Hi everyone! In keeping with the theme from today’s earlier post I’m again focusing on a long term online investment project for this evening’s update. It’s a brand new program this time however and it’s called OptimumPride. I couldn’t help but smile to myself at the name, thinking the admin must be something of a cartoon fan (remember the character Optimus Prime?) but that’s ok by me. A little imagination can take you a long way in this business and I must say OptimumPride is a highly original and eye catching website. But let’s take a closer look and see if you think it’s actually worth your money.

The first thing you’re going to find when arriving on the OptimumPride homepage is a short but professional and very slick video presentation of about 45 seconds or so in length. Granted it doesn’t give away much practical information on the program but it does make for a good first impression and sets them up as serious players with serious intentions. And they have a good selection of plans too but unfortunately on closer inspection most would seem a little overpriced for the average HYIP player. But then again I suppose all you need is one.

As I said it’s a long term HYIP but if that’s not for you (or maybe you’re just a smaller investor) then OptimumPride have something for you too. The first thing they offer you is the so called Starter Plan. It runs for just 15 business days (3 weeks) and makes low ROI payments every business day on deposits ranging from a low of $20 up to a max of $99. The rate is just 0.4% per day so if you don’t have a lot of money going into it then you still won’t have a lot coming out, but at the same time it still adds up to a 6% total profit which 3 weeks isn’t all that bad. Your deposit is of course returned on expiry.

Moving on to what I guess are the more serious plans then, the next option is called The Standard Plan and it runs for 180 business days (36 weeks) – the same term as all remaining plans. You can join for a minimum investment of $100 which is already a bit on the high side as far as the industry standard is concerned. A couple of months down the line it won’t be that much of a problem provided they perform well and establish themselves, but for a new program $100 may seem a bit ambitious, at least to start with anyway. But anyway, in return OptimumPride are offering a daily interest payment of 0.6% per day. That adds up to 3% per week and a total profit of 108% by the time the plan matures. That is in addition to your original principal which will then be returned. So it more than doubles your money, and while it may not happen as fast as some aficionados of short term HYIPs may like, the important thing here is stability and something that in HYIP terms is actually realistically achievable. Maximum investment is $4,999.

From this point on things get a bit more serious with OptimumPride. The minimum cost of joining the next plan is $5000. It’s called The Advanced Plan and for a fixed term of 180 business days will make a daily interest payment of 0.8% per business day. That would give you 4% profit per week and 144% profit in total in addition to your principal getting returned. Maximum spend is $29,999.

If that plan was serious then the following plans begin to get a bit shall we say fanciful. For information purposes I’ll include them anyway. So, $30,000 is the cost of joining The Professional Plan. It offers 1% interest per business day for 180 business days.

Investments to The Ultimate Plan start at $100,000 and offer 1.2% interest per day for 180 business days.

And finally for Russian oligarchs and the seven richest kings of Europe there is The VIP Plan. If that list includes you then deposits start at $500,000 and the rate of interest is 1.5% per business day for 180 business days.

The choice of payment processors isn’t all that great but I have to say that looking back over a lot of the most recently launched programs it rarely is anymore when it comes to long term HYIPs. OptimumPride accepts just LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney which seems to be standard procedure for most new long term programs these days. Anyway, as I’ve said before there’s nothing wrong with either of them and they both have their uses. On of their uses however is not to investigate if you feel you have been scammed, so do keep that in mind when deciding how much you want to gamble. Payments are made manually so you’re going to have to request them. The admin asks you allow him a maximum of 48 hours before everything is processed, though at this early stage I’d guess it’ll be taken care of a bit faster than that.

The latest version of the Neversay script is what the admin has decided to run OptimumPride from and of course anything from Neversay usually comes with a good secure reputation attached. By the way, programs running from this script normally require you to fund an internal wallet in your member’s area first, then redirect that money into the plan of your choice. Other than that SSL encryption from Comodo is in place throughout the site and hosting is provided by Koddos who have OptimumPride on a dedicated Staminus server.

The program has a very nice looking website overall and looks very professional. Despite that it’s still very easy to navigate and quite easy to understand. The best way to contact them I suppose is probably by filling out the support form and submitting it, though they also feature a Live Chat function. There’s nothing to indicate what kind of schedule they keep (if any) there.

