Sorry to the people who deposited but lucky that I only enrolled on the signature campaign.

Congrats!

You did a great job helping a scammer! And for what? 50 cent/day? A total of 5 bucks?

Geez, people are cheap nowadays!

Have they actually crashed and burned as of yet? Link?

In theory the OP can still get something back via investment returns if they are still paying out (aka conning people into giving them money)

It's over.

Being it so fast I doubt most (all?) took the initial funds soon enough.

I just chalk it up to a lesson learned.  Hopefully other newbie's see this and learn from my mistake!  I'll get the bitcoins back slowly hopefully!

These things are actually quite fun and profitable, if you get in quickly and get out quickly. Easy 3% in 24 hours, no chance of shutting down in 24 hours

You realize you contribute to other people losing money? If you are ok with that, you are just as much a piece of shit as the ponzi operators.

Makes me sad that these dumbass ponzi operators are able to make a quick buck off people who are new to Bitcoin. Although, you should be familiar with things that are too good to be true which is what hyip/ponzis fall under.

Hopefully people will see this thread and it can prevent others from making the same mistake.

I feel sorry for your loss. You are not alone, however!  Most of us are still learning, often the hard way!

Nevermind the losses, it's time to move on, and you know what you just upped your experience level, can't buy that but you learned...

People have to learn that every single one of these will crash eventually. Its kinda fun to go in for a couple days, make an easy couple percent, but theres always the chance that it will crash.

Well, writing was on the wall from day one, and it was obvious it was a scam, and people warned of it being so on nearly every page of their thread.

yes they even sent an email there is a new plan 1-day gain of 130% if you invest $ 1,000 and $ 1,300 you can in one day, and I suspect they gather investors plainly

If an investment seems to good to be true, it usually is.
Not a lot of people understand that. Cryptos is still the heaven for scammers. What is really sad is that the number of members falling for those scheme doesn't seem to fall  Undecided

Some people had more than a thousand dollars on this, I really hope and pray that they got out before this crashed.

Why would a random new account give you free money? Sorry, but you fully deserved to lose it.

By the way, if you send me 1 BTC I send 2 back because I'm a nice guy.

Wow. totally unexpected... You lost your money in an HYIP/ponzi/scam ?

It is simple
How do u expect someone to give you 3% a day?
From other investor's money.
and when admin makes a good profit, withdrawals are not granted and the site disappears in a few days.
Don't invest in HYIPs. it is worse than gambling.

Yes, Thank you for the nice response, as I stated in my post I was not aware of what a Ponzi was.  I was just writing it to warn other people and thank the people that warned me albeit I didn't know till it was too late.

Any program offering this much interest, is obviously false. If you invested 1 btc in a year, you would have 12 btc, they simply can't sustain that.

So, I am new to Bitcoins(relatively, been almost 2 months).  I managed to get up to about $70 dollars worth of coin at the current market value.  The current signature I am using I signed up for to make some coins for posting, I thought it was great.  Well this is where I made my mistake.    I decided to deposit $50 dollars to try and earn a little more coin.  I then saw a post by Grappa_Barricata indicating this was a ponzi, I would like to thank him for bringing this term to my attention.  I started researching what a Ponzi is, and I immediately tried to withdraw my money.  I was a little too late I guess.  I just wanted to thank Grappa for posting about that and informing everyone.

I know ponzi is not a bitcoin term but I was still unfamiliar with the scam they ran.  Anyway, just wanted to post this and let everyone know that Cryptcominer is indeed a scam, and hopefully you do not invest. Big thanks to grappa for bringing this to my attention.
