Thansk for the list, hopefully it'll help some newbies make the right choice when they first come in contact with these ponzi scam sites. I know that for me, when i started with cryptos, i wasted a hella lot of money on ponzi schemes that did not pay off at all.

The only problem that i can think of is that even though you have this huge database of sites, you're not going to be able to update it in time. The profitability of running such scams is so alluring that new ones pop up every single hour.

My criteria for a ponzi is very simple: does it promise more than 30% per year guaranteed? does it have an affiliate program? If the answer to both is yes, 99.9999% of the time it's a ponzi/pyramid.

I guess you are right about this, It's not only about the difficulty I'll have in updating the thread every day, I come here every day and it doesn't really bother me if it could help someone.

But how I see it now is that not a lot of users are showing interest in the thread himself. And also with the last rules on the forum to upgrade your profile, it doesn't make any sense for me to be doing this on a daily basis and after a year still be a basic member. I was doing this to bring some light into some projects and also to deserve my place in higher ranks while taking some scammers down. I guess everyone likes to learn their lessons the hard way, I really thought people would be interested in someway in knowing this...

Anyway, thanks for your input, it was nice to have a few of you comment on this. Keep it up!!

I notice Thorncoin is on there which is probably a good thing, the Youtubers are all fawning over it but there is no ANN thread that I can find, can anyone link to it please?

Feel free to go over there and mark any other project that is not on the list, OP will add them if there are enough proofs of it. You can also ask me to do so.

Projects I've found here and that I asked OP from Reddit to add to the list, this a copy-paste of it

Here is an exchange who stole 21,000 Euro from one of his users on October 9/2017 https://exmo.com/ and here are some proof of it https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/exmocom-alert-scamfraud-help-all-withdrawals-blocked-error-10220-2727560
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/exmo-scam-has-stolen-21k-eur-2250612.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/exmo-scam-2716436

We also have HitBtc and this guy over here who is missing 206 B-Cash for over 4 months (and he is not alone), they were also marked as scam, here is the link to the topics

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/hitbtc-is-a-scam-beware-1927805

And so much about Yobit that I think they deserve a place on your list...

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/yobit-scam-btc-wallet-empty-2726811

Cex.io has also a lot of complaints over there...
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cexio-scam-2174542
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/cexio-concern-2764201

I was about to forget Indorse.io... The one where the founders are trading with each other and where the token hasn't been over the ICO price since the token was released 4 months ago. I also asked him (OP from Reddit) to look into it. I don't know if anyone can remember, it was my first topic, and where I already proved that 2 accounts linked to the deployment of the contract are trading with each other and keeping the price down.

Link to the day I confronted the founder with my findings https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2047503.540
Link to the topic https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;threads;u=1169809;sa=showPosts

I am not going to add it to the list until I receive confirmation from others, but it's the first one who raped me my Ethers so he at least deserves a comment on this topic.
