I would like to confess that most cloud mining ponzi schemes and HYIP schemes were programmed/developed/scripted by me. I really don't feel proud of it.
I would like to add that I never took part in any of the schemes or received extra bitcoins.
I would be approached by an individual to create a site. I would give a price, make the site, get paid. I needed to support my family. After a few months I had a feeling that some sites were being used for "ponzi" operations. But I sat back and done nothing (This is why I feel guilty). I want to make things right somehow, But I really don't know the figures that these sites made and whether they were ponzi schemes or not. I believe most of them were looking back.
I haven't created any scripts in a few months now. But I still see people reselling them.
What can I do to help this situation? I love the community and I love Bitcoin. I really didn't want to impact on the community like I have.
1) You seem to have a big ego that needs feeding, this is not a good personality trait.
2) You feel guilty, this means you might have a conscience. Do bad, feel bad. Do good, feel good.
3) There are many programmers out there, I doubt you produced a fraction of these scripts.
4) If it's true, which I doubt, then you created the tools that facilitated fraud. You definitely "took part" because these sites are built from the ground up with no basis for earning *profit*.
5) If you want to do something to feel better: help people stop falling for them - make a scam prevention site.
