Hi all,
I can attest that they do, in fact, pay out. I registered for an account like a week ago, and I made 2 investments - $10 each. You can log in each day and see that the 2% per day promised on that contract - so when I log in I see that I have been credited $0.20, two times. The minimum withdrawal is $1.00, so when I hit that amount, I withdrew it, in Bitcoin, to my Coinbase wallet. Of course, it was a tiny tiny fraction of Bitcoin! One important point: The 2% per day that you are credited is BOTH gain and original investment. When the 90 day contract is up, and you have received $18, that's $10 of your original investment and $8 of gain...I at first thought it was all gain and that you could then withdraw the original investment, but I clarified through online chat.
Today, I invested $100 on a new contract. I transferred in $100 worth of Ether from my Coinbase wallet.
I must say that the $2,500 contract look awfully tempting...I did some calculation, and the earnings are $37.22 per day, or $1,116.67 in a month's time. Again, that's GAIN only...on the $2,500 contract you are credited $65 per day (so $37.22 in gain and $27.78 in return-of-principal). I have 3 kids all at home now on remote learning due to the pandemic, and one of them has health issues, and I was forced to stop working in October. I drive for Doordash and Grubhub for some money. The thought of $1,100+ in passive income monthly is kind of mind-numbing.
All of the above said, I am of course a bit leary. It seems way to good to be true. My gut tells me they are China-based. I am hesistant to transfer $2,500 over and then when day wake-up to find the website is gone....along with my $$$$.
On Youtube, somebody named Sam Ellis has several review videos of Watermine. He seems to have like $5 - $7k invested with them and has used them for several months. Here is a video of his (I believe he also earns if somebody signs up with his affiliate link.).
I am going to see how it goes with this new $100 investment, and make a couple of more withdrawals to re- re-confirm the process...and then maybe invest in the $1,000 contract.
