Hi, guys! I wasn’t able to publish the news yesterday, but not because I was lazy (you know I’m a bit more dedicated that). The reason was more simple than you might think – basically a complete lack of news. Yes, the last two days were pretty silent and maybe it’s for the best as those program that are supposed to be paying keep paying. So in this sense no news is good news and you will probably agree with my point.

Anyway, since I’m now in Basel I simply couldn’t miss the opportunity to explore the area of the three borders. You see (for the benefit of non-European readers) the greater metropolitan area of Basel spills into three different countries and occupies the area where France, Germany, and Switzerland all meet on the magnificent and idyllic setting of the river Rhine. And so yesterday I went by foot to all three countries. It took me over seven hours but that included a leisurely stroll through some quaint French villages on the west bank and a lengthy dinner near the Three Countries bridge, a pedestrian bridge linking France and Germany with a perfect view on Rhine river. Then turn the corner from the restaurant and you walk back into Switzerland again. It really is an amazing experience to be able to spend your Sunday walking through three different countries but have no customs, no visible borders (just a road sign where I posed for a couple of touristy photos with a foot in each country, lol!) and no passport control. So although I cannot say that Swiss chocolate is the best, a trip there definitely must be on your “to-do” list as the country itself is really interesting and I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s train ride to Geneva where I’m going to stay for a few more days.

Let’s get back to the news from the HYIP industry. And I think it best to start with news from UniteTrade which seems to have broken every record and the admin of which (interviewed here) proved to everybody that it’s possible to run a successful short-term program for nearly six months already. Yes, you heard right, UniteTrade pays 120% after 7 days and 150% after 15 days for such a long time already and reached already #10 in MNO rankings. And after nearly six months online it doesn’t even show the slightest sign of slowing down yet. On the contrary, in today’s exciting newsletter it was finally announced that the withdrawals to all three payment processors accepted by them (LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay) would be instant from now on. I believe that the implementation of the SSL-secured connection makes the instant withdrawals possible which will definitely provide a higher level of safety and security for them in the future. Such positive changes of course cannot remain unnoticed and even before today’s newsletter was sent to the members of UniteTrade I was kind of pleased to notice myself that the withdrawals became instant so there’s no need to wait anymore to get paid. Please note that instant withdrawals are still in the beta testing stages and if you encounter any issue and your withdrawal wasn’t processed instantly please write to the admin of UniteTrade Andy and he promises to fix it and pay your withdrawal within 12 hours time. Of course, you should still remember that UniteTrade (reviewed here) is still a game so do not invest anything you can’t afford to lose. But the fact that UniteTrade lasted for about six months already makes any mention of a crisis in the HYIP industry simply laughable. And if UniteTrade can last for such a long time there simply cannot be any excuse for very fast collapsing multiple short-term scams that flooded the industry recently. For your attention here is the full latest newsletter from UniteTrade (the admin might be not so good in English but he definitely knows how to run a successful program:

“Hello to all of the dear members in UniteTrade.

Vodapex (reviewed here) which pays instantly 2.8% for 45-120 days is another perfect example of a pretty well planned and organized successful program that managed to reach #8 in MNO ranking after only seven weeks online. The admin of the program proved to be very professional who can handle any single issue and reply to any support ticket quite fast and diligently. The latest example of such dedicated and diligent work can be seen in his handling of the double instant payout issue, successfully fixing the accounts after they were paid twice. So in today’s email to the members the admin reminds us about their server configuration and outlined the issue that led to the double payouts in the first place. You can read the full newsletter from Vodapex below:
“Subject: Vodapex – Double Payments!
As you may or may not be aware, Vodapex uses 2 dedicated servers for security purposes.
Our normal software application files are hosted on a dedicated (Koddos DDoS Protected + SSL), $600 a month server, while our payment modules are hosted on another DDoS + SSL dedicated server with another company.
Both servers work together as a network mesh for backups, etc, to provide an enhanced security for Vodapex. The purpose of this mesh network is to provide rest of mind for us and our big and small investors, while we continue to drive Vodapex to achieve its profitable and long term aim.
Some people may already have noticed that they were paid twice today. We had sent the payment script to both servers and made a payment call to both servers. This was noticed by us and corrected immediately.
So if you have already withdrawn a double payment, there is nothing to worry about. The correction has been made. This correction only applies to accounts (100 of them) that received double payments.
Please contact us any time if you have any questions.
Best Regards. Admin. Vodapex.”

Today is Monday which means that the cashout button in 144CashAds is open once again. You can now withdraw your profits which will be paid pretty fast as usual. If you’re not aware of 144CashAds you should really read my review of the program published here and the interview with the admin published here. The program deserves some attention largely based on the very unique investment model that cannot be found in any other online HYIP. Basically, you will be paid 144% return on your investment but within different periods of time and the subsequent deposits in the shorter term plans are only allowed when you deposit not less than a specified amount in the longer term ones. The fact that along with LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney also SolidTrustPay and AlertPay are accepted is also adding to the growing popularity of 144CashAds. I cannot say that the program is very popular yet but the level of growth was gradual and steady so far therefore we can hope that 144CashAds will stay with us for a long time. Here is the latest short email update from the admin:
“Hi. Hope you all enjoyed weekend. Cash out button has been opened for current week. You can now withdraw your earning.
Welcome all new members. If you need any help pls feel free send us support mail or chat online.
Remember we will increase our advertising cost from 1st oct.
Thank you. Lewies
Project admin”.

