I stumbled upon the profile of Relyt, which spams about 333ETH in various local forums when he isn't staying in his local russian board (I don't speak russian well enough to know if it is automated spam or legit). I reported his 333 ETH posts, however I was curious about it. Seems like there are quite a lot postings being spammed around the forum about this. Is this considered a scam? Looks like classic ponzi to me. Banning/Tagging users promoting this would be useful. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5024301.0EDIT : Also a possible alt of Relyt, also spamming about 333eth : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=18394

If you consider this as scam then you should move this to Scam Accusations and also you can PM DT member to tag that account but no ban will be implemented for scammers in my knowledge since scams are not moderated here.

So keeping an account that posts every minute about a scam/ponzi is fine? I don't think we read the same rules. Even if the project was legit such behavior is not allowed.

It seems to me that many members of the forum have outdated concepts about the Ponzi scheme. In order to conduct a dialogue in the right direction, we must first give a clear concept of what the Ponzi scheme is. And where, besides financial pyramids (as this market was dubbed), is it still used at the state level? Only after that, it will be possible to scatter the terminology of Ponzi and brand everything in a row.

https://333eth.io/ is a ponzi scheme. You can deflect all you want on other projects such as the US dollar, it really does not make your project any more legitimate. And for the record. US$ are not (part of) a ponzi scheme imo. US Dollars are backed by future taxes on future US GDP, be it in gold or in US Dollars. The independent Fed also sets Monetary Policy so that we have a very controlled 2% inflation target and a healthy economy with low unemployment. Your service has none of that. Except a referral system and the following interest; The calculation of your interest is in equal parts every 10 minutes, totaling 2%-3.33% daily from the sum of all of your investments in the smart contract. I get 3.33% a day, spreaded over 144 payments a day? (1 payment every 10 minutes?). That together with compound interest seems ABSOLUTELY ridiculous, and 100% unsustainable?

As Russian who understand what is written here I can say that it is simple promotion from a forum member. He must be gets something from this, but the thing he is promoting really looks like a Ponzy scheme. People should to use their brains before to react on such things positively.

US Dollar - Ponzi Scheme?
It seems to me that you are using a standard deflection/denial strawman argument ("outdated"..."What about central banks?"... "Everything is a pyramid") that Ponzi/pyramid scammers have been using for years. The only marginally gray area where schemes, which have no (or insufficient) core profit generation activity and hence pay out later investors' funds to earlier investors, should be labelled as "scams" is whether they lie about it or not. This aspect has been discussed several times. If you say "We are experienced FX/arbitrage/whatever traders and pay daily trading returns of x%", whereas in reality the x% comes from new investors money, then you are a Ponzi scam. If you say "our scheme is based on a smart contract which allocates x% returns when new deposits are sufficient to do so" then it can be argued that it is a Ponzi "game", as there has been no attempt to mislead regarding the source of the x%.
