Updates - 31st January 2006

Well, the world of HYIPs and well, money, keeps on turning around so here's the latest goss. First up, the latest big gun gives us a juicy juicy update. Based on 12DP's track record, these guys should keep spinning for a while, so if you got some extra dosh and you want some massive returns and medium risk, why aren't you in!

Alientrust

“Please read our latest update.

Hello Everyone,

You are receiving this message from the support system from Alientrust. Please excuse the length, but this is very informative.

We want to first off thank everyone for remaining patient with us in our transfer to our new server. We know that several tickets are being submitted on very legitiment terms, however, in order to provide the very best support, we will need to take these tickets in an orderly fashion.

We are going to start by saying again, please do not submit any tickets that are not pertaining to missing upgrades. This is our #1 concern right now. We know several upgrades are still not posted from members accounts and we are making this our #1 priority. If you have a support ticket open or on hold in the system at this time for this issue, please check your status to see if it requires additional information.

We are going to be closing all open tickets that are not pertaining to missing upgrades. This way we can fully adjust our time to completing this large task. Once this is completed we will be working on missed days for surfing. Please refrain from opening any ticket unless it is a missing upgrade.

***Very Important***

We ran the surf holiday script on the 29th. This was ran for the 26th, 27th, and 28th. The script has credited all members accounts that had a current upgrade running. If you didn’t surf, you were credited. However, if you had an upgrade expire on one of those days, you may qualify for a credit. We will be concentrating on that after we get the missing upgrades credited. Please do NOT open a new ticket about this until we contact you again through this mailer.

Another issue that is commonly being addressed is that when you surfed on the 29th, your last ROI credited said the 28th. The reason you saw this was because some of you had surfed on the 29th before the surf holiday script had been ran, of course the last day that was ran was the 28th so it replaced the 29th with the last day the system credited you. If you surfed the 15 sites needed to receive your daily ROI on the 29th, you were credited. We will not credit members accounts for this day. The surfing tab was open and the system was fully functional.

Another problem that members are experiencing is that mozilla browser is causing issues when returning from the surf bar. This is being looked into at this time and we are making arrangements to accomidate those who had problems and may have missed surfing.

Other questions and answers to help clear up things with some of the tickets.

No Activation Email?
We do Not require our members to activate their account through email. Upon signing up, your account is active.

My Site Isn’t Receiving Views?
Be sure to allocate credits to your sites after you have validated it. This is very simple, hit the “Allocate Credits” tab to the right of your credits in the members area and assign an amount of credits to it for site views.

What is the link to the surf bar?
You will click “Ad Viewer” to go into the surf bar.

How many sites must I surf?
15 sites to earn your daily ROI.

We are running at full speed again and are going to have to regulate on the way things are going to be caught up in the support system. We have alot of respect and concern for every member of our program and are only trying to provide the best possible support we can. On occasion things get a little out of hand and everyone feels they need to open a ticket at once. We were/are well aware of what needs to be done and we are going to accomplish this in an orderly fashion.

1. Missing Upgrades - We are currently working on these. Check your status of your ticket.

2. Missing ROI Earnings - Next on agenda and we will email you when to open those tickets.

3. Problems With Account - Passwords, Account info, and other technical issues.

4. Back to Normal - Daily tickets and support desk opened full time to all inquiries.

Thanks for all of your support and encourangement throughout this move. North Shore Media and AlienTrust are doing better than ever and with our new setup, we have sustained our program for many great terms to come. Enjoy your membership and trust that we know whats going on and will address each concern as quickly as possible.

Brian Sams
Managing Director
North Shore Media”"

And onto PixMeUp... They should be launching soon, and the first 'pay run' is in the next 48 hours, though they haven't revealed when. We should get a fancy schmancy new back office soon too.

Well, that'll do for now!

P.S. I have a nice "Private Progam" that has been around for two years. If you want details, email me about it and put Private Program in the header.

Oh, and on a final note, I've started trading forex myself! *congrats to me* You should see some posts and hopefully some informative articles about that real soon, and I'll probably ploink them in this here blog and keep them archived and organized. But give me a little while to keep testing out my trading system first!

Ciao y'all, it's a big world out there, with a lot of opportunities!

Updates - 30th January 2006

Well, we actually got some solid news for a change instead'a me rambling so here's some quick short sharp bytes from the HYIP and Online Earning worlds.

MPDW

Another winning week boys and girls, with a 4.15% return, a bit of an improvement on previous weeks. A bit of controversy brews regarding MPDW, I thought I should warn you. Check out this thread. Read up and make a decision for yourself which side you land on. All I know is that the likes of NS-FG ARE a lot more transparent, but MPDW have treated me well so far and both sides of the MPDW argument have valid points.

Alientrust

Got a nice payout from these guys, they continue to impress, even if their new site design isn't as pretty as the last one!

Peraads

If you want to get fast tracked to level 2 in FOUR months instead of SIX - join and PAY NOW! Before February 1st. After that time, the special offer is over and it reverts to the six month method. (In Level 1, you earn 10% a month... at Level 2, you can earn up to 100% a month. So you want to get to Level 2 as quickly as possible!)

PixMeUp

Well, after a bit of mucking around my ads are finally activated. These guys are still picking up enormous heat so remember, if you have $25 and want to join, join as soon as the first opportunity presents itself to you, as there are many elements of MLM and a Matrix associated with it, so an earlier position will prove more profitable. And once your in, market it to friends and family! Spread the word to businesses. It's a cool little co-op for us all.

GMI VC Shares

Here's the latest GMI VC Shares update straight from the Gordon's mouth:

"GMI VCSHARES Press Release

Many people have started to get the hang of VCSHARES>
Some have actually managed to recoup all of their original investment with Global Mutual.

Might I suggest an investment strategy.

First select GMI-Executive Options at one of the lower prices.
Then immediately list the same shares at the going GMI reccomended price.

Shortly a bottom line sale price will ensure that shares sale prices can not be under valued.

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE ALL NEW GMI-VITAL AGENT SHARES.

This is a limited offer based on a limited amount of capital needed.
Vital is a Cleaning Company Tycoon buying up small cleaning runs,
re-organizing them, placing a manger, then going onto the next one.
A dividend will be paid monthly. When all 15,000 shares are sold, this group will close and sit, and we will open the #2 Group.

I can personally vouch for this Business, having watched the owner start with nothing, and build the business up to a 300k p.a. as it stands. There are a number of very successful Commercial Cleaning Businessmen that have made their millions on this concept. You can clean up of this one.

I am going to restructure the other business opportunities to allow syndicate buying. However, until certain limits are met, only a small dividend is payable. This is because we place a small portion into FX trading allowing dividends to be paid even in a bad month.

WINE: Australian Wines. I have stiddied the stats on this manytimes. Australian Wine, if you did not know it, is the most profitable in the world. We can make a 300-600% profit over 18 months to 3 years. Dont underestimate this one.

Olives: This a one of the emerging very trustworthy markets also in Australia. I have personally met with one of the Business partners. They have the goods, have been producing and marketing fruit for six years, and now seeking to expand. Remeber this one does not pay for 5 years, however, The Farm is real, and can be checked up on. EMAIL ME FOR A FULL PROSPECTUS.

REALTY, Australian Realty now boasts the strongest growth rate over the last ten years of anywhere in the world.

GMI prides itself on five star choice investments only. The rest is riff raff. Again, Approach me by email with your afforable deposit amount, and I will personally find and tailor such an investment for you, or join in the lucrative project listed in our Shares Stock.

What if I were to tell you that there is one prime Resort area that I have access to, which boast 85% occupency rate, a min of 10% Capital growth and double Rent Values. These are individually Strata titled Appartments, with various service features available. Depending on the circumstances I can provide Finance for overseas investors up to 85% of the purchase price and up to 95% or even better for Local buyers.

Global Mutual has got to the point where I do need help. It takes time to suss people and trust them. I have some offers now that are proving very usefull for all of us.

Marketing is the main need that I have now.

As you may realize, VCShares is not really a HYIP but a highly leveraged Private Venture Capital Shares based system.

That means that we need a niche in the market to find better acceptance.

Looking forward to maybe travelling this year and meeting some of my team and GMI members.

Thats all for now,

Cheers,

Gordon
GMI

Realty"

Yes, I can confirm Gordon is seeking out people to help him. And I can also confirm the GMI VC Shares market is starting to show movement and the sell prices are moving up quickly! Good stuff all round.

Till next time, ciao y'all.

12 Daily Pro Compounding Payouts

Well, you're sitting around making money on the net, and thinking: "Hey, when am I gonna get paid by 12 Daily Pro?"

Well, dear sires and sirettes, is the answer:

"We wanted to take this time to update all of you who chose the compounding option for your E-Gold transition payments of the payment process we will be implementing regarding these compounded upgrade payments.

