Title: Burn Wii games for me -- .10 BTC apiece
Post by: redicarus on May 23, 2011, 10:29:52 PM
I recently bought a modded Wii, but my internet connection is terrible. Burn a working Wii backup from the list below and mail it to me, and I'll send you 10 bitpennies for every working disc, or just send me your existing, working Wii backup discs. PM me with the games you have, and I'll set up a clearcoin.

Desired games:
 - No More Heroes 1 (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2177817/27579349/)
 - No More Heroes 2 (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2111711/3939907/)
 - Super Mario Galaxy 1 (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2152269/35459163/)
 - Super Mario Galaxy 2 (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2253299/35459163/)
 - GoldenEye 007  (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2438652/7879814/)
 - Resident Evil 4  (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2414446/23639442/)   
 - House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/1680107/27579349/)
 - House of the Dead: Overkill (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/1814650/3939907/)
 - Conduit 2 (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2625794/15759628/)
 - Super Smash Brothers Brawl (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2362462/7879814/)
 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/1023845/19699535/)
 - Castle of Shikigami 3 (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5351748/Castle_of_Shikigami_III_%5BUSA%5D_%5BWii%5D_%5Bwww.PorTorrent.com%5D)
 - Mario Kart Wii (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2362442/7879814/)
 - Elebits (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/950782/7879814/)
 - Trauma Center: New Blood (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2116249/35459163/)
 - Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4897382/%5BWii%5DGuilty_Gear_XX_Accent_Core_Plus%5BNTSC%5D%5BWiiSOS.com%5D)
 - Tatsunoko vs Capcom (http://www.demonoid.me/files/details/2116408/31519256/)

edit: added links.

That's 1.7 BTC altogether, for a handful of DVDs and a stamp. I'll pay a bit more if the games arrive in soft sleeves, but don't send hard jewel cases. Since a DVD weighs 16 grams, and the USPS charges 44 cents for an envelope up to around 93 grams, I'll send another .10 BTC to cover shipping costs if you're sending more than 5 discs at a time.

People who have a Wii to test out games are preferred, but I'll buy from anyone with a working backup. Games should be NTSC or RF.

do you have a burner? what if i send you an .iso file for the backups? all you have to do is burn the .iso to a dvd

Sure, that would work, but you'd have to physically transfer the files to me somehow. My download kB/s is in the double digits, so internet is no good.

provide a list of download links/ torrents so we know what you are after exactly.

That way one can download all the links burn them as iso files and let you create the Wii compatible disks

I PMed, but I'd like to add that I've got an account with a high quality game torrent tracker, so I can get things quickly 99% of the time.

I'd also be willing to burn dvds and mail them, or do what I pmed about.

I would suggest NOT getting involved with this.
This is often a tactic of law enforcement.
They will pay you to do something illegal for them,  then arrest you for it.

I'm sure they would love to use this as one more way to demonize bitcoiners.

WATCH OUT!

On moral grounds...
You might advice against this...
But the beauty of BTC...
Is its anonymity....

Nobody needs to know...
Who the seller is in this case...
Don't think law enforcement...
Would waste a ton to track him down...

Hang on...

1BTC is worth about $7, right?

So you're paying 70 cents for each game?

I doubt very much that will cover the cost of the disc or the packaging, let alone both and adding postage on top of that. Especially since I know at least one of the games you asked for requires a dual layer disc.

This is a silly idea.

Also, that'd be entrapment.

Which game? Sorry, I was under the impression that Wii games were all small enough for a single layer disc. I'll pay double if a single iso image had to be split across two discs to fit. Also, I mentioned that I would pay for packaging and shipping in the original post. And at the Fry's near where I live, you can buy regular writable DVDs for around $10/50 disc package. That leaves a 70% margin to pay for bandwidth and time.

Also, this is not an FBI-Nintendo joint sting operation.

Police don't care about entrapment one bit.
They do it every day, all day.
