I saw an advertisement for TinderBTC as a comment on a facebook post by Trezor. I'd like to know if anyone here has heard of them or invested yet.

They advertise a 0.1% per hour return with a minimum investment of 1 satoshi. This works out to 72% per 30 days (or 103.7% if compounded daily). It looks like they take a 5% cut immediately (determined by using their profit calculator, and their referral program is a 5% cut so this would make sense)

It's immediately triggered my "too good to be true" sense. My initial reaction is that it's either a complete scam or, at best, a Ponzi scheme.

What do you all think?

I have a
Ready heard from various sites and people that it is indeed a scam. The return is much to high.

I tested it guys.When i saw the ads I deposited 5 dolars btc (i donno why i was just too bored i guess) i dont remember since when im a member there but i withdrew 6 dolars until now so its still in active mode

Don't make encouraging noises about a HYIP ponzi scam, it draws people in to think they might be able to make a profit.

This is just another Ponzi/Pyramid Scam

It's just a ponzi/HYIP, just like hundreds of other websites. I'd not say that getting ROI is impossible with this system, BUT, it's risky. It's 40-60 that you will get the ROI.

The best time of investing in any HYIP or ponzi scheme is at it's very first phase, like after 1 day or so of it's launch. That way, you can get some ROI, with less risk.

They advertise a 0.1% per hour return with a minimum investment of 1 satoshi.
They claim the minimum withdrawal is 0.0003btc so anyone can test it for USD$0.16

these 2 statements are called "scam bait"

thinking you only need to invest fractions of pennies is the bait
this is because when 16cents turns into 17cents.. it triggered peoples greed and shuts off peoples logic.
they then invest more thinking that the 16cent proof was enough to trust large lumps sums..

.. and thats when the scammers start to steal funds.
they will come up with excuses likes internal issues, so expect delays
the internal issues turn out to be hacks and the funds are gone.
they will even try to use jargon about 'nothing is guaranteed and the markets swung in the wrong direction'

the best thing i can advise anyone is to report this to SEC and inform them its a similar scam to the trendon shavers case a few years back.

lastly if you still feel foolish enough to invest. find out their location. google it and make sure its not a drop box /po box. then get all the details of those running it.

because if you cant find out enough info to slap them in the face with a wet fish should they wrong you. then they are definitely hiding something.
if you do find out all the info.. report them.. dont invest in them

BTC to the moon is inevitable...
that is a clear ponzi scheme, they don't really have any business plan to make profit and share it with us.

and even if they had a business nothing can make this much profit that they can give their investors this much share!

Its classic HYIP. Its defiantly a scam, they will work fine for few months and then run away with all funds. There are many more websites like this which turned out to be scams in few months.

It is definitely a ponzi scheme. It is also known as HYIP. They usually pay in the beginning and once they start getting the opularity and more investment, they run away with the money.

Always avoid such kind of program for your own good. They can offer crazy interest rates just to lure you but getting your investment back from such programs is next to impossible.

Of course it's a scam, Ponzi. These services live from 1 to 2 months. It's like a cloud Mining. Collect money, and then closed.

I think there is a 50-50 chance you'll make it out of there with a profit. These types of shady schemes actually work well for some people, I guess you just have to be lucky. If I had just won a nice amount of BTC trading or something I would give this a shot. According to their calculator 0.2 BTC over 10 days would net me a profit of $20 which is quite tempting. And if I was able to withdraw my initial investment after the 10 days I would then just play around a bit more using only the profits.

EDIT - Just to be clear I wouldn't recommend anyone to try this, chances are you'll just lose your money. I'm just saying that if I received a 2 BTC gift out of nowhere, I would probably gamble away 0.2 just for a laugh.

i have never heard of them but here are the RED flags that i see in what you have described:
0.1% per hour
a minimum investment of 1 satoshi
generally i say anything that is too good to be true is a scam unless proven otherwise. and this looks like a scam specially since they have such a small amount as minimum they want maximum number of victims.

They claim the minimum withdrawal is 0.0003btc so anyone can test it for USD$0.16

well, that's the way they get ya!
you deposit small and withdraw small too, it doesn't matter for a scammer to spend 16 cents and it won't make you rich either but you will think they are legit so deposit bigger and that's the time they run away!

every ponzi scheme works like this, you pay a couple of people and then stop after they get more investors.

It's a scam. The only forms of passive, non-p2p lending, schemes that (maybe) aren't are when you do margin lending to traders through a respected exchange.