We offered the compounding option to members in an attempt to allow anyone who needed time to setup and get verified a new Stormpay or EMO account as needed. Unfortunately we did not ancitipate the sheer number of members who would choose to have their compounded upgrade payments paid to EMO.
Because such a large amount of these compounded upgrades were all purchased on one day, they are all due to be paid out on the same day when normally they would have been spread out over the course of 2 weeks.

When we look at the numbers, that means that for that day we would be paying out almost 6 times our normal daily payout to a payment processor.
This is manageable for us in the case of StormPay, as we have a substantial reserve fund there. But just as EMO transition payments were slow early on due to the need to move funds, compounded upgrade payments to EMO will similarly be affected.

Moving the necessary funds into place, once compounded members made their choice for processor is not a process that can be done quickly. We are also very concerned that payment of these funds all at once will result in mass upgrades on the day(s) of payments which will through off the balance of funds going forward.

Because of the above factors, we will need to extend the payment period for Compunded EMO payments to within 10 business days. However we would like to offer an alternative for those of you that may be able to take advantage of it. Your compounded upgrade is currently set to be paid to the payment processor and ID you have set in your account. If you have chosen the EMO option and would rather be paid out faster, we suggest you change your payment ID to a StormPay one. StormPay compounded payments are planned to begin Sunday, January 29 and will all be paid within the normal
7 business days. We plan to begin payment of compounded EMO upgrades the morning of Monday, January 30, at which time your selected payment ID will be ‘locked in’. So if you make a change, you will need to do so by Sunday night.

On Monday, after everyone has made their final choice, we will be able to give you are more precise prediction on when we will have all the payments completed.

We thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Alientrust Is Back In Black... No Wait, It's Silver!

Well, after four hours of downtime the mighty Alientrust returns as version 2.0

Some thoughts -

The stuff on their homepage is more clearly defined, explained now.

They've gotten rid of the flash. So it loads a little quicker, though I must admit the new silver colour schemes, etc. enhance readability but are a little less slick/professional looking than before.

Maybe they'll smooth out the design a little bit, it can always be tweaked.

Go check it out, Alientrust said they would be back with version 2.0 and here they are, even with a handy little RackSpace logo down the bottom!

CG Financial

Well as I mentioned a while ago, CG Financial once in a while opens up a window to make higher profits.

Here is one such window:

"Our fourth venture capital project is available now to all our account holders. This fourth venture capital project is with the same group we closed the three previous ones.

The venture capital project terms are the following:

- Minimum deposit $50
- Maximum deposit $50,000
- Return 200% after four months. (Deposit $1,000 receive $2,000 after four months)
- Deadline February 12th.


For further details just log into your account, click on "check funds/make deposit" link and see CGF VC IV."

So, yes, if you wanna make money in CG Fin now would seemingly be the time to jump into this HYIP with a good track record. After the four months, one could conceivably invest the higher profits into their lower earning profits plans.

Yes, CG Fin have run plans like this in the past successfully without incident, so I see it as no sign to worry, or a grab for money, just an opportunity for us all. Just remember - it's in our hands. They're an old, quiet work horse that doesn't draw attention to itself, but just keeps putting along, much like Goldenrocks.

PixMeUp And The Temple Of Customers

Well, another nice daily update from good 'ole PixMeUp, which is looking to be a very wicked gold rush on the Internets, if you get in early/now it looks like a very good chance to make some cash. Make some money online! (Yeah yeah I'm just putting that there for search engines and web crawlers and all that. :-) )

Anyway, here's the go:

"Over the last few days Customer Service has successfully activated at least 7000 ads manually. A feat unto itself, as we have also managed to continue working on other issues you have. Our efforts continue here as we move towards this weekend and the migration to our new software platform.

While we have accomplished a lot there is still much more to do. I ask that you wait until Thursday to notify us of any inactive ads as we will have caught up with payments by that time. Additionally, many of you used a URL that was only intended for the use of specific people whose ads were missing. Many of you sent receipt copies for ads that are waiting to be activated rather than ads that were actually missing. By doing this you inadvertently slowed us down on activating the ads you all had placed since Sunday. Please make sure you read the instructions thoroughly when I send out these emails so we can speed up the process of taking care of all of you.

I ask that you all check your back offices for accuracy in your profiles. Checking your sponsor information and going to the URL I've previously given in the email dated January 22, 2006, to make those corrections. We've provided you with this tool so that you can affect the change yourself and do not need to wait on us as this is critical for the payment process.

I would also recommend that all of you go to the demo of the new back office software, located on the welcome page to your back office, and become familiar with the new software as it will become effective on Monday. The new system will allow us to automate many of the areas which are presently manual data input thus allowing us to provide you with better customer service. We also have a great tool called the Trouble Ticket that will facilitate the prompt response to any issue you might have. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this and help anyone in your down line that may need extra assistance with functionality.

We here in Customer Service really want to thank you all for your support, the kind words of encouragement and your belief that we could take care of you. Please know that everyday we are working hard on improving systems to help us better serve you."

So, they've got a lot to get through, but never fear, I have been informed on reasonably reliable information that everything is time and date stamped so you won't lose your position if you get in early.

Ciao, y'all!

Alientrust, Peraads And Got-Zip

Well a bit of news from the world of autosurfs...

Alientrust

“Hey Gang,

I see some of you have been checking up on us lol:) Calling RackSpace - that’s really funny. Anyway, I just wanted to update everyone on the server move, we’re getting things configured today and we’re shooting for this evening, or I guess I should say tomorrow morning to begin the migration.

All the files have been moved, we just need to stop all the connections to the database to we can get a good back up and then dump it and move it over the RS.

Once that’s complete, we’ll repoint the domain and we’re off! Keep in mind it may take quite some time to propogate over depending on where you are in the world. We’ll make tomorrow a surfing holiday and write a script to do a mass credit to everyone’s account.

This will only be a 24 hour holiday and after tomorrow at midnight we’ll turn stuff back on and you’ll be able to surf, if it’s not propogated where you are then you’ll nee to watch closely to make sure you get your surfing in on the following day.

Remember guys this is tentative, if you see a surf holiday message tonight at midnight server time you’ll know that we got everything done and we’re doing the move, if not then we’ll simply try again tomorrow.

I know many of you have open support requests and Melissa and Brian are going through them as quickly as they can to get your issues resolved. I can’t really help much as this is taking up alot of time trying to learn how to run this new system, there are so many security features I end up locking myself out lol

Anyway, that’s the latest guys and we’ll keep you updated if anything else comes up.

V”

Self-explanatory once again really as these guys forge their way ahead to be one of the most exciting ways to earn money in the autosurf industry.

Oh, and on a different "Online Earning Opportunity" front...

Peraads

If you want to become a premium member and get an EVP do it now! That way you'll get credited for Feb... if you wait any longer you'll have to wait another month. (Cutoff date is nigh.)

I also forgot to mention that Got-Zip commissions were out a while ago for December 2005 as well, and they were once again a leap on the previous months commissions. Check this opportunity out, it could be a big 'un!

How Cute!

Well good ol' (well not that ole, ole!) Chancer got some big ups from over at High Yield Weekly Digest (which coincidentally is about HYIPs and the like. Duh. I mention that 'cos if I don't poxy ol' Adsense just gives me PSAs!)

Thanks Victoria! Everyone go check it out - Victoria's Pick: Stormy In The North, Karma In The South.

Scroll down for the HYIP goodies lads and laddettes, this is just me standing on my pedestal and basking in the warm glow of recognition! Spread the word.

(P.S. Google is not really poxy. I loves teh Google.)

Updates - 25th January 2006

Well here's a few updates from the land of HYIP and online earning opportunity and the like.

Neverending Stori

Automated payments are about to start in the next 24 hours. You in yet? Why not!

Private Opps

Speaks for itself really. Once again. This program has been without a hitch since day one. I still classify them as a HYIP due to lack of transparency, but what a nice HYIP they are indeed! Time will tell if they are something more.

Keep on kicking ass Private Opps.

"Today we marked an important milestone for the PrivateOpps venture - FIXED-ODDS.I is the first Contract to sell out!

Popular among Participants who wanted to "test the waters" and start small (which is a very smart investing strategy), 10,000 Units of FIXED-ODDS.I have been purchased since July 2005.

In preparations for the launch of FIXED-ODDS.III, the private club will not be issuing any new Units. Existing holders of FIXED-ODDS.I Units may, of course, continue to hold them for as long as they wish and earn interest as usual. Upon redemption, the Units will not return to the online marketplace.

On a different matter, we are glad to inform you of a new (positive!) e-gold development. Please visit their website and read the most recent official announcement.

In light of the positive developments and level of confidence we have in the future of e-gold, we are increasing our e-gold reserves back to normal. Back in December most private clubs requested that, as a precaution, we temporarily decrease the e-gold reserves (and at the same time increase the USD bank reserves). These days we are in the process of converting the fiat currency reserves back to e-gold, as it is still the most popular withdrawal method. Instant e-gold withdrawals continue to serve as an important feature of PrivateOpps - one of which we are very proud to offer! You should not experience any delay in your transaction, but in case you do, simply let us know and we will manually process your withdrawal within minutes."

