Hola mis amigos!

Lots to do, lots to tell. It has been of juxtapositions: silent and noisy, uneventful and difficult. As life is, I guess.

Since there are three new programs, some important updates and lots of problems to discuss, let's just dive right into today's portion of money-monitor selected information.

NEW PROGRAMS ADDED: PAIDVERTS, RESORT FINANCE, AUTORICH

Since Paidverts has been having problems with DDoS attacks, it's been hard for you or for me to discuss the website in detail. This MyTrafficValue-related program is "an advertising platform that pays you to interact with advertisers". What does it mean? The program lets you earn by copying text about the ads and visiting the website for 30 seconds.

First of all, despite suffering some sort of paralysis, the program's Facebook page was being updated rather regularly, for instance yesterday we were constantly informed in regards to the site's condition, so to speak. The admin let the users know when the page was down or up, or "finishing up the maintenance for the best security. Bare (sic!) with us. I will let you know once the site is up". Having ways of letting people know what's going on has always been something I consider important – Paidverts here is also on WhatsApp – even if Paidverts wants us to get naked with them, instead of being patient with them…

The domain was set up May 30, 2013 an expires in 2015. Unfortunately no SSL certificate has been implemented yet. Money earned may vary from day to day, but what stays the same is the non-returnable amount of money you need to start investing, namely $1.00. There is no maximum or minimum to withdraw. As I mentioned in the very beginning, the website shares some common ground with MTV – it was "constructed via crowd funding from MyTrafficValue" – so it's only natural that they also share the same server, hence the DDoS problems as well.

As far as the user-type activities go, registering is a piece of cake, but you do need to "enter an accurate date of birth" since it's the "primary security question". What you need to remember is that you cannot view different ads at the same time, you need to pay attention to just one – true in Paidverts, true in marriage… Paidverts accepts payments via PayPal, Payza, EgoPay, STP, PM, Western Union or bank wire. Another important snippet of information is that cash-outs may take up to 7days. Patience is your friend, here, amigos.

Hola mis amigos!

Let me start by saying that you don't have to worry about much.

I mean, not generally in life, I don't know you personally, but when it comes to the news provided by yours truly at the moment I foresee no major heart attacks. So, what else has happened?

NEW PROGRAMS: ALTRADE, PIRATPOCKET

There are two new protagonist to introduce and let's start with AltTrade, a program offering arbitrage and exchange services. AltTrade – as you may have deduced – deals with alternative methods of payment, namely bitcoins and altcoins. Currently holding the PAYING status, AltTrade provide investment opportunities that start at $5, which may be withdrawn after 90 days, and there is no maximum, so sky's the limit. The plan is simple: you get up to 5% daily, "minimum ROI of 1.2 per day”. What they mean is that the profit may change from day to day, but you know the boundaries within which to expect it.

Every transaction is handled manually, and the accepted payment processors include Bitcoin, obviously, EgoPay and PerfectMoney. Payouts take up to 24 hours. What you also need to know is that AltTrade's website is easy to browse and you should – more or less – find everything you need there. Except the details regarding the creators, since they are one of those privacy protected types. Also, the webpage is secured with Comodo EssentialSSL valid for a year. Those who prefer referring to investing can take part in the multi-level referral program: AltTrade pays 0.2%, 0.5%, 1% or 2% commission for each referral.

Hola mis amigos!

First of all, it has been awhile, right? Not much is happening in our alternative world. Peaceful times, boring times.

Still, we should be grateful since the saying goes "May you live in interesting times". In fact, it's an old curse, so we should be truly happy to be bored.

I have a gift for you today: a new review of a new program. I have used the word "alternative" for a reason – yes, I'm very sneaky – because the program, "a service trader", is called AltTrade although it doesn't seem very unorthodox. What's actually alternative is the currency: AltTrade offers arbitrage and "trading between exchanges", that is altcoins and bitcoins, hence – possibly – the name. Unfortunately, not much more can be found as concerns the company behind the very apropos name. No headquarters, no country of origin, no names. Nada, amigos. What I did manage to find out is that the domain was registered on February 23, 2014 and it expires within a year. Yes, that's it since the rest is secret thanks to the Whois Privacy Protection Service. There is just one more piece of solid information available, namely the particulars regarding the SSL certificate implemented into the website: it's a standard Comodo EssentialSSL certificate that was purchased on May 9, 2014 and is also a one-year deal.

Speaking of the website, it provides the user with the most important data and instructions when it comes to the program itself. The page is well-organized, pleasant to look at and easy to browse. Registering is a piece of cake, but AltTrade requires your full personal data, by which I mean your full name, address and birthdate. Bear in mind that there is a limit of one account per person. We do not learn a lot as far as the investment plans details go, but the FAQ section (the link can be found on the bottom of the page) combined with the Terms and Conditions give us a sneak peak into the AltTrade's ideas. What AltTrade does is "trading on the primary crypto currency markets, seeking daily profit opportunities of up to 5%". What you get is a "minimum ROI of 1.2 per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year", so the profit is variable day to day, but the margins stay the same.

Hola mis amigos!

I know, I know, you have been missing me and my ramblings. Sorry to get so distant, it doesn't mean that our relationship is on the rocks, amiguitos, it just means that I'm super busy and, let's just face it, I have a life.

You should try it sometimes, believe me. It's not a" jet-set" life, but we can always keep on dreaming, right, amigos? OK, now, unto the breach…

NEW PROGRAMS ADDED: FUND BARTER, EU5.COM, SELF STORAGE CO.

Unfortunately, none of today's protagonists will give you the ultimate gorgeous website experience, but at least every website presented is decent.

Let's start with the two programs that have accumulated 6 stars in our money-monitor.com scale, Fund Barter and EU5.com. Both are very similar, so it's only fair either way. Fund Barter deals with Forex and real estate, while EU5.com is an "international investment entity that has been official registered in Great Britain in November 2002" and deals with "various areas especially in stock market". Fund Barter's domain was created in 2014 and expires in 2018, and EU5.com was created in 2001, updated just recently and should also last another 4 years. Both websites have been secured with SSL certificates, but it is Fund Barter that implemented Comodo Extended Validation Secure Server certificate valid until March 4, 2015.

Moreover, there's no compounding with Fund Barter or EU5.com, and the principal will not be returned to you. Investing starts at $10. Here's, however, where the similarities end. Fund Barter offers just one 50-day plan with profits ranging from 2.7% to 5.3%, paid from Monday to Friday. EU5.com has three plans to offer: Basic Package, Business Package and Professional Package. They all last 90 days, the daily profits are the following: 2.60% daily if you invest $10-$999, 2.80% daily if you invest $1000-$4999 and 3.00% daily for investors who spent $5000-$500000. Fund Barter accepts STP, EgoPay, Payeer, PM and EU5.com accepts EgoPay, Payeer, Perfect Money and bitcoin.
