Too many scam ponzi out there now every one choose nicely and then only play

Spixel shut up cause your running one of the scams.  I dont care if bitcointalk.org shuts down, There are many Ops that are not happy with this Ponzi scams being posted on the forum go the the other thread so see this.  The Mods have not done anything to stop newbies making easy websites and spamming them crazy on here. Like I said if nothing gets done about the ponizi schemes cause there not gambling there investing.  Difference!!!!!

Then Ill take appropriate action, to get the site owner to do so about it.  Im sure there are many happy I will fight for this but there to wuss to show themselves.  They afraid to lose business, the only one with a set of balls to call them for what they are were Stunna from PD.  

So you little man STFU

It is your responsibility to keep on the look out for scams not the site owners/moderators they are not your baby sitter always remember if something sounds to good to be true then it most likely is.

The incredibly large amount of donations they have received

6k bitcoin? Where did you get this number from? I don't follow 

Hahahaha this is true

I'm utterly appalled this fucking tool has the gall to risk bitcointalk just to crusade against a few sites he disagrees with by way of OPINION.

Ponzi's are not a problem, New members with new ponzi schemes are, Some can be pure scam.
HYIP ponzi's are worst as you will never knew how much they have in their account, they just try to collect more and more money by giving 1-5% daily per user.

You are truly one dumb cunt

That is a multitude more BTC than any other bitcoin ponzi has achieved. A scammer would have taken it if this was their intention.

There is over 400btc received by this ponzi, with 1% fee he is making it worthwhile without having to scam.

You have zero proof to backup your accusations.

Exactly, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Also, you know it's a ponzi in advance so don't enter with money you can't afford to lose!

Look guys! He knows how to copy paste!

What is a Ponzi scheme?

A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns with little or no risk. In many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters focus on attracting new money to make promised payments to earlier-stage investors to create the false appearance that investors are profiting from a legitimate business.
Why do Ponzi schemes collapse?

With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a consistent flow of money from new investors to continue. Ponzi schemes tend to collapse when it becomes difficult to recruit new investors or when a large number of investors ask to cash out.
How did Ponzi schemes get their name?

The schemes are named after Charles Ponzi, who duped thousands of New England residents into investing in a postage stamp speculation scheme back in the 1920s. At a time when the annual interest rate for bank accounts was five percent, Ponzi promised investors that he could provide a 50% return in just 90 days. Ponzi initially bought a small number of international mail coupons in support of his scheme, but quickly switched to using incoming funds from new investors to pay purported returns to earlier investors.
What are some Ponzi scheme "red flags"?

Many Ponzi schemes share common characteristics. Look for these warning signs:

    High investment returns with little or no risk. Every investment carries some degree of risk, and investments yielding higher returns typically involve more risk. Be highly suspicious of any "guaranteed" investment opportunity.
    Overly consistent returns. Investment values tend to go up and down over time, especially those offering potentially high returns. Be suspect of an investment that continues to generate regular, positive returns regardless of overall market conditions.
    Unregistered investments. Ponzi schemes typically involve investments that have not been registered with the SEC or with state regulators. Registration is important because it provides investors with access to key information about the company's management, products, services, and finances.
    Unlicensed sellers. Federal and state securities laws require investment professionals and their firms to be licensed or registered. Most Ponzi schemes involve unlicensed individuals or unregistered firms.
    Secretive and/or complex strategies. Avoiding investments you do not understand, or for which you cannot get complete information, is a good rule of thumb.
    Issues with paperwork. Do not accept excuses regarding why you cannot review information about an investment in writing. Also, account statement errors and inconsistencies may be signs that funds are not being invested as promised.
    Difficulty receiving payments. Be suspicious if you do not receive a payment or have difficulty cashing out your investment. Keep in mind that Ponzi scheme promoters routinely encourage participants to "roll over" investments and sometimes promise returns offering even higher returns on the amount rolled over.

If you are aware of an investment opportunity that might be a Ponzi scheme, contact the SEC by phone at (800) 732-0330 or submit a tip online at sec.gov/complaint/tipscomplaint.shtml.
What steps can I take to avoid Ponzi schemes and other investment frauds?

Whether you are a first-time investor or have been investing for many years, there are some basic questions you should always ask before you commit your hard-earned money to an investment.

The SEC sees too many investors who might have avoided trouble and losses if they had asked questions from the start and verified the answers with information from independent sources.

When you consider your next investment opportunity, start with these five questions:

    Is the seller licensed?
    Is the investment registered?
    How do the risks compare with the potential rewards?
    Do I understand the investment?
    Where can I turn for help?

What are some of the similarities and differences between Ponzi and pyramid schemes?

Ponzi and pyramid schemes are closely related because they both involve paying longer-standing members with money from new participants, instead of actual profits from investing or selling products to the public. Here are some common differences:

 
   

Pyramid Scheme
   

Ponzi Scheme

Typical "hook"
   

Earn high profits by making one payment and finding others to become distributors of a product. The scheme typically does not involve a genuine product. The purported product may not exist or it may be "sold" only to other people who also become distributors.
   

Earn high investment returns with little or no risk by simply handing over your money; often the investment does not exist or only a small percentage of incoming funds are actually invested.

Payments
   

Must pay a one-time or recurring participation fee and recruit new distributors to receive payments.
   

No recruiting necessary to receive payments.

Interaction with original promoter
   

Sometimes none. New participants may enter the pyramid scheme at different levels.
   

Promoter generally interacts directly with all participants.

How the scheme works
   

Funds from new participants are used to pay recruiting commissions to earlier participants.
   

Funds from new investors are used to pay purported returns to earlier investors.

Collapse
   

Fast. An exponential increase in the number of participants is required at each level.
   

May be relatively slow if existing participants reinvest money.

Oh wow! 70 btc you say. pshhh  your thinking small time friend.
They will be waiting for a larger amount to be confirmed to them.

But some smaller ones make take the first thing you send, you can't know.

Spixel is not enough, they are going big.  This is going to hurt rep of bitcoin cause bitcoin talk gets like 187,000 visits a day.  People were calling bitcoin a ponzi and using ponzi with bitcoin right now, is not going to help it. 

No.

One ponzi had over 70btc in its wallet yesterday, now 2btc. Nobody ran away, they sent all the payments.

even if these sites "may" return coins now, they will not forever they are buying your trust with that 25 or whatever % they offer.  And Will keep your coins once they hold enough at once to satisfy their greed.

Ponzi is illegal because it tricks investors. But only when you don't tell them its a ponzi, otherwise there is no tricking! You know its risky and are accepting the risk by sending bitcoin. Now it has turned from a scam into a gambling game.

I'd also like to mention that you've been caught stealing/trying to steal bitcoins from primedice several times. Is this a case of remorse and now you are overly anti-scam?
