The reason for this post is because I just so happened to win the top level prize of a contest over at Zeusminer.com. Here's the forum thread for your perusal:
https://zeusminer.com/forums/topic/crazy-wednesday-rock-n-fly/So now my dilemma. I won the ability to purchase the package of the three New Rock Miners (100-110 Gh/s each) and the mini drone for 120$ USD. I have until 4:15am tomorrow to send 120$ USD worth of Btc or Ltc to a specified set of wallets or I forfeit my prize. I'm short, and only have at my disposal credit cards which I REALLY don't want to use for a cash advance to then go to a semi-nearby bitcoin atm to make the deposit to my wallet.
Before I resign myself to the fact that I may have to forfeit the prize to the next eligible participant, I wanted to bring this to bitcointalk with a proposition.
In the spirit of the holidays, you help me acquire this prize, I
Give you one or two of the miners in return. In other words, I'm passing my discount down to you. Ill ship anywhere in the US and pay for standard shipping. If you're overseas, chip-in! Don't expect it before Christmas if you celebrate it. Or we work something else out. As of right this second
http://shop.rockminer.com/goods.php?id=44 is selling them for 170 mBtc, or around 54 dollars. To purchase 3 plus the mini drone would cost around 180$ USD, plus shipping. So even though the price of bitcoin is dropping, the prize is a better deal.
I'm looking to bargain with one or two people on this. 3 or more wouldn't be worth my not having any of the prize left for me. I'm interested in seeing how this turns out regardless, as the peer to peer nature of Bitcoin is pretty much what this post is about.
Here's the email proving I won. Im DJ5D over on that forum.
If nothing comes from this, happy holidays anyways!
