HighYield Investment Fund - what can I say? Awesome?

Not many programs out there that you can earn from 7 days a week, plus you don't have to do anything everyday either. HighYield Investments Fund is a set and forget situation. The admin has cleaned out all inactive account, mind you there was plenty of them apparently going by the news section. Makes me wonder why people join then never utilize what they went to the effort to join. Min. deposit is $1 and you get a free $2.50, geez how hard is that to accept as a temptation. Set it on auto-compound and see how it goes. Or rotate the compound like I have been doing. Week on and week off, or just change it when I feel like it. Joined 15 December and no drama here. Just a reminder though, you never get your principle back, you just earn for the lifetime of the program on your upgrade. Good daily percentages to date, they are on the front page. Naturally if you do venture, usual rules apply - gamble responsibly.

Surf-O-Matic - free domain?? Stay tuned

Seems out quiet admin forgot to pay for his hosting. The site dropped off during the night and now is a parked domain (expired) One of the members has emailed the admin, so we shall wait and see what transpires. The site has approximately 26 upgraded members and we have been enjoying some good surfing earnings. Actually seeing HYIPs are the trend these days, he might come back with a HYIP site :) I am not saying he has gone anywhere, probably just an oversite as Randy is a casual admin busy earning elsewhere to pay SOM members. Here's hopeing we will be back up and running soon.

Panamoney - believe it or not - still powering on !

Today I received a "nice" cashout from Panamoney. One of my upgrades expired on Friday and I decided to withdraw this one along with some earnings, I still have others running. The site was down over the weekend, but was due to maintenance, but of course many forum hoppers were shouting doom and gloom. Seeing they don't trade on the weekend it is the time to do maintenance, so made sense to me, plus looks like they have done some security work to the site, which is a good thing as is becoming more and more popular. So all in all, pleased with the continuous service that Panamoney is providing.

XagaEnterprise - fingers and toes crossed on this one

Time has come where I am having doubts about Xaga Enterprises. I certainly hope I am wrong, but I when payments stopped I actually sent Kevin an email regarding the monitors posting their payments in the forums where members weren't, and his reply was to prevent nayslayers. Hmmm We, the members, were told that no payments would be made due to the changing of the script. Also weighing heavily was during this time there seemed to be no interruption to the site showing that enhancements were in fact happening. With time marching on, well makes our thoughts wander as well. He has been ultra quiet of late. So was the going private a money grab? or was he serious about upping the anti so he can make money for us? Now with the latest email saying that he is waiting for e-currency purchases!! That just about takes the cake in my books. He is pretty quick to withdraw the dollars coming in - close on $150,000 if his call was right!! Just not adding up. But as usual a wait and see. I could be wrong as like everyone else I am only speculating and dotting the i's and crossing the t's with the info provided to members via email. Fingers and toes crossed :)

Playing the waiting game

Time stops for nobody. Just thought I would drop by and touch base with some home truths. Not all is well in this online moneymaking world. Yep, my turnover has been reduced to nearly nil. Waiting for various programs to either windup completely or just finish enhancements. All we can do is wait and see what happens, however I have been doing a fair bit of reading and digging for something. lol yeah something that can be profitable for a lone earner. To tell the truth, not much out there that I can find. Seems the whole market is fixed on "lists" and referrals. I have come across some interesting comments on my travels. One that sticks in my head is where someone is boasting in a forum when asked how they make money in this program. They replied by saying I join a better looking program, send out hundreds of emails through my list and play with the referral commissions, it is the only way to make money, don't use your own. If this is the mentality of today no wonder the industry is in strife. What ever happened to making money from money, the backbone members who don't have referrals? Has short term greed just taken over?
Okay, had my gripe for the day. Believe me I want to play in the hyip's as some are looking good, but until some of the dollars I have in pending are paid I can't participate. Being held to ransom it feels like, only the loud players see any payments and the rest of us are left with promises. That's the name of the game. So whatever you play, gamble responsibily. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Panamoney - still trading on

I haven't really commented much on Panamoney over the time, however it is the most stable program I have been a part of since first joining. With the demise of some of the biggies, well we think they are on their way out and won't know for sure until the proverbial "fat lady sings" but Panamoney just keeps paying. The returns vary daily depending on trade, however still a great performer.
The last 8 days trading figures: but you can pick your own pairs or just go with default. Either way you earn.

