lol i am not desperate enough to send a pic of a shoe on my head lol
i am legit and i appreciate its hard to believe but I am - any way i can verify that i will

You were desperate enough to take out a 4000% loan, but you aren't desperate enough to take a picture with a shoe on your head?  That is a huge red flag.

Maybe because I have dignity?

or maybe you're just a scammer that setup a brand new account to ask for a $500 'loan'?

I'll note that. Hopefully someone will take up the torch on the distribution. Since I have a 'conflict of interest' of sorts, it should not be me.

edit: also noted I have payb.tc listed as a 2Gh/s instead of 20 Gh/s

I'd say here's what should happen:

A central address setup and published to receive all btc from Andrew/Shakaru.  A claim period is established in which all claims are expressed and verified (pretty much what is happening now).  After the claim period ends, no additional claims will be accepted.  Then as btc are received at the central address, they are paid out proportionally to all verified claims.  I'm willing to function in that role.  If someone else feels more qualified, so be it.

Things to be discussed:

1) I believe all claims should be converted to/expressed as btc to simplify distribution.
2) I believe a USD/BTC should be calculated and adheared to for the duration of the repayments.  I don't know if it should just be done at today's spot or some sort of average value from the past few months.  It seems an average from Aug 25, 2011 until now (6 months) would cover our highs/lows.

If this all seems reasonable,  I've established this address: 1EykWMskDwbqacQAEMZ5AybAa8XQVbPN2o
I'd also kindly ask OP to add a repayment address column to that spreadsheet for each claimant.

Postage is separate.


And how much does that cost?

The cheapest mail rate from 78633 in the US to your location.

aka a postage stamp.

And what makes this $10 bill so special over any other $10 bill?

Notice:

Payments will be delayed today by a few hours today.  I'll be out of the office till around 2pm CST.

Payments: COMING SOOOOOOOON!
1587  Economy / Services / Re: Shades Minoco / Shakaru / Collections / Debt on: February 24, 2012, 02:03:11 PM
any hardware I have is most likely going to be sold on ebay or craigs list to get top dollar. Also because payments are going to be distributed as a whole, as payb.tc said, that woud be unfair so hardware trades are off the table unless you can match what I get on the open market and have such funds split among your self and the other contratees. (thats a word, right?)

And to imsaguys input, I am fully willing to have someone manage the dispersal of funds, but a liquidator will probably hurt repayment. Hardware for mining has a low resale value. But hardware for pc computing and hackintoshs have a quick turn around and larger return. Ex. Am3 cpu, mobo, 2gb ram, 5770 cpu, 4u rack case and psu is worth what, 200 here? I sell that type of setup as a pc for 400 with no problem. I toss Mac OSX on there, its 600 no problem. I make about 3x$45 a day install osx onto x86_64 hardware. This is a strong market here in LA. If I sell have someone liquidate, that 5770 will sell for $65, cpu for 20, and so on. The goal here is to return all of the contract owners money, not sell hardware at forum prices.

(ps. I sell the 5770 and 5850s on CL here for 20%+ within 2 days of arrival.)

I only pm'd to inquire about gpus.  I made no mention of participating in/managing a liquidation.  I'm interested in 5850s and have been known to pay more for the gpus that what some do on here.  I only want to know make/model and price.  If its too high, I'll decline, you go the eBay route and nothing's lost.  If it isn't, then it saves some time, saves some fees, and I know my btc are going to help a bunch of my friends.

Dont know if Canada is like tghe us but the lender could just put a lien on the title
I don't know how it works in this case, however you can put a lien on a vehicle however it transfer to whoever he sells it to.

I know how that all works, but the whole Canada thing complicates things a smidge.

I'm looking at http://betsofbitco.in and I don't see where the odds can be adjusted and the user can be locked down.

The rules as you laid them out are acceptable. You'll need to bet 10, my max payout is 20. Hey RandyFolds, would you mind acting as escrow?

He's reasonably trustworthy, right?

Here's a recap:

I'm paying 2 to 1

The Deadline is End of Day  2/24 PST

Inaba can't make the video and they can't use his unit. BFL can't make the video. This will have to be an unboxing video with a shipped unit. There will have to be tracking information.

This is a video about a shipped unit that will come out before the deadline. The video needs to be posted and linked in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=53530.0 before the deadline.


yup very clean bet it looks like. i will trust most members on the forum to hold the coins, randy is 100% okay with me. all i need is a btc address peace:)

edit: just to make sure... the year is 2012 lol:)

Deadline is End of Day February 24th, 2012 PST

(plus or minus 10 percent) speaking of, have you checked back in with Inabas Single lately?

https://eclipsemc.com/mw.php?key=196e69b1afe10927460b22a8de1c0d

I assume you mean plus or minus 10% of the advertised specs? Not the deadline? Smiley

If about the advertised specs, that's cool with me.



about Inaba's unit, looks like fail internets or that its getting way too hot. i'm sure he will let us know whats going on.

Yeah sorry, the +- 10 percent was a lame joke. the date is no joke.

Witnessed.

I need you to design a graphic for me.  Its to announce a new website coming in March.  I'm open to a wide variety of designs, but keep it tasteful.  Dimensions need to be 210w x 140h.  Watermark it to make sure I'm not scamming.  I'll pay 3 btc to the design I like best.

Maybe for him about 12 weeks after they first promised 4-6 weeks?

The question was: "...if you know it's going to be longer than that it is wrong <sic>"

My response was appropriate.  They did not know it was going to be wrong.. I believe they offered that date in good faith, and nothing in this or the last thread is evidence to the contrary.


Perhaps, but then they should remove the expected shipping times from their website.
1599  Economy / Goods / Re: [WTS] Amazon.com eGift Card for BTC ... Instant Delivery - Limited Quantity on: February 17, 2012, 02:42:24 AM
Any incentive to buy these rather than from people that sell them at 15% - 25% discount on here? You're asking for a 100% face value.

There's no one selling for 15% off right now.  That'd be incentive. Smiley

My reply to Kano applies to you as well.  Your fun is nearly over so make the most of it while you can.  Why some of you are so desperate for these things to not exist I'm not sure I'll ever understand, but whatever gets you off I suppose.

Now it is you that gets to reread.  My posting simply stated that it is bad form for BFL to continue to promise delivery in 4-6 weeks from payment for a device that hasn't been seen in the wild.  A loaner device is not the same as orders being filled.

I know why you so desperately want everything to work out and I'm not saying I want to see people get scammed.
