Does anyone not recall Hashie.co following a similar trajectory? Right around new years they announced some special temporary hashes/mines/whatever with super-high ROI, and then went tits up with everyone's cash. This was a fun little game to mess around with but as soon as they started offering those absurdly high ROI temporary new year's mines, it was clearly going to be a cut and run. There's no reason there would be a Fed seizure of that domain yet Cryptsy is still accessible.
It's a shame that ore-mine shut down, so many people trusted them and yet so many people got scammed.
Luckily there are some honest ponzis out there. For example, for over a month I've been using Flexybit.com and have doubled a significant amount of bitcoin. The website is super easy to use and they don't tell you that they will double any amount, but that it is a gamble. Also, if you read one of the questions in their FAQ, it states "Honestly, will you run with the pot?" and the answer is "Honestly, though that is not our plan, but you should always assume that we will!"
Really flexybit is one of the only transparent ponzis out there. Of course you should only gamble what you can afford to lose on ANY ponzi website, but for some of you who are looking to receive a recompensation from your ore-mine losses, perhaps you should try flexybit. I know I have!
Wow. Using a shut down of one Ponzi to convince people there are "honest Ponzis" and promote one that you're probably running. That's classy. But hey you make a great argument - if their website has a good disclaimer, there's NO REASON AT ALL for them to take your money...