I have always been paid in a timely fashion here and to date have no problems. Remember if you decided to venture, do gamble responsibly. Just sharing personal experiences of a program that has served well since Sept 2008 when first joined.

HYIFund - Free $2.50 investment to new members. Earn 7 days a week

Still just cruising with HyiFund. A great set and forget program. Depending how you want to play it of course, but so far sooooo good :) For those who may have an inactive account, meaning you joined, probably put on autocompound, well it's time to do something or your account will be deleted. It only takes $1 to become a fully fledged player.

Spring User Cleanup
March 14, 2010, 1:28AM
As part of our annual spring cleaning, we will be reviewing the accounts in our system and deleting all inactive accounts. Accounts are considered inactive if they are more than 2 weeks old, and have not yet made a deposit. Any account that has made a deposit is considered active and will left untouched. The purpose of this, is that we are attempting to speed up our databases. With 37,000 accounts, the servers can become a little "bloated" at times. By removing inactive accounts, we will be able to increase the speed of our website to serve you better. The spring clean up will take place on March 18th.

If you aren't a member, what are you waiting for :) Pays daily!

Double Funds - Fizzled?

Geez a person is starting to get a phobia as to if the surf industry can in fact survive. Seems a brilliant concept has gone begging with DoubleFunds. Possibly could have set a new standard, but no use even dreaming about that one now. Five days and no payments. Well not to me, but I don't see any posted anywhere around the place either. Also no update email from the admin. With the site stats showing, the writing is on the wall. Looks like another one down the tubes. Sigh! A shame

Memoriam for Dorky - A year has passed

I can't believe that a year has passed since Dorks passed away. A day never passes where I don't think of him or something reminds me of past experiences/memories.  Some days I unthinkingly go to send him a message in gmail chat, but his light is no longer showing green or orange for that matter.
This morning I drove out to his Shed.  In my mind I have been preparing myself for days.  Guess I am not the strongest person in the world, but I haven't been to the Shed since April last year when the boys and I  took Dorks home.  I really don't know what I expected to find or accomplish, but we have had a lot of rain in the last few months, and the road up to the shed is washed out, so I had to walk the last half a kilometer.  I had forgotten how fresh the bush smelt and the growth of all the grasses in the paddocks set the scene.  But mentally I wasn't prepared for the condition of the Shed.  Don't know what I expected really, but it is rundown, overgrown and looks abandoned, as if it has been for years.  (I don't know why I am logging this here, maybe I am destined to, dunno) It was heartbreaking to see.  Maybe it is just me, seeing it for the first time without the rose-colored glasses. I walked down to a log where we used to sit, and say nothing. Sounds weird I know, but it was just a presence thing. No need to talk, just to be there. So many memories, good and some not so good came flooding back.  Just as if I had been blocking them out for so long and the dam wall finally broke, the tears came flooding back, but I don't quite know whom they are for.  Probably me being selfish, so self pity most likely.  I wish I could be stronger, I know I can be, but not now. I blink and I am back a year ago, wishing and hoping that this is all a dream. But reality is, it isn't.  I ask myself how can one person have had such an influence on my life? There is no logical answer, other than he was so understanding, compassionate, well special. At least I got the opportunity to have been one of the lucky people who knew him. For that I am extremely grateful and thankful. I just miss him so much.