PixMeUp

Just thought I'd mention prelaunch is very very nearly over for these guys so if you want to jump in at the top of this ship NOW is the time.

PixMeUp Has Hype

Well, yes, PixMeUp definitely has the hype wheel turning in the online opportunity/Investment/HYIP/MLM community/whatever whereinwhich many respected members are getting all frothy at the mouth for it.

Here's the latest update:

"Dear Pixmeup Team

To facilitate the tremendous demand for people who want to buy ads in Pixmeup.com we are going to extend the time for sign ups from 2pm today PST to 9 PM PST TONIGHT. At 9PM PST tonight we will not take any new registrations until further notice.

For those of you who have pre-registered you will have until 9PM PST Thursday evening to go in to your member's area and click on "buy pixels" and complete those transactions. After 9PM PST on Thursday we will stop all activity and begin the process of filling the matrix and preparing the first pay run which will be on Monday.

On Monday you will be able to go into your back office, view your genealogy and your commissions. There will be instructions provided in your back office that tell you how to access your SafePay account and have money sent you.

We feel the need to apologize for having to extend this, but we rather apologize for extending than having to tell thousands of people that they got left out. These are all people who are in all of your down lines and we wanted to make sure that we gave everybody every opportunity to be involved during this once in a lifetime Pixmeup pre-launch.

Please stay tuned to the "news" section of the website and the conference calls for very important updates over these next few days.

Thank you all for your amazing work in making Pixmeup the fastest growing Network Marketing company on the planet and the largest Pixel Page on the internet.

We are working around the clock to make sure we have everything in order to make this the most successful launch in MLM history.

The best to each and everyone you.
The Pixmeup Team."

Yes, well, if you want to give it a shot get in quick and get in at the top. Depends on whether it's your bag or not! But you've now got a slightly larger window to step in through.

PixMeUp

Private Opps And A New Club

Self-explanatory really.

"Dear Participant,

I am very excited to announce the launch of the much-anticipated Sports Arbitrage Contract - ARB.I!

Coming to PrivateOpps by a group of highly successful Sports Arbitrage professionals, ARB.I offers Participants daily returns of between 1.3% and 2.0%. The club has been operating privately for the past 2 years with an excellent track record - they average a staggering 1.6% per day for their investors!

Thanks to the enormous success of PrivateOpps, the club has now agreed to open up their member base to Participants through our proprietary online system. At the same time, PrivateOpps management has full access to all transaction records and intends to perform weekly audits as we do with all private clubs.

The first interest payment for this Contract will be made on Wednesday, January 25. The current minimum Holding Period is set to 50 Calendar days. Of course, those interested can always continue to hold all or some of their Units even after the Holding Period expires, and continue to accrue the daily interest until they are ready to sell their Units.

To read more about ARB.I (its risk policy, Sports Arbitrage in general, etc.), please visit our website (click on the ARB.I symbol at the How It Works page).

Happy investing!

Robert Vaughn
Operations Manager
PrivateOpps.com"

So, Private Opps are still going strong with no complaints, instant withdrawals and they are expanding. Having said that they have no transparency either, so they're staying in Medium Risk HYIPs... HYIP being the key word! That stands for "High Yield Investment Programs" by the way, but in Internet world and in my world (the most important world of all) I am meaning HYIP as "possible ponzi" etc. whereas the others are listed as 'real investment opportunities.'

But who knows, they could actually be doing what they say they are. Time will tell! Till then, I await the nearby maturity of some of my units.

PixMeUp Pixs Up

Latest update from PixMeUp. Read and be amazed.

"Hello PixMeUp Team,

What an Incredible day!!!! When we opened up the flood gates at 2pm pacific time today over 10,000 people tried to buy an ad all at the same time. To give you an idea of what that means... We have super sized beefed up servers and access to unlimited band width, we just pay for what we use. When we get to the point where we do 1000 - 5000 new sign ups a day we will have no problems ever, in fact we'll run just as fast if only 10 people signed up in a day. But when 10,000 - 12,000 people try to buy ads all at the exact same moment... I think you get the point. When my programmers were there saying I can't believe this is happening, I put my hands in the air, I was so proud. WE LOCKED UP A RACKSPACE DEDICATED SUPER COMPUTER! They said it couldn't be done and we did it.

So everyone understands our hosting plan for PixMeUp, we've gone from $120 a year hosting to $600 a month hosting to $1500 a month hosting all in under 60 days and it will probably go up again very soon because of band width. Our hosting for the new Back End Members Area is $10,000 monthly. We are only getting the best for all of you!!!

At the same time I must admit I was a little worried, but they (Our Programmers) told me it was going to be fine we just needed to slow the buying frenzy. There is a difference between traffic to the site and transactions on the site. So we decided to make the purchase date and time dated for when you signed up for your rep site so there wouldn't be such a mad rush.

Everything now seems to be running smooth and about 2000 people bought ads today but we know there are still another 8000 - 12,000 people trying to get their ads in by the cut off of Tuesday Jan. 24 at 2pm pacific time. We have plenty of time.

There were also a few bugs that have been fixed, some people don't relize it but you can pick which page your ad goes on. There is a drop down box when your on the page to pick your pixels. Click which page you want and it will take you there.

We weren't able to have the automation in place by the time we opened up at 2pm so ads aren't showing. Customer Service was working (On Sunday) but we didn't want to try to go into the system because it was already bogged down with everyone trying to buy. Ads will be getting activated in the morning and the automation will be in place soon.

To touch on Customer Service...They have been working literally around the clock for all of you and have cleaned up a big mess that got created by all of you being to good at what you do before we could get all of our systems in place. We've had to design technology on the fly that doesn't exist, that's why we aren't scared of compition. They have no clue what they are getting themselves into. lolol But our Customer Service has been busting it for you and have done an unbelievable job.
DON'T send emails thanking them yet, wait until everything slows down, then show them a ton of love, they all deserve it.

We'll have the regular call schedule tomorrow and all this week. You can see it in the news section if you are one of the almost 2000 new people to sign up today. (Different from the 2000 ads that were bought.)

Let's make it a great day tomorrow and we'll see you on the calls.

Thanks
The PixMeUp Team"

PixMeUp - Check out this awesome opportunity

Well, here’s another online phenomenon that is sweeping the Internets. (sic).

Pixel Ads – they’re all the rage. Read how they first started here… And how the guy who first created the bandwagon for us all to jump on is now a millionaire.

PixMeUp is a similar opportunity but is designed for us all, the average people, to get a piece of the pie. You can buy a Pixel (ad space) for $25, and buy as many as you like.

It’s kind of like MLM but based on a forced matrix… you don’t need to refer people to fill up your matrix and the way this site is SKYROCKETING it WILL fill.

I was hesitant at first to join up at PixMeUp but it is being pushed by some of the biggest and most trusted members of the online opportunity/HYIP community and its traffic and users are skyrocketing almost straight upwards.

So I decided to take a $100 plunge and jump in, though remember you only need $25. You use your pixel ad to advertise your website. (Something for admins and the likes to consider too – a cool new way to direct traffic, and also all you non-admins out there can advertise your referral pages and the like!)

To explain the inner workings in a bit more detail, here’s some excerpts from the website:

“When you join PixMeUp and buy an ad for $25(USD) you will receive two income generating Business Centers in our 3×8 Matrix. You receive a Gold Business Center and a Silver Business Center.

You can buy as many $25 blocks of ad space that you want and you will receive a Gold and Silver Business Center for each.

Your Gold Business Center is placed [top to bottom - left to right] from the top of the structure down starting with the company in the order that people join. It doesn’t matter who refers them or what country they are from, they just keep filling in. Every time a Business Center falls on your 3rd through 8th levels you will get paid.

Everyone’s Silver Business Center is placed under your sponsors Silver Business Center. Every time sales take place on your 3rd through 8th levels you’re making money.

Filling an entire matrix would make you $9,564.75. Once you have filled an entire Matrix you will be given a new Business Center. Remember you get TWO Business Centers for every $25 ad block, so it’s possible to make $19,129.50 for every $25 spent on advertising.”

It’s like MLM but you DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING if you wanna be passive. It’s a good way to direct traffic to your website as well. And most importantly, it’s catching on like wildfire… AND the product that this MLM is selling is actually valid and worthwhile and all the rage (pixel ads) whereas most MLM’s sell vague useless products.

PixMeUp – check it out! Get in earlier and earn quicker and more before all the pixels are gone!

Yeah, a lot of hyperbole there but it IS all the rage after all! 

Basically – spend (minimum $25), get an ‘earning center’, get traffic, get money, be part of a craze.

