Wait a few more days and you'll be taking $100 for it, from the looks of it. The hell is happening to these prices?
I'll keep a watch on this. Sounds tempting, but not so sure I can pony up the BTC at the moment. Awfully tempting, though.
Planned discount for purchasing multiples?

Do you really think i'm gonna take a sealed box without checking its contents first ?  I never buy anything locally without examining it first and making sure it's fully working and in good condition so no pixies for me, thanks...  Sure, you might, but a lot of people are more naive, just take the thing and walk off. But testing the thing is dangerous as well. You are meeting a stranger, and have to go together to his gaff or your gaff to test the thing, its not like you can test it in the park  Sure you can. Raspberry Pi and USB battery pack. Never leave home without 'em. |

Escrow can be used
I offered the 2.3, OP did not want escrow.
Need I say more? |

Contemplating selling my pre-order of my Prospero X-3. Trying to see what people will value these at, and whether it'll be better for me to hold onto it or sell this bad boy. Would clearly use escrow, and have Black Arrow facilitate the order transfer themselves if I did decide to sell.
If I choose to sell it, I'll open a different thread, but for now... what would you all be willing to pay for this bad boy?

The part that has me laughing the most is the fact that, after someone even mentioned escrow, he hasn't returned to look at any of these offers.

You can get plenty of these which are in stock for 2 BTC, shipped. And next week, the price will drop even more. No power supply and wifi dongle in the world are worth over $600. Especially not used.

How does escrow work, And what is your offer.
Basically... Bitcoins are sent to a trusted third party, device gets shipped and upon receipt and verification, the bitcoins are then transferred to you. Depends on the service used how things are set up and whether a fee is involved or not. Whether you'd be willing to do escrow or not, I may be interested in this as well. |

Wouldn't trust this. No trust, no pictures, no shipping location, no talk of escrow. Not saying it's a scam or anything, but... be careful.

Yes, indeed. .029
Now shush.

Added proof of current hash rate, just incase anyone doubts my ability to repay the loan on time. Currently ~240GH/sec, moving to 420GH as soon as I can afford an AntMiner. This loan is to do exactly that - be able to afford an AntMiner.
And before anyone mentions ghash.io and their soon-to-be 51% ownership... I know, I know.

Price of hardware dropped a bit plus less required due to mining with currently available hardware. Asking for BTC1.1 to be repaid with ten percent interest.
Still worth a shot, I suppose.

Well, as I figured, this received no bites. I assume this is purely due to lack of collateral? I honestly don't see what else the issue could be.
In the off chance that the issue is lack of proof of hashing power to return the payment with, one could simply check the bitcoin mining address listed in my signature.I could also take pictures of the devices doing the mining if that would be requested. I also plan on posting the proof of purchase for the AntMiner I plan on ordering with the assistance of this loan the moment it gets placed.
If if is the plan for providing a return, as stated in the opening post, I'm more than willing to discuss this with the person making the loan.
ACTUAL estimated payback time is in two weeks. I was hoping to get this loan before the next difficulty increase to make payback even quicker.
You don't need a loan, you need patience. You just have 13 days to wait before you get the 1.4 BTC.  Antminers might even be cheaper, by then! You know as well as I do that when it comes to bitcoins, patience doesn't provide much of a reward when it comes to mining. I only have 230GHash right now, so I'm not sure how you figure 14 days. More like a month and a half. Besides, by then the difficulty would have increased twice, putting me right back at where I am now as far as earnings are concerned with the purchase. The point is to get ahead, not maintain what I have. I do have a 2TH Black Arrow ordered, but by the time THAT ships, 2TH will likely be the equivalent of mining with 2GH these days. :p |

There's some Reddit posts about some users who've investigated the Alpha Tech company by going there in person to Manchester, and based on what I've read, it appears to be a scam. But time will tell.
I highly doubt Coindesk would report on a scam, firstly. Secondly, usually scams take in as much money as they can scam. Alpha sold out in a few days and havent listed anymore. Either that, or they're "smart" scam artists and decided to make it look more believable by having a fake pre-order sell out for added credibility. Well that would almost be as dumb as your post...jealousy is a stinky cologne khan Not jealous at all, really. As it stands, you end up spending more mining any scrypt currency for minimal returns as compared to bitcoin, which is where most of my efforts lie. Alpha Technologies has enough proven evidence about them to suggest that they are indeed running a typical hardware scam. Anyone with fifteen minutes and a sixth grade reading competency level could easily see this for themselves. Unfortunately, it seems that some people on this forum are incapable of reading for even five minutes to make an intelligent decision of their own. Your optimism here is nothing but blind faith, and the fact that you're willing to resort to petty insults to convey your opinion proves that you have nothing worth contributing to the conversation. If, by some miracle, they decide to deliver hardware sometime within the next few months, then I'll admit that I, along with countless others who agree, are wrong. Until then, you might want to actually open your eyes a bit. If you're that willing to defend a fictitious company with more than just a few proven lies under their belt, that's your choice... but when they don't deliver, and you're sitting there with your jaw to the floor, you must excuse me if all I can do is smile at your misfortune. |
