Interesting way to buy bitcoin

http://cointelegraph.com/news/112829/wall-of-coins-buy-bitcoin-safely-at-your-local-bank

this is a much much better deal.  everyone agrees. thanks for putting up the ticker countdown to the next level so fast. u guys r always quick to hear us.

We changed the structure of the coin sale after listening to the community and the response has been very positive.
We took away the PoW mining altogether and gave more to the crowd sale participants plus there is no waiting period for Bergstake to start working its magic.
Remember you can sell all your BRO if you'd like but Bergstake lasts forever and will keep signing blocks for you!

Thanks all!

there should be a countdown to the next drop in bro coins for purchase.  im planning to buy agin before the next drop and want to make sure i didnt miss the cutoff time.

i think you can buy around 3 million coins right now at around 16,000 satoshi per breakoutcoin

We changed the "coin sale" model to fixed pricing for obvious reasons.  After getting feedback from the community.  We provided a very large incentive for the existing participants to stay with us.  Long story short, the last ones in will be paying a much higher premium for the BRO coins.  The early participants are getting heavily rewarded.  

Any true comparison to the previous model is very difficult to gauge, primarily because the project would not have been viable based on the circumstances that existed. We rewarded heavily, the initial participants and extended the high level bonus period for a number of days to allow others to make a judgement as to whether this is a better deal than the prior one.  Based on @1000 BRO to be the expected sale when the "coin sale" continues the second round, the first rounders are getting a huge incentive to buy a large store of BRO and Bergstake now.

The comparison of raising only 1000 btc in the previous model is a bit shaky, because yes we probably could have still launched, but would the project be stable and successful and properly funded to succeed at that level? The stated goal was much more than that.

We understood the change was not going to please everyone and the entire Breakout community was consulted before we proceeded with the changes. We appreciate your continued support for BRO and we are doing our best to respond to all your concerns in an appropriate and timely manner.

For obvious reasons, we would never make changes or edits without presenting and getting an overwhelming approval from the community first.  Any changes would have to be beneficial to both the community and the project.  The health of one cannot prosper without the other.  The changes were made to make the project more transparent and viable for the long term success of the BRO coin.

For those concerned about the changes in the terms:  

Section 31 of the T&C:

31. Updates to the Terms & Conditions of the BRO Coin Sale
Breakout Services reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, edit, add, or remove portions of the Terms
& Conditions and BRO Product Purchase Agreement at any time during the sale by posting the amended Terms &
Conditions to the Breakout Coin website (https://www.breakoutcoin.com). Any Buyer will be considered as
having accepted such changes by purchasing BRO.

--------

Disclaimer: Breakout Coin and Breakout Gaming are two separate services/entities.  Breakout Coin is offering BRO coins for btc. By participating in this "coin sale," you are not purchasing interest in Breakout Gaming.  You are solely participating in the "coin sale" of a crypto coin that happens to have a gaming company that supports the BRO coin by having their chips denominated in the BRO crypto coin.

As specified in the first paragraph in the Terms and Conditions:

WARNING:  Do not purchase BRO if you are not an expert in crypto tokens or currency and blockchain technology.

This coin sale is not an offer of investment or securities in any business, venture, or company, or in any form of gaming operations or activity; purchase of BRO does not entitle the buyer to any interest in any profits or revenue of any common enterprise arising from the activities of others.

You have 2 choices

1. refund
2. not refund

choose one of them

I think you should take in consideration that their initial plan was to raise 10,000 BTC, if i remember correctly. Original BROs for ICO was 4500,000.00. And if you also think about final number of bergstake - before new changes there would be 14,000,000.00 bergstakes and now there will be only 12,500,000.00.

It might not be what you expected but who says only 660BTC would be raised. Most investors would likely invest in the last few days because 10%, 8%, 6% wasnt that good incentive for many - including me.

You can still get refund, if you dont agree with new terms i believe.

edit: this is a whole new animal, the pow dilution is gone. thats 7 million coins + bergstake taken out of the hands of miners.

@JakeThePanda

Imagine someone sold you a piece of an entity, which we will call Genesis. Genesis is limited in size, but it will grow in the future (after the sale) at a set rate. Initially, Genesis will be divided up into 5,500,000 Genesis units, known as GEN. This means that Genesis is equal to 5,500,000 GEN. The terms that you agreed to when you bought into Genesis stated that the amount of units that you would own will be proportionate to the amount of currency (in this case BTC) that you contributed to the Genesis fund divided by the total amount of currency (BTC) contributed. This would be your fractional ownership. The terms stated that funds would be collected until the close date, which is 30 days from the initial sale date.

You thought that this was a good deal, as you believed that there would be a high demand for GEN in the future, so you contribute 1 BTC to the Genesis fund. Nine days go by, and you and 197 other people have contributed 1 BTC each towards the Genesis fund, which, at its current value, would buy each of you approximately 27,778 GEN (5,500,000 / 198). Now, its too early to say what the actual price per GEN is going to be because the sale has not closed yet, but you can keep a running tally. At this rate, if it stayed constant, one can assume what the price of GEN will eventually be. We take 198 BTC raised so fair, divide it by 9 days, which gives us an average amount of 22 BTC raised per day. 22 BTC time 30 days of the sale, equals 660. So, 5,500,000 GEN divided by 660 BTC, equals 8,333 GEN per 1 BTC, or 0.15% of Genesis.

At this point, on day nine, the seller decides that he doesn't like the original terms, so he decides to update them. He says that Genesis is now made up of 10,000,000 GEN, and that an investment of 1 BTC will equal 6,000 GEN. While not increasing the size of Genesis, the new valuation is equal to about 1,667 BTC. So, you original investment of 1 BTC is now only worth 0.06% of Genesis. Your investment has decreased by 60% (0.15% - 0.06% = 0.09% / 0.15%).

Do you believe that the seller would be acting fair in changing the terms of the sale after you already bought into Genesis?

What exactly is your question?  Yes, they changed the ICO to fixed prices because that's what a lot of people wanted and they need to raise more funds.  So, I and many others bought in at a price of 6,600, which is better than your estimated price of 6,428. I believe they said you can get a refund if you don't like the terms.  

I'll take the new deal for the win.

1. Temporarily closing the sale? Where have they ever said that the ICO was more than 30 days?

Comparing two scenarios...

In the initial ICO, which was UNCAPPED, would have distributed the BRO evenly according to how much BTC was sent, given an ICO allotment of 4,500,000 BRO.  As laid out, if they had raised 700 BTC and distributed BRO evenly (ignore the pro rata stuff for now), each person would get 4,500,000/700 = 6,428 BRO / BTC.

In the new ICO, which apparently is CAPPED and with PRE-SET prices, as laid out, they will probably end up distributing a total of 4000 BRO * 700 BTC = 2,800,000 BRO. They have said before that they will CLOSE the sale once 700 BTC is reached, and if 700 BTC is not reached, they will find a private party to make up the difference.

They have previously said that now the ICO is actually for 10,000,000 BRO now.  When are the other 10,000,000-2,800,000 = 7,200,000 BRO sold? Have they changed the timeline of the ICO sale to go beyond the initial weeks?

What am I missing?

What would make you think that?  My understanding is everyone buys under the same terms, the new terms.
