What do you bid for 5k TRC?

When do you think the price will crash?
Bitcoin only goes up; don't you know that?!

While I'm not interested in any of your gear right now, I have to say that this thread reminded me how cool ham is, and now I'm going to get certified So thanks for that

Already have another thread there. Thanks though.

Heh, okay. Consider this thread dead then

I have a number of bitcoins that have been mined, then sent to a few different addresses, but have never been involved in a purchase of any kind. For starters, here's this: http://blockchain.info/address/1removedI own this address, and will send the coins from it to an address you specify if you're willing to pay me a premium for these coins. A number of threads have shown up in the past, interest seemed pretty minimal so I'm not expecting much here Make an offer!

Hey all,
If you don't want the trouble of going through a third party exchange, we can make a deal!
I have 50btc available, selling for a non-negotiable $16 each for the rest of the night.
PM me if you're interested!
Thanks, Garrett

I think there is a business model there, but maybe not as a security. If you have the cash and wanted a 3D printer, buying one and leasing it out could make money. And of course the twist is that you can accept BTC as payment for items.
Yes that would be a much more simplistic approach, and if I don't start that business, I'd like to see someone do it!

I think this holds the record for fastest security failure! Anyways, I think you're right. It was fun while it lasted. Haha, I'd make the argument that it never really started Ahh well, failure is healthy, right?

Hey all,
After rereading this thread and thinking about whether this would work, I've concluded that while it would be a fun project, it would not succeed as a business, or as a security on an exchange like this. As some have pointed out: the profit margin simply isn't advantageous enough to produce enough revenue to make it worthwhile.
So, I am returning all funds to shareholders via a dividend scheduled for noon today. And I'll just eat the 5btc asset creation fee.
Thanks to everyone who supported this despite its rough start. I've learned from this that I should get a diverse opinion before jumping into something. I'll always be on the prowl for new projects and businesses!
Best, Garrett

Why in the heck do you folks think that? It's not either a neat idea or a great idea. It's not even an idea. It's fucking stupid, and that's all it is. This is the exact sort of nonsense GLBSE embodied, except it's a little late to the party. "Oh, there's this cool thing other people do, let's you buy me one of the retail items those other people market and we call it a company". What, maybe the cool of 3d printing brushes off on some random idiot that's not doing anything even vaguely related to it? (Yes dood, you're not "doing" 3d printing, you're doing GLBSE scamming, and six to eighteen months late to boot. 3d printing is just the angle, that's all. Yes, yes, I know, you didn't mean to. Guess what people who don't mean to do what they're doing are called.) Garr: start here. Apparently you've made 2000 posts for no benefit whatsoever, you're mentally below the average noob. Try reading 2000 posts instead, maybe that works better. "Soaring upwards" a horse's arse pfff. And if any of the BTCT "moderator"-idiots wish to explain yourselves, here's open mic. Start with "I approved this so called security because I am an idiot and I was confused by..." and fill in the blanks. What's next, a "security" to buy PMBs and "invest" the "dividends" into lottery tickets? A "security" to make clay mugs? Or let me guess, those were taken already. Heads, people. Heads are for thinking with. Try it sometime. Let's not be hypocritical. And does anyone agree with this guy? Regardless (assuming the answer is a "no"), a new plan is on its way Also, I spell out my projects very clearly, so investors/customers know exactly what they're getting into. I'm not forcing anyone to like it or me; I'm just generally polite and straight forward. Try it sometime.

Hey guys, I agree with most of the above. The business model definitely does need to be restructured, and since btc price keeps soaring upwards, the cost of printing via the current contract is definitely overpriced. I will post back later with a new business plan, which will include USD pricing for prints, and should turn this into more of a company
