(1) i have (personally) done *my* due diligence, and am (deliberately) *ONLY* investing BTC (not actual cash) which i happened to have (from 5 years ago) plus some donations. i am risking no ACTUAL quotes money quotes. at all. (2) i have a friend whom i trust who put (actual) money in, i've known him for 10 years. his commissions are... large. and actually exist. (3) this is quite LITERALLY the opposite of a ponzi scheme. they are LITERALLY making the bitcoin that underpins the entire scheme. this is a completely unique approach which is actually extremely clever. > Look at how many similar schemes, offering no proof of actual mining, i know. this isn't one of them. https://bitclubpool.com/index.php?p=stats i've looked at e.g. gemini mining (whatever the hell they are called). they are DEFINITELY dodgy. no pool stats. no way to verify them. total secrecy.. this is completely different in just about every way possible. l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list arm-netbook@lists.phcomp.co.uk http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to arm-netb...@files.phcomp.co.uk
