Well, the way I see it, if there's a queue of 50 people, with traditional ponzis you had a 100% to have to wait for 50 deposits, now you have a 1/50 chance to get your payout right away, or a bigger chance within a few more deposits. It's much more appealing in my opinion.

People are tired of ponzis, so I thought a gambling element would make things more interesting. I limited it to 1ETH so potential losses are much smaller.

Anyway, it's up to the community to decide what they like, if they don't appreciate the awesomeness of this concept it's their problem Tongue


You are right, i didn't see it like that. But thanks to bring us new content !

Interesting, but i don't think randomness in ponzis interest the community.

In my opinion, when i invest in a ponzi, i want to know when i'll be paid.

With a fixed 1 ETH deposit and 1.25 Multiplier http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=u(n)%3D((1%2Bu(n-1))+mod+1.25),+u(0)%3D0
Queue increase by 1 every 5 deposits.
It means that the majority of people will play with a queue >3 people. I assume that a pyramid get slow when queue is 10 deposit long, if everything is working fine.

The majority will bet 1 ETH to get 0.25 ETH with a probability of  1/5 in average (decreasing every 5 deposits). It is even more gambling than before i think, it is fun, but crazy :p


However, Kara, i suggest you should spend time on The Greed Pit, and The Carrot, making fabulous websites, etc ,etc, good luck friend Smiley
