Hi, guys! Well I have just arrived in Reykjavik today and I must say it’s quite weird here but also somehow what I expected from this northern country. As I was traveling for many hours I was quite tired in the end so I think you will excuse me if I publish only a news section for today, especially given the fact that there was so much that happened for the last 24 hours.

I would like to start with the next newsletter from GoldNuggetInvest program. You might have noticed that the site of GoldNuggetInvest was inaccessible for many of us today. Well, that was not due to a DDoS-attack but rather due to them moving the program’s servers from the no longer so reliable BlackLotus to the more stable and higher quality provider BlockDos (I remind you that MNO blog is also hosted by BlockDos and I must say I never have any problems with downtime). Due to the process of changing servers access to the site of GoldNuggetInvest could be intermittent and as the admin Robert explained in his newsletter the change will ensure their stable work for the long haul. More updates from the admin of GoldNuggetInvest Robert (interviewed here) includes the latest news about the script implementation and the assurance that they are confident that SolidTrustPay payment processor will stay online despite all the recent hacking attempts and frequent downtimes. If you wish to read more about the current #1 program on my monitoring page GoldNuggetInvest you should refer to the review of the program published on my blog here. Then you will know how it’s possible for the program to sustain the 6%-7.5% weekly payouts in the long-term and more about the program’s sources of income. I would suggest not to treat GoldNuggetInvest as a regular HYIP and the project was quite sustainable for over 3 years online and is still strong. All the investors of GoldNuggetInvest will confirm my words that it’s the best low-ROI investment program online now. The program has come through many unfortunate events and always came back as a winner. So this minor difficulties with accessing the site were taken by all the membership of the program quite in a positive way as the ones that will increase the stability of the project in the long run. Anyway, here is the newsletter which I have just received from GoldNuggetInvest:

““Greetings to our loyal GNI members:
In our rekindled effort to keep our members current with news and developments as it pertains to our “Project”, we give to you, once again, our newsletter which we hope and expect all of our customers to review and enjoy.

1. As the entire GNI community should be fully aware, we are an ongoing target of those who purposefully try to do us and you, much harm. We are not alone, one of our partner payment processors has, likewise been subjected to intermittent but ever-increasing, disruptive attacks raising concerns with all interested parties.
After much consideration of many options, we have taken the proactive steps by terminating our current server/security provider, Black Lotus, and have replaced them and the services they provide with BlockDos.
The impact this transition will have on our abilities to continue providing our stellar service should be negligible; nevertheless, it’s possible you had trouble logging into GoldNuggetInvest or you may, at some point on August 27th, experience delays logging on, it is the result of the installation and propagation matters inherently involved with this task.
Due to DNS propagation our site might not be accessible everywhere via our url GoldNuggetInvest. If you have any access issues you may login to our site via IP at http://72.20.16.179/index.php.
We have also temporarily disabled the turing numbers on the login page, since it seems that not all members can see it. This shouldn’t be of any concern! Brute force logins are not possible due to the fact that our script is sending the IP challenge code after each login attempt.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

2. Our new scripting software is in the final stages of testing and will, if all systems remain reasonably stable, be ready for implementation in 8 – 15 working days. We are not rushing this as we want to ensure the software works as it is designed to, is user- friendly and reduces the level of frustration which we all experience when things don’t happen like they are supposed to.
Over the last few weeks, GNI has been under a barrage of coordinated attacks, hence the spike in PIN codes that failed, were sent to members not ordinarily needing to have PIN codes and so forth. It is anticipated the new script will eliminate a significant portion of the current problems we experience. Only time, however will tell.
Once the script is tested and ready to be uploaded, it will necessitate bringing down the entire website along with the supporting HTML pages. We’re not sure of the exact amount of down-time, we thinking it will take somewhere between 14-24 hours… hopefully it will be less, plan on it being more. We will give advanced notice.
Although the graphics are similar, the software is significantly different. If we see members are having trouble with any aspect, we may do some on-line training so people don’t get frustrated. More on that later.

