Interesting thing happened earlier today - the site crashed, I think I saw why. A new user, I think named roeder, joined and then wierd things happened. He deposited 3+ BTC and reached the next bank, it paid out. Then he deposited -5 BTC (yes, I know, impossible), then 6 BTC, then 1 BTC, then -2 BTC or something. I managed to look at his profile, it said his level was -1 BTC. Of course, all of that is impossible. But he did trigger the bank. Then the site went down.

My guess is that they checked the bank manually and realised something was wrong. For him to enter those numbers, my guess is he managed to hack the site somehow. It was very very wierd to see that happen. I thought, how could that bank happen so quickly? And I looked just before the bank, it said that roeder deposited 3.25 BTC or something. No user deposits such an amount!

Anyway, they must have reversed the bank and kicked him out, everything seems back to normal now, if a bit slow. I wonder if they will tell everyone what happened.

I like the site, anyway. Yes, it is a pyramid scheme, but bear in mind that after each bank most of the "new" investors are actually the old investors who are reinvesting their income - like me, probably because they want to maintain their level and future income in comparison with the other investors.

So it seems to work pretty well. I admit to being somewhat jealous of the first user Ki$$ who invested 0.3 BTC on day one, reinvested every time, and now is earning over 1 BTC for EACH bank! Wow.

Also, opsnokatt, you have a lot of courage to invest 1.5 BTC, but it looks like it is paying off for you. I salute you.
