What do you look for in a ponzi?

[Vortuarackne]

There has been a lot of talk recently about Ponzis; whether they belong in this section, if they're a scam or not etc.

Personally, I enjoy ponzis. Providing everyone knows exactly what it is, and what the eventual outcome will be, I have no problem in participating. My problem comes when it is sold as a "guaranteed" investment etc etc.

So, what I would like to know is, what do you look for in a ponzi; style\layout, automation, professionalism, transparency\transaction details etc?

There seems to be a lot of "fly-by-night" ponzis popping up and I think it would be good idea to get some sort of "framework" together which any reputable owner should aim to work towards, benefiting both the player and the owner.

Automatic and "small" investments.

I hate when people invest like 5 BTC when the majority only invest like 0.02 BTC. It's not the Ponzi owners fault that the Ponzi dies.. it's "your" fault guys.

Invest small, win small, win longer.

I would say search & read the ponzi scheme via google search, also search & read through what people say about that ponzi scheme in this forum.


Well, of course, be warned, if U read some +ve things about a scheme, still, that doesn't mean that the scheme is 100% safe.

U might need to pay the fees by invest in one, to learn the lesson about ponzi scheme. I learn my first lesson @ rbitco.in, I did not invest a lot, as I don't have a lot of BTC. Luckily, I have recovered 90% my invested fund from the site. But I have lost most of my invested BTC to Bitzino.com. about 1 BTC @ the time when the price is $35.

Right at the moment, I think the most reliable one, out of the current ponzi scheme is https://btc-arbs.com/referral/qwiner


If you want to try, I would recommend btc-arbs.com. Read this thread for more info. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=474787.msg5236555#msg5236555

To be honest, I just sift through the replies to the thread of the ponzi and try to find confirmations by ~50+ post members before I decide to invest.

Recently, the presentations of ponzi schemes have been very similar so this seems to be the most efficient method.

There are so many nowadays.  On one hand it pays to get in early but it could also be a scam.  So I'd want to see a ponzi lasting for a good few days with a lot of payouts, but also one that is gaining momentum, and not just from people on this board.
