08/10/2015. CryptotechGroup Review and Daily News from the HYIP Industry

Beware! CryptotechGroup has stopped paying! Do not invest there!

Hi everyone! Well it’s almost the last day of my vacation, so back to the rain in London tomorrow. I’m sure gonna miss the beaches here and the warm autumn sun. One thing that I hope is going to brighten everyone’s day a little, not just my own, is the addition of a very promising new mid-term program called CryptotechGroup to the MNO monitor’s Premium List. You will have seen the brief introduction to the program in my last blog update, so now that I’ve had a proper chance to check it out and see how everything works it’s time to take a more detailed look. CryptotechGroup is still very new of course so they have a lot to prove in the coming weeks, but if they can just get off the ground with a good start then I think we might see some bigger and better things from them soon. They have what you might describe as some very “sensible” returns so that should help a lot.

Before I get to the exact details of investment plans I just need to clear something up regarding the mechanics of making an investment in CryptotechGroup. It’s a little different from most of the programs you might be more used to, nothing too complicated mind, just different, so I think it’s worth a couple of words.

You see when you are making your first deposit with the program, you are not in fact making an active investment just yet. You are funding your account wallet first, so you need to remember that your money will just sit there doing nothing until you then move it out of the wallet and into the plan you are hoping to join. It’s only at that point do your start earning any money, so don’t wait around. Here’s what you need to do. Inside your members account area you will see a tab marked “operations”. Click this first. This will then take you to a new page listing your recent transactions, and also containing two new buttons marked “add funds” and “withdraw”. Click “add funds” to make your initial spend. Then, next to the operations tab, you will see another tab marked “deposits”. Click that next, which will then take you to a new page that includes the “make deposit” button. This is what you need to click to move money from just sitting in your balance to an active investment. Likewise just repeat the process hitting the “withdraw” button (in the “operations” page again) to get paid.

What about the investment numbers then, the main reason you’re probably reading this after all. Well, CryptotechGroup have three plans to choose from, which could also be described as just one plan with three separate categories depending on the size of your budget. For most of you that will start and finish with The Standard Plan as this is the option including all deposits from a $20 minimum to a $1,000 maximum. The duration is 25 calendar days, during which CryptotechGroup are offering you 4.8% interest per day. Your principal is already factored into that and so will not be returned in a separate payment. That means your interest payments eventually add up to 120% of your principal, which is 100% your own money plus 20% net profit for joining.

To put that into a simple monetary example, let’s say you deposit $100 here. CryptotechGroup are offering you $4.80 back every day until you have collected $120 in total. You break even, that is to say receive an amount equivalent to your principal, after 21 days which now means you can’t possibly lose money anymore no matter what happens next. I can only comment that in HYIP terms this is perfectly achievable by an experienced admin, so if (and I did say “if”!) this is the case with CryptotechGroup then responsible management could keep things rolling over nicely for several cycles.

Other plans do more or less the same thing, the only real difference being that typically for an online HYIP CryptotechGroup would like to entice bigger deposits out of you with the offer of bigger returns. If that’s a risk you can afford and are happy to play, then The Professional Plan is the next offer, starting with a $1,001 minimum and capped with a $3,000 maximum. The term stays at 25 calendar days, it’s only the interest rate that jumps to 5.3% per day. CryptotechGroup again include your principal as part of the daily payments, allowing you to reach the break even point after 19 days and finish up the term with a total of 132.5% back on your investment, or 32.5% net profit.

For any seriously big spending players looking to take a shot at CryptotechGroup then the third and final plan might be right up your street. It’s just going to cost you $3,001 to find out. The term stays at 25 calendar days while the interest rate climbs to 6%. Final returns should come to 150%, and with CryptotechGroup counting your principal as part of that it’s your own money back plus 50% net profit. Maximum spend is limited to $25,000 if anyone really wants to go that far. The break even point is on day number 17 by the way.

So if you like any of the plans enough to join then what are your payment options? Well, alright I suppose, better than a lot of programs but clear room for improvement if CryptotechGroup is ever going to seriously challenge for the top spot in the industry and attract the really big spenders. In other words there’s a lot of convenience here for the admin, but nothing that requires any verification. Not just yet anyway, but that might soon be about to change with Payza coming on board soon. That’s according to the CryptotechGroup admin who in fact made a public announcement declaring as much, saying that the process is already well underway and should be finished soon. The current list includes PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, OkPay, AdvCash, and NixPay which we hope as I just said will soon be joined by Payza. Strictly speaking payouts are not supposed to be instant, but as it happens some of them are. Mine were anyway, but this is not something explicitly promised anywhere on the CryptotechGroup website. The actual rule is manual payments to be completed within 24 hours. Log into your account, submit your request, and if you get paid any faster than that then great, take it as a bonus.

