Hmmm sorry the UK isn't a 1st world country? ... I thought it was.   Wink
I don't think you've understood what I'm saying. My original point was that not everyone lives in the First World, and for those people (who don't live in the First World) 25c may well be a lot of money. Additionally, there are also people in the First World - in the UK for example - for whom 25c is significant.

Seriously?   If people are investing in scrypt.cc with money that is important to them, then warnings aren't going to address that issue.   The amount doesn't really matter.  
Some people will certainly disregard warnings. Other people will miss warnings, or see posts such as yours, and not realise just how risky scrypt.cc is. Another group will do due diligence and avoid it like the plague. Amazingly, not everyone is the same. People live in different parts of the world, have different standards of living, and have different expectations. For many people "cloud mining" has an entirely different meaning to "gambling", for example.

As far as where I hear about people screaming over tiny amounts.   Well I read about it in English in various crypto forums.
One thing many people do have in common, despite everything else, is language. Many Africans use French on the Internet, for example. English is far more widely used, particularly among people from Asia. Dig deeper into the English voices, and many times you'll find someone from India.
   
I doubt there are legal lottery tickets anywhere in the world that can be bought for 0.001 BTC right now.   Now that is also throwing your money away!   Where is the outrage and the postings against that?    
In the UK - and in other countries where lotteries are legal - lotteries are regulated to ensure that they're run fairly and that the lottery operator pays out when they've promised to pay out. I don't find that particularly outrageous. And lotteries tend to be marketed as "lotteries", not "cloud mining" or something similar.

Anyway get back to your happy warning posting if you want.   I was just being practical.   As far as scrypt.cc goes, the BTC is gone unless something drastic changes.   There isn't any real amount of BTC going in and there isn't much coming out.    Most of the BTC is simply gone.   
What practical purpose did your post serve? (Sorry, I realise this is the third time I've asked this question but I'm hopeful that if I keep asking it in slightly different ways you might answer).
