I understand. I have small amounts of alt coins, not totaling anywhere near 2 BTC. It's a challenge in it's self coming up with sensible collateral to offer online.

I have an ASIC miner that runs between 55-60Ghs that I'm wanting to rent out. I'll accept BTC only.

Would be good for someone just starting out or someone looking to add on to their own hash rate.
At BTC Guild this miner brings in ~$20 (.02) per day.

Can mine any SHA256 coin. ASC, DEM, FFC, BTC, etc.

Price and duration is open to negotiations.

I'd like to request a 2 BTC Loan.


My loan request page can found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=419254.0

Me and a group of friends and colleagues have gotten together to create 2 types of physical Bitcoin cards. One being a MasterCard and one being just a SmartCard wallet for up to 10 crypto currencies. Can read some about it here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=418912.0

We've been approved for the Netspend partner program to issue our MasterCards under them. The problem with that is, it took our entire $5,000 budget to secure this partnership with Netspend. We need close to approx $1500 to secure our deal with ASC for a large bulk order of their ACR38U PocketMate that will be provided with our card.

We are serious and expect serious replies only. We are based in the USA (Missouri) and can talk over the phone if needed.
We mine BTC and are estimating our next 5 BTC payout around the end of Feb or very early March. Our deal with ASC is good for 2 weeks starting this past Monday, the 13th.

If we can't find the funding to secure the card readers so cheap we'll have to raise prices of the cards. We're trying to keep cost down to a minimum.

We can offer the loaner full repayment + your interest rate along with 50 cards.

I know some ask for collateral, I just can't think of what I have that you'd want. The title to my mini van? Don't laugh, we have 4 kids. :-)
I also have an MSDN account with access to all the new M$ software. Can hook someone up with Windows 8, 8.1 Server, anything M$ has really. All legit. Can do TeamViewer session to log into my MSDN account and get the keys/iso.

I also have a Windows Azure account with virtually unlimited usage. I could scale up servers, sql, windows, linux, cloud storage containers, VPNs, etc.

I have lowered the asking BTC to 1. I understand there is a lot of risk in this.

I will also be willing to accept smaller amounts in trade for Azure or MSDN services.

I also offered development as well. It my seem elementary to those of us that take those things for granted, but for someone with little to no experience they don't ever consider those variables. Some people think you can Throw a service up on GoDaddy and it'll be ok. I've seen several projects announced on here that were hosted with shared hosting on GoDaddy or Dreamhost or HostGator that were both insecure and slow.

 I'd like to offer my support with this project. I can offer dedicated servers, ssl and domain name. I can also pitch in with development. I agree we need a service like this. I'm available on Skype: artw1982 if you're interested in talking about it.

Our team is still working out a fee schedule, however I'm pretty sure it's safe to say only a 1% fee will be incurred for the conversion.

You will have two options to handle how the BTC is used.

You can chose to send BTC and covert it to USD immediately. If you do not have a USD balance on the card you will be able to use up to 99% of your BTC for a real-time transaction.

If you care to know how that works I can explain briefly. The card company we are partnered with allows us to set an overdraft allowance per card. We are setting the overdraft amounts every 15 minutes equal to 99% of the USD value of your BTC. The transaction see's there's not enough money to cover the transactions, ask for an overdraft value. During the overdraft call we transfer the USD to the card and with the callback we tell the transaction to "try again". When it tries again, there will be a positive value and it will process as normal. After the transaction is completed the overdraft value is reset once again. This allows for real-time conversion and lower fees for everyone.

@geri. We are partnered with Netspend, who offers great deals for people wanting to start their own line of prepaid credit cards. Netspend is licensed with MasterCard International. Therefor, so are we.

