Show HN: Get Rich Quick – the ultimate Web3/crypto project

getrichquick.me

I already heard about the developer of this project. People call him "Eugene the crypto alchemist" on Discord.

I wouldn't trust these GRQ schemes. They're always scams that will steal your money.

completely agree. but this looks kinda neat & legit. i'm still waiting for my payout...

You obviously don't understand how getrichquick.me works, it's pretty amazing tech really that has thousands of real world applications already.

Could you tell me how it works at least? Or is it "magic"?

Don't bother, you're replying to a sock-puppet account owned by the scammer.

"Send me money to get a huge payout." Scam.

From the HTML source:

so, how did it feel?

did you believe it for a split second? did you actually expect something to happen? when the button lit up, did you..?

yeah, uhm... so, this was obviously a scam, like so many other crypto scams. did i say scam? i meant satire. this is satire. i'm making fun of crypto/web3 gold rush. i think it's extremely stupid. it's a pyramid, a scam, a Ponzi scheme.

wait, what? you paid your actual money for real? well, too bad. too bad crypto is decentralized, there's to authority to report me to, there's no one to get the money back from. yeah but it's cool. the future. web3. oh yeah. oh right. oh boi.

well i guess we can say you paid for the excitement? for those brief moments that you felt something? for the dopamine rush of OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I'LL BE RICH? i hope it made you feel like you didn't in a long time. so, consider this an experience that you got, and a story that you can tell. it's a nice story to tell at a party. i'm sure it's worth it.

it was nice meeting you, even if briefly. good luck!

where did you get that?

Visit the source code ( view-source:https://getrichquick.me/ ) And scroll down to where it says <div id="slide4" class="invert">. In that div, you can find the text proving how much of a scam this is. To anyone wanting to try it: DON'T.

isn't it illegal to hack into other people's websites and look at code?

LOL, you must have very little knowledge about how this stuff works. Try it yourself, Ctrl-U (on most browsers) should bring up PUBLIC HTML source code. It's not hacking, and people use this all the time for debugging.

my uncle works for the FBI. i just checked with him, and it's actually a federal crime. if i were you, i'd delete this comment, and cease to partake in illegal activities, as well as recommending others to do so. good luck!

oh yeah well the FBI works for my uncle and he says your comment is a conspiracy

Look at who you're replying to. Also he's likely making reference to the ridiculous case in Missouri

good catch on both accounts, well done
