn't be hard if you have a proper business going on. Please search a bit more through this forum. Many MANY MANY people have been scammed this way. Even legitimate businesses. PayPal doesn't care at all. You will be scammed. You will lose a lot of money. But if you still don't believe it.. good luck  edit: btw this problem is not completely limited to bitcoins, just read sites like www.paypalsucks.com But bitcoins are extra easy to scam for because u cannot chargeback a bitcoin, you have no physical address/info and PP will not help you with a dispute since it's against the TOS. |

The idea is that if someone really acts sketchy some people here are trying to prevent a scam, instead of adding neg trust after the scam (when the money is gone already.) Earlier this week there was a scammer that wanted to buy coins and also get a loan. I replied in that loan topic to warn everyone that it was looking really sketchy. After that he still managed to scam someone for BTC0.5. If I added neg. trust, then maybe I could have prevented that scam. I actually felt bad about it but yeh I wasn't 100% sure so didn't add neg. trust  So I guess maybe it is a good idea to add neg. trust when you are "only" 70% sure or whatever.. at least scams can be prevented. A neutral comment option as warning might be interesting too tho. BTW I do not know you or your posts, so I am not implying that you are a scammer, but I am sure Tomatocage thinks you acted sketchy and might be able to prevent scams like this. |

Because when they do a charge back on ebay or amazon, they will start a dispute. And with that, the seller can show a receipt of the shipment and the charge back will be cancelled again.
With bitcoins u cannot show a receipt like that. Better yet it's not allowed to sell "virtual items" like bitcoins so you will have no chance to get your money back.

No, scammers can and will do chargebacks after 6 months.

Another "brand new" "free hosting (ready to run away) wix" "5 minutes to set up" ponzi from a new random account.
YEEH.
At least buy a normal domain/hosting.
To all: don't be an idiot. Just ignore this "website". Thank you.

See other topic: Perhaps the allowed signature styling should change with activity score / membergroup. Like:
- Newbie: No styling (including links) allowed. Max 40 characters.
- Jr. Member: Links allowed. Max 100 characters.
- Member: Unlimited length.
- Full: Color allowed.
- Sr. Member: Size allowed
- Hero: Background color allowed
Then newbies will be less effective advertisers, which would hopefully significantly reduce the incentive for low-content posts. And when people become capable of effectively advertising through their signatures, they'll have invested a lot of time into their accounts, and they won't risk being banned by spamming.

Your TOS says this: Traffic Usage
All account plans come with a predetermined amount of traffic allowance. We monitor all accounts and bill $1.00 for each gig of traffic exceeded. https://www.servstrong.com/en/about-us/terms-of-service.htmlWhat is the "predetermined amount of traffic allowance" ? Maybe you could change the "unlimited" to that amount to make it a bit more .. clear. |
