hmm, interesting

Hi there,

As the subject states, from time to time, our local btc trading exchanges are running substantially higher than the actual market price for BTC, and as it stands now as a rough example, the selling rate is $264 in some areas versus the markets call it $234

I have done this numerous times before, but it doesn't last long and the level is balanced pretty quickly

From collateral perspective - I have 4+ domains registered to me I would hand over, I have a real strong local BTC presence and largely cannot consider hurting my rep at all, my signature in my account tells some of the story.

Yes I don't post regularly and I am not that active on the forums, time doesn't allow, if you want to rank the account etc...

I am fully employed permanently and payday is next week Tuesday, so worst case is I purchase the BTC with my salary incoming and repay

I would like to discuss terms further with whom ever steps forward, however privately.

Cheers.

spelling in subject wrong, apologies haha...

Hi there,

They are still considered pretty rare and hand out's are relatively slow, so now is your chance to grap this one I had received not to long ago, sealed and untouched in email with key in mail.

This is for the NA Region NOT EU.

Price - 13$ worth in BTC to my wallet and a private chat with your email, and boom bob is your uncle.
Then do test and activation ensure its accepting and u are happy and we part ways!

Ready and waiting for your response!

Hi there, the short version on the btc movement here:

Its on the upraise this is definite, getting strong and recently farily doubling in adoption, Much potential here for great services for mobile/payment platforms, mostly low-middle class income individuals. People forget that the USD based price for the US citizen might not be a "heavy expense" in general, however you convert that USD value to our Rand (ZAR) value, then well you are looking at money that people cannot simply for out as they please, its substantial and critical to their monthly survival and savings. If you can cater for the low to middle income class, more of a "millibits" theory, well then get ready for fantastic business and adoption.

here in SA, the average guy has heard the word, the term, knows nothing of Satoshi at all, and know its a digital currency, has no idea why or how or for what they would want to use it, education is key.

Well, if you look closely at my signature you will find I am the owner and head of Cointelegraph South Africa (Franchise) and have been building it piece by piece, stories are scarce and so are interested parties, but that is rising

Hi there,

As stated in the subject, I receiving salary next week, however need to get something paid as a matter of urgency, I have the amount in collateral available in Darkcoin.

Simple/sorted/trusted - let me know who is interested

Thanks everyone, will be sure to shout if I want some input from this great community, thanks for the warm welcome into the fold!

And there it is, so much doubt about when it will be "revealed"

Lets start reading!

Right, so simple business will teach you stuff.. if you can get it for 1 euro at "that" site, go for it, if you want it here now I have keys available, take it or leave it. Not really rocket science. if you dont want to buy it stop commenting and wasting space.

@Deathwing didn't really check mate so if that's the case then sure its asking a bit to much, I just used prices from previous times that I had remembered for other games/keys...

So with that being said, PRICE CHANGE to lets say 1.5 EUR/1.6 $ in BTC? any takers?

Hi all,

I got some of these, unused and ready to go, Region is not an issue, these are "Global" let me know if you are interested.

Hi,

If you see the news and media you would recognize that the new exec of Bitcoin foundation speaks highly of getting involved with crowd funding and using it and putting focus on that a fair amount, so why not get in at the perfect time with a perfect domain name to add to it?

head to cryptogrow.me and take a look I have put a nice little 1 pager up to get the interest buzzing

Open for discussion so let me know.

Description:
cryptogrow.me domain name for sale/auction sporting a focus on crowd funding and the new attention it will most likely receive
Starting bid:
BTC3.2
Buy it now:
BTC5
End date and time:
17/4/2015 @ 12 midnight
Payment methods accepted:
BTC ONLY
Additional information:
None, will assist with transfer and domain move etc.. the site is registered with Godaddy with some additional features like private registration to protect from whois sites etc...

One of the first things we did was apply to the foundation for representation here, to allow for growth and adoption with the foundation's support, never did get feedback but we still feel having a representative office or a partnership with the foundation here to provide insight is highly important.

Expand the reach and do so with a focus on Africa and you will garner real relationships and build that trust. We have been approached by high profile people in the digital abd banking space showing keen interest in Bitcoin but knowing very very little of it as discussions continued. So again, educate!

Hi Bruce, Best of luck in the drivers seat!

I am from South Africa, and briefly scanning over some of the areas of focus you suggest, I can already tick the boxes as a win, especially for Africa and the developing countries

Africa and the unbanked can benefit a great deal from Bitcoin, no need to explain that i think everyone knows that by now. The interesting thing is we are working on exactly what you speak of over here:

Education and Training on Bitcoin
Crowd Funding - This is a real simple way of showing people exactly what can be done.
People here need to know first and foremost the "Why" part of Bitcoin, then one moves to the "What" like apps and wallets etc..

We built our business with the "Why" part in mind.

I dont have extensive experience in the mining locally aspect, never been strong in the mining, some "cloud" stuff but nothing physical, the cost was always to great, then asking around you would get the response about shipping + customs etc.. ruins your investment. So yeah i followed the fold and listened to those with experience, lets call it "non-profitable" at this immediate stage, that's my opinion.

My partner who leads the instructor-led Bitcoin courses has a bunch of bitfury usb miners for the delegates to train and play with during the course...

No need for this anymore, its now locked and you can consider it closed. I have managed to create my BTCJAM listing as I intended so FYI if you still want to invest go take a look, under the same nick as here on the forums.

Thanks for your time everyone and considerations! It really is appreciated to see there are helpful guys out there!

Well, my partner and CO Founder of our company Bitmagnet, is a very very strong believer in the mining aspect, and if one could provide him with a good ventilated cooled housing area with power he would go wild, he already has a fair amount of hashing power.

I think, putting aside shipping and import costs including the customs charges, if you could have the miners drop from helicopter into the data center today, and plug them in to work 24/7 then yes, I think it would be greatly profitable. Power cost and cost per kwh is low here yes compared to US/EU or whatever the case may be. My experience from speaking to other local guys and looking at numbers is this:

The purchase/shipment/import/customs cost of your miners from abroad to SA, completely destroys your ROI that you had planned, so the numbers looked good on paper, but then gets wiped out, you will eventually break even and then start profiting but at what risk and how long will that take?

Well im open to anything

I have responded to mesages and collateral not an issue have altcoins and physical stuff i.e lcd tv xbox one various that can be shipped or sold.

Time is running out

Thanks for the welcome

The question around mining and cost comes up allot, and some speculate its not great compared to ROI etc.. I think the very biggest issue is not the power cost per kw/h that will likely be cheaper than most, The x2 biggest contributing factors from my perspective are:

1. The cost to import the miners with customs etc... completely destroys the potential ROI that was planned, its insanely expensive and just throws the idea to the floor
2. Reliability of the power provided, our main Grid and power provider doesn't shout "reliability" so you will have black-outs and downtime, and since the investment required 24/7 upkeep and mining its just not worth it.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and positive comments, it is appreciated!

Will drop you a private message to discuss "collateral" items, surely not something discussed in the open if one is to go into a binding contract together to some extent.
