Topic: [Group Buy#1] Avalon ASICs CHIPS! Using JohnK as escrow! FINISHED! - page 10. (Read 150659 times)

My concern isn't that, it's that ""the current list"" is apparently still a WIP..

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AiYcEqkgyjc_dHdIRGhHMG43N21raXJVSjA4dk5nUVE#gid=0

It's only got about 1/4th of the chips/BTC filled in

Or what is the "current list" if not the spreadsheet John K is filling in..?

Said concern will be alleviated when the list is finished

Everybody involved has had AMPLE opportunity to make a timely claim or to contest the current list. If they haven't taken action at this point, the onus is on them.

Continuing this once I get back in about 1-2 hours and confirm something with bigbeninlondon.

Thanks for putting that together, redphlegm.

Transaction fees, primarily. Doing it one by one doesn't change the risk of error at all.

That depends on John being comfortable with sendmany, of course. This is his show.

Hey, have you done this list by the new spreadsheet? because for some reason my return address isn't here

To aid you in the transaction, I have created the transaction that will take your data and require one small change to execute it. In column F, insert this formula and then drag it down to copy it to the rest of the rows that have addresses / amounts:

Then somewhere else (doesn't really matter where - I put it in G2), put this:

Using those two in a copy of your spreadsheet, I generated this:

The only thing to do to run it after that is to remove the comma before the closed curly bracket at the end (red, bold, and underlined). This is because it was a copied formula for the rest of the cells above it that contain the comma. Of course you can change the minconfirm (the 1 at the end) and the comment for the transaction.

Here's the code version with the unnecessary comma removed:

To aid you in the transaction, I have created the transaction...

...

Here's the code version with the unnecessary comma removed:

and in the same cut and paste steps you send out each one by one ...  why be cute?

It doesn't take any time to put the command together. You can do it yourself and see. Open John's spreadsheet and then save a copy. Take the first bit of code, paste it into cell F2. Then select that cell,

Some of us are on edge because we have thousands of dollars in this and we've been going around in circles for weeks with different forms, confirmations, people gathering them, adjusting for chip transfers, people trying to scam/break said forms, etc.

maybe a send many is fine, but the last fucking thing that should happen is he finishes up this form and sends it out immediately

What? Typing them in one by one is magically less prone to error?

If we're super paranoid, John should ping 0.001 BTC to all of the addresses and confirm it's OK, THEN do the final send. But that seems unnecessary to me.

Because you are doing this for the transfer of ~80,000$ and all it takes is one "whoops i made a typo sorry you're out 5000$ and you're not getting it back" or something else to go wrong, intentional or accidental

Less oversight for something like this is bad

what if the wrong person is listed?

Maybe you're right about TX but is a fee even required to get through on the current network?  i thought TX volume was far down from the peak

Why is anyone against doing this? Don't you realize that this type of transaction is done all the time with mining pools, gambling sites, etc? It's not a script. It's a command built into the bitcoind protocol / API. Not only is it faster (eliminating doing each one individually), it also applies the mining fee to the one transaction (for everything) and not to each individual transaction. It's easier for John, cheaper for us, and faster for everyone.

There's no script. See here for sendmany: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

that's nice and all, but this is a one and done event (the refund) so the time it takes to put together a script would be the same amount of time or more than just sending them out one by one
