Title: Futures Sale 2: exchange rate locked to all time high until 6/16/11 00:00MDT
Post by: bearbones on June 10, 2011, 01:12:08 AM
Right now, that it is 32USD to 1BTC.  Will update on new highs.  The pair I'm basing the rate/highs on is mtgoxUSD.

Why do I do this?  I am confident that any high we see in the next week will not be the high for long.  I can easily afford to wait, and in the meanwhile, it is a fun little game for speculators.  As for you bears, I ask that you put your BTC where your fingers are.

Thanks for letting people know what is on sale, Garrett!  I suppose that might have been important information...

Wow.  This currently works out to ~20% off.  I stand by my word, though, even as the bears stampede.  The above link is a technical explanation of the exchange rate mechanics of this sale, and a proposal for automatic exchange rate updates moving forward.  You can see a json dump of relevant rates here (http://www.bearbones.us/bitcoin/rates.json).  I'd appreciate any input from customers as to the fairness of the proposed system.