"I have lost my soul's companion

A life linked with my own

And day by day I miss him more

As I walk through life alone"

GNI - Officially Closed

To be totally honest, the breaking news really is of no surprise to me, in no way or form am I rubbing salt into the wounds with this comment. Whenever a "big" program falls we can all go back and look at the signs which at the time we pass off as just another hurdle to overcome. The money I was owed back in December would have been a nice bonus, however it was obvious that selective payments were being made with the big guys receiving payments and posting in forums, where many of us little guys (whom hold no weight) were just left to sit back and watch. No complaints here as far as the game play, eventually more and more get into profit so the mushroom gets bigger and the stem thinner. The result is the fall. Really just depends where you are in the mushroom. (I know not quite the best analogy, but that's exactly what I see)We can move on and learn from this. Regardless of what information is told to us, what the business plan is, always "gamble responsibly" and it won't hurt too much when (notice no "if") the wheels fall off, as eventually they will. Nothing lasts forever.
For history sake I will post the last email here. As it is always good to find historic events of the past to help with future decisions in this crazy industry.

GNI Newsletter March 9th. 2010

Greetings to the Most Loyal GNI Friends, Family & Associates and; Nemesis:
As I have mentioned in the forum, I have spent the last few days in Northern Cyprus trying desperately to obtain those funds which belong to us - members and principals of Goldnuggetinvest.com.
Besides myself, I have been privileged to be assisted by Counsel (one of our attorneys) to not just make a strong presence on behalf of some faceless arbitrage project; indeed, but to help me place a face on the thousands of loyal GNI Customers who have (rightfully or not) depended on our presence and weekly payments to:
1.   pay the rent or mortgage,
2.   pay doctor's bills,
3.   pay for a family member's schooling,
4.   retire in a manner that is consistent with the years of service provided to their employer,
5.   take a well-deserved vacation with someone special or
6.   have some peace of mind in these troublesome times.
Despite our best efforts, and monumental efforts were made by all concerned, we could not get the directors, regulators or oversight administrators to relent. There were several tactics employed, a couple of which were most creative, but it was of no use. We thought we may have a foot in the door, only to have it cut off. What I can say is we tried damn it....we tried our hardest; but we could not overcome this hurdle.
Without this income, we go in reverse. We have had suggestions, offers which included members giving us funds, members willing to delay the taking of payments, partial payments, the entire spectrum of suggestions; the reality is, however, these suggestions amount to a band-aid when in fact a tourniquet is called for.
I must, for the sake of the sanity of myself and my family, the GNI Team Members, the Principals and our most trusted customers, shut down Goldnuggetinvest.com effective immediately and permanently. This decision will not be reversed.
Refunds: Despite the 'disingenuous' overtones having made its way around the world of on-line investing, we will be refunding those members who are NOT in profit, an amount equal to 101.5% of their principal investment (this includes interest payments already received) rendering EVERY person who invested with us, more than whole as defined by Commonly Accepted Principles of Accounting. The instructions will be provided within the next 48-72 hours; will be straight-forward so this can be expedited.
The newGNI: GNI has the concept, the tools and the strategy somewhat perfected in the world of Sure-Bets. We will be making an announcement at  08:00 (GMT) on Friday, March 12 as it pertains to our future. We can give a hint: It will be a completely and totally PRIVATE program fashioned in a manner that is compliant in any and all world-wide jurisdictions with no limitations. This program has been in the planning stages for nine months and was to be run in parallel with GNI. Nothing more will be said until Friday.
Summary / Conclusion:  I want to take a moment to thank all of you, our GNI family for all the kind words and support you have shown over the past several months. I never anticipated some of the hurdles which we had been forced to try to navigate. This program was my baby, you were my extended family. This program was a sense of pride, an attempt to help those of you who needed it the most. I have never, nor has my team, hid from reality; perhaps we were a bit over-confident, but our intentions were and always have been true.
Our next chapter will be very bright, very private, but very bright. I hope to see all of you join in the journey.
Thank you from my heart!
With kind regards,
Robert and the GNI Team

