I can confirm myself that it is a scam.

I had thrown a little into their account a couple months ago now, and yes I got paid my interest, and was able to withdraw the first month(Sept).  As of the end of NOV.  I attempted to withdraw a little bit, and like the other folks here, refreshed to a blank page.  Ive attempted to contact support myself, with no response what so ever. 

STAY AWAY!

I decided to risk a small amount of bitcoin and I deposited into my bitcoinera.net account. I shall notify you at the end of the month if I got the interest, or if the
withdrawal worked.

Depositing money and waiting for interest to be paid is not a good test at all. Any Ponzi scheme will pass your test.

Even depositing and then trying to withdraw a short time later is not a good test because the operator knows that if he returns your small amount of money, you will follow with a much larger amount of money.

In general, testing a scheme by sending money is not a good idea because the scammer will make plenty of money just from all the people sending money as a test. When his scam is uncovered, he just shuts it down and starts another one for people to test.


Wow never thought of it that way. I did the exact same thing (send a tiny amount, and then a large amount) but with http://pokerbyproxy.com. Luckily I didnt lose anything (ended with a 0.05 profit).

Its 100% a scam.  I put a bit in there a few weeks ago and the withdraw feature has never worked.  Anyone that puts anything in there will lose their money, guaranteed.

Is there any way you can contact support? You should make a thread showing that they dont allow withdrawals with proof.

Their support is also a scam.  No responses and not a really operational method of contact.  When i go to withdraw, the page just loads for a couple seconds and then goes to a white screen with nothing on it.

Oh. Im sorry for your loss Sad. How much did you lose? Sad

I think they spent about half of the deposits on more advertising to draw in the suckers... Embarrassed

Thanks for doing this for the community. It will be unfortunate if you lose your BTC.


Don't worry, I was curious myself.

I'm sure most of you have all heard of bitcoinera.net
and how they give 6% in interest.

I decided to risk a small amount of bitcoin and I deposited into
my bitcoinera.net account.
I shall notify you at the end of the month if I got the interest, or if the
withdrawal worked.



Wish me luck Tongue


Update: I have received my interest, I will post again for my withdraws,
I want to withdraw a big sum.