3. Admittedly, SolidTrustPay, has been the ongoing target of pranksters, hackers, DDoSers and the like. These attacks have had a significant collateral affect on all their customers.
We (GNI Admin) have been asked many, many times what our gameplan will be in the event any PP fails or becomes insolvent; or if the member can change their e-currency.
The short answer is yes, we have reserves set aside in the event any ecurrency implosion.
We are of the opinion STP will be here for the long haul and we will, accordingly support them as a loyal business partner should.
With that, we thank you for your time and look forward to providing you with that second passive income!
Robert and the GNI Team.”

Apparently another high-ROI program TenTraders (reviewed here) faced some difficulties today and for some time their site was inaccessible for the public seeing the message about the exceeded bandwidth for their website. At the moment of writing the site of TenTraders is still down and you can see the following message instead:
“Hello TenTraders Members
We have a technical issue. Our bandwidth exceeded but we had paid for it before. we are waiting for our hosting provider support. Please wait.
Thanks for your patience.”
It is currently confirmed that the administration of TenTraders will be moving to BlockDos hosting provider really soon and though the propagation process can take up to 24 hours there is a good chance that we will see TenTraders back again soon. There are no guarantees though can be given as such high-ROI programs can be severely affected by such downtimes and we should give them some time to prove if the program is going to continue. Somebody has already contacted BlockDos and the migration of TenTraders to their service was confirmed so we will wait and see until it happens. So far I have no other choice but to move the program to Waiting status on my monitoring page until the situation with their accessibility improves and the site is back online.
And just a few minutes ago I have received an official newsletter from TenTraders admin about moving the site to BlockDos servers (so hopefully the site will be fully online soon):
“Hello everybody, Please accept our apologize. Today site was down because of bandwidth issue. We had paid for our server 5 days ago but it seems they forgot to renew our service. For this reason and for making a better service for our members we migrated on a new anti ddos server (BlockDos.net).
All of you can open site soon (dns must get action with new hosting)”.

Unfortunately BestInv program seems to be going down after seven weeks of stable work online. I have received already way too many complaints from the readers and this pattern of canceling the withdrawal requests or simply ignoring the payouts to large investors cannot be tolerable anymore. I have already contacted the admin of BestInv regarding this but haven’t received any reply. So I guess the game is over. This was confirmed by many investors and monitoring sites that watch the performance of BestInv. I must say that I have considered BestInv as a game from the beginning and I hope you only invested in that program what you could afford to lose. Anyway, I consider seven weeks online as a huge success for such a program and thinks if we had more such admins like Olivia was the Industry would be much better than what it is now. Anyway, it’s sad that the game is over but it’s happened and now it’s time to move on, guys.

If you liked participating in BestInv program I’m sure you will like another short-term program StableRoi that is doing quite well for the last two weeks online. The payments are quite consistent and fast and the admin is quite proactive which suggests that StableRoi can last for a while even with such high-paying plans as the current 120% after 5 days and 150% after 10 days. Today another plan for riskier players has been opened that will pay you 195% after 15 days for the investments starting from $100. Moreover, the multilingual phone support for StableRoi‘s members should be available soon. More on that in the latest update from the admin of StableRoi program Bred (interviewed here):
“I’m pleased to announce that we have opened new plan! It’s called Plan C and offers to gain 195% after 15 days (MIN – $100 ; MAX – $10000.00 ; Daily profit : 13.00%)!
And phone support will be available from 09/03/2009 in English, French and Russian languages!”

By the way, earlier today I have received one more newsletter from StableRoi that was more like a reminder about some important points you should take into consideration if you think about depositing in StableRoi (reviewed here):
“There are some things I would like to remind you:
1) Deposited earnings are available after plan expiry.
2) Referral contest is ending soon (08/31/2009), so pull up your socks!
3) Total deposited is more than $100,000 and 900 members have joined our program!
4) All pending withdraws can be processed within 12 hours now!
5) Don’t forget that when your one time deposit is $500 or more you’ll get $50 bonus!
6) Now for plan “120 after 5 days” max deposit is $5,000 and for “150 after 10 days” max deposit is $10,000
To help our program don’t forget to vote in monitors and add StableRoi in your forum signatures.”