NanomoneyCorp? Be patient and time will tell, as always

Be a smart move to tread lightly here. Since massive alleged DDOS attack, some downtime, now site is protected with a click in page, which is all acceptable. However, payments don't seem to be forthcoming, as many pendings reported, but the thing that got me really cautious is, instead of getting a member email explaining about downtime and protection, well we got an email about some conference being held in June. Now, was this a buying time tactic? or just bad timing? As members we have to think wisely. It was a strange thing. So currently I have NanoMoneyCorp on hold, and if and when the situation changes, I will change accordingly. If you gambled responsibly there won't be a panic, but it isn't over, yet. Stay positive and let's just wait and see. You never know what the real outcome here will be. Yeah I know we have all seen it before. Just be careful and be responsible.

HYIFund - Free $2.50 investment to new members. Earn 7 days a week

Been through a little downtime with HyiFund, but credit to the admin all is up and running smoothly again. Apparently was DDOS attacks so protection has been implemented. All days have been credited for and payments are appearing on a regular basis. I also received my request from today, today lol. Patience is a requirement in this industry, sometimes it pays off, and sometimes well whatever happens is going to happen. With HyiFund, really what have you got to lose? Only what you upgrade with. See you can join and get $2.50 for free, and to be eligible for a cash out you only have to spend a dollar. Why don't you join, put on compound, set and forget lol Well I play a bit with a withdrawal here and there, but decided to put a few bucks in to make it worthwhile. Safer than plenty of other places that have come and gone in the meantime.
Just remember you don't ever get your original or any spends back, ok? Gamble responsibly, but look at what your missing out on.

DoubleFunds - 30+ days - regular payments. You want more??

Been a member here since 2nd February, no problems to date. It is a lower ROI surf site with a built in upgrade splitter. No hit and running here, actually it is uniquely developed plan. The admin just stays in the background, occasionally surfacing to answer an issue on the forum. Really amazes me that it isn't more popular, but then again the big hitters aren't here. Which makes it better for the rest of us. lol Of course I don't have any insight and am just enjoying the site with constant payments. With all the sites that have failed lately due to lack of member support, well this one is still going, due to the plans setup, plus of course the admin is sticking with us. That's a good thing. I am reporting my personal experiences and thoughts here. No bias in anyway, to me if someone wants to join a site that I am in, great, as it's good for all members. Chose a referral link and check out the site for yourself, but be careful there are many around with temp. cookies attached. To be sure you join who you want, I actually sign up in another brower, lol I don't really trust the cookie flushing. But that's just me, I do things my may. Gets the desired results.
Enjoy your weekend.

Xaga Enterprise - GOING PRIVATE !! read the latest member update here

As I posted a few days back XagaEnterprises is something that it believeable, works on outside income from not gambling itself, but working the rewards system. It is explained in detail (well enough lol) on the site. The big news is the latest newsletter. Now read this closely. Could be the opp we have been looking for. I will copy it here for those who haven't taken the plunge yet, and don't have this info. Only sent about an hour ago.
GOING PRIVATE SOON !!!

Dear AussieLady,
Due to the fact the baccarat gaming tables have maximum betting limit ( around 25K each hand ) and the amazing growth of Xaga Enterprise ( around 4K members ), I decide to go private soon. The total amount accepted for investing in Xaga Enterprise is limited to $150,000 only! As soon it reaches the target, the investment button will be closed.
So you may consider to add some investment here. It’s an option. Not a must. When it hits $150,000, members and visitors can’t invest anymore and the reinvestment feature will be disabled as well.
Please notice that Xaga Enterprise is not a forex based company. Xaga Enterprise is a legitimate business run by the pros. Comps trading model. I can’t handle any larger amount above $150,000.
Xaga Enterprise will go private soon. Let’s make some money guys!
Thank you. Xaga Rocks!
Regards.
Kevin and Team

Well there you have it.  No outlandish levels - wow  only $150,000 and that's it. If you aren't a member, well take a closer look.  Who knows?  This could be a great longer term earner, that "something" to get a little excited about lol  usual rules apply lol  gamble responsibly.