12 Daily Pro And Two Daily Updates

Because I’m lazy, here once again are some nice copy and pastes of the latest two articles from the horses mouth of 12 Daily Pro -

“2005 Earnings Statements will be available for members to download from within their member areas by Tuesday, January 22. The statements will be in a PDF format and you will be able to print them. These statements will detail all surf and commission earnings by month and a totals for the year. They will NOT list upgrade purchases or amounts, only monies earned.

Reminder… It is the members’ responsibility to report and pay any and all tax requirements in your national, state or local jurisdiction. If you are unsure of what these are, we recommend that members discuss any tax-related questions with a tax professional in member’s jurisdiction.”

“Following are a few updates on some important site happenings and issues. Please take the time to read through them.

:: Payment Processor Transition
We thank you all for your patience as we settle into our new payment processor. Things are progressing well and the management team at EMO Corporation has been very helpful in helping to insure a smooth transition for us and for our members.

:: Suspended Refunds
Last week we discovered a few discrepancies in our suspended member refund process. It seems there were a few members suspended in December’s system audit that did not receive a refund nor an email explaining why they didn’t qualify for one. 12dp staff worked hard this past week to identity those members and any outstanding refunds will be paid this week.

:: Missing Upgrades from Jan 5 & 6
As you may recall, the site experienced a couple of days of downtime on January 5-6 due to server and software upgrades. There were a number of missing upgrades from these days. We have finally completing a process that is identifying all of these missing upgrades. The missing upgrades will be added to members accounts and will be active as of Monday, January 23. Those members who’s missing upgrades were purchased with E-Gold, your upgrades will appear in your account as such, however, you will need to select one of our existing payment processors for payout once your upgrade expires.

:: E-Gold Transition Payments
E-Gold transition payment are proceeding according to schedule. Those members who chose the StormPay option are now being paid on schedule with other StormPay withdrawals. Those members who chose the money order option, the first money orders were mailed out on last Monday and are proceeding according to schedule. Those members who chose the EMO option, EMO payments have been proceeding more slowly. This is because prior to everyone choosing their payment option, we had no way of knowing exactly which percentage of members would choose which option and thus no way of knowing the amount of funds needed to be transferred or put into place for each processor to cover all payments. So, as we now have a clearer picture of that data and are moving funds appropriately, you will notice the speed of these EMO payments increasing. All payments will be made as stated, on or before January 31.

:: Site & Server Upgrades
In the midst of all the recent payment processor drama, 12dp’s technical staff was hard at work on several key hardware and software upgrades and changes that can be seen in new member functionality and even more importantly have significantly improved the operation of the site. Among the changes are a new member details area, added account security, server upgrades, database enhancements, and a number of crucial tweaks to our software that will help eliminate past recurring problems such as missing upgrades, processed but not received payments, payments not going to pending, etc. A big thanks to our programmers for all their hard work in these areas.

:: Forum
We have some great news regarding our forum. In about 2 weeks, the 12dp forum will become integrated with the 12dp website. This means that all active 12dp members will have access to the forum from within their member area. Guests/Non-Members will still be able to view certain areas of the forum but will be unable to post. We will post more information soon on this forum transition.

:: Ticket System / Live Support
The 12dp support staff has been hard at work these week clearing out a couple of the backlogged ticket departments. We are also restructuring our support team procedures and processes which, in addition to the new ticket and live support system we will be moving to in a couple of weeks, will get 12dp back to the kind of quality member support we deem as key to our program.

:: New Site
LifeClicks is excited to announce that we are hard at work in the planning stages of the third site in our network. We have reached a point in the planning where we feel it crucial to get feedback from members that will allow us to fine-tune the program and make it the best possible program it can be. To that end, we will be posting a number of polls on the forum as well as sending out some targeted group emails to elicit feedback and interest on various aspects of the new program. You will note these polls and emails will speak only in general terms about the new site. No hints.  The official announcement of the new site will be made Sunday, February 26 at the GPT Convention.

Have a great week and as always, Thanks for going Pro!”

I see three key points - They’re helping us with tax. Cool and a sign of legitimacy or at least some semblance of it I suppose. Good on them. They’re operating like a real business… Shock! Horror!

EMO will speed up. (Which should calm the brow of many out there.)

AND… A new site is coming, the third site in the network. What shall it be? We’ll find out soon enough.

Well, 12DailyPro is going strong… Stormpay expiries are being paid in about 4 business days and EMO is picking up the pace. (Slowly.)

NetIBA Certification

Well, today I got my NetIBA snail mail which allowed me to complete the last part of my verification process.

Let me just say that if you are using the likes of 12DP and Alientrust or other programs that use Stormpay, or even if you plan to use good amounts of money (i.e. above $10 here or there) in Stormpay, NetIBA certification is the way to go.

You save a LOT of money from fees (though 2.9% or whatever it is after certification is still comparatively high in some comparisons, it's a BIG improvement on 6.9%.)

Also, you get a LOT more Stormclix so you can quickly, freely without the investment of money, earn back the $20 or so for certification.

Get certified now if any of the above conditions apply to you! The longer you wait, the longer it takes before you get your snail mailed pin code, etc. :)

NetIBA.

Alientrust Continues To Kick Ass

Some more well-written juicy updates from the land of Alientrust. They definitely appear to be solidifying and digging in for the long haul - or at least they are telling us they are! Here too is an explanation to the lessor amount of sites temporarily needed to surf, in line with my prediction that they were lightening loads on the servers for a short while.

Enjoy, and if you’re not a member of Alientrust yet, remember how much 12DP has kicked ass and how Alientrust is following in those footsteps if not surpassing them and being even more professional.

“Hey Everyone,

Sorry things have been so hectic these past couple of days, Brian was on vacation, and I had some pressing family issues to deal with, but we’re now back to it.

Let me give you all the latest updates.

We had switched over the program parameters so lighten the load on the server so many people were able to surf only one site to earn for several days, plus we lowered the max site and the timer. The server load is now back to normal and so are the program settings, 15 sites - 15 seconds and 40 daily max surf.

As for the servers - the deal with RackSpace is complete! We willl be moving the company over to RackSpace within the next week. Fo those of you who aren’t familiar with RackSpace, they are hands down the best Dedicated Hosting provider in the world and have had a steller record since they began business about 5 years ago.

They have had 100% uptime on their network for the past 48 months straight! Now that’s a guarantee! Incredible company and we’re very proud to be part of the RackSpace family.

Our new package includes a Cisco firewall, Cisco Load Balancer, 3(ea) 3.2Ghz Dual Xeon Dell web servers, and a Dual Xeon Dell database server. Plus the Linux Red Label Service Package which gives us a complete team of engineers at RackSpace to help us manage our business.

Folks this new server package will cost us over 90,000.00 a year and we WILL have the finest infrastructure of anyone in the industry. The package also includes PrevenTier DDOS Protection and Cisco IDS Intrusion Detection System to help protect your accounts from mailicious activity!

Guys we’re sparing no expense to ensure the long term success of AT and we look forward to serving you for years to come.

Once again, if you have any issues please ensure you’re using the Support Button in the Control Panel to contact us as the phone system will be down until we get moved into the office in February. DO NOT fax in support requests as they will go un-answered.

We’re still looking for a programmer willing to relocate, if anyone knows anyone interested in this position please have them remit their resume via fax or email, we need to fill this quickly and I’d rather NOT have to hire a headhunter, but if we don’t get someone within the next week, we’ll be forced to go that route.

Hopefully everyone is having a great weekend and we look forward to a great week this week.

Once the new servers come online this week, we’ll let everyone know what the downtime schedule will be for the move to RackSpace.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to speaking with you again soon.

MPDW Update

Yeah yeah another winning week at MPDW.

3.35%. They keep on keeping on, with a little bit of controversy brewing over in their private forums and the HYIPDiscussion boards if you care to take a look. I'd go with NS-FG over these guys at the moment... but they still look very good.

Down So Long

Well I've been away for a few days so now I suppose it's time to catch up and let you know that I'm still here. Not too much has happened, but here's what comes to mind.

First, the bad - My-Odds and FastMarket both look like complete goners as of now so I'm nicking them off the sidebar... They WERE under high risk though so hopefully anyone who followed my lead invested accordingly and treated it as high risk. Remember, don't risk too much and get your principal out.

Alientrust

Alientrust are still kicking ass and taking names and picking up speed. Their juicy latest update is an open call for a new employee which is another sign of legitimacy or at least their attempt to dig in for the long term.

GMI VC Shares

Well, the shares in this now are starting to move up in price (I mean the sales actually for sale, not the SET GM price) so get in now and buy the last of the cheapies. Details about dividends and the like will be posted early February.

Well, keep it real y'all, hope all is going well.

Alientrust Keeps Us Updated

Well, some more positive updates from Alientrust come our way...

"Good Afternoon Everyone,

I wanted to let everyone know that the new support system is now partially operational. I say partially because there are a few things that don't work just right yet. The email parser is still not interacting correctly with qmail, so we can't yet respond to, or initaite tickets from the desktop, but we're sure that we can find the error and get it corrected. (anyone with any qmail experience might drop us a line)

We're in the process of renegotiating our office. We had rented a very small office right down the street from both Brian and I, but when we started rennovating, we discovered it had bad wiring and termites..... so.......