Another popular short-term program PlusInv (reviewed here) that’s paying 112% after 3 days, 130% after 7 days and 310% after 1 month has become a matter of controversy today as well. Somebody suggested that the program started paying selectively however I didn’t see any proof of it. It’s true that some of the members were banned from the program and their earnings were forfeited due to the violation of their terms of service about having multiple accounts in the program. So I’m not sure if there was just an excuse from the admin not to pay her bills to some larger investors. The list of the accounts in question has been published on a public forum though and everybody could see which accounts were deleted from PlusInv. I repeat that I don’t see any problem with this program and it’s still paying. Although we can’t exclude the possibility that the bad votes received from the members whose accounts were deleted could possibly affect PlusInv in a bad way and reduce its lifecycle. So please be aware of that possibility when thinking over investing in PlusInv!

One more warning I would like to issue about a very new but seemingly scamming program called RoyalFex. It seems having stolen the texts from other websites the admin of the program is now trying to steal the investors’ money. I have five pending withdrawals already some of them are pending for over 60 hours while it’s specified in the FAQ that all the payouts should be done within 24 hours. So I have contacted the admin for an explanation and just received a lame excuse about the impossibility to process my cashout due to STP access issues. But SolidTrustPay website was online for the last 48 hours and nothing prevented him of paying me and other investors. After pointing this out to him he promised to pay me within the next 24 hours then but until now I haven’t received anything more than empty promises. So I’ve decided to move RoyalFex to Waiting status on my monitoring page and I would suggest you not to deposit there if you want to keep your money.

By the way, if you didn’t know yet SolidTrustPay site really faced some huge downtime a week ago which lasted for several days. It seems other things like loading to STP Debit Cards have been suffered as well but the administration of SolidTrustPay posted on their blog that the issue should be resolved by tomorrow. Here is the update which might be interested to STP Debit Card holders:
“Debit Card Loads
SolidTrustPay has received some comments over the last few days regarding loading of our Visa Card.
As per our web site, Visa Debit Card loads are completed in 1 -3 business days.
We have had some unforeseen events take place that have led to delays. We expect Debit Card loads to be back within our normal time frame by Friday 28 August 2009.
SolidTrustPay apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.”

Also SolidTrustPay became another payment processor now accepted by AxaCofinance. Together with LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and StrictPay this fourth payment processor promised to be one of the major improvements that the administration of the program promised to the investors to implement shortly. I have received my next weekly payment of 11% from AxaCofinance today and it was pretty fast to be processed. If you want to find out more about AxaCofinance program please refer to my original review of it published here. And the following is the latest update from the admin of the program:
“Hello dear members.
I would start this newsletter with a great news.
After many requests from investors, it is with enthusiasm that we announce you today: SolidTrustPay is now accepted on AxaCofinance.
We hope you will enjoy this new Deposit/Withdraw option. I would remember you this is only the start of this success venture and many others features are coming soon.
I promised you last week, the first referral contest and I took some late with it, please accept my apologies for this, this contest will be introduced this week end and will be announced by a newsletter including all details.
I would conclude this newsletter with a big thank to all members for this awesome support, AxaCofinance have the ambitious goal to become one of leader in this industry, and the big support from members show us this dream could become true if we continue on this way
See you Friday for the next newsletter. Stay tuned.
Best regards from David. AxaCofinance.”

It is payday tomorrow for the members of SazaInvestments program (reviewed here) as well. I remind you that all the 8%-10% weekly withdrawals are allowed to be made only on Fridays and the admin just enabled the withdrawal button for the next 24 hours. So please don’t forget to request yours:
“It’s Friday so it’s payday again for us. Please don’t forget to request your withdrawals. Thank you all for your trust in us. Regards, SazaInvestments Team”.
The only temporary difficulties with paying to SolidTrustPay as according to the admin’s words the site is inaccessible for him again. Well, I think the payments will be processed anyway as I myself don’t have any problems with accessing my STP account at the moment. Here is the update:
“We can’t login to our account on STP for now. Please don’t worry. As soon as we will be able to login to our account all payments on STP will be proceeded. Rest of the payments are proceeded normally. Regards, SazaInvestments Team”.