247Shack ~ The lights off in the Shack - Official

Saw the email come in.

Dear members,
I'm deeply sad to say but I have to close 247SHACK. I tried my best to run an honest program but I didn't get enough support from most of the members to continue on. The past 10 days have been very crucial as no deposits came in enough to sustain the program. Today's total deposit was a mere $50 from one member (which I will refund), yesterday was $55 total from two members. I've paid more than $2K the other day when a lot of the first day deposits matured but only had $37.41 came in from two members. I guess it is true that Autosurfing is dead as I see a lot of HYIP's flourishing.

I also purchased a lot of banner advertising from major forums yesterday but it didn't help either. Right now, I do not have any pendings as I've paid all requests with what's left of our money. In the next few days, please continue requesting as normal and I will pay until our funds are dry. If you are requesting in LR, please add your STP, SP or PM ID also as I've used most of our LR in paying for hosting/domain, site designer, script/programmer, and advertising. I will also disable the deposits page after I send this.

I'm sorry but I didn't get to the point where I can actually invest our pool money somewhere to make money for everybody. All that means is some are in profit but some are at a loss too. Next time, I will try again and start a HYIP with a low-ROI so I can actually have time to invest the money. But for now, I will honor withdrawal requests until I can pay them and refund some who are at a big loss.

Good luck to all!
Brent

Yes I am sad that this has happened, for many reasons.  Makes you wonder what it will take to get things round the place moving again. As suggested, lower ROI hyips seem to be the rage today.  I just can't get over the surf's of today, really some are out and out scandalous and yet get support, for awhile anyway, but one comes along with all the makings of a great site sigh --- well it's done and dusted now.  Damn shame. If Brent opens a low ROI site, I'm in.  Excuse me for dribbling in my coffee, but ): oh well, life goes on.

247Shack - The surf that changes the tide? Boat rockin' is good :)

Today is the first day of the 15 day plans maturing, my first one has and I have been paid, plus the daily paid upgrades have been paid everyday. The admin here is concertedly giving us an opportunity to earn in a safe environment. It's a two way street, need members to make money for everyone, no bones about that. The more members, the merrier, so if your thinking about having a punt here, sitting on the fence isn't going to help. Participation is the key. Pick someone you would like to help and join under their link, (there is a promo on today Wed and Thur - 10% referral coms) of course don't bet the farm, upgrade and post payments and have some fun in the forums.
Update from Admin: "Currently we only have 160 members, and after 16 days in the market, that is quite low based on my expectations. And on to the good news, I think it is best to reward those who try to help the program and others to make money, so tomorrow and Thursday server time, we will give a 10% referral commission! Now's the best time to make money from your downlines by encouraging them to support our site. Many say that the autosurf industry is already dead, how about we prove them wrong! I started this program to do just that! 
Please visit our forums and be active. Post your payment proofs. Promote your referral links in your signatures." 
What do you say? Just imagine if a few hundred members did just that? The industry really needs something NOW, and my gut feeling is that bshack (admin) is the man to steer the ship, but a crew is needed. You up for the challenge? Site's been running 15 days with no problems at all. Enjoy :)

Surf-O-Matic - quiet but a gem

Can you believe it? Well Surf-O-Matic has 26 active members, no big out there type of site, but it just keeps plugging along. Not much to say here but I will quote what RandyM the admin said a week or so ago. He's not the forum poster like many other admins. I was paid yesterday and now in profit, as I would say most of his members are.

"Sorry for no updates as you all know i have never been an active communicator that is my down fall, All payments are paid. Most of you know that there was some issues with SP in their funding and withdraws. Hence you see payments form LR and not from SP.As far as member count growing more That is not a priority for me, My priority is making money to pay you all.
Because i have real investments this is why there is no time frame for payments in the terms. For those looking on and wondering why o join or not you can ask our dedicated members that payments always get made.
That is the difference in Surf-o-matic and other sites is that we come through.
RandyM"
