It's quite likely that's the guy
I went through all his posts on the cloned forum and I don't think he intended initially to do any scamming otherwise he wouldn't have divulged so much information

Just took advantage of the situation when it arose...

To be honest I don't even care about the coins

If in the unlikely event that the coins get returned I will donate them all to charity

Would be happy just to see a scammer brought to justice

It would seem it's lost in the system

The PM with his address has been deleted and there would also be concerns about personal information

Don't know the T&C's of the forum but if a moderator could restore btcminor01's PM's the information would be right there for the taking!

You can't sell other people's details.. do you know what that's called

Identity theft.... and the penalties for this are not light.

I care because it's unethical to even consider something like this..
But you get pillars of the community like Mr Negative Trust legendster who thinks things like these are fine

Another interesting development

He bought units in a group buy on the forums from an active member
Might be able to shed some light on his location

Look here

Can we get any data from his Video?
Probably unedited straight from his Iphone

Got them!

The thread has been archived here... with all the pictures and videos intact

Now to try and extract the data

Don't do the harass friends thing..

But I was thinking he uploaded some photo's on here he would have taken with his phone (possibly)
If we can track down those pictures on the internet (man I wish i remember where he uploaded them to) they may contain the geotag data of where he took them

If he took them with a device with location data on it will tell us pretty much exactly where his house was..

Now to get the archives on this post somehow and get the links to the pictures..

100% uptime should be the red flag to move on

Just out of interest what is your backup plan for 100% uptime if a Solar Flare hits the earth next week?

Out of interest why are you so eager to sell everything?

There is a reason why you sign up for a Bank Account with your name and details..

Not only is this unethical but I'm pretty sure it's illegal
If you don't take this advertisement down I will alert Suncorp to it's existence and they investigate if required

It was a hypothetical situation.. you can stare at any ball for those.. doesn't need to be crystal.

Don't get me wrong I wish the best and I hope it does succeed..

But if you think there is more "risk" involved than there would be to pay for a device 4 months in advance, with a currency that is highly volatile is a market that will become highly competitve
Than it would be to wait it out for a few extra months and evaluate the landscape on the back of offers like these.. and I'm talking from a single customers perspective
Then I would have to disagree with you on that..

I won't intrude on this thread any further though

It's quite clear you don't understand either my direct question or my hypothetical situation...

Moving on though I still feel like this is a valid concern
I would love to see one of these set up in a similar form as you would run a Kickstarter project.

Sure you need capital for the start up costs but do you require the full payment of the unit so far in advance.
Just very basically without breaking down the numbers you could have certain levels of investment that count towards the FINAL price of the miners .. whatever that may be

You could have "minimum" levels for guaranteed orders and after that on a first come first serve basis

If done correctly I think that would a lot fairer than the way it is now

Have you used it for more than 4 days?
What's the procedure to unlock it? Is there any fee for doing so?

Thanks,

Today is 18th June.. and the BTC price is currently $1200

As this time I can see that 500 pre orders have now been filled so there is 600 left..

How much can I get a SP30 for?

I would wait another month if I could get 2 units instead of 1 for the same price as if I would pay now..

I'm not trying to rain on the parade but just look at the last 4 months of Bitcoin prices..

It's gone up and down like a yo yo and who's to say there isn't a few big investors ready to buy into the market to inflate the price up

2 months in the price jumps up to $1000 per BTC and people start saying well I spent 9BTC where as now I can get two..
They have the capability to deliver up to 700 1100 units by the end of August otherwise they wouldn't have set that target..
If these prices now can't attract the amount of volume they want to have by August then what will?

Are people in 2 months going to pay half the BTC the early adopters paid?

Just curious

I have a question

Between now and delivery what is the policy on any unforeseen price changes?

If it goes up or down will people that have pre purchased get the difference back or have to make the difference up?

Thanks,

Still a chance that it may not be compatible...

For the risk I could offer 550BTC equiv shipped to Australia with Escrow

I know its a bit low but if it doesn't work I have to go through the hassle of reselling it again

See what other offers you get locally first though

Would this be locked to the T-Mobile network?

As in probably wouldn't work in Australia?
