I have an account with them , and have been paid like clockwork every Friday.
I don't get why there are so many posters on a jihad against these folks. Unless they have screwed you over, go get a effin hobby.
You're the third (i think) person to make their first post in this thread in defence of PBMining.

1. High rate of return - Tick for PBMining
2. Provides no evidence of business activity - Tick for PBMining
3. Business activity is "speculation" - no
4. Steady rates of return - PBmining pays the theoretical rate per gh
5. Increasing demand for capital - MAJOR tick, jumped from 14th to 64 in weeks....
Unlike a regular business which has its largest demand for capital at the start, the ponzi starts off with a very small amount of capital ("refuses" deposits), and then grows rapidly. An increasing demand for capital makes sense only if the business can show what the money is being used for. A ponzi will need to have its capital grow at a standard rate that exceeds the withdrawals, whereas a legitimate business will have a varying rate of investment.6. Operator hides their identity - Big tick for PBmining
(I have found out who they are)7. A Super Majority of Non-Investors view it as a Ponzi - Not sure, but certainly many people think so.
8. They advertise a "Limited Availability" tick for pbmining
I'd add 9 - offer referrals to bring in new business - and 10 - use shill accounts to pump their scheme.
They tick 6 or 7 out of 8 for the "how to spot a ponzi" thread list, and 8 or 9 out of 10 if you add my two to the list.
