I smell something fishy here; odds and suspicious. Why do you need to hide the link for sign-up? I think this is just like of ponzi schemes. Beware of scams guys, don't trust a newbie here easily unless he already escrow the funds.
You don't know the forum as well as you think you do, mate. Posting referral links publicly is a bannable offense.
I'm hesitant to deposit at the moment because I could lose $2 (

) if he doesn't pay me the other 0.01 btc

Another thing is that the OP only has vouches from killyou72 and a junior member. Not the most trustable two.
I'm sorry you feel that way. If you still feel hesitant to deposit, then that's fine. It is possible that the 5 mBTC I sent to you might get the 0.1g of gold that you need to get.
I also did pay SmartIphone. However, he's went to bed and wasn't able to confirm.