On the technical side of things the CryptotechGroup website is solidly built and up to a high enough quality standard in terms of design and security. The website is running off a licensed version of the H-Script which I don’t think is as widely used in the HYIP industry anymore as it used to be, but they still have their fans and it’s a good enough product anyway. For a hosting provider the CryptotechGroup admin went to DDoSGuard who have the site on a dedicated server with their support and protection from malicious DDoS attacks. For an extra layer of security there’s a superior Green Bar SSL encryption certificate courtesy of Comodo to allow for safer browsing and more secure transactions through the CryptotechGroup website. The website is fully bilingual – both English and Russian – and might have a few other versions up and running before long. Completing the picture is a couple of promotional videos, also in two languages, with some being uploaded by investors and something a bit more slick and professional made (or at least commissioned) by the CryptotechGroup admin.

If you have any further questions for the admin that you think weren’t really explained here then you have a couple of options at your disposal to get in touch. To start with you can just fill in your details on the online customer support form and submit it via the contacts page. Alternatively if you prefer you can write directly to any of a list of e-mail addresses (different addresses depending on what your issue is) also included on CryptotechGroup‘s contacts page. For Live Chat support there is a Skype Chat link though nothing about the working hours of any support staff is included. For a more personal approach CryptotechGroup include a postal address in the UK. Usually as you know I am dismissive of these, being as they are simply virtual hosted offices. It’s just that I mention it in this case because it comes with a phone number, so feel free to try it if you think someone might actually answer. And finally something that was just announced by the admin (so I doubt there’s too many takers just yet) is the launch of CryptotechGroup‘s own regional representative scheme. Whether any of you guys have actually participated in something like this or not, I’m sure most of you are aware of how it basically works. A regular investor applies and is granted a position, has his own contact details published on the CryptotechGroup website, and carries out some promotional/support work in exchange for a higher ref commission rate. Contact the admin yourself for more details if this is something that interests you.

For the record the alleged business activities we are told support the payments to investors are based on CryptotechGroup‘s involvement in crypto-mining, that is to say the mining of digital e-currencies such as BitCoin. Believe it if you want to, but only as long as you remember that even if it was true there still isn’t anything to guarantee its success or profitability, and also that there’s no real evidence that you can research for yourself. From a monitor’s point of view just looking at CryptotechGroup just as an online HYIP, it looks pretty good so far, and I’d have some guarded and cautious optimism. We’re in a volatile industry after all, but if the conditions are right then sure, it might be a hit. I think it deserves to be anyway. You still have to accept the risks though and act sensibly. So always stay well under a spending limit it won’t hurt you if you lose it, and try to keep a wide and diverse portfolio.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE HYIP INDUSTRY

PROFIT4YOU – SKRILL ADDED

More good news came today from Profit4You with the admin reporting the addition of Skrill as a payment option. This was first announced a couple of weeks ago, but only now became a reality. Please note that unlike other payment processors used by Profit4You, both investments and withdrawals made via Skrill will be processed manually, so allow some time for your account in the program to be credited and your profit to be paid to your Skrill account. This, of course, doesn’t apply to all the other payment methods as withdrawals via Payza, PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, OkPay, and AdvCash are still processed instantly. At the time of writing Profit4You is accepting deposits from a $25 minimum into the following plans – 10% for 11 business days, 6.5% for 24 business days, and 3.3%-3.6% for 50 business days. Please note that on any of these plans the profits are only credited from Monday to Friday and the initial investment is not returned on expiry. To find out more about Profit4You which has been running for three weeks now please check the original review of the program published here. For more recent info on the Skrill addition check out this update directly from the admin:

“Skrill Available
Hello, We are accepting Skrill as new payment method. This payment option will work initially in manual mode, for more information please visit our FAQ page.
Keep enjoying.
Profit4You Administration”.

POKERAUTOMATICS – BELIZE OFFICIAL INCORPORATION AND OTHER UPDATES

Just a couple of days ago the administration of PokerAutomatics proudly announced the incorporation of the company under the name Automatics Networks Ltd. in Belize and even put copies of the certificate and memorandum and articles of association documents on public display (read more in the news below):

“PokerAutomatics News
Congratulations!
PokerAutomatics is an officially registered company!
PokerAutomatics is an officially registered company since 2015.
The company is officially registered in Belize.
All certificates and documents verifying lawfulness of business are available at the website.
The name of the company is Automatic Networks Ltd.
International Business Company Number: 156,932.
https://pokeram.com/company”

It might appear to an unexperienced investor that company registration somehow means higher security for your funds. Well, let me tell you – it doesn’t mean any such thing. The only reason admins obtain such certificates of incorporation is because they want to look like more respected companies than they are in reality and gain more trust from larger investors making them deposit more money than they can afford to lose falsely believing themselves protected. Usually the UK incorporation costs a couple of dollars and requires no personal information from the admin (read the article on my own experiment incorporating MNO in the UK a few years back here), and I can’t imagine that it’s so hard to do the same thing in Belize. Besides, no one actually know if Automatic Networks Limited has actually anything to do with the PokerAutomatics website at all, and even if it does own it, certainly this certificate doesn’t give such any right to solicit money for investments, as for this it would be required totally different documents and much stricter regulations. PokerAutomatics (reviewed here) is just a regular HYIP cleverly disguising itself behind the story of the constantly extending network of pokerbots without any efforts from the admin’s part. Here is the latest report of this network upgrade, by the way:

“Pokerbot network upgrade
A number of poker bots in the network increased to 1,059.
Our future goals:
January 2016: 1200-1300 active poker bot accounts
July 2016: 1500-1600 active poker bot accounts
January 2017: 1900-2000 active poker bot accounts
July2017 and further: 2000 active poker bot accounts
The ultimate goal – 2000 active poker bot accounts.
For security reasons we won’t increase our botnet above 2000 active poker bot accounts.”

