I run 5 rigs with 21cards in my 900sqft condo in Calgary, have 2 12000btu A/C units and it still gets up to 32c if I have everything running. My one crutch is that my unit faces south so I get a lot of sun heat. I too have "shared" utility costs but have come to a limit with my power panel, you got quite the setup to avoid that problem.

Locally (Canada) there are several home lottos that support charity/non-profits/hospitals in my area that run throughout the year.... They typically have at least one home, various vehicles, trips and then a lot of small prizes. Typically your odds of winning (something) are 1:20 and tickets usually are $100ea sometimes with larger packs available for less per ticket.

In the past I have contributed to some of these, as I feel that worst case if you win nothing you have helped a worthy cause. As such being basically gambling there is in no way any kind of charitable write off for tickets purchased. Most I have ever won was some cheap mp3 player that was probably worth less then what I paid for the ticket. But there's that chance of winning something sizable, and it's better odds then some powerball or lottomax.

I was just curious if there would be interest in pooling resources to buy tickets, and then share/split any rewards? For now I'm just interested if people would want to pursue something like this, we can hash out details if this idea has the legs to go anywhere.

Let me hear what you think.

I'd recomment getting ahold of CCLIU --> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=48116

We got the coins, and that ain't no Bull !

Would you consider a rebate offer for silver maples equal to that of eagles, or do they fall in the category of other .999?

Another smooth transaction face to face locally. Got it all done while not abusing the 15min loading zone parking

I like the $1m Gold Coin by the Royal Canadian Mint

The cost/oz goes way up the smaller volume/size silver you buy, can we get some idea's of the volume and or markup you are paying?
To have your shares issued with a silver cost of 5% above your purchase price and not to detail how/where/volume you will be (or already have) bought/buying doesnt really tell us anything other then the fact that we can get the same silver for 5% less on our own.
I've been converting my BTC into silver since Christmas, tried one of the online btc->silver dealer but in the end have settled up with someone local that sells cheaper then the btc shop, and saves me on any shipping costs. Are you using such services or buying the silver with USD somewhere local/online?

I see in your books you are starting out with 1oz, 31.1g of silver, is everything else being bought with the proceeds of the IPO or is it already secured?

I'm interested but not sure if this will prove to be an efficient way to purchase silver with btc.

Bought another 10oz bar today, cheaper then coinabul and local so 0 shipping.

Bump for an awesome laptop, I'm currently running the same rig from Sager but with a 580m (upgraded before getting into btc)

Bought another 8 Maples, local face to face transaction. All went smooth.

Not all bitcoin apps are dropped.
From the list above most all monitoring, market pricing, and info apps related to bitcoin have been and will continue to stay in the app store.

What they won't allow is anything that facilitates a btc purchase/transfer, cuz obviously they won't be getting a cut, nor do they want any cut of virtual currency.

Got my 10oz bar and 5 maples from CCLIU today, face to face meet at a local coffee shop. He was patient enough to wait while my client downloaded 4k blocks (gotta get that done before leaving the house next time) And easy to get in contact with via PM/sms to arrange the meet.

Cant find a better deal that saves me on shipping costs
Beat his competitors price on the spot.

All in all a great transaction, I only hope he can keep his inventory up

My silver maples show up in a plastic sleeve... Not sure if it's still the case but you might get the whole tube should you order 20/25 buffaloes/maples.

Got my third coinabul order in the mail today, great product and packaging.
Unfortunately slow service, ordered April 3rd. Perhaps my choice of product was unusual or harder to get but a 2.5wk processing time is getting too long. I would think the whole idea behind a "secure warehouse" would be to house some product, why it takes more then two weeks to get out of storage is beyond me.

Perhaps the site needs to be updated to show available inventory, people won't place orders for items out of stock. Thus they could choose to either get what they want And maybe wait or get whatever is in stock.

Trying my hand at a local seller for my next purchase, in person transactions means the item is present when I send coins instead of a one month wait.

At least you're open and honest. We can see you want 20btc for something worth 8.

Gadzeuks is that what does it? Nice to know... The monitor shall stay unplugged unless needed.

For what it's worth, in my silver orders shipped to Canada from coinabul I pay about 7.5btc insured for the equivalent of less then $1000us, one coin over and it doubles.... Try playing around with order size and you might get a smaller s+h.  Of course you may be ordering significantly more then I do.... Especially if you're buying gold.

I choose to do frequent smaller orders to spread btc value risk over many transactions.

I guess I didn't spell it out but was wondering if an in person exchange would be possible.

Any chance of bypassing shipping costs for someone local? Do you shop at Albern? I'm located in the deep SW.
