i was interested in seeing how some of these schemes worked / if they worked.Been depositing the minimum in a few different ones. So far i have had 0 payouts. The only one i know that is ok is WeeklyPonzi. However, even that has it's flaws. Most of it's traffic comes on the first day of reset (obviously) . Though in my opinion, i've had enough experience(and lost a fair bit of BTC too) in these schemes now to know that someone who knows how to code - well - could make a very legit site which combines some of the recent most successful ideas and turn it into something great. Times like these i wish i had the time to learn hehe. But , these copies and scams need to stop and they will.
I think the fun about ponzis is that you never really know if it's a scam or not. So you test the waters, and if you see the system is working fine you can play a bit you wouldn't care to lose. I guess that's the thrill. Some people also take advantage, since you don't just "lose" like dice, but rather wait a little longer to most likely get it back.
It's hard to tell a legitimate ponzi runner from one who is in it solely for the money.