I saw on the news today that Facebook now have officially 500 million users worldwide. I’m not one of them (that’s too scary a thought for me!) but if you are then you have something in common with OptimumPride. In addition to a Facebook page they also have a Twitter account for keeping members updated as to their goings-on. Hopefully if it’s used properly it will remove a lot of work from their support and allow them to get on with more pressing matters, ie making money for their members! Also featured is a registered office in the UK and a certificate of incorporation. I have the very same thing for MNO, in fact my registered office is quite close to theirs. But it has little to do with guaranteeing your principal.

Despite the OptimumPride website being so good, almost as asset in itself in fact, the texts are not original and are taken from an actual private fund management firm. This is more or less down to the designer rather than the admin but it’s still the admin’s responsibility so until further notice I can only suggest you ignore any claims made about the programs offline business activities and treat them as you would any online HYIP. It may look better than most and is definitely more sustainable as long as it gets enough members, but it’s still an online HYIP so proceed accordingly. If joining then only do so as part of a wider more diverse portfolio.

OTHER NEWS FOR TODAY.

Let’s start with some exciting news from one of the most promising short-term programs at the moment – FinalEarn (reviewed here). I remind you that the program only accepts deposits into two plans: 115% after 3 days and 140% after 7 days. Well, it looks like the first payment cycle for the longer term has been successfully completed and the first investors have been paid their payouts from 140% after 7 days plan. I have received my payout as well today and, well, it was paid to my LibertyReserve account in less than an hour. Perhaps I was lucky this time and the admin was online at the time I requested it but usually I don’t have to wait too long for my withdrawals from FinalEarn to get processed anyway. Most of the time I receive them within a few hours. Well, I guess for those hesitant to join should read my recent interview with the admin of FinalEarn Allen here and see for yourself that he’s kinda serious in making his program a success. I hope FinalEarn will last for a long time provided the admin has the same level of dedication and the investors give the program the same level of support it deserves. Do not forget to post your payment proofs on MNO forum thread here once you receive your payouts as it will definitely help FinalEarn grow further!

The admin of FxCrudeOil (reviewed here) sent out a small reminder today where he asked investors to withdraw to your payment processor and not to your wallet because if you make your withdrawal to your wallet the funds will be only available for reinvesting and not for withdrawal. I guess the more experienced players know exactly how the new Neversay script works but for novices this advice would be appreciated. I remind you that FxCrudeOil pays on three weekly plans (10% for 15 weeks, 11% for 20 weeks, 12% for 30 weeks) and accepts all the popular payment processors. Here is the latest update from FxCrudeOil:
“All pay out has been completed. Pls vote for us!!
Thank you to those new members just joined.
Remember we have compounding option available and can fund wallet any amount from 1$
We have strong DDoS protection with SSL service
Rule of withdraw:
Some members withdraw their earning in to wallet but fund wallet can use only for deposit in plans so if members wants to withdraw need to choose payment processor
Thank you. FxCrudeOil Admin”.

As you might remember I reported that Disalina paid me last night. Well, I was able to withdraw only part of my principal and noticed that the script didn’t allow me to withdraw the rest. There was also no chance to redeposit my money because the script seems not to have such a feature of depositing from your balance. Well, it means I was basically left waiting and couldn’t actually do anything. I tried to submit a support ticket on the site but it looks the site was totally abandoned and by now I haven’t received any reply from the admin to my query. Anyway, I have no other choice but to move Disalina to Problem status on my monitoring page, however I’m still hoping that I will hear from the admin soon. Anyway, the deposits into Disalina are not recommended at this point.

