Morning guys, any I'm looking into any requested refunds and if there is a valid reason I will consider them as and when funds allow - dont forget I havent made anything from PonziCoin yet, everything is going into escrow!

I'm going to try a couple of things to get PonziCoin moving again, more details to follow...

Ok, so is it safe to say I'll get my refund in about 3 days time? I can understand being vague in the heat of the moment.... but come on... enough time has passed for some sort of clarity. "I will consider them when funds allow" is an indefinite blanket statement usually by people who have no intentions of addressing the issue.

If this is a scam, the people here need to know. If you are going to close any round at will and take all the money that was pouring in and getting confirmed.... but of course promising them refunds while opening another round and going "pump pump pump!" and then having it mysteriously "attacked"... you know sound a little off to me. I understand some people here with stockholm syndrome will disagree. But being "generous" and refunding some of the people while pocketing the rest hardly constitutes as honest... even more so if its a tactic to regain trust. The escrow service does nothing for the people you've stolen from right? Its just so that current players get a proportion of their money in case you get run over by a bus.

I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what I have done to suggest I have been dishonest. Not only could I have ran off with over 11BTC last week, I have since implemented an escrow service of which the operator is under strict instructions to refund any player who has lost out as a result of my actions (e.g. running away with the coins, not paying out etc).

As of the relaunch I have not taken a single satoshi out of PonziCoin, rather I have put my own funds in yesterday! All "fees" from recent rounds have been sent to the escrows wallet - 1FweHGdxQrFVXNss7163axzpUWwf2XSaUo

Once the escrow wallet reaches a suitable amount, the fees will then be redirected to my personal wallet, at which time I will be in a position to make any further refunds as I deem fit. (e.g. from old round #6 etc).

I'm not sure I can be any fairer? If you are in any doubt over my intentions I suggest you dont play in any future rounds. I would have hoped by now I had done enough to prove I am not a fly-by-night operator.

You closed the round #6 abruptly while transactions were pouring in without mentioning anything what was going to happen to those who've already sent the money and those that are being confirmed. After a bit of back and forth and pressings, you finally said that a refund was being issued for all the players of round #6. After that all questions regarding the refund status were either ignored or vaguely to the tune of "it will be taken care of", etc. Then there is the public display of "give me your tx id, i will look into it now" kinda reply with nothing really happening in your end. That looked more or less like a PR stunt to reinforce trust to passing by readers. So please put yourself in my shoes and would you not honestly question the integrity of such a person?

What happened to the money from Round #6? Were they used to pay off people from round #7? How the hell is that justified? What's the logic behind that?

So what? If security was compromised at your site, then that is your fault. If you have invested in advertizing and if a fuck up happens midway, ya it makes economical sense to put in some of your money to continue the business unscathed and not lose the hard earned following that you spent so much time garnering. I would value it to be a little more than 11 BTC in the longer run. "I could have run away" is not really a sensible option, and thinking about it, does not really suggest honesty in any way. Its a business decision, not a moral one. Hence I don't see any reason to associate that action with good intentions.

To a certain degree, this is reassuring, and this clarity was not provided in any of your earlier replies. It would be great if there is an ETA of time frame on when its gonna happen though. What is this "suitable amount" I need to wait for before knowing that you are processing the old refunds? 10 BTC? You have also not mentioned if the escrow contains the refunds for old Round #6 or is it just for the new round # 1 onwards?

I have every right to doubt your intentions.... till your actions prove otherwise. Its only fair, after all, to grossly simplify, you have my money (and others i presume) and have not returned it yet. The shitstorm you got into after taking my money is the least of my concern... and is certainly no excuse for me to write it off. So yes, I have a right to call you a scammer till I get my money back, and more importantly, also an obligation to take back my accusations once I get the money back. Anything else would be dishonest from my side. I hope you understand.
