Confirming the transaction has completed and the coin was sold to Aria42 for 1.35btc.

Thanks to minerjones for brokering this deal. For posterity, the offers on this coin ranged from 1.15 at the lowest to 1.52 at the highest. Offers that were higher than the sell price obviously did not pan out and I attribute that to the recent run up in BTC/USD while this coin was on offer. Thanks to everyone for their interest.

Confirming that there is a pending deal with Aria42 - minerjones will reach out to you for next steps.

I've changed my messaging settings, if you're making an offer ensure that you've done the same so that I can contact you regarding your offers.

Looks like the coin is back up for sale, I'm taking offers again.

Thanks to everyone who has pm'd me offers I can't respond to everyone because of the limits on my account but I am trying! As in the edit on the top, the coin is pending a sale. If you'd like to pm an offer still you can but it would only be entertained if this tentative sale falls though. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm located in Canada.

I'm bad at dates, I've put new provenance images up in the gallery with the correct dates.

Offers have fallen through for the moment, looking for new offers.

I'm looking for offers on this coin. Aiming for around 1.5 btc. I bought this coin from klondike_bar on this forum in 2014 and have had it in storage ever since.

minerjones has agreed to be escrow if there is a sale.

Thanks

I have for sale a 2013 a 1 BTC silver Casascius coin. It has the gold gilt on the BTC symbol. The coin is in an airtite container and is ungraded. As far as I know it has never been removed from that container and there is no obvious toning/scratches/fingerprints on its surface.

The coin was purchased second hand from Klondike_Bar in this thread

I am asking 1.7 btc for this coin.

Buyer to pay escrow/shipping fees from escrow. I will cover shipping to the escrow agent. If you do not require escrow (pay first) I would cover the shipping directly to you.

Bought one coin from klondike_bar, very responsive, shipped pretty much same day I sent the BTC. Coin came as described and well packaged.

I would buy from him again in the future without hesitation.

btc-e trolls are not as well spoken - it would be more like "arise chikun" and "ppc to da moon in an hour" or perhaps "ltc is such a beast it just ate nmc and had babies with trc"

Walsoraj seems pretty legit I just sold all of my coins.

Thanks for saving me.

I've just been "cashing out" by buying metals (mostly gold) with bitpay. You can then sell the metals over the counter to a local coin shop for cash. If you do a couple coins at a time they don't usually even care who you are.

But they can't be traced...

Burn all the Bitcoins!

Somebody post a meme, quick!

Your main enemy here is going to be when you put those 7970 beside each other. I would almost say you would need a water block at least on the middle card or else you're going to have them start throttling due to heat. I have two of them in one case and side by side the top card would max out at 97 and the bottom at 92 once I put a space between them they both I was getting 88 and 86 for temps. This was without over clocking.

I like this calculator http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/

as it is pretty accurate even though it was not designed to give profit for a pps pool. Just put in the cost of your mining hardware and your hash rate.

If you think about it though adding to your mining portfolio just gets easier with asic once its fully adopted. For instance if you wanted to get into mining right now you could do about 2gh/s with about $1600 of brand new hardware and a lot of power being used but even at current prices for asic (from the BFL Jalapenos that are being shipped) its about $50 per gh/s with a huge power draw improvement.

Like was said before the market will find a balance, but nothing will really change as the barrier to entry would be the sameish in my opinion. If the goal is to get into mining asap though you can't really go wrong with making a gpu rig and switching to litecoin. You'd probably make your money back within 6 months unless the wheels fall off.

But I'm new what do I know.

I had fun. It's like an amusement park up in here.

Ooh a necro thread!
