FeederFund Closing Officially

I don’t support piracy, I am only reporting the news.

A widely available release, located at the usual pirate havens, from a scene group entitled ‘NoPE’ (which doesn’t appear to have released much else) has quickly become the most highly sought-after asset of eye-patched, peg-legged, shoulder-mounted-parrot pirate types.

Vista has been leaked in every conceivable form and in all its various releases and flavors, but has still remained difficult to crack for the average swashbuckling black-beard.

Various timer programs forcing the activation to hold off indefinitely and other cracks haven’t come close to the efficiency of the recent OEM BIOS emulation tool-kit that has floated about – but which is significantly more difficult to use that a ‘normal’ crack or serial.

The NoPE release has a major key difference to other previous pirated copies of Vista – it is completely cracked, the product appears activated, updates work, and no key needs to be entered, straight from the installation media without any effort on the part of the pirate.

We presume that the hackers have managed to replace the Vista image on the DVD, with the pre-cracked version. Microsoft moved to an image-based install with Microsoft Vista, as opposed to the usual convoluted set up process.

Several readers have reported it working perfectly.

It’s taken a few months since the launch of Windows Vista, but the product now seems to be successfully cracked, and even simpler to install than previous leaked copies of Windows XP – which always required a serial.

It remains to be seen if Microsoft’s new anti-piracy measures, coupled with Windows Update, will be able to counter-measure this new release, even so, now the pirates have found a method to install pre-cracked versions on the installation media, Microsoft will have a significant fight on its hands to keep Vista piracy-free.

Omnipay temporarily suspends outexchanges

I think that it could be good news for the future of e-gold too.

I think that Dan deserves it

Hello.

In my last three updates I kept saying that I will take a break. Somehow I never found time to do that. This week I have to take time off, it’s obvious to me I’m too burned out to work.

The little profit I made so far will be used to cover the exchange fees I’ve been paying lately. Yes, everything needs to be balanced in the end So there is no profit for investors or for me this week.

I will be back this weekend and will resume work on Monday. Deposit confirmations will be sent when I come back. Expect to see a refreshed admin next week LOL

Regards,
Dan

Another ponzi affected by the e-gold indictment run away with lies and simple propaganda, please read:

Our Beloved Knights and Knightresses,

We bring this unfortunate news with a laden heart. This is going to be a detailed and an honest email filling you in on the ‘behind the scenes’ that we admins went through for the past 2-3months, so please take the time to read it.

First off, our heartfelt gratitude goes out to alot of you who supported us through thick and thin and believed in us by re-purchasing and promoting our site. Thank you for the trust and confidence you have placed in our unique Knight system.

Its a great concept which fell prey to many variables and did not reach its full potential. Purchases and new membership did not trickle in as expected past few weeks especially after the egold situation.

On hindsight, as many of our knights know, we went through many obstacles from host complains and moving servers multiple times to false accusations to egold and having many of our egold accounts blocked then and even now. Even when we paid promptly everyday the site was up, we were victims of fake bad votes. There was also trolling especially from members who are paid and are in profit. The biggest blow of all were the 22 days of incessant DDoS attacks that took us offline for almost 2 weeks and put a dent on our success. Nevertheless, we paid for top-notch security which kept the site online despite the continued DDoS attacks. However, our worst fear came true and it was all a little too late by then.

Up until the DDoS attacks, site was doing phenomenally well to the extent that if that exponential growth had continued without any disruptions,
we would have build up a reserve so huge that it would have helped LightHalzen sustain for many months down the road. Even after engaging Black Lotus Anti-DDoS package, we were still being heavily DDoSed and site had to sustain further downtime. This time around, new members especially those who just joined our esteemed Knighthood, confidence amongst them diminished substantially and started to withdraw their rebates just to exit out of the program. Unfortunately momemtum lost from then on. Even then, we admins persevered and embarked on an extensive advertising and promotional campaign all over monitors and numerous forums. The quest to succeed was driving us forward.

Ultimately, the biggest unexpected blow was the news of egold indictment. Egold being our only payment processor until then caused a major impact on our program as many in the industry went on a panic mode pulling their funds out and even members didn’t re-purchase as much as they used to. The egold fiasco had a ripple effect on the industry as a whole which further crushed the momentum as new membership was at a standtill and this only further crippled the site. After the egold drama, things did not pick up as we had hoped and thats when we finally dug into the reserve pool of funds. This was necessary as we were not at the stage to allow the LSP to dip below the MAX LEVEL. If we did not do what we did, there would have been a total loss of momentum which would have resulted in the sudden death of the site back then. We were hoping that the panic mode would die down but if you recalled, our thread at MMG was turned into an egold discussion thread.