There is nothing wrong with such background stories mind, as PokerAutomatics is certainly one of the stars of the last year when it comes to stable payouts, but you should realize that your money there is not protected and incorporating companies never changes the fact that we always deal with ponzi-games in the HYIP industry. Further proof of that is the company being listed in the HYIP category on the famous Russian language MMGP forum, high activities of which the admin proudly reports in this short update:

“PokerAutomatics – 7,000+ Payment Posts on MoneyMakerGroup!
Congratulations!
http://www.moneymakergroup.com/Poker-Automatics-Pokera-t476785.html”

The latest weekly statement with recent stats showing the progress of PokerAutomatics last week and the latest lottery winner obtaining VIP status in the program are shown below:

“PokerAutomatics Weekly Statement:

“Lottery Results 04.10.2015:
The winner of this week is smile090386.
Congratulations!
You get VIP status as a prize.
https://pokeram.com/lottery”

And finally we get to the very core of PokerAutomatics – its investment structure. From the approximate 1% daily profit (sometimes more, maybe sometimes less) the investor gets a 40% to 80% share of that depending on the amount invested and the investment term chosen. Starting with a $30 minimum one can join PokerAutomatics via SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney, Payeer, BitCoin, OkPay, and some other lesser known options. You get paid daily over a period of 30 to 180 calendar days after which his deposit expires and becomes available for re-depositing or withdrawal from his account here. Out of the fourteen months of documented flawless work of PokerAutomatics I believe no one can deny that the program has been a real gem and and a great investment opportunity for everyone involved. Hopefully it will stay with us for much longer to the benefit of investors who don’t mind small but sustainable profits.

CRYPTOTECHGROUP – NIXPAY ADDED

I’m not sure if this is going to be of any interest to you personally, but the above-reviewed CryptotechGroup is now accepting NixMoney for deposits since yesterday, but the admin made it official today in the short update re-posted below. Well, I myself know of no one using this payment processor for HYIPs and don’t even have an account there myself. So I doubt very much this move is going to make CryptotechGroup any more popular, but I guess it can’t hurt and more choice is always good for investors. I just wish that Payza or SolidTrustPay were implemented instead as they are really the ones almost everyone needs to be really big. I hope that the admin will at least start accepting deposits via Payza soon, as it was promised in one of the previous emails, and MNO will let you know when it happens:

“Expansion of opportunities
Dear investors and visitors. The CryptotechGroup LTD administration announces that today, on October 07, 2015, for implementation of investments, and also for implementation of other payment operations the list of the electronic payment systems accepted for payment has been expanded. In the project has been added the electronic payment NixMoney system. Official web site of this electronic payment system is: https://nixmoney.com/
We offer even more opportunities!
Watch our updates.
Discover the new opportunities with CryptotechGroup LTD together!”

LOTTO2DESTINY INTRODUCTION

I have a new program added to my monitor’s Premium List today, though to be honest I’m not even sure how to introduce it, let alone monitor it! It’s called Lotto2Destiny and the thing about it is it isn’t actually a HYIP or any kind of investment program at all. It’s entirely a game of chance, something one could argue about in any online HYIP I suppose, though in this case it’s based on a lottery style numbers game. Basically what happens in Lotto2Destiny is that you need to buy a “virtual ticket”, i.e. it is only on your computer screen and not a paper ticket, where you select six random numbers from 1 to 25. Each ticket, or selection of six numbers, will cost you $2. Every ticket you purchase will then be entered into the next lottery, held twice per week on Thursday and Saturday. You can watch the “winning lottery numbers” be automatically generated by the script almost like a live TV event at a designated time on those two days of the week. If your chosen numbers match those drawn by Lotto2Destiny, then you win a cash prize. Just like a “real” lottery, if you match all six numbers then your prize money is enormous even if your chances of actually winning it are slim at best. Matching five numbers is easier and so carries a reduced prize fund, and so on. Figures could well change in the future, but for current draws they stand at $25,000 for picking all six numbers, $2,500 if you correctly match five, $250 to ticket holders with four good numbers, and $50 if you successfully pick three numbers. Apart from the regular Thursday and Saturday lottery draws, Lotto2Destiny has another variant of the game, this time for $1 per ticket, where members try to guess three single numbers from 0 to 9 in or out of sequence for a bigger or smaller prize.

I’ll be able to talk about the plans, sorry, I mean games in the more detailed review coming over the weekend. As for the other features, despite being online for a couple of weeks now the Lotto2Destiny website is still a bit rough around the edges. For example, the admin tells me he does have a verified STP account, but so far is still waiting to have it integrated into his script. So presently the existing payment options are PerfectMoney and Payeer. Also the secure “https” connection needs to be fixed as well, though the admin says he’s on it. We’ll see how things progress over the next few days.
