mircea_popescu: the "forum investment" crowd build its SECOND layer of indirection. now there's a meta-meta-checker, because "Some
HYIP programs may leave only good status seals on their sites and remove or forge bad once. With our site you may check all
HYIP monitors of any
HYIP. Also some
HYIP monitors may accept 'special monitor' plans, may promote SCAM. That is why we have monitor ranking."
wywialm: in a
hyip world, you have to 'invest' something that is at least a bit worthwhile to scam it from you, which means that there is at least one non-
hyip asset and holding it without investing is an investment decision. holding this asset (e.g. USD) is not itself risk-free, but insulates you from
hyip risk and exposes you to other risks
mircea_popescu: how is it, for that matter, different from "you have to accept, as a
hyip investor, that it's not really an investment".

HYIP (which i had to google)
BingoBoingo: Well, it was just last week the link dropped here of an aspiring
HYIP scammer who lost a whole BTC to malware he though would let him cheat a pasted together gambling site.
mircea_popescu: "{to be honest timmy, having read your attempts to make a pump and dump coin, to also make a
HYIP scam.. i feel sorry for anyone losing coin... but not so much with you."
fluffypony: kakobrekla: sounds like a typical
HYIP mircea_popescu: there's people doing this thing with ponzis (politely known as "
hyip") where they send money and try to take it back out before everyone else.
fluffypony: the whole
HYIP thing is just circlejerky, bunch of people at the top making money
punkman: "
HYIP monitors, promoters and related services: Don't waste your time! We are not getting acquainted with any
HYIP related service. Related support requests will be deleted immediately."
twizt: i was curious about something, and was wondering if you guys had any idea. are there legit bitcoin crowdfunding places? like instead of selling shares sell the actual product, like kickstart. i was looking at bitcoin ipos but most of those sites seem to go down fast and they issue shares/bonds with
HYIP like returns lol
