Hello everyone,

I am closing the below offer, as I am well past my target amount. I'd like to thank all the buyers for hassle-free trades. I hope you all get good returns. Don't forget to test bitcointalk's new trust system on me.


Dear Forum Members,

I am planning to sell some of my ASICMiner shares at a fixed price to raise money for a Bitcoin related project. This is not an auction, so I'm submitting this to the Securities section. This thread is for questions and discussion, so please submit your bids directly to me via PM.

To refrain from stealing too much of friedcat's time, I want to incentivize bulk purchases. Below are the current rates, which are subject to change according to demand:

Code:

Above 75 shares: 2.6 BTC/share
Below 75 shares: 2.7 BTC/share
Below 25 shares: 3  BTC/share

I will be happy to negotiate for larger volumes that would help me close this sale quickly.

You can read about pros and cons of purchasing direct shares here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=188550

If you prefer to use an escrow, I would require the escrow to sign a contract. If you'd rather trade directly, I will send a signed contract to you, so that you can make a claim in case something happens to me during the process.

In either case, you will be agreeing to the contract by sending the sum to the unique address mentioned in it.

The transfer requests will be submitted to friedcat in weekly batches, but I will pass through any dividends that are paid for the shares from the time you make the full payment until the transfer is confirmed.

Thank you for your attention.

So I went to the customs office (in Malta) to get the merchandise I bought online with Bitcoin. They ask for a Paypal receipt (?!) or an invoice. I don't have either of them, but they say they'd accept a printout from the web site's order page. In a hurry I get a print out and hand it. They ask me what BTC is. I blabber something unintelligible to get it over with, but they go and check anyway. They tell me it's Bitcoin and the exchange rate is ~2.99. I pay my customs tax and get my box.

I'm pretty excited about this, and interested in others' similar experiences. Also, I don't know from which source they checked the exchange rate, so what do you think should be the authoritative source for government entities? Which generic sources publish BTC exchange rates?
