The % coming from the referrals actually _is_ an income, I thought it was quite clear. However I will try to improove the FAQ section, thanks for the hints.

I think a lot needs to be cleared up in the FAQ. I did my best to read through everything before depositing my BTC almost exactly a year ago. At that time I think the Break Even time was ~12 months and the Complete Reward was ~13 months. That seems entirely reasonable for a 10% return on investment.

And what you said back then was:

However I invite everybody to be patient: when ASICs will finally be ready, most probably all deposits will become "complete" far before the date expected at the moment of the deposit.

Now that the ACIS are all installed, the complete time is nearly 5x longer than what it was when I invested. I realize that you have very little control over this, and there is nothing I can do to get my BTC back, but I feel like your FAQ back then (and even now) along with your posts between then and now paint a much rosier picture than what actually is. I feel mislead. And I think that your FAQ continues to mislead people into thinking that the Break Even will eventually go down. With the difficulty continuing to go up and others continuing to add more hashing power to the network, I do not have any confidence that the Break Even period will ever go down to a reasonable timeframe. I am a year into my pyramining experience, at the point where I was originally told I would finally start earning my "bonus", yet I have only recouped 1/5 of my initial investment.

I will continue to watch the BTC trickle in over the next 5 years (hopefully), but I cannot see how I would ever recommend this service to anyone else. And that there is the issue, because unless pryamining continues to get new investments, the Break Even date will continue to get further and further out.

What should be made clear in the FAQ, is how pyramining expects to continue providing ROI for its investors. Unless there is a path that doesn't rely on new investors to put more money in, then I think that the idea that this isn't a pyramid scheme needs to be re-evaluated. Can pyramining be self sufficient? If so, how?