IncoForex program (reviewed here) was under an intense DDoS-attack all day long today which prevented me from loading the site for the last few hours. It seems the admin of the program assured everybody that there is nothing to be worried about and that the site should be accessible for most of the countries already. It’s not the case with me as I still can’t access the site of IncoForex here, in Iceland. Hopefully the problem will be solved soon enough and here is the update regarding this situation:
“Dear Investors!
Our official website IncoForex is under massive DDoS attack.
Our technicains do it best to resist this attack. Also please note IncoForex has First Class DDoS protection Shield.
IncoForex is available now for the most countries.
If you can’t open our website please allow up to 2-3 hours to refresh DNS and try again.
Thank you for choosing Leader in Online Investment Services! IncoForex Tech Department.”

There was quite a lengthy update received today from the admin of YesICanSurf Sarah (interviewed here). There are some important change are coming and her program that used to pay 1.7% for 120 days with daily cashouts will be turned into a kind of profit-sharing programs. The constant readers of MNO blog might be aware that I’m not a particular fan of such type of programs but in case with YesICanSurf I guess we, the members, have little choice but to support the admin and to agree to the changes that were described in detail in her update sent to all the members of YesICanSurf. At least, the admin of YesICanSurf has promised that everybody is going to love the changes made so I will be looking forward to it and will be probably deliver you the new updated review of the program when the changes are completely made:
“Greetings to our Surf Family!
Today we have VERY exciting and important news for you!!
As most members know, there is a large element of risk to surfing, usually due to high %age rebates.
Many, many surf programs collapse after a period of time because, regardless of how honest an admin may be, the payouts are simply not sustainable. We are determined NOT to allow YesICanSurf to collapse this way.
So here is our news: To keep YesICanSurf safe and healthy for many months to come, we (with the input of several of our member leaders), have decided to change it over to a revenue share program.
Here are the basic differences:
1) Surfing will be manual rather than automatic. This is important because YesICanSurf is primarily an advertising program and it’s crucial that our member’s ads are seen. However, you need only surf 70 sites weekly, and you may surf a few daily or all of them in one day. It’s entirely up to you!
2) Members will be paid WEEKLY rather than daily, on a set schedule. More about the schedule later.
3) Referral commissions will total a huge 16% on 3 levels. Ref comms may be withdrawn weekly or they may be rolled over into ad shares. Your choice.
4) Minimum adshare will cost $5 rather than $2.
Phil has been working 24/7 these past 2 weeks with Neversay, our Surf script creator, to make all this happen. As all those in the surf industry know, Neversay’s scripts are highly respected, and he has now developed a new revenue share script which will be truly awesome. This will make the transition much easier for us, and with Neversay’s help, everything should go very smoothly.
****All members will retain your same account/financial information.
Phil and Neversay are now ready to transfer the database over to the new script. This is a task with very complex calculations that cannot be delayed. However, all data is recorded so nothing will be lost.
****You can still login with your same username and password.
I am sure there will be many questions, but more details will be sent out as things progress. Once this is in place, you will love it, we promise, and we’ll always be here to guide you, step by step.
We ask for your patience as we work to put everything into place.
Please note: Several members have requested PTC payouts. As Phil is completely tied up with the transfer, these…..and all today’s payout requests….. will be paid as soon as he is free to do so. We thank you for your understanding if we run a little late this time only.
Have a wonderful day, and hold onto your hats…..it’s gonna be an exciting ride!!!
Your Proud Surf Team, Phil and Sarah”.

It seems another autosurfing program AdsDailyPro (reviewed here) shows some good progress. The total deposits have exceeded $30K and that was more than the admin of the program Diane expected. Well, in the current autosurfing environment even such achievement for a program like AdsDailyPro offering 121%-132% after 11 days can be considered a huge one. Anyway, there is also some contest on offer and if you want some bonus from the admin you’re welcome to participate:
“Hello members, AdsDailyPro is growing above our expectations everyday, we’ve hit already 30.000 USD in upgrades, this really show that all our members trust us.
I would like to see more screenshots with our payments and I am launching a new contest. All members who will post screenshots on public forums with payments from AdsDailyPro will have to contact us using our ticket system to get the prize, 10% of their current active upgrade. The prize can be cashed out right after receiving it.
The contest last until Sunday 23.59 server time. In order to qualify for it, you have to post screenshots (without limit, meaning if you post two different screenshots you get the bonus twice) with date starting from now on all the forums.
With this being said I wish you Good Luck and don’t forget to ask the prize using tickets, by writing also the forum links so we can verify them.
Diane, AdsDailyPro”.
