I think Ponzi's are mostly the same (some interesting ones with different elements have however popped-up), the fact that there are no fees on this one doesn't make it revolutionary IMHO, it really is just some inputs & some outputs.

What I do hope is that people start thinking through these things, there should be a reason for the fees for creators.

Erk. Good catch, honestly didn't see that one.

Not that tired of the spam, but very actually tired of the ridiculous fees associated with all of these where the play is no different at all - a getting rich quick scheme for the creators, just sucking out as much as they can with their own fees.

Ok, I was getting a bit despondent with all the over-the top Ponzi schemes floating around, especially with all the creators taking 10% for doing nothing. So I put together my own (from scratch, no copy & paste) with 0% going to the creator and a 125% return, i.e. while deposits to it are ongoing you get back 125% (1.25x) of what you put in.

Basically send between 100 finney (0.1 ether) and 10 ether to (like the 1.25 multiplier, the 10 ether maximum is set "low" to allow payout flows)

As with all these things, there are risks - if the deposits stops, you are out of luck. While people are playing, you will get your returns. I would recommend not sending from an exchange, rather do it via Geth or Mist since the gas will be calculated correctly for contract execution.

I have $566 burning a hole in my Skrill account. Trying to find a way to get it out of there and into something which I can use to get BTC's. Even found somebody willing to trade, if I can get it into OKPay. No luck without paying an arm and a leg - I don't mind some dillution, but have only found cray exchange rates.

O, boy, between screwed-up foreign exchange laws (wire transfers and not that easy where I'm from), and not being able to use my funds in Skrill, this looks like a mountain to climb.