We're negotiating for a beautiful 1300 sq. ft suite and one of our major financial buildings here right in the heart of WF. It's a gorgeous space with plenty of room and the ability to grow a little.

And since I have you here I might as well give you the new rundown on how the NSM structure functions so you'll have a better idea of exactly how we work, and why this concept will be successful.

Technically NSM IS a company, but the way we function is much more of a co-operative. All of us, from myself to Brian and everyone else are all independent contractors and come together to help strengthen not only our opporunities, but the industry as well. As such, there is no stringent accountability structure, we all know what needs to get done, and we all do our part.

But I thought I might list all of our current business partners so you will have an idea of who you'll be dealing with as the merger takes full effect. We all taken new titles, and the functions of our duties have changed quite a bit.

Vince Kronlein - Executive Director
Brian Sams - Managing Director
Melissa Miller - Deputy Managing Director
Stephanie Kronlein - Finance Director
Jennifer Sams - Deputy Finance Director

Then we have either 1 or 2 more spots to fill, but we'll find the right folks for that as we move forward.

The telephone system remains a pain in the *** and needs a complete overhaul. We still haven't changed the message and I'll try to get that taken care of here shortly, but keep in mind folks right now that is only a message system and doesn't get checked very often so please use the support system till we post the new telephone numbers.

Both Brian and I will be doing Support Tickets until the rest of the staff comes on full time, they all have some time left at the old jobs, but the entire team will be on-sight on Feb 1st for sure.

I'll post some pics later of the new office and we'll release the address once we're certain that's where we'll be.

The support button in the Control Panel is now hot, so if you sent any email requests over the past few days, you'll need to re-post those as a support ticket in the new system so they can be tracked properly.

The FAQ will be built via answers to support tickets using the knowledgebase system in Kayako so that will come along as we go.

It's all flling into place - I love it when a plan comes together :)

Talk to you soon.....

V"

Good stuff, right? You not in yet! Why not? :P

100 POSTS OLD!

Yes venerable old Northern Calm here has made it to the 100th post. Hope you've enjoyed it so far.

Oh... HYIPS, online opportunities, make money online, etc.!

(My Google Adsense has been showing PSAs, as my last post was just about "Blog Of The Week.")

Oh, by the way, if you want a site or something and want easy advertising, most newbies (and advanced web 0wnerz out there) love Adsense so I've added an Adsense button down under tools. Click it, sign up, love it.

So what can you expect in the next 100 posts? Well I'm going to take the time to write some nice, juicy indepth articles on some sagas in the HYIP world, and archive them for easy reference in the sidebar. And besides that, well, who knows? Pretty much business as usual though.

And, to wit, a little news -

Looks like FastMarket and My-Odds are goners. I've removed their links but left their titles their in the sidebar for the moment. There is a chance in hell, though not a very visible chance, that they may return. (For example, My-Odds has gone through this sort of problem before.) But, they were in high-risk for a reason!

Added some more raters down in the sidebar - vote for me! Help the site out!

Everything else is running smoothly.

PrivateOpps has a little news - they now charge 1.5% admin fee for withdrawals, and referral commissions have dropped to 9%, as was stated they would as of January 16th.

Well... here's to another 100 posts, and beyond...

Current picks? All the good stuff as of now is in the sidebar! More to come.

Good luck to y'all, and may prosperity be with you. *peace*

Blog Of The Week Round IX

Yes it's the ninth Blog Of The Week.

This week's blog is Neverending, run by Chrisstoff from over at HYIPDiscussion.

It's a very focussed blog, mainly dealing with the Neverending Stori. (Seriously guys, sign up. This thing is about to catch on fire, and if you've been following the crowd and got some cream saved up because of high earning programs like Alientrust, it's worth the spend!)

Anyway, check it out - Neverending.

Market Professionals Deliver Update

3.60% return for the week, and a write up about taking on board member's suggestions and some changes to Elite Memberships. (There will no longer be an Elite Chat Room, though you can still request one on one meetings.)

All good stuff, keep it up MPDW!

There's been a little discussion about their legitimacy as of late, but I still dig them. All issues brought up in the forums are usually dispelled or explained quickly, with most of the complaints rising from a (admittedly seemingly respectable) member whose account was deleted... but all his money was from referral commissions, he had not invested himself. It got a little deeper than that, so check it out on HYIPDiscussion if you must.

12 Daily Pro

Another mini update as 12 Daily Pro fixes the EMO Upgrade limit problem. Long live the king right?

Mini Update

All is good in the world at the moment, check out all the programs in the sidebar if you're bored, and spread the word of Northern Calm to your friends and family!

12DailyPro is having problems accepting EMO upgrades over $1000... they say they're working on it so I'm sure we'll see an update on that very soon considering their excellent track record so far.

Also, just got a nice GoldenRocks payment, a day earlier than I expected. These guys really are the quiet acheiver, and yes, we're meant to be shh! on them, at least to an extent. So that's all I'll say.

Later y'all. No news is good news.

A Bit Of Clarification For Nestors Out There

Well, I thought I would provide a small explanation about the Neverending Stori from what I have been told by those who should know.

You do not NEED two referrals. There seems to be a misconception about this.

However, you will not earn as fast or as much. Worst case scenario your account will max out at 1% a day ($1 a day.) So you'll still earn money, and it's a good venture. Use that profit for two accounts under you and watch your account kick ass. (Little strategy there for you folks.)

I could write a lot more about the subject, but I won't, I just thought I would clear that little discrepancy up! I know some people have been hesitating, worrying they will need two referrals for sure and afraid they couldn't get them.

This is chancer signing out and that was my 95th post! Hope you're all digging the blog and hope I'm updating it enough. :)

Updates - January 14th

Well there's gonna be a lot of copying and pasting going on here today boys and girls, as there's a lot of big updates that pretty much explain themselves and don't need my drily witty commentary. Okay it is neither dry nor witty but at least I try!

Neverending Stori

"GOOD News for everyone with NES accounts.

NES has a new payment system.

NES now accept e-gold; 1MDC; pecunix and Goldmoney.

If you have been holding out for e-gold, now you can pay your $100 utilizing the new payment system.

There are many creative ways to use NES.

One way would be as a standby in case pensions dissappear."

Budda bing budda boom. This is good stuff and should see the Nes system really start to take off, good news for all of us Nestors! (Nes Investors. Witty right?)

My-Odds

Well, we've gotten an email update from Alexi (the admin/arbitrage trader.) It could be legit, who knows? Wait and see.

"Hello,

System has been fixed, but it is not good enough for current situation.
I just cant execute it now, because there 'll be overpayments, like some
people , which already got it in past.

In fact this bug is only when more than 200-300 payments made in 1hour.

What i am doing now. I am completely rewriting scripts to extend
maximal productivity. This 'll take about 24-36 hours more.

About notification emails: there was the test to check payment script,
and test has shown that people 'll receive overpayments, if i 'll enable
payouts.

People, please trust me, its real situation and I HAVE TO CONTINUE MY
WORK, while making new payment scripts. And its not so easy.

I just cant answer on 1000 email hourly, its why i wrote this email and
sent to every member.

Thank You,
Alexi."

Alientrust

These guys are STILL kicking ass and taking names and there was another juicy update just yesterday about their mission statement, and a touching, well-written little story by the admin about the admin.

Oh, and here's a new little tidbit:

"Hey Everyone,

We just purchased a whole new support system so please hold all your requests for the next few days.

We'll get it up and running ASAP and your requests will be much more organized and expediently handled.

If you need assistance in the mean time please post it here and the community will more than likely be able to handle it.

If you have some knowledge on the system and program folks please jump in and help on these requests while we get the system up and running.

Thanks.

V"

Sign up and read the site if you want to know more! :P

NS-FG

Have emailed their statements for the month. Pooled accounts have gone back to being email based, and their website is now going to be used for their managed accounts (which have a minimum entry fee of $25,000 as of now I believe.)

Anyway, that's the major stuff of the day, everything is cruising along.

Ciao, y'all.

The Return Of My-Odds!

Well miraculously my My-Odds payment just turned up out of nowhere, back from the infinite grasps of space.

I'm going to leave it in high-risk, and make a smaller spend and build it up. Who knows, it was probably just a glitch!

GMI Update... Again!

Well there's more rumblings on the Global Mutual front...

"Good Morning, Good Evening, and Good Heavens!

Its a new year already.

Good News!

GMI are about to introduce a new innovation for members.

LISTEN CAREFULLY!

TAKE NOTICE!

GET THIS INTO YOUR GREY MATTER BRAIN CELLS

We really appreciate your patience over the last few years while we tweaqued, oiled and squeeked our script into what it has become today.

