I already have a mining farm, I am trying to do something easy, funny and interesting for the bitcoin community. I am afraid that the word "pyramid" scares many people. What do you think about it? The site is at: http://www.pyramining.com/If someone wants to try it out and join, here's my referral :-) http://www.pyramining.com/referral/k3fr9g647 <- this referral has already been used, ask to other members for new referrals. Joining by referral increases revenue % of 5 points. -edit- I love this pyramid shit. On the bitcoinpyramid I deposited 0.44 BTC when it started and got back almost 2 BTC. lol
While it has a pyramid structure, this service is not a pyramid. Every account will get his calculated reward since all profits are derived only from mining.

scam
Why do you think it's a scam? It is not... and I am not developing it for that.

You have 3 types of people on these forums. Trolls (which he hellhoundpro seems to be), People who trust no one, and then friendly people who are willing to try out new stuff and contribute to the community. Trolls are useless, the highly skeptical people serve the role of devils advocate, and the friendly/more adventurous types are the ones who really grow the community. Now with any new product or idea there is a lot of reasons to be suspicious. That doesn't mean going around and posting "scam". It means doing a thorough investigation and research on a service or product before investing. Before anyone will take this seriously you will want to find a way to both build trust and gain the confidence of the people on the forums. Good luck and what you have seems like an interesting idea.

Thanks Uncurlhalo! I am open to any kind of critics, and I subscribed to this forum to make myself available to anyone who could have quesitions not yet answered in the FAQ. When my account on the forum will allow me to post on other areas, I will open an official thread and link it from the website.

It does smell of scam js, your link to the site is a referral link, the site looks like a 12yr draw it. Best part is you go on the bottom "This service is still BETA. Use at your own risk." You might as just say when I get enough bitcoins I will run away. Also if I give 1.20 btc I get 10% bonus, if I give 2.5btc I get 10%. I would think if I am giving more my bonus should be more but it isn't. It looks very scammy.

So I didn't look at the link as I'm not interested but I do believe that it is bad practice to just leave "scam". You (gweedo) seemed to justify yourself a bit. But I guess everyone else can decide for themselves.

I've noticed that the community here is skeptical about everything.

I've noticed that the community here is skeptical about everything. we are dealing with money, even if it is virtual. I am not going to give out any if I think I am going to be taken advantage of. I think of it any investment and I always like to scope out my investment with the most skepticism.

I dedicated my time to the logic, I can improove graphics with time, the most important thing is that the site works correctly. Probably if I wanted to take bitcoins and run away I would have cared only at the looks. Bonus is 5%, 10% if joining through referral and it will increase proportionally depending on how much your referrals will deposit. Maybe I should explain this better in the FAQ. The site is still BETA because it has still little testing. Anyway I am making hourly database dumps and backups so if something goes wrong I might fix it. And "use at your own risk" because it's my first application that involves bitcoin. Although I am quite experienced with coding, and the whole system sits behind a restrictive firewall, I never ran this kind of application before. Even MTGOX has been hacked someway. If you don't trust it enough but you want to see how it works, you can partecipate with a little amount and see it by yourself. When you are confident that things run as expected, you can always deposit a bigger amount.

I just donated ~ 1 GH/s to the site's mining gear for the bootstrap.
First users will have very fast revenues. All deposited funds will be used to add more hashing power. To speed up things, I can dedicate my other mining gear (up to 25Gh/s actually) to pyramining while waiting for new hardware to be ordered and put to work.

Question, if there's no 2nd or 3rd grade sponsor, does one keep the 15% of the income that goes to them?

Hope you will be satisfied by the service. Question, if there's no 2nd or 3rd grade sponsor, does one keep the 15% of the income that goes to them?
Yes you will keep the income if there are no sponsors above.

Hmm... it lists the transaction, but doesn't do anything: Transactions Date Amount Description 2012-05-10 12:30:35 UTC 0.15 received funds (total: 0.15) (see transaction)
but: Deposited amount: 0.0 BTC Reward completion: 0%

Just have a little patience. :-) Maybe I can reset timers when a transaction is done. Working on it.
