KNCMiners Jupiter: Order slot 1180, guaranteed top 500 queue place.

(payment for this item was not received from committed purchaser from 2 days ago, thus this new auction for the same unit)

I have paid for (& thereby own) one of DeaDTerra's 5 Jupiter units seen here: http://imgur.com/mcEyJ7B (http://imgur.com/mcEyJ7B)

(DeaDTerra will confirm below, and accommodate transfer to buyer upon delivery)

Auction ends no later than Sunday 2013-07-21 at noon UTC (12:00 GMT) (or earlier if a bid is accepted, see below)

Minimum bid US$9,000.00 (payable in BTC equivalent @ Bitstamp last price at end of auction)

Minimum increase US$100.00   --   Additional bids extend the auction by 1 hour.

(recently registered &newbie users can participate if cleared via pm)

*** I reserve the right to end this auction early upon the receipt of an acceptable offer from an acceptable buyer, so bid early and bid often  ;)

$8500 in BTC shipped to the sunshine state...where it rains everyday

When will this be shipping? Sorry if I'm missing some info..

My understanding is September - but I would refer you to the KNCMiner threads for updated information.

lol. 9000

These bids would need to be purchase price only.

KNCMiner has been paid for these units, but shipping will be an additional cost.

(shipping would need to be logistically coordinated with DeaDTerra)

Is that your bid??

no sorry. i was laughing at 9000 dollars for a pre order. lol

It is a reasonable offer Keenan... consider the upgrade units for all the Saturn purchasers, the Avalon orders just shipped and KNC is not outputting any orders from Dec through Feb and have a (probable) terrahash machine on the way for March.

What wouldn't make sense would be buying a BFL machine now... or better yet sell off anything you have currently because the next three months you have to make back whatever you bought before these monsters come out. Can't wait for my KNC order to fill.

selling a pre-order is just a dick move in my opinion. sorry i dont mean to be rude, but its kind of jerkish. i already have my order for knc in and i eagerly await its arrival as well.

I would be interested in this if you can get KnC to transfer ownership. I would not want it shipped, but instead hosted by KnC (their "Stockholm Pickup" option). Is this possible?

They aren't transferring orders anymore. And if I hadn't sold most of my pre-orders some here wouldn't have had the opportunity to acquire one.

This is NOT the same as transferring pre-orders before. This is an already paid for order and not simply an unpaid spot in the line. I don't see why they can't move the order from one account to another.

Well, This is the response we received:

We can have the shipping address changed but not the account associated with it.

And for double the price you loose the option of a warranty.........
So... lets hope nothing happens to it in the first 5 years.......

Exactly.

Well that's a bummer. So what's to stop the account owner from changing the address back once the buyer pays? Also what if the buyer wants to have the unit hosted with KnC.

Meh, this is not wroth the hassle then.

Well I have my own hosting arrangement, and the account holder is a reputable forum member, so I'm still in at $8500 without shipping.

This are registered and paid for by DeaDTerra: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=40976 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=40976)

DeaDTerra pre-ordered and PAID FOR 5 Jupiters, and I purchased (from him) one of the 5. Upon payment, I'll announce the transfer of my interest to the auction winner. Obviously, your ultimate trust is that DeaDTerra acknowledges your ownership of 1 of his 5 units. (He'll take delivery from KNCMiner and coordinate with you)

DeaDTerra will confirm these facts in this thread shortly.

Ok, I will sell you 400 GH/s of space hosted by KnC in Stockholm. I will accept either BTC or paypal. www.bitcoinminersunion.com

Actually, I think DeaDTerra is planning to host his remaining Jupiters with KNC (he's traveling over the next few days in Spain)

Leaving this unit hosted with KNC should be no problem at all. Shipping is also an option.

I confirm that Lowery owns one of the Jupiters that I ordered :)

Very nice of you to offer, but I would be interested in retaining ownership of the unit and not joining a mining co-op/business. I guess I should e-mail KnC to ask them if they have changed their minds regarding transferring ownership of full units.

Btw, can you PM me your price (out of curiosity) for your suggested arrangement?

Thank you for confirming DeadTerra.

I've e-mail KNC to ask them if they can make an exception and transfer ownership.

"Hi because of various reasons we are not facilitating the transfer of ownership for any orders at this time. " - knc support

 :(

DeaDTerra will take delivery from KNCMiner and coordinate with the buyer.

Can you list out the mechanics of how this transaction would work? I presume that you're expecting payment up front, no?

It strikes me as being fairly simple:

I'd provide the auction winner and DeaDTerra with a fresh BTC address, and explain to DT that (upon funding of that address with the agreed-upon amount) I transfer my claim on 1 of his 5 Jupiters from his top-500 queue order to the auction winner. (He's already posted as to his confirmation and cooperation with this sale)

DT will coordinate with the winner for either physical delivery, or hosting by KNC:
For physical delivery, DT would either provide KNC with the shipping address for the single unit, or pick it up himself and ship it to you (winner pays freight) For KNC hosting, I suppose KNC would provide you with access to the unit, or you'd provide KNC with pool information for that one unit.
