His bars are quite legit.
I don't doubt they are legitimate as far as being Geiger products, or him delivering, my only concern is a buyer looking to buy pure silver. The OP himself replied to dialatedPixel: "apologies for the confusion, i have updated the original post. these bars are .999 graded pure silver from germany. they ship in heat sealed plastic and are supplied directly from the maker with serial number and uv black light protection." Is there something I am missing here in terms of semantics? Why did he apologize for the confusion if its not part copper nickel alloy? Sorry, but I am a bit confused.

Two questions:
1. What address information do you use for billing info when buying something online? Many websites will not let your order go through if it does not batch the billing address on file for the card. What about the name?
2. Your ad says it comes with a bank account. Is this a full fledged bank account with a routing and account number? Is this written on the card itself or how does that work.

100g of fine german silver with uv protection. i have tried to source an affordable and close to 1:1 ratio as possible for metal:btc. offer good while silver spot under 23us ounce and btc under 130us.
eu customers = 1btc shipping included rest of world =1.1btc shipping included
These 99.9% pure silver security line bars from Geiger Edelmetalle feature UV reflective coating, visible under black light. In south of Leipzig the Geiger Edelmetalle produces valuable bullion products in gold, silver, platinum, palladium and copper. The House of GEIGER offers a wide choice in bullion with the emblem of the GEIGER parent house as a valuable addition to a portfolio of commercially available investment products.
other geiger products available, pm for details but postage will vary.
You failed to address in the OP that "German Silver" is a Copper/Nickel alloy. It is worth much less than Silver, and yet you are quoting Silver spot prices. Either you are mistaken, and these are not German Silver, or this offer is extremely disingenuous to say the least. These are not "99.9%" pure Silver, they are 0% Silver. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel_silverIndeed, this seems to be an issue.

To spare you the trouble you are supposed to run a proprietary Metatrader 4 image of which you get no information what it contains. And Maria insists on giving you a step by step by step instruction of what you have to do, as if you were a Computer illiterate.
Interesting. Makes me wonder why not... every supplemental software to MT4 works without a proprietary image.... Makes me wonder if Maria will run off with my money and I will be left staring at an avatar of a girl that is obviously a stock photo off the internet.

Bitcoin mining, in it's current form is DEAD! BTC
Yes, the global bitcoin hash rate is now zero. *facepalm* If you read the countless threads on here, many people, not just myself, see a ridiculous trend of disappearing ROI. The question now becomes, not WHEN will you hit ROI, but IF you will hit ROI on new ASIC equipment. Now, that being said, I do have a hinkering to purchase shares in a GB (Group Buy) on a CoinTerra machine, but I do have a gut feeling about that specific machine and the manufacturing company following through and sticking to release dates. Prove me wrong, brothers, prove me wrong.

I would just mine for myself. Once you get into shares it pollutes the integrity of the whole thing IMO. But that's just me Take a picture of you wearing a mink coat, sitting in an ornate chair, next to your two TerraMiners, with a white cat in your lap holding a gold cup full or gems and diamonds, laughing at all the peons and common people. That is power my friend, that is real power.

Hi guys,
I want to invest this money into the Bitcoin world and preferably in my own hardware. I'm not interested in crappie USB sticks or home made rigs. I would consider shares.
Hardware: What can you recommend to a semi novice Shares: Legit, without being scammed?
I'm an IT engineer and this is fascinating..
In April 2012 I purchased a couple of FPGAs from Butterfly Labs, and they worked great! When I went to order more hardware in July 2012, ASICs were available for pre-order, and they had an upgrade offer for FPGA customers. So, I got the upgrades, thinking "BFL orders take two months to ship, which would make it September if I ordered more FPGAs, and the ASICs are 75x faster than the FPGAs -- what's another month for that much more hashing power?" My ASICs finally arrived about two weeks ago. The day after they shipped, I got an Email from BFL, advertising pre-orders for the 600 GH/s Monarch 28nm ASIC, with expected shipping date in December. Pfft! I'm with Scotty on Star Trek, "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Don't get me wrong, my ASICs will pay for themselves in about a month, but they could've paid for themselves in two days if BFL had met their shipping promises, and the last increase in difficulty was 34%--three days after I hooked up my ASICs. I went from earning ~1 BTC/day to 0.67 BTC/day, which is what my FPGAs were earning when I started. I did some research, and I discovered HashFast. They have a 400 GH/s 28nm ASIC that is supposed to ship in October, and it is backed by their Miner Protection Program, which means if your miners don't pay for themselves in 90 days, they'll ship you the hardware it would've taken, in addition to your original order, up to 2 TH/s. If the difficulty skyrockets, HashFast will cover you for up to 5x the hardware you purchased. None of the other vendors offer that, and the price is competitive with BFL. Plus, you can read about who is behind HashFast on their web-site, unlike BFL & others.... See if you can go in for shares on a HashFast miner. It seems to be the best deal available, right now. Interesting. Anyone else have some input? I am an ASIC naysayer myself, disgusted with the way the ASIC manufacturers have screwed their customers, but I must admit, you make HashFast sound prettttty appealing. LOL

I wrote a very long, detailed post on this but it got erased so I will just retype the important points:
This project should have conducted an ECONOMIC FEASABILITY study before anything. This project screams negligent at best, scam at worst.
Realistically a project like would cost between $20 and $80 million. It basically appears to me you are pocketing people's donation money knowing full well this project will never produce any results.
Your Indeigogo campaign raises $20,000 for an engineering study. Again, why wouldn't you do an economic feasibility study first? Who is the engineer? Again, more donation money going into private pockets under the ruse of this project being realistic and the lie it would ever being realized.
Your BlueSeed website looks like it was made in 5 minutes, honestly. You FAQ addresses mundane and arbitrary topics, and ignores anything relevant and important. Visas? Internet connection? Give me a break!
It's obvious this is a money grab for naive Bitcoiners money.
UPDATE: I read some more. It seems you have gone from your own ship, to chartering a cruise ship. This is unrealistic. Now what I read centers around bleeding overseas tech companies money, renting them a room on the cruise ship, based on the fact they couldn't get a visa and come to the mainland! What a crock!

$110+ per GH/s is bad value, even the BFL products from April were $50 per GH/s or less. The developers of the thumb would have known this in advance before they started the project. The current market expects $20-25 per GH/s to break even. What people forget is that Bitfury 55nm chip based miners have to get a positive ROI within 6mths or they will start making a loss at current BTC prices, the cost of electricity will be higher than the BTC they produce. Punching the numbers into the http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ calculator tells me at 2.1BTC the unit will make a loss of around $160, which is more than half it's purchase price. In order to make a profit BTC/USD would have to rise to over $300. In which case it would be better to just hold onto your 2.1 BTCThe unit which costs you 2.1BTC will only return 1BTC before it can't cover the electricity price, therefore it should be priced at 1 BTC or less. How many hundreds of articles do we need to see showing that the math just doesn't make sense. Bitcoin mining, in it's current form is DEAD! BTC
