Why is anyone against doing this? Don't you realize that this type of transaction is done all the time with mining pools, gambling sites, etc? It's not a script. It's a command built into the bitcoind protocol / API. Not only is it faster (eliminating doing each one individually), it also applies the mining fee to the one transaction (for everything) and not to each individual transaction. It's easier for John, cheaper for us, and faster for everyone.

There's no script. See here for sendmany: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list

To aid you in the transaction, I have created the transaction that will take your data and require one small change to execute it. In column F, insert this formula and then drag it down to copy it to the rest of the rows that have addresses / amounts:

Then somewhere else (doesn't really matter where - I put it in G2), put this:

Using those two in a copy of your spreadsheet, I generated this:

The only thing to do to run it after that is to remove the comma before the closed curly bracket at the end (red, bold, and underlined). This is because it was a copied formula for the rest of the cells above it that contain the comma. Of course you can change the minconfirm (the 1 at the end) and the comment for the transaction.

Here's the code version with the unnecessary comma removed:

I assume you'll be doing a sendmany transaction, John?

And Ben, I realize that anyone could fill out my form. This is why I wanted John to double check it in the end but it, like your form, got things a bit more organized. It didn't quite make it to generating a sendmany transaction from the results (which is what I wanted to accomplish), but between the two of us I would like to think it made John's job just a little bit easier.

Anyway, let me know if I can do anything else to push this along. One good thing has come of this whole ordeal - we know who has their heads up their asses and have found some more people who weren't known before who can actually pull some things together and may be good people to transact / work with in the future.

One should always assume the admin can see what you store. I'm surprised that people are worried about this aspect when in reality the fact that in a large majority of cases they store significant amounts of crypto on the site in a shared wallet. What do you care more about - that he can see your stupid "hunter2" password or that he could, at any time, jank your funds? There has to be a certain level of trust at some point. If you don't trust him or mcxnow, go elsewhere. I hear there are some Russians that are pretty trustworthy with these kinds of things.

Just paid for 5 shares. Order #257.

Since that is an automated order system, do you need any additional information from me in this thread?

Ultimately what I was hoping to achieve in my endeavors was to come out of this with a sendmany transaction that included the amounts and recipient addresses. This way John could simply look at the command, reconcile it with his info to ensure it is correct in amounts and recipients, and have it all done in one transaction rather than having to labor with sending them all to different people manually (and paying transaction fees for them all). I don't recall the sendmany syntax but I remember it being fairly straightforward.

A hybrid method might be to do that but to also sign it with John K's public key too found here

Thanks for keeping things moving, Ben. I've been traveling a LOT for work lately. This coupled with bitcointalk going offline resulted in my return just today. I appreciate you doing the reconciliation of addresses and I will be sending you a PM shortly with my address for you to verify and cross reference.

Just saw this thread. I'm interested.

I realize it took me a while but hopefully the wait was worth it. I'm not 100% happy with all of them but I think they're overall fairly decent. Here's the link to the album:

Swede said they're exploring bitfunder and that's what it looks like but we've heard nothing (that I know of anyway) from bitfunder on whether it's going to be allowed and what the method of transfer would be.

I can say this though: there's no way in hell I'm transferring my shares to any of the labcoin team at this point for transfer on btct. If a transfer happens, it needs to be through a trusted third party entity like Ukyo or burnside (or a collab between them) or perhaps as direct shares as an interim to bitfunder.

It's not mtmlr it's mtrlt. Interesting post nonetheless.

Selling. Yeah, I wasn't quite clear on that. Sorry.

Still entertaining bulk sales offers (I'm selling). Is that 1 LTC per 1m TIX offer still live? I'll match that - or make me an offer via PM. 1 million TIX minimum though.

A link would be nice...

Are you suggesting that Bitfunder doesn't meet those standards? I'm not saying I prefer one over the other (I have holdings on both) but I'd just like to understand all the options and variables.

Did you fill out my form? I believe bigbeninlondon is using this to build his refund tracker spreadsheet. I have also PM'd John with the applicable spreadsheets and form results to help streamline this whole process.

Here is the form for refund / chip transfer tracking:

ryepdx,
You mentioned you were going to create a new thread for gauging interest in Gen 2 chips for the boards & components that have already been ordered and / or received. I didn't see any though. Any way to get on board with that? Without question I would back / trust you as a group buy organizer (of course would prefer on-hand stock rather than pre-order). Any info?

I will honor the same price.

No, I understand and have taken this into account when creating the backend spreadsheets (yes, there are multiple). What I can't promise, however, is that John will use it / them. Ultimately it will be he who resolves all of this in the way he deems proper / correct.
