to the first 2500 members.

The website: https://probitcoin.in/

 First 2500 members get gift: 0.05BTC
 FREE Cloud Mining multiple GHS
 Earn Up To 0.001BTC per click
 Earn Up To 0.0005BTC per Referral click
 No Investement Required!
 Online High Income FREE Bitcoin
 More Business Plan
 Low Withdraw Minimum: 0.1BTC

That all sounds too good to be true so I am curious about their angle. I used a password I have never used before just in case the plan was to farm passwords. I would thnink that or at some point they will ask for everyone to download something which will steal all of the wallets they have.

I have seen this posted around the internet so thought it was worth asking where people who see bitcoin scams more often would notice something.

That all seems way too much earnings for nothing so is there a common scam in this trying to catch new people that anyone notices?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

Registering and earning .05 BTC, but can't withdraw until .1 BTC. Looks like it'll take a lot of referring...

Click fraud is illegal and you may have to do a lot of it to reach the withdraw minimum.

If they decide not to pay you, what can you do? Nothing because you'd implicate yourself in a crime.  Wink

This sounds rather interesting, though 0.05 BTC is currently about $50 which is quite a lot to give out.
If it is legit, that would be pretty awesome, though like other people have said you'd need to earn another 0.05 BTC before you can withdraw. At 0.001 BTC per click, that would be 50 clicks. That works out as $1 per click at current BTC prices which seems incredibly high.
Still, as long as you use passwords you've never used before I guess you've got nothing to lose, and maybe a lot to gain.
Good luck, I think I'll check out this site.

As long as you don't invest anything or give any information, what have you got to lose I suppose? I can't say I am very hopeful for it though to be honest.

100 referrals isn't really that much, considering it's worth 50 bucks. Sounds suspicious, it would be nice if anyone can confirm it, since although it isn't much it's still work that has to be done.

They ask you for your CoinBase email, Blockchain email and anual income (and more details). Probably just a phishing site.

Not really a free .05. Just a bonus to work for the minimum withdrawal. Their rates could be doubled until you reach .1 and it would effectively be the same.

minimum payout of 0.1 bitcoin is like more then 100$.
making 100$ on a clicking site takes a lot of time and referring.
I find it strange that they have adds on their 2 day old website thats referring to themselve.

Sorry to be crass, but since they could not afford even the most basic English copy editing, "Honestly Admin Team", they are not too professional.

Not as clearly a ponzi as something like mining united, but they are not giving you .05 BTC, they are giving you .05 BTC credit on their site, a very different thing.  As others have pointed out you can't withdraw it and may never be able to.

Signed up, got my 0.05 btc credit, and still waiting for the site to get the 5000 members. As of the post they have 3,550 members. Just waiting to actually see what comes of this, really hoping it is legit.

It's most definitely not legit, they are simply there to steal your info so that they can straight coins in your accounts. Don't bother to get your hopes up.

Exactly.
The site owner just want to get your info, and probably for future phishing attacks.