A total nightmare hehe

To reward our members for their extreme patience,

We are introducing A new account system for members holding accounts.

When the revised script is in place,

members will earn 12%/an on the holding account.
attached to the holding account shall be a DEBIT card.

I looked high and low for this system and kept having to knock back offers because of the fees associated with the cards. They were too high.

I think our new system will mean that the GMI Holding account will be a better place to keep money than in a normal savings account.

It will be connected direct to e-gold and other e-currencies.

You will be able to bank wire.

If you will please excuse the expression, but in the words of "Everybody loves Raymond"'s Father, IT CUTS THE CRAP!.

This should all be in place within a fortnight.

SECONDLY!

The three programs GMI-exchange, GMI-FX, and GMI VCShares, will be integrated into one system. I bet some of you saw that coming.

I hope to see this completed by the end of the first quarter.

This will mean that one referal code will receive comms for all introduced programs.

It also means that this integrated version will be put together seperately while we continue as is.

THIRDLY
GMI will introduce an investors club. (More on it later)

PERSONAL

My illness has settled down heaps, but I continue as is albeit with a thorn in my side Winston Churchill called "The Black Dog".

Its good to see people offering to help.

NOW IS THE TIME! I would like people willing to help in some way to email me at admin@global-mutual.com with their details and their offer. ASAP please. (even if you already have.)

GMI Shopping is being given a face lift as we speak and in a limited fashion is being rolled out.

We are now poised to accellerate our position in the market.

If you have ideas on how we can develop our industry, let me know.

If you are a legal buff and know a thing or two about offshore, and branching on shore, speak to me.

Many thanks for the amazing difference that TJ, Kymmer, IVAN and Coders have made to our team.

Ivan is in hospital again since the 29 DEC. It cant be good. So pray for him.

Thankyou to KEVIN (Indianna) and Michael and Chris who also helped to get us out of a bad rut, and get us back on track.

AUSSIE MUTUAL receives word about its originator's application to a company, probably next week. I am also looking at leads generation in Australia for the new online Loans system.

TO GURUS.

My hope is to attract 1 million members before the end of the year, hence the script re-build.

All ideas and help appreciated.

If you think investment Venture capital companies should be able to satnd alone without new investors, I got news for you. "Cut the Crap"

If I have 1 investor only, do you think I can live of the fees, and my cut.?

Thats why referals in any industry is the future, and its why sales receive such good comms.

Have a nice day, and lets all work towards a better tomorrow too.

Gordon

GMI International Administrator"

Straight from the horses mouth. Interesting stuff as usual. It'll be interesting to see how all the systems are combined.

So remember - Global Mutual and GMI VCShares and even Neverendingstori are, in my estimation, here to stay!

My-Odds Problem

Well, my latest My-Odds payment has been pending for more than 12 Hours, so I'm putting these guys on watch for now and it is quite possible they are goners already.

An interesting experiment but obviously a little more risky than I thought! They were an oddity with a seemingly legit track-record so I was hoping to reap returns from them for a while yet.

Who knows, it could just be a glitch. We shall see.

Alientrust Continues To Be The Next 12 Daily Pro

Seriously, here's their monster update:

"Good Evening.

As AT marches on we are committed to becoming the number 1 surf site on the net. As such we'll become the true industry leader with revolutionary new ideas and software to help grow your business, and earning potential.

As part of this philosophy and the tremendous success we're having, we're making a major change.

Starting immediately you will now be able to purchase up to 2000 Shares of the Alien Trust, doubling your earning potential. Never in the history of the industry has there been a company so willing to raise the bar and make the commitment to excellence as NSM.

We appreciate all your hard work and we'll see you all very soon when we announce our schedule for the Epiphany Summer Conference live in Las Vegas, NV.

But for right now, take advantage of this incredible earning opportunity and go for it!

We'll have several huge announcements in the coming weeks and we look forward to working with you."

Conventions? Increasing account levels (shares)? Someone's been learning from the big guns!

Here's to Alientrust continuing to follow in the footsteps of the greats and forging their own path!

Here's Another "Something Different"

Well here's another "something different."

Something different of course being my loose definition of a program that is more 'real' or is undergirded by some unique or interesting concept.

These are of course seen as 'real' opportunities though I of course could be being gypped by some scurrilous scammer but I don't think so. Or at least hope not!

Last time it was Peraads... If you're not in, check it out. If you're in and not upgraded, why not? You're missing out!

And today it's... I suppose I could call it an automated affiliate and revenue sharing system?

Imagine if you could get all the commissions from a sale in your zip code (as a resident) or just randomly choose a zip code (as a prospector.)

Well that's what Got-Zip is. Go check it out.

Basically, you stake out a territory claim... be it state, zip, or whatever... (with more countries than the US planned in the future) and then receive any commissions from sales made in that territory. That's it!

BUT whilst the site grows you want to earn your revenue back right? Well, Dan Nickerson, our friendly neighbourhood CEO is sharing the advertising and the like revenue with us. Each month it has been increasing as the site grows.

That's basically all it is, simply! It could be the next Google or Internet Giant and it's a land rush so get in now.

Land rushes are all about getting in early... imagine what would happen if this site does exponentially grow like it is poised to. We'll all be rich!

If not, its a minimal spend for 'something different.'

Ciao y'all!

P.S. They accept E-Gold too!

GoldenRocks Forum Hacked!

The GoldenRocks forum was hacked today.

And now they're back safe and sound with an update about it.

As Inspector Gadget was wont to say... "Go Go Goldenrocks!"

Soft Soft-Core Porn In The Land Of HYIPs

Seriously...

E-Hyip.

Click on promo on that page and be presented with images of mildly-attractive women with what I would think are Icelandic/Russian features draped in American flags holding wads of cash.

No other info on the page besides the promo and "Invest."

Obviously different to EHyip.us. Somehow. There's a hyphen.

I just thought I would bring you all this oddity. Comment on it. Be confused.

P.S. DON'T invest in either of these, they're scams. At least I know the second one is for sure, and considering the absolute lack of info on the first one besides scantily clad women with money, I would say it is too.

Ciao, y'all. Spread the word of Northern Calm!

Neverending Stori Offer Update

Although the offer of a cashback is closed to anyone else who sign up under me with Nestori, at least for now, I just thought I would mention that any unpaid referrals I have (as of now) who convert to paid, can contact me via the link on the side of the page and I will reimburse your E-Gold account $30.

This is picking up steam though, so even without the cashback offer, get $100 into Pecunix and sign up boys and girls! Sorry to flog this program so hard... but I just want to share the love nice and early (due to the mild MLM elements that aren't neccesary but can speed up your earnings.)

Big Day January 9th/NES SPECIAL OFFER OVER

Well I've been awaiting this day for a while now, as I thought there would be some nice juicy updates today.

First up, Paid Exposure (long story) were set to have new updates... only to reveal they're just gonna reimbure non-profit members a percentage of their account. What a bloody let down after months of waiting to 'transfer accounts.'

Next up was Feeder Fund (this shall be the last update I give on them unless something goes wrong due to their newly private nature) just to say that interest has been received for the month and these guys are still going strong.

Then there's the private and new incarnation of Reality Millions (Divinus Opulentia.) Still awaiting their latest update which should have a nice juicy new investment vehicle for me sometime today. (If you're unaware of who these guys are/were, I might tell the story someday!)

There was some other stuff too but I can't remember it! So Big Day January 9 has been a bit of a fizzer so far. If anyone else is having a Big Day January 9 with more explosive news, leave a comment and tell us all about it!

Oh, and my special offer for the Neverending Stori is over. Sorry guys and gals who missed out! Maybe I'll run another one in the future!

Here's a recent update from the admin to keep your interest piqued:

"Hello everyone,

Well its about to happen,

A few people have already broken even!

That means their DAILY INTEREST
is greater than DAILY SUBSCRIPTION

Maybe its you! check your account and select \"Account status\"

AND thats not all!

There is more!

SOME FORTUNATE INDIVIDUALS ARE ABOUT TO GO:

\"IN THE MONEY\"

Yes ladies and gentlemen and fellow stori writers, its only 1-2 days away before somebody will post: \"IN THE MONEY\"

A last adjust ment was made today to correct an incorrect correction made last month.

All holding balances are now UNDER $100 as they should have been.... but for some of us,... NOT BY MUCH!!

Keep your eyes glued to the forum and make yourself aquainted with it.

So who is it gunna be?

Whose gunna post \"IN THE MONEY\" first up?

Maybe its you.

Time to roll out the competician folks.

THAT TIME IS VERY SOON!!

SO, get in now, and get ready, because the BIG COMP Is immanent, its almost upon us.

More news real soon.

ED
Nestori"

Ciao y'all.

Udachu

Update update update! All the time with the updating...

Well, for those of you who didn't realise, the Udachu Fund website is down.

However, it is down on purpose, this is the first part of their plan of going more private.

You can still find out the latest goings on over at the Udachu Fund Forum.