It looks like the whole investment community can celebrate a minor victory. Something resembling the truth seems to have trickled down into the remains of conscience still held by the admin of hyip.com. Well, we can definitely say that a battle was won as after yesterday’s article he deleted his lies about such paying programs like FundsOMatic, InWolton and CashMiner which he deliberately listed on Problem status though never having any investments with them. He even restored RedOrchidInvest to Paying status after holding a warning against them for 5 (!) months simply because the admin of the program preferred MNO as his advertising platform. Mind you, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them all back on problem status as soon as Alex has another of his legendary mood swings. The main thing investors want to know is the real status of a program monitored – if it’s paying or not paying so they could make the right choice. By misleading investors Alex helps nobody, least of all himself. Not that I’ll be disappointed when his own vindictive nature finally destroys his own site. After all, this is a small community and advertisers won’t put up with his threats and his temper tantrums forever. Considering that MNO will shortly be launching a similar monitoring site with the possibility to vote and many other interesting features within the next few days so becoming a direct competitor to hyip.com but starting with more than a twice better Alexa rating it will certainly bring better advertising results.

I really hope that Alex will not hold another personal grudge (though I doubt it!) against a new program listed on MNO today called WorldPrivateFunds as it seems they have tried to get listed on hyip.com as well. After all, it’s not my responsibility to enforce hyip.com policy so if he wants to threaten, bully, or blackmail any admin then he’ll have to do it without my help. I’ll not be checking his website for permission before accepting new programs. Anyway, the website of WorldPrivateFunds looks nice and is SSL-secured with hosting on a dedicated server protected by Dragonara. The minimum deposit is $10 which can be deposited via LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and very soon Bank Wires (it was already announced but they are not accepted yet). The investment plans offered are as follows: 0.9% for 10 business days, 1.4% for 60 business days, 1.8% for 90 business days, 2.2% for 120 business days. Please note that your principal will be returned to you on expiry. The program is managed by a licensed GoldCoders script and compounding is also allowed. More about WorldPrivateFunds and its plans will be discussed in the upcoming review on MNO soon. And here is the greeting on the launch of the program that was left on the site by its admin Samuel:
“Hi and welcome!

Our aim is to offer our international client an exclusive individualised funds management service. Our high degree of professionalism and flexibility in combination with neutrality and independence enables us to ensure you a long-term, trustworthy business relationship.

WorldPrivateFunds Admin”.

The second program that has been added to my monitoring list today is TrinalFunds. I must say that the program is utilizing the same idea that was first introduced by the admin of StaunchFinances of dividing your deposit into various different funds. Last time that idea didn’t work well and the program collapsed even before the completion. The plan itself was a great idea and very popular among those who joined. Unfortunately the timing was bad and with the industry at such a low point at the time it just wasn’t meant to be. Twelve months ago it would have been a roaring success. Hopefully with the first signs of recovery this program will be more of a success. Anyway, even from the name TrinalFunds you might guess that your principal in the program will be divided into three parts: 33% will go to a short-term plan (120% after 4 days, 130% after 5 days or 140% after 6 days depending on the chosen plan), 33% will go to the weekly plan (20% for 2 weeks, 18% for 5 weeks or 16% for 7 weeks) and 33% will go to the daily plan which will also depend on the plan chosen when investing (2.5% for 40 days, 3% for 50 days or 3.5% for 60 days). The remaining 1% left over will go to a weekly lottery which will hopefully be explained in detail by the admin soon. I’m glad to report that the minimum to deposit in TrinalFunds is only $2 into each plan and you can join via multiple payment choices: LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, StrictPay, GlobalDigitalPay and AlertPay. Their banners also contain SolidTrustPay but I can’t see them among the available processors just yet. Perhaps the admin is going to add them in the future. TrinalFunds has just launched today and is very well laid-out. The investment process is managed by a famous Gotenks script (so you have to fund your account first before making an investment). TrinalFunds is SSL-secured and is hosted by BlackLotus with the best possible enterprise level of DDoS-protection. Everything indicates that the admin is pretty serious when setting it up. The site will be reviewed on MNO soon so stay tuned for that, guys!

I have been paid today from the following programs featured on my monitoring page:
OnyxInvClub, FluxRates, SeatRonacs, YamaFinance. HOX, FinalEarn, GroupUniversal, OilStructure, GoldCollarInvest, UniteTrade, CherryShares, BookmakerOffice, YesInvestment, GoldenInvestment, EzProfit, BullInvest, RedOrchidInvest, CashMiner and OptimumPride (the first payment received).

I hope to see you on MNO tomorrow with more news from the industry. See you then, everyone!