Fear and uncertainty was rampant in the air. The first course of action we took was to quickly add another payment processor E-Bullion, hoping in vain that things would pick up. Unfortunately, this move did not bring about the results we had hoped for and we had depleted our reserves by then.
Which was why Stage 3 Revamp was vital but this led to a major uproar amongst the masses who started pulling out from the program. Our next move was to add Alertpay but even then, we admins ended up using all of our admin funds to help boost the program, hoping in vain once again that the situation would improve with stable rates and cycle the shares out.

As its evident, its been a constant long drawn out battle for us admins with tons of variables which were beyond our control but yet, we kept coming up with various solutions and never once gave up hope. Someone else in our shoes would have bailed out long ago. We were determined to run this site which was why we continued embarking on our advertising and promotional campaign, buying banners and sponsoring vidcasts. Disgruntled members due to the reduced max LSP did not wish to vote anymore. Paying promptly did not matter anymore as people were more into high risky ROI gambling.

Even after 2 weeks of max 5% LSP, site still failed to show any improvement and since reserves were depleted completely, we could not complete our payouts yesterday as we had to wait the following day’s purchases to clear the previous day’s rebates. When current purchases and reserves are in negative and with purchases not trickling in as expected, we are left with no option but to close the doors of our beloved Castle. Some may wonder, this is a Profit Share site, why not just let LSP take a dip? This wont work out, because it will just cause a domino effect where the next day is 1% followed by 0.1% then 0.01%. If LightHalzen was launched last year, we might have succeeded. However, factors beyond our control such as the egold fiasco is something we never anticipated to hit us as hard as it did.

This has been a great learning curve especially in terms of getting the best security and which ads and promotions bring about maximum exposure for a site but most importantly, we had the pleasure and feel blessed to have met some of the best people left standing in this industry.

We would fondly miss our [milk] Mods and many of our superb Knights to which we can not thank enough. May God Bless all of you with abundance of wealth and good health.

Refunds would be impossible as reserves have been depleted to a negative level. And for those who wish to audit our egold accounts, please feel free to email us for login details.

We admins will still be around the forums and please accept our apology for those who incurred losses. We will still be here to answer any queries and concern you might have and are not going anywhere.

Sincerely,

LightHalzen Team

Hello,

Regards,
Dan (OptimusLH)
Life Holdings Management

It’s incredible how William can send an email like this!!

You must read it to believe it!! He also recognizes that please-invest was a ponzi and he is requesting new investors!!:

Dear Please Invest users,

Anyone who has been paying close attention to Please Invest for the past two weeks will be well aware that as of the end of April we have been demonstrating difficulty is completing pending withdrawals. This was caused by many events ranging from the indictment of e-gold to a mass withdrawal by members.

I will be honest. For months now, Please Invest has been operating without 100% stability and was always at risk of failing. This was primarily caused by our exorbitant advertising costs which were necessary to ensure that round two would be possible. Unfortunately the final straw was the indictment of e-gold which lead to a mass exodus within the program.

Round 1 of Please Invest is now complete and we will be starting round 2 tomorrow. All accounts have been credited with a 100% loss. All withdrawals have been cancelled and everything is set and ready to go again. This time, Please Invest will operate with the strictest of rules and will not experience such problems as it did during round 1. Round 2 will be entirely backed by real investment activities and will not be a ponzi.

Why would I invest again?

Please Invest round 1 did not work exactly as it was planned, however with round two you will be able to recover your initial investment (if you had lost in round 1) plus you will be able to achieve a healthy profit. If you did end up coming out with a loss in the first program, you are more than eligible to take part once again in order to recoup your loss and reap the rewards that Please Invest has to offer.

If you did manage to profit from Round 1, congratulations. You have successfully accomplished what many have not. Your sound investment strategy has served you well and I encourage you to use a similar strategy in round 2 in order to once again achieve the most favorable outcome.

The Guarantee

When Please Invest first began I posted a guarantee on Guaranteed Hyips that Please Invest would be around until 2012. Please be aware that I plan on upholding this promise and Please Invest will not disappear prior to then. I will always be around, posting in the forums and replying to your emails. Please Invest is here for the members, not for me. My goal is to serve you to the best of my ability and make us all rich. Who wants anything more than being rich?

I know that the situation with Please Invest in the past week has been rather unfortunate however it is merely a small obstacle towards the ultimate goal. Thank you for participating in Please Invest round 1 and I hope you embrace the opportunity to participate in round 2 of Please Invest.

If you have any questions, message my new e-mail questions@please-invest.com

Thank you for your time,
Please Invest