Short Explanation

The idea of the card is to allow people to exchange their Bitcoin for USD funds that will instantly appear on their CoinCollab Card. Though we’re pushing Bitcoin, you can still load funds at almost any major retail store or gas station using USD. CoinCollab is a fresh start-up and doesn’t have the funds of a major card provider. There will be Bitcoin limit restrictions. Below shows an estimated reload value with todays current BTC value. ($856.00) The max per day value that can be loaded in either cash or BTC is $3,000 USD with total max card value of $5,000.

1-100 card users - Max BTC Load 0.1 BTC/Day
101-500 card users - Max BTC Load 0.5 BTC/Day
500-1000 card users - Max BTC Load 1.0 BTC/Day
1001 + Card users - Max BTC Load 3.5 BTC/Day

Each card comes with a USB SmartCard Reader. This reader will be used to interact with your secure private keys to create transactions online or offline. For advanced users software will be provided to allow you to add up to 8 other public/private key pairs to the SmartChip for safe offline storage. These key pairs are not limited to Bitcoin. The software will also allow you to create secure encrypted offline backups of your SmartChip data in the event of a damaged or lost/stolen card. Using your security code the card can easily be replaced and your SmartCard data restored. CoinCollab will be shipping with the ACR38U PocketMate.

If you purchased a Non MasterCard version you can store up to 10 Crypto Currency key pairs on the SmartChip for safe offline storage. During checkout you can specify up to 10 Crypto Currencies to be included.

A QR Code of the public address is on the back of the card that enables you to collect funds off of friends or customers.

CoinCollab stores ONLY the PUBLIC Bitcoin address with customers name and address in the case of a lost card being returned. The Bitcoin key pairs are generated using an offline computer and are only stored in memory until the card printer reports a successful job.

Will be accepting pre-orders soon. We're looking for serious feedback.

We're also offering a bounty for any new card designs.

Anyone know where I can get a set of crypto icons for all the major currencies?

They would only enter the code one time to associate their workers with the machine.

Do you have a specific flavor of Linux you're wanting to use?

The problem with a live cd that doesn't write to disk would be configuring your pool workers each boot therefore not allowing 0 config. There could be a web interface that accepted the pool/worker credentials and inject a config file into the ISO before providing a download link. Allow the custom iso to be available for about 5 hours before deleting it to save on storage fees.

Another alternative would be to allow users to sign-up on your site, generate a unique hardware ID on first boot where the user would enter this on your site to associate your account with the mining pc.  They would then be able to add workers on your site and on boot the software would auto check for the unique id and download the worker data. That'd be the best method IMO.

What kind of bounty are we talking about? I could do this Ubuntu or Debian.

I like the idea of showing the coins like that. I'll post an update to my code Monday.

The hardest part of supporting all the coins is the process of creating the keys. Each coin uses a different alg. I'll streamline and initially release supporting the top 10 or so coins. 

I posted a video

Reserved for Q/A

I've seen a ton of post come up about a wallet that can handle all coins, but nobody is producing any results. Here is a short demo video of my upcoming project. In this video you can see the creation of both Bitcoin and Litecoin addresses.

Request payments by SMS(free), Email and QR Code.
Send Payments
Handle Private Keys
Encrypt Wallet or just certain keys
Destroy addresses (Will confirm and then ask if you want any balance swept to a new or existing address)

Some features that aren't demoed but will be there are

Cloud backup (to your own Google Drive, DropBox, FTP, etc)
QR Code Scanner through webcam.
Exchange rate monitor and alerts.

You can view the short demo here.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz_YYcE0B4E

I'll eventually throw this on github.

Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Donations also accepted and appreciated :-)

You have no SSL and you are running the site off of a shared hosting account with GoDaddy. That in itself is VERY insecure, not to mention, slow. 2.066 other sites use your shared IP. Think that's secure? I personally wouldn't touch this.

When was the last block found, last payout paid?

I could print these professionally if you can come up with at least 2 more designs.

I was editing my post as you replied. The QR will hold a partial raw transaction. When you scan the QR the mobile app will get the unspent transactions and finish the push into the network.