According to the admin of GrapeVineFunds which also accepts all the popular payment processors into daily, weekly and monthly long-term plans (read the MNO review for more information on that here) his program is also doing quite well. The growth has been stable so far and Ryan, (that’s his name), thanked some members for the successful promotion that captured the attention of hundreds of investors already. He is also ready to answer all your personal questions if you have some, so don’t hesitate to ask him about anything you might be interested in. Here is the latest email from GrapeVineFunds:
“Hello. We are showing no signs of a slowdown as members are joining and investing at an amazing rate, it seems we have captured the imagination of hundreds. Payouts are up to date and most investors are being paid out in under 12 hours. We are here to keep our promises and because we are paying quite fast confidence is growing and we are finding that many members are investing in the much more profitable monthly payment plans. I noticed that some members are promoting well and getting some nice rewards. Any questions? Just drop me a PM and i will do my best to answer it quickly as always.
Ryan”.

I noticed today that the site of FxTradingWorldwide was not accessible for me (although I was paid all the pending requests already). So I contacted the admin of the program and was notified that some IP addresses can access the site while some others cannot. The admin of the program promised to contact the support of Dragonara with whom FxTradingWorldwide is hosted and ask them about the cause for this issue. Hopefully, it will be fixed soon and I will let you all know on my blog after I’m able to access my account in FxTradingWorldwide once again. Meanwhile, you can read my review of the program here if you are interested in knowing more.

Let’s now analyze the results of the polls that have been running on MNO over the previous week. After the collapse of StrictPay I decided to find out your opinion on the remaining payment processors. As I expected, LibertyReserve proved to be the most popular option and scored 49% of the votes. I believe that reflects the reality of the situation as I don’t remember the last HYIP that didn’t accept them. Second place goes to AlertPay with 26% but it’s a weaker performance than in the previous poll when it was much closer to LR. I believe that it’s connected to the recent unreasonable blocking of HYIP accounts and recent delays with refunding the members who suffered from scams. Third place went to SolidTrustPay with 17% of the votes. Despite a very strict verification process and unpopularity among most of the HYIP admins SolidTrustPay is still one of investors’ favorites so the admins should keep this in mind when launching new programs. PerfectMoney is fourth with 4% of the votes. While I believe that it’s used very commonly in the HYIP world it’s still significantly less popular than LibertyReserve which also is also reflected in its exchange rates as well. GlobalDigitalPay didn’t score any votes at all and I believe its potential success was severely affected by the long-time downtime which made their security issues visible to everybody. I must say though that recently GlobalDigitalPay is doing ok and I believe that they have fully recovered though still too weak to pose any serious competition to LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. I must notice that 3% of all the investors prefer other payment processors as their favorites. I believe it might be RoutePay, Pecunix, WebMoney or maybe even PayPal. Who knows what they meant when submitting replies to that question.

Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed the poll and I have another question for you which asks the following: What is your favorite exchanger? As you know exchangers are an essential part of the industry and without their help many people would have great difficulty in moving funds in and out of any payment processor. Their role in the industry is in this way very important. So I picked a few of the major exchangers that you might like and choose your favorite one. They are: xChanger.org, Wm-Center.com, ExtremeXchange.com, GoldExPay.com, M-Gold.com, SwapGold.com. If there is none of your favorite exchangers listed here then please select the “Other Exchanger” option. It will be interesting to see the results of the poll by the end of the week. So please keep voting!

In the poll from MNO Reader Profiles I was curious about some personal habits last week, and especially I was eager to see if you smoked. So I’m glad to report that 61% of MNO readers do not smoke and it was the most popular answer. Only 23% do smoke but I hope you can successfully quit and realize how much better life can be without a cigarette. I bet that the 14% of MNO readers that used to smoke but successfully quit can confirm that to everybody. And then there are 2% who smoke but are trying to quit now. Good luck with that, guys!

The next poll from MNO Reader Profiles will asks your favorite movie genre. First of all, I hope that you like movies, enjoy going out to cinemas or simply like to relax on the couch with your favorite movie DVD. So What is your favorite film genre? Please choose from the following categories: action, comedy, drama, sci-fi, horror, romance, western. I hope to find out what MNO readers really like and we’ll have the results next week.

By the way, all the polls are located in the bottom of my left and right sidebar and you can vote for your favorite things and see the results with just one click. Please be more active and let’s find out more about each other.

Don’t forget also that the cash contest sponsored by PawnShopFund is still running on MNO and you can find different types of questions here and try your luck to win a $5 cash prize daily straight to your LibertyReserve account which proved to be the most popular payment processor among MNO readers. So congratulations to the many readers who already won free money and I’m looking forward to seeing more winners soon!
