I've gotten a couple of PMs from people who have a hard time buying BTC for geographical reasons but are interested in joining. I'm going to set aside funds to convert PP to BTC to send to John K. if anyone buys shares on ebay. Group Buy owners will have to pay 6% more on ebay because of their ebay/PP fees.
I normally don't buy
BTC for others (esp. via PP!) but since this is a group buy with payouts scheduled for November, they won't see a Satoshi of mining payouts if they try a fraudulent chargeback attempt.
Here's the ebay link if you're interested in participating in this Group Buy via PayPal. This is the only HashFast/Cointerra GB offering this option AFAIK:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hashfast-ASIC-Bitcoin-Miner-PREORDER-Group-Buy-164-for-10-12-5GH-s-ESCROWED-/130969048203?Maybe I could get this done. Let me try! This is a good idea although expensive lol
OR could we do a PayPal transfer directly to save some fees? That would be eBay fee and PayPal fee :p
milkbottlec: I highly recommend that you don't get in the habit of sending PayPal money this way, but in this case, if I were to defraud you, you could come right back & trash this thread & the entire buy!
(Then I'd be out the ~$150 or so I've already paid John to set this up & the difference would be taken from my AM shares on collateral) I'll waive the PP fees as long as the payment is set like this: "So & so will receive..."
http://www.insulators.info/general/paypal.htmIn this case, & I really don't want to make a habit of it, I'll help you out because if I help you this way, I can keep those ebay shares reserved for 1 or 2 other people and this way we'll get to our goal faster. I'll send you a PM with the wife's ebay/PP email info when I get caught up.
Update: My inbox has a bunch of messages! That's a good thing for the GB. Not sure how far along we are until after I check ebay & messages but we are but I believe we've gone past the 50% mark. I'll update numbers ASAP. Yikes! Only 179 HashFast Baby Jets left out of 550...
How many shares left? I've given up on my group buy since I look too new here, and it will be hard to sell out all shares in time to purchase one, plus I would be detracting from your shares!
Win win IMHO.
So,
I'd like to reserve
10 shares...
Currently I have an HD 6950 I am trying to sell and two HD 7950 I am going to sell for around 5.5 BTC total.
I have about 2 BTC right now, 1.54 BTC sitting at BTCe, and 16 LTC worth about .45 BTC. In an hour or so, I will plug in my old hard drives to see if I have any forgotten fortune from 2011/2012...
If I recall correctly, I have at least .5 BTC in a cold wallet.dat to amount to about 2.5 BTC. I wish I hadn't sold the 28 BTC I had back then for $12/BTC, lol...
I'd like to reserve two shares with it to get my foot in the door even if I am unable to get more by the time you sell out.
If I do about 6-7 shares through the BTC escrow would you do 3-4 through PP and bypass ebay? I can talk to you about this through PM. As a seller on ebay I know the fees are fking ridiculous.
I'll send the 2 1/2 BTC-ish or whatever I can to the escrow address tonight.
