20BTC with escrow.

18.5 here

I would give you 18BTC.

I'll take offers starting at 40 btc
Stable 30 ghs IN HAND

LOL

Thanks. Anyone want to buy it?

Congrats on getting the little single.

RELEASE THE ESCROW

I would say you're good on breakeven. Any online calculator I visited reached that conclusion. The bigger question is what kind of profit can be made in ~12 months. I was seeing ranges anywhere from $500 to $8000 depending on the site.

Well, with the new usb eruptors selling for 0.3 BTC each, that means by early next week anyone can buy 1GHZ for 0.9 BTC. 
30GHZ X 0.9 BTC = 27 BTC so I am not sure this gives you any edge over what anyone else can buy right away starting early next week.

It was a preorder, but an early one. Hope i break even :/

Ah, I thought this was for a pre-order.  Ok, that makes sense and investr did get a good deal.

Lol investr got lucky. I'll post asap.

* within three days of BFL shipping it

Not sure what you're talking about, as I already have the unit and received it from BFL within three days. Bitpop will have the unit and hashing away by Wednesday/Thursday. Everybody wins!

It is very unlikely you will get it by August 31st.  Kinda a stupid deal here - only John K. wins since he gets 0.6BTC for his troubles.

Everything is packed and ships tomorrow morning. I've PMed the documentation, photos, and tracking number.

I trust you

Miner getting delivered today according to USPS tracking. I invite you both to a Skype/Hangout session if you'd like to take a gander and watch me repack it.

Greetings Bitpop and John,

Bitpop: BFL Has just progressed through nearly 1 month of LS orders from June 25 up to July 23 according to the latest blog post found at https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/261-thursday-august-1-2013-shipping-update.html

Please PM me your shipping address in case my orders ships out in the next week or two. Thanks!

Confirmed. Now we await BFL for the news...
Please drop me a PM when updates come as I might not check this thread regularly.

Auction is over. Bitpop won.

does the bid end?
august 31 is fine, i can also follw.

I will pay 30.3 BTC.
Investr will pay 0.3 BTC.

I either get the miner or 30 btc on August 31, 2013.

John please post escrow address and we will use this thread for updates.

Ok deal

The August deadline is fine, but you agreed to pay for the escrow service within the initial terms and bid (as I had agreed to pay for shipping). You should be getting 30 GH/s since that is what the order is for, and BFL has mentioned adding chips/units to fulfill the original orders.

How about we split the escrow fee and call it a day?

I have a little hesitation on whether I'll be getting 25 or 30 ghs.

I may have to ask you pay the 2% and we move the expiration to August 31, 2013. Butterfly will have had A YEAR to ship.

You can send directly to me or not. I don't mind. I'm a very old member and trustworthy.

John suggested the steps from diego1000's thread if he is to escrow, and it looks good to me:

1. Winner sends BTC to the escrow address.
2. When I get the BFL unit, I confirm to escrow and winner, and I will take photos/videos of unopened package.
3. I will pack the entire box (BFL inside original packaging) in a new shipping box, taking care to not break the original packaging.
4. I will send the unit to the winner.
5. Winner confirms to escrow
6. Escrow releases BTC to me.

NOTE:

A) Winner pays 2% fee for escrow
B) I Will pay the ship cost
C) If unit arrives damaged, buyer gets benefit of insurance
D) If unit mines, but is damaged afterwards, buyer deals with BFL directly

Confirmed.

Hey bitpop, John K just informed me that he is overseas and unable to take the package, hopefully he will pop in here to confirm this. I'm sorry about this, I guess I should have asked for his service before starting the auction. Think about what you would prefer to do, I see the options as (a) I send directly to you and John K still escrows the bitcoin, (b) we find another escrow, (c) cancel the auction. I'm open to suggestion.

Congrats bitpop! You win. Yes, I do mean John K. My next step is to contact him and inform him of this auction and its status. In regards to the escrow expiring in October. That would mean either I have not, or BFL has not, delivered on product yet, correct? Sounds fair to me.

I would like to have the escrow expire in October just in case.

Its mine for 30 btc

I think his terms sound fair: (I guess you mean John (John K.) ?)



just the price

You are going to wait until they have shipped before you collect? I ask that because that is not "proof of ownership", a jpg snapshot of an order...

Are you one of the many who "got a refund", and thus, that order is not actually valid?

Just asking. I am not interested in paying 2x more than the existing price, for a device which may come in two months, or a year, or ten... But to those who may actually be interested, that information about actual proof of "current order standing", of "an actual confirmed order recipient", would be more bennificial than a photoshopped and altered image of a screen-shot, which is worthless as "proof". And who is "John"... and since it is YOUR sale, YOU should pay... Why would you demand WE pay for YOUR sale? It is not YOU who needs OUR trust, it is the other way around, my friend. Your expense.
