FAQ

Q: Is this a real thing?

A: Yes, PonziCoins are an ERC20 standard token built on the ethereum blockchain that you can sell on this site.

Q. How does this work? Can I actually cash out? How does the price double?

A: When you buy PonziCoins, you are paying ether into the PonziCoin's Smart Contract balance, think of it like an ether bank account. Whenever you wish to cash out, the Smart Contract will pay you the ether you are owed out of its balance. Every time 100 tokens are sold, the Smart Contract will double the current price it allows people to buy coins from it and sell coins to it.

Q: Can I actually make money off of this?

A: Yes! It's possible cash out at 1/4 of the current price, so to make money you would need to wait till the price triples from where you bought it (200-300 tokens must be sold after you buy yours). If you believe 300 tokens will be sold after you buy in, you could double your money or more!

Q: What do I need to buy into this Ponzi Scheme?

A: You need to install Metamask and also need to buy some Ether (ETH), probably from something like Coinbase.

Q: This seems like a great investment opportunity! I need to get back all the money I lost in BitConnect, so can I put my entire pension fund/college fund/retirement savings/second home mortgage in?

A: No, this is a joke. Don't put any significant amount of money in this, follow /r/personalfinance's advice and please don't invest more than you can lose in crypto.

Q: Is this a scam?

A: Yes, it's as much a scam as 99% of the ICOs out there, but it's more transparent about it

Q: Is this site secure?

A: We use Equifax-grade security.

Q: This seems to be too good to be true, how am I getting screwed?

A: It's a literal pyramid scheme. You are fairly likely to be one of the last people to buy PonziCoins, so another 100 tokens probably will not be sold and the price may not ever double again, in which case you could lose up to 75% of your investment. There's also a chance the contract runs out of money or gets hacked in which case you could lose all of your investment.

Q: Is this coin pre-mined?

A: Yes, it's not a good crypto scam if it doesn't involve pre-mined coins. I have pre-mined 200 PonziCoins for testing purposes and also because I like money.
 
Even More Ethereum-Based Pyramid Schemes Pop up out of Nowhere

It seems people can’t get enough of transparent pyramid schemes on top of the Ethereum blockchain. Just like any other unique idea involving blockchain and cryptocurrency, it doesn’t take long for multiple clones to come into existence. Given all of the shenanigans we have seen with PoWHCoin and ShadowFork, it is only normal that people are more hesitant when it comes to these opportunities. That won’t stop EthPyramid from becoming a success, though.

ETHPYRAMID IS ANOTHER DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN


There is something seriously wrong with a lot of people if they think transparent pyramid schemes are a great use case for smart contract technology. While it is true we need to find as many use cases for smart contracts as possible, running a pyramid scheme is not something that will get many positive headlines. The big difference is that projects such as EthPyramid are completely transparent and warn investors well in advance that they can – and probably will – lose money at some point.

In the case of PoWHCoin and ShadowFork, one coding error spelled disaster. Even though the code was public for everyone to see, it only became apparent there was a major flaw after people had thrown nearly US$1 million worth of Ether into the pyramid scheme. Due to an infinite negative gas price loop, no one was able to withdraw money from this smart contract. The money stored in the contract is probably lost forever and highlights the immaturity of smart contract technology in its current state.

This makes it all the more surprising to see yet another Ethereum-based pyramid scheme gain traction rather quickly
