UPDATE:

The response and interest from this board have been great, and we've managed to get a good start on our funding.

We're still looking for lenders and investors!

Our team has a lab meeting tomorrow and then we begin development.  We're pretty close to hitting our goal, so please consider this opportunity to make some extra money and help support a game-changing new product in the Bitcoin community!

It definitely doesn't have to be from one person!  We'd like to see many investors/financiers on the books with us, to keep us accountable and to help spread the word about our project and generate interest.  The more connections, the better. 

As far as individual loans go, we'd like to stay above 1 or 2 Bitcoins just to make book keeping easier. If you'd like to talk directly about it, feel free to PM me.

What's the minimum investment?  Or does it have to be all from one person?

For sure! PM'd

I may be interested, but I am on my way out for the weekend. Can we arrange a time to talk on Monday?

UPDATE:

The TurMine Accelerated Mining Project is now on Facebook! If you get a second, go and check it out and give us a 'like'
We'll keep posting daily updates on the current project status all the way into product launch.

We're still in desperate need of a loan/investors, so if you or anyone you know can help us out, we would be EXTREMELY appreciative.  We're willing to provide proof of ID, social networking sites, we can even do a Skype conference to go over numbers if need be.

Thanks!!!

Makes sense, thanks!

We were planning on purchasing 2 base-level laptops (Acer, Toshiba, or comparable) to use as dedicated machines for the project.  They'll be used for reprogramming, testing, quality assurance, and then end-user testing when the project reaches its final stages.  Because our team could potentially (hopefully!) profit off this project, we're barred from using the lab computers.

At the end of the project, we'll probably sell them back.  We have a suitable mining rig for implementation, and then any expenses following the project timeframe will be paid for by taking low-percentage cuts from blocks generated by users of the TurMine program.

Can I ask what hardware you deem necessary (for $850) to reprogram mining pool code?

Account name on Mt.Gox is 'sblman78'. I started trading with Bitcoin to get some experience with trading on the real stock exchanges and forex, which is what I've been doing since. After I left Bitcoin trading, I got into mining and coding.  As a result, I haven't used Gox in a while, but my first trade was on 8/17/2011. Because Mt.Gox hosts this forum, I may have an account from way back that would corroborate my involvement in Bitcoin. I'll do some digging and see if I can find it. 

If i'm missing anything, call me out on it!

If you have being mining and trading BTC from the early dates, what are your accounts?

I may be interested in this. Can you PM me with your .edu email address that's tied to a social media account or two? Thanks!

Hello!

I came across this thread while looking for coin loans, which is why my account is less than a day old (can provide proof of ID).  At any rate, my team is in need of quite a robust loan -- 65 BTC -- in order to begin work on a specialized group-source collaborative Mining program project at my university.  We're a team of 12 computer science students who have been active in bitcoin mining and trading from the early days.  Our goal is to "cannibalize" the framework of one of the larger mining programs and redesign the internals to streamline and enhance the end-user experience, which we hope will generate a greater interest in mining.  

We've calculated our predicted expenses and it comes to about $850 for the hardware alone; we're going out-of-pocket for everything else.  If the project goes as expected, we plan on introducing the software around late March of this year and monetizing it to 1. reimburse our potential financiers and 2. to fund the operation (with bux fixes, support, updates) and projects further down the road.

Now to the nuts and bolts.  We know $850 is a $&!#-ton of money, but that's low-end for the project.  We need a loan of 65-70 BTC to finance our project, so we can begin working right away.  We can work out the terms over private message, and we'll look at both loan and investment offers to keep things moving. Even a donation would be incredibly appreciated!  Transparency in communication is vital in this process, so please feel free to ask us anything about our plans in the space below.  We appreaciate you taking the time!

Cheers,