It is still possible to deposit, sign up and the like you just have to do it via email and more well, 'privately' now.

We should all be getting emailed statements from them soon (those who are members of course.)

Blog Of The Week (Again)

Well, time for another blog of the week, this time it is "Investing In Hyip - No Guts No Glory."

The blogmasterino over there focuses on many of the same topics covered here (e.g. 12DailyPro!) so they must be good. :-) And therefore one would assume their choices and advice would be good as well.

Kilaxi mainly reflects on investment choices and the like and keeps us all updated.

Plus, he has some native american indian doll puppet as his avatar, which is cool. *thumbs up.*

Check it out.

Investing In Hyip - No Guts No Glory.

12 Daily Pro Transition

Just to let you all know that you can now access the E-Gold transition area within 12DailyPro and choose your new withdrawal option. Here's to hoping it all goes smoothly. *thumbs up*

12 Daily Pro E-Gold Situation Update

For those wishing to change their pending E-Gold withdrawals, it looks like life just got a whole lot easier!

From the site:

"We understand that the transtion from E-Gold to another payment processor will be a challenge for a few. We want to do all we can to make that transition easier and faster for those of you that have pending E-Gold withdrawals or active E-Gold upgrades.

Instead of the ticket system submission form we had first announced, our programmers have been instead working feverishly this weekend to complete a feature that will allow affected members to make these changes from within their own member area. This will speed the process for both and members and staff and help you receive your withdrawal payments quicker.

We expect this function to be available late in the afternoon on Monday, January 9. We will keep you up to date if there are any delays.

We hope to do all we can to help all affected members have as smooth a transition as possible.

Charis"

Awesome, I like that idea much more than the ticket idea.

Till next time, ciao y'all.

MPDW Update

3.30% for the week for MPDW. Yay.

Their email/weekly newsletter also addresses the current 'flame war' going on in relation to them out there at the moment. They plan to become more private and invite people to their private chat room and forum to discuss such matters.

Anyway, another "winning week."

Updates - 8th January 2006

Well a big bunch of updates today, many pertaining to the current conversation/"constructive criticism" circulating on the web about E-Gold.

First up, we'll stick with news on the big gun...

12 Daily Pro

Well there's a lot of 12 Daily Pro info for you to wrap your heads around so I'll just paste the news items here and get straight to the point:

It started with the 6th being a surfing holiday, followed up with an update about EMO being their new payment processor. I'll keep that update out of here, you can read it over on the site. BTW, Emo has now of course been added to my blogroll of payment processors. They have a pretty stringent verification system, so I'm probably going to be converting to Stormpay with 12DP.

Then came the E-Gold announcement (sans news article that is usually attached to the bottom of this update - it's an easy to find article that just tries to slander E-Gold):

"E-Gold Investigation / 12dp Decision - by Charis - 12DP Admin at 2006-01-06 23:09:03

Recently we announced that due to mounting issues with one of our payment processors, E-Gold, we would be extending our payment period for that processor from 7 business days to 10 business days. This decision was made due to a number of disturbing factors including:

1. The extreme increase in hacked E-Gold accounts and the amount of time staff has to dedicate to correcting member accounts and payouts due to this issue.

2. The continual downtime the site experienced during the month of December, severely affecting the functioning and slowing our ability to make and receive payments.

3. The lack of communication and member support from the staff of E-Gold during downtime

4. The large amount of E-Gold funds we had lost to cheaters using this payment method to conduct fraudulent activities and remain untouched.

It was because of these reasons and many others that we encouraged members to seek Stormpay as a better alternative, particularly given their new lowered rate option. One thing we did not count on when we made the recommendation was the huge response from our members evidenced by a large migration to Stormpay. Because we don’t keep a large amount of reserves in E-Gold for security purposes and so that the money can be utilized for various investments, when this happened, it created a decline in our E-Gold reserves and a huge increase in our StormPay reserves.

Extending the payment terms for E-Gold to 10 business days was designed to allow us the time to move necessary funds to E-Gold through an exchange as needed to help balance the reserves. We were in the process of planning for such transfers earlier this week when we became aware of some very disturbing news regarding E-Gold, that made us stop in our tracks.

In the most recent issue of Business Week magazine, one of the most highly respected business journals in the US, a detailed expose was published about E-Gold and its founder, Douglas L. Jackson. The article entitled, “Gold Rush”, stated that E-Gold has become the currency of choice for ‘cyber crooks’. The article, which is reprinted in its entirety below this message, also stated that the E-Gold offices and the home of its founder were raided on Dec. 19 (the same time frame which the E-Gold site was down with no explanation.). No charges have been filed to date, but there are also over a dozen FBI probes into online criminal rings involving terrorism, child porn, etc. all with one thing in common, E-Gold.

We are not presuming any guilt on their part and would never do so. However, we are very disturbed the the criminal element that is using E-Gold and are very concerned that future government action or sanctions against the company might lead to freezes of all accounts, including ours and those of our members. We also have prided ourselves on building and maintaining a business built on moral values, ethics, and a professional reputation. We will not but our members funds at risk and we will not continue to associate with a payment processor that is clearly at risk for legal sanctions.

We have been weighing all week, our options on how to handle this situation. We have been very wary of moving any more funds into E-Gold because of this situation. This is why you have noticed E-Gold payments slowing this week. We finally arrived at a very difficult, but necessary decision today. We apologize for the short notice, but given the additional due diligence we conducted after learning of the raid and the expose, we believe that immediate action was necessary for the protection of our funds and of yours, as well as our business reputation.

As of this evening, 12daily Pro will no longer be accepting upgrades or making withdrawal payments via E-Gold.com. We will honor all current pending withdrawals and upgrades purchased using E-Gold with a payment of full earnings and referral commissions. This evening, we will make the last of our E-Gold payments, which will be for all upgrades expired on Dec. 23. For all E-Gold upgrades expiring on Dec. 24 - January 18, payments will be made by Jan 31, with the timing of payment somewhat dependent on which payment option is chosen. We will be offering a number of payment options to all members will pending E-Gold withdrawals and active upgrades. Beginning Monday, January 9, members will be able to submit a customized support ticket for each affected upgrade which will allow you to select from the following options:

1. Payment via Storm pay (fastest option, 1% fee). We have had hundreds of requests for such transfers in the

2. Payment via EMO (no fee)

3. Payment via EMO money order (must be US citizen and have withdrawal amount $1000 or over)(fee tbd)

4. One time only compounding of withdrawal into new upgrades package(s) to allow time to setup/verify a StormPay or EMO account. (fee will be any amount under $6 left over after all withdrawal funds are applied to new upgrade package)

These options will generally all prove faster than recent E-Gold withdrawal times and all E-Gold withdrawals will be completely paid by Jan 31.

For more information on EMO, our new payment processor, please read the news item entitled, “Our New Payment Processor”. We will begin accepting upgrades via EMO sometime next week. The good news for E-Gold users is that EMO accepts E-Gold funding, so your transition should be an easy one. And international users will find a great benefit in their debit card option.

Please do not submit help tickets or phone calls regarding this matter this weekend. We will be opening a new dept. just for these customized requests on Monday and will expedite requests in order of expiration.

We know there will be a lot of questions regarding this and we will be providing more clarifications on Monday along with the opening on the new dept.

Know that this action will also allow us to feel secure that 12dp itself is not being utilized by criminals for the same illegal purposes as some are doing with E-Gold, as members who are NOT involved in any illegal activity will have no problem or issue with creating verified accounts with one of our two other processors.

We thank you for your patience and support during this time. We have made this decision for the safety and security of our program funds and yours.

Charis
12daily Pro Admin"

And then, some clarification came:

"Quick update on some issues...

1. We are working with Stormpay to resend notices to our system of upgrades purchased on Jan 5-6 and this should correct all outstanding missing Stormpay upgrades.

2. Note that the new payment schedule for all remaining E-gold withdrawals will be posted on Moday. Keep in mind that the news item said BY Jan 31, NOT on Jan 31. Likely most will be paid in under 10 biz days, some even sooner depending on the chosen payment option and in order of expiration.

3. We have completed 70% of the payments for Egold accounts expired on Dec. 23, as we posted about in the recent news item. As soon as we receive our list in-exchange of e-gold, we will be able to complete the rest of Dec. 23 and mark them all processed. We anticipate this should be sometime before the end of the weekend."

So, that's it in the world of 12DailyPro for now, they're still kicking it and going strong, and lets hope this transition is smooth and we get many more happy returns.

PrivateOpps

Well, PrivateOpps has had a round of updates as well. Key points were:

"(1) A message from Robert Vaughn

Hi everyone, and Happy New Year! This is Robert Vaughn, operations
manager of PrivateOpps. I am very pleased to present you with our second
monthly Newsletter.

I hope all of you have had a wonderful holiday season and a great new
start to 2006!

