Since payments are guaranteed, you should escrow 10BTC with a trusted escrow. You know, since you are guaranteeing all payments.

Maybe I'll contact some competent person in the coming days.
130% PONZI-Fast and Payments Guaranteed!!!

No better time then today. The sooner you show that you are serious about guaranteeing everyone their payments, the sooner people will invest.

It's a ponzi. It's puffery, so effectively it's a gambling game, but there is a difference between a dodgy and fair ponzi. It is clear that it is a ponzi that cannot guarantee payments without further deposits. You can see this by reading up on how the scheme works, and the program even writes "ponzi" in their name which is a dead giveaway. It's a bit like those department stores that say "Price Match Guarantee", but they never seem to price match and ask you to go to the other store.

Returning to the ponzi elements:

If the program reaches a stage where deposits are no longer occurring at a reasonable pace:

A fair ponzi would most likely redistribute any residual amount amongst the unpaid participants and then close the program.

A dodgy ponzi makes no such claims and runs off with your coins, seeking only to profit.

The question, which one is this? I mean there is nothing to lose for newbies setting up a ponzi because they aren't hurt by negative feedback "trust", so I'm more inclined to not invest in this program.
