If the site is paying does that mean they are not a scam? The answer to the OP's question depends on what is scam to him? If you go to the thread of Scrypt.cc a lot of investors in Scrypt.cc claims that site is still paying and they can even show a transaction ID, question is where is the payment coming from?
Every Ponzi pay (at the beginning).
Admin pay from the Funds he stole from the Users.
He has several Strategies for that.
- Disappearing Withdrawals. (some people lost 15 BTC! I lost 'just' 1.5)
And the coins are not credited back to account. They are vanished.
- Repeated reduce the Rewards. Market Price is following and go down.
People that bought @ 1200 Sat, have now Shares worth the half.
Even if they sell, losing 50% of investment.
- Locked down accounts without reason. (password invalid)
not possible to reset password.
- vanished 37.000 KH/s. More disappeared through rounding after switch to MHS.
There is absolut
no doubt, that Scrypt.cc is
SCAM.
Edit:
3-4 Months ago, the Reward was 18.8. It is 0.6 now.
People that bought at that time, and hoped for ROI of 60 Days,
have now a ROI of 5 Years
