Banning/Tagging users promoting this would be useful.
All these accounts building quote pyramids/spamming should be nuked and announcement thread thrashed or at least locked if thread starter didn't bother to report all this crap to moderator.

Seems like there are quite a lot postings being spammed around the forum about this.

It seems to me that many members of the forum have outdated concepts about the Ponzi scheme. In order to conduct a dialogue in the right direction, we must first give a clear concept of what the Ponzi scheme is.
Your brain is outdated.

This is newest concept with only 3 investards( "transparent" zero fee ponzi):

First invest 10$ --> scheme shows 10$
Second invest 10$ --> scheme shows 20$
First withdraw 20$ --> scheme shows 0$
First reinvest 20$ --> scheme shows 20$
Second withdraw 20$ --> scheme shows 0$
Second reinvest 20$ --> scheme shows 20$

Both investards are now waiting for 40$.

Third person see there is 20$ in scheme--> invest 20$ to get that 40$ --> scheme shows 40$, but:

First withdraw 40$ --> scheme shows 0$
First reinvest 40$ --> scheme shows 40$
Second withdraw 40$ --> scheme shows 0$
Second reinvest 40$ --> scheme shows 40$
Third withdraw 40$ --> scheme shows 0$
Third reinvest 40$ --> scheme shows 40$

Now, they all reinvested 40$ and they are all waiting for 80$(or, 240$) while there is only 40$ is in scheme. So they need one fool to invest 240$ so they could get their money out. And so on (Add more people).

Lets take a look this for example this smart ponzi contract https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053338.60
They promise to double money while they are taking 10% fee. Everything is visible.

https://etherscan.io/address/0xA3296436f6e85A7e8bfC485e64f05E35c9047C92

Code:
* ---How to use:
*  1. Send from ETH wallet to the smart contract address
*     any amount ETH.
*  2. Claim your profit by sending 0 ether transaction (1 time per hour)
*  3. If you earn more than 200%, you can withdraw only one finish time


283,000$ invested and they promise to give 566,000$ while they are taking 10% fee.

How, the hell, 283,000$ - 28300$ = 254700$ can become 566,000$ ? I would say less than half investards will make profit while others won't.
Or, another scenario: everyone will send zero ethereum transaction and reclaim exactly 90% of their investment and lose 10%. Sounds legit, yeah.

All ponzies are scam, "transparent" or not, in my opinion, irrelevant.
