I've got some BTC tied up in OP's site. Now I wish I can move them out as I've found better options with higher yields. Hope OP could create an opt-out option.

Move over clarinets, I'm getting on the band wagon
I'm having a hard time understanding what everyones gripe is, about how long your investment is paid out in full... I've invested only a small amount of btc...a little over 5 now over roughly the last year. The btc that I had invested here was basically 'extra'. I'd buy something with btc and then deposit the 'change' in one of my several Pyramining accounts. Over the last year this 'change' is what has added up to the 5+ btc worth of deposits. And now, especially since the payout threshold was lowered to 0.10 btc, I occasionally get an extra little 'bonus' in my wallet on top of the mining that I do myself. So, this 'change' I have tossed into a jar over time has begun to spill over and I can put an extra few gallons in my gas tank from time to time. So Pyramining is working out GREAT for me...really not sure what the big deal is. I've actually even been just depositing the reward I have gotten from Pyra BACK into my Pyra accounts thus raising my 'equivalent hashing speed' even more. Its all a bunch of win win from my spare change over time...what's the harm in that? I mean, unless you're trying to use Pyramining as your sole source of mining 'income' then I guess some frustrations might be had...

I'm not trying to talk anyone out of Pyramining, I just think people should think it through and know what they're getting into.

The standard payout is 10% which you can increase to 20% by using your own referral codes. (This assumes no one uses your referral codes but you.)

That 20% return will take you ~79 months to generate. That's 2.8% APR.

Would you invest your money for 2.8%? Maybe in a super secure CD or bond, but certainly not in a risky venture like pyramining. Anything could happen in the next 6 years. You might never recoup your original investment much less make a return.

I'm just saying, think it through and make sure you're comfortable with the risk/reward.

I think 79 months is too long for a 10-20% return. ASICs will help, but with ASICs comes increased difficulty so...who knows what the payback time will be.
thats way to long btc might go down by then anythinbg can happen thats 4-5 years plus 10-20% this company might not even be in business by then your basically giving away your money to a Huge Pit in my opinion.

Exactly my point. With the volitility of BTC I wouldn't want to tie up my coins for over 6 years just for a 10% return. And that's if everything goes as planned. As btchaver points out, there are a lot of things that can go wrong.

What is the info on these homebrew ASIC's they cost millions to develop did Pyramining really have the resources to go alone on that?

Have you a link to a post or article related to this?

Complete reward:   ~ 87 months   Cry

Exactly.

But with asics and referrals this will reduce.

Your right, but if asics are added to current infrastructure and you get referrals under you, it could be and investment worthwile.

Any suggestions on getting referrals?
I think the best one is just word of mouth... send your codes to a few friends or relatives
I'd imagine you may have pretty bad luck right now outside of the existing bitcoin community, if nothing else return time before ASICs is pretty high. Sig links aren't bad and this thread is a bad place to try it. There are usually pyramining referral link threads around if you look through the forums, I forget what subforum though.

Thanks, yeah, was thinking of making a small information website specifically for referrals and putting that in signature. Not exactly original but worth a try.
That may be an easier way to keep the links up to date and such since you can change the links present on that page more rapidly. Might have to look into making a site for anyone to use in that vein