PrivateOpps has seen enormous growth within the past six months, with
close to 3,000 registered Participants (900 of whom joined in the past
5 weeks alone!) PrivateOpps is quickly becoming the program of choice
for many online investors.

We have many great things coming up in 2006, including new Contracts,
weekly contests and raffles starting next week, and our own Debit Card
solution that is linked directly to your PrivateOpps account. Stay
tuned!

As always, feel free to contact me directly at robert@privateopps.com.
For general account support, please consult our Support Desk at
support@privateopps.com.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(2) PrivateOpps in Numbers!

Here are some statistics (as of Jan. 6, 2006, 5pm EST) for those
number-lovers out there:

* 2,943 registered PrivateOpps Participants since July 20, 2005
* 2,091 of them currently hold Units
* $1,516,480 currently invested in "Contract" Units
* $239,193 in profits withdrawn by Participants thus far
* $111,922 earned by Participants in our Referral Program
* 1,934 emails / support tickets processed
* 620 registered Users in our Forum
* and... 6 DDoS attacks sustained so far, all mitigated within a few
hours

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(3) e-gold Updates

As some of you know already, e-gold has suffered long downtimes in
December, and was recently featured in a news article after Federal
investigators had visited their offices, seeking information regarding
fraudulent transactions involving several e-gold users.

We at PrivateOpps do not believe the recent events have any long-term
consequences over the operation of the e-gold system, and will continue
to accept e-gold deposits and withdrawals as usual, as it is currently
the currency of choice for most online investors. e-gold is a stable,
secure, and efficient way to transact online, and we have no plans to
replace it as our primary processor.

However, it is not the only digital currency we support - you may also
deposits and withdraw funds using e-Bullion, 1mdc, or Pecunix.

(5) New Turing Test implemented

I am happy to announce that a new Turing Test has been implemented on
our website last month, and both the Signup and Log-in pages now require
you to enter a code shown in an image.

By entering the code, you help us prevent automated registrations and
brute-force attacks initiated by malicious users trying to illegally
gain access to Participants' accounts. This also reduces system loads
and ensures better performance of our service.

At PrivateOpps we are committed to providing all Participants a secure
investment environment. As we continue to grow on a daily basis, it
becomes worthwhile for malicious users to abuse our service in an
attempt to illegally obtain Participants' funds.

The Turing Test is the first in a series of upcoming security
enhancements. Next on our list is the ability to configure IP-based
access restrictions! Stay tuned! We hope that the new Turing Test will
not be of an inconvenience to you, and appreciate your understanding and
cooperation in our efforts to better protect your account.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(6) What's next for the PrivateOpps "Contracts"?

Six months after our launch, we currently feature 7 Contracts in our
system. As we continue to grow (averaging 20 new accounts a day), more
Contracts will be offered on our system. We already have plans to
introduce FOREX.II in 2006 (daily interest rate and Holding Period are
still to be determined), along with another brand new Contract from a
new private club.

As you know by now, PrivateOpps is here for the long-haul. The private
clubs in our system are very satisfied with the results since we went
live, and are showing interest in possibly issuing additional Units once
they sell out."

Another update was issued which pertains to E-Gold and things mentioned prior in today's roll of Updates. It claimed that the article against E-Gold was slander and directs us to this letter over at the E-Gold site to read the other side of the story. So everything is still looking good in the world of E-Gold and PrivateOpps is as of now panning out even better than I hoped.

Alientrust

These guys just keep on keeping on and there's some more positive updates.

"Morning Everyone,

As promised, even though E-Gold wouldn't give you your money back - WE will!

All members account that were part of the hacking shortly after we launched that are still with us, have been credited with the shares they lost during that incident.

Sorry it took so long, but we wanted to be sure that we were in a financially stable position for this to not be an issue at all, so we erred on the side of caution.

Thank you all so much for your continued support and we're happy you decided to stay with us, we only actually lost about 5 members in that entire incident, so it all turned out pretty well.

Thanks again and have a great weekend.

V"

So a positive and generous end to something from their inception - they made a promise and kept it. Cool!

NS-FG

Well, NS-FG have got a website. Check it out! I highly reccomend these guys as a positive, solid base for your investments.

Till next time, ciao y'all.

My-Odds

Where the hell did this come from?

I noticed these guys on a banner ad the other day and thought nothing of it. They were offering 101% every 12 hours automatically (1% profit) straight to your E-Gold account. Forget it, I thought.

Then I noticed a discussion thread based on them, and people claiming they had been running for 400 days.

That's where the story gets interesting. A rater or two has been monitoring them for over 40 days.

They claim they have been online since 2004. Here's their whois info:

"Registrar of Record: TUCOWS, INC.
Record last updated on 08-Nov-2005.
Record expires on 05-Nov-2006.
Record created on 05-Nov-2004."

Yep, looks good, strangely enough... but have they been active all that time or have they just been a blank site looking for cred?

Well the WayBack Machine has copies of the site from February 2005.

Sounds really good right? However, raters have only had them on for about 40 days. Who knows if the site was actually active back then?

I have found it to be an interesting opportunity nonetheless. The trader claims to do sports betting and arbitrage, and you get a 1% profit every 12 hours AND he throws in a compensation for E-Gold fees. I have made a few test spends and been impressed each time, often my spend will be returned within 10 hours.

So... My-Odds is an interesting little beast. It could be full of it, but the minimum is only $25 and you only have to wait 12 hours to see whether your gamble pays off.

If you've got a bit of spare cash and looking for a quick return, these guys are looking like a good bet. They do things a little differently, which, often means longevity (a well designed ponzi with effort put into it) or they may in fact be legit!

My-Odds.

I'm putting them in the medium risk HYIP section for now.

Updates - January 07th 2006

Alientrust

Well there's been some movement on the Alientrust front lately with two news items. Because I'm lazy, here's a copy and paste of their company merger announcement:

"Good afternoon Everyone,

I know it's been a while since we've had any news but that's a good thing in this case because we're growing like crazy and finding it increasingly difficult to keep up.

For those of you familiar with TrafficMeltdown, you may already know that my good friend Brian Sams has sold that business, and we've now merged North Shore Media and BJ&J Enterprises into one much stronger company.

We're in the process of completing some major steps to help strengthen the company and provide much improved service to all of our members worldwide.

We've just rented our first small office and will be renovating it over the course of the next few weeks to prepare for the continued growth of the company. As part of that renovation we will be installing a completely new phone system to provide live customer support, along with a new email trouble ticket system, and the upgraqde of the Live Chat support, which we've been waiting on for quite a while now.

We'll also be making some major changes in terms of equipment which will help strengthen the company even further by purchasing and maintaining our own servers on-site along with a team of administrators and programmers to assist in the work necessary to maintain the monster that AT is becoming.

For those of you unfamiliar with Mac, my suggestion would be to surf a few terms and go get one! Incredible is the only word that fits. Talk about smooth surfing. In researching servers we decided to go with the new Mac X-Serve units for overall performance and flexibility, not to mention of course security. No viruses are able to infect a Mac machine as of yet, so this is the optimum environment for both surfing and administration.

We're also going to be launching a new venture shortly that is going to absolutely BLOW your socks off! We call it an Auto-Surf Alternative. Guaranteed that you'll love it.

So my friends, get ready for some serious growth, stability and earnings to come your way this next year, we're positioning ourselves for the future and you can be right along side us, make every effort to do what you can to solidify your position in AT as a leader NOW.

The possibilities are endless.

Have a wonderful weekend and we'll see ya on the other side.

V"

Notice the mention of an alternative venture to Auto Surf? Could be cool. The second update they published deals with a server upgrade and the fact that live support is back online.

Simple, but good stuff. These guys are still going strong, with no signs of cracks yet.

12DailyPro

Well the server troubles of the past few days with 12DailyPro seem to be over as I can surf again and they had a little news item regarding it. Besides that, everything appears to be going smoothly in the world of 12DailyPro still, just remember E-Gold withdrawals now take longer.

MPDW

All withdrawals and sell backs have been paid for January as of a few days ago.

12 Daily Pro Surfing Holiday

Well, 12DailyPro's had some server problems as of late that culminated today which has resulted in the 5th being a surfing holiday!

So you now have an extra three minutes of time to yourself today.

Enjoy it.

SPECIAL OFFER

Well, boys and girls, in my hunt for Neverending Stori referrals I've decided to launch a patent-pending special offer to make it more enticing for all of you out there.

For now, I'm looking for three (3) more referrals, and to make it more enticing I'm willing to offer anyone who signs up PAID under me $30 E-Gold. Therefore you'll only be paying $70 to join.

Remember, (as far as I can tell) you don't need referrals to earn with Nestori, it just takes a little longer.

Jump on the bandwagon early, I've got a lot of faith in this.

Just contact me via safe-mail when you join and when your status is paid I'll immediately give you the $30.

Happy trails to y'all. As the kinks get ironed out more and more I'm gonna start recommending these guys - keep your eyes peeled for any developments.
