I sent them 0.001 BTC and got 0.00256 in return over two transactions. Something screwy is definitely going on.

Well, it seems the experiment is over and they tried to pay back everyone, but have a look at my wallet: http://imgur.com/10nx0DG

I sent 0.0012408 + 0.0001 fee and got 0.1199 back... So I just tried again before seeing that it was over and probably will not get anything back from that payment.

So, in total, I "lost" 0.0013408*2 and got 0.1199. That's 76$ profit, at current rate anyway!

I don't know why you've gone to the effort of blacking out the other addresses, when the blockchain is public. Here's a definitive proof of the transactions: https://blockchain.info/address/1B45zbsPXDDwoCsY11NGmX7useg1...

Good point, I guess I'm still new to this, I just bought some BTC from the new Montreal's ATM yesterday. I guess that by blacking out the time or part of the amount I would have made it "uncertain"...

So yeah, point is, it's true, ponzi.io screwed up big time in my favor (and I just got the 6th verification).

And ... it's Saturday, and I've just got some "money" for free booze.

cheers! ;)
