Bitcoin FTW!
Honestly it's time to just back the community.

We need to do a groupbuy to speed up sidehack's development and dump all our funds into him.  Grin

Do you think sidehack could offer comparable value?
I bet he could, but it's much too early to see how much the miners will cost- higher efficiency is probably going to happen compared to the A721 though. There will be a nice, big sale for sidehack miners once they come out, though, no rush right now. Smiley if it's anything like the Gekko stick, sales will not be a problem.

Not really a secret...
Bitcoin = having issues in China with that, and the volume they likely will move makes getting cash a hassle most likely. dick move but I see where they come from.
Credit card and paypal have fee's which they don't want to deal with etc. most likely, and can all be clawed back.

Bank to bank transfer, no fee, a lot harder to claw back.

From a simplicity point I see their thought process.
From a business point, they are probably still selling shit tonnes of them.

But from a different business point, they are pissing off and alienating a lot of potential buyers.

Maybe batch one will be like this for a QUICK and easy ROI, and later on they will open to BTC? Who knows..

I was able to get two via Btc.
I was asked to pay a 25 dollar service charge.
I have paid 2043 in btc
It would have 2018 in bank transfer.
So 12.5th for 2043 and it is fedex so I am paying some taxes on this
I will be lucky to pay under 2100 when all is said and done.
The s9 is far cheaper   Say 1800 for 14th

Sounds like something bitcoin would be great for...

I would be happy to use paypal , cc or bitcoin...

Bank transfer  looks to be a real hassle for me to do.

The idea of finding a new bank is not going to happen.

and I had hassles with wells fargo   and multiple accounts being opened by them for me.

more review shows me


CollapseCan I use ExpressSend for business-related payments?


The Wells Fargo ExpressSend Service is intended for use only for consumer-to-consumer remittances and not for commercial or business-related payments. For business-related payments, Wells Fargo offers an array of other services that may meet your business needs. Please consult with your personal banker.

So it looks to me  I can't do a private transfer I have to create a business account.

So How many USA members have done a bank transfer to China?

No newbies please.

Frankly I never did a bank transfer to China from the USA.

I have Wells Fargo and they do transfers to China up to 5,000 and it seems to be only 1 bank in China is to be allowed.

The minimum amount you can send is $25.

The maximum daily amount that you can send to all beneficiaries using multiple Wells Fargo ExpressSend Service Agreements is $5,000. The maximum total amount that you can send during any consecutive 30-day period using the Wells Fargo ExpressSend service is $12,500. You cannot name the same beneficiary on more than one service agreement.

Lower limits may apply at some Remittance Network Members.

The following Remittance Network Members have additional limits on the amount that a beneficiary may receive from any source or combination of sources. Limits described as “Limit using multiple agreements” are applied across all ExpressSend service agreements which a customer uses to send ExpressSend transfers to that RNM. In many cases the Remittance Network Member will also apply these limits to what an individual may pick up or receive during the noted period of time from all remittance providers, not just from Wells Fargo ExpressSend transfers.
