Hi,
After being a bit of a dick about the potential legitimacy of Bitdials I decided to put my money where my mouth is with the hope I could post a nice review after receiving my watch.
I appreciate I could be asking you this directly but I thought it might be of interest to the community.
The watch I am interested in is more expensive by a four figure amount with Bitdials than with my preferred AD. Are Bitdials happy to price match within reason on a watch or is this simply a reflection of the cost of operating with BTC payments?
All the best,
Dan

George, don't you think it would be a good idea to ask the paper wallet provider to either remove Spreadcoin from their site or modify the generator to work properly?
For what its worth, I wouldn't really call this a rookie error. Its more of a case of a usually reliable service that is mis configured for your project.

Hi all,
First time poster, Im thinking of getting some crown to run a masternode.
If you are going to run a tron, do you need a static IP address? Or could I run it from my eth mining pc which is switched 24/7 but the address is presumably not static.
Assuming you can follow the instructions to convert 10k crown into a tron within your wallet, how difficult is it to transfer it to a hosting service?
Dash has the masternode shares option route, is this something the crown team might look into, for those of us who cant outlay $11700 straight out for a node?
Thank you for your help.
Hi, Nothing will stop you running on a dynamic IP however every time the IP changes, your Tron would break and you'd have to wait four days or so to get back on the payment queue. For the sake of $5 per month, we highly recommend setting up a VPS to host your Tron. If only to save on long term hassle. Dan |

Any one can help here:
1. I downloaded the wallet and run it and it has gone thru last 10 hrs sync up the network.
2. now I see the status is 0 hours behind
But the bar still shows message synchronising network......
and the wallet and also the network on top also show out of sync.
Any step I am missing?
FYI, I started using CPU to mine and it is producing some SPR as immature now, so the mining seems ok. Not sure what else is missing on the sync part.
I did not encrypt the wallet yet
not to piss on your parade...but with current difficulty, my cpu miner will find a block on average every 6 months. are you sure your cpu actually mined a block? if so, you are either extremely lucky ,have a very powerful cpu or both. i have no idea, i just want the wallet up for testing my other gpu so while waiting I run my CPU which is a NB i7. and I see this at my out of sync wallet: 177.944535 SPR Immature. What does this mean?? both my wallet and network still shows as out of sync. but the mining seems to produce the SPR and is increasing... adding: it is so unreal.. it is 180+ now.. with $1/spr, this is $180??? how can i believe this.. am I dreaming or super super lucky?? as a newbie so dont know how this work. i just run the inbuilt miner for CPU. But the Balance and unconfirm all shows 0 WTF.... my wallet sync now suddenly back to 143 weeks behind from 0 hours! and all my immature coin all GONE and reset to ZERO!!! is SPR mining platform seems very very fishy and can change things just at their own wish!!??? so all my mining time are just doing them the free service! and they pocket all those SPR.. OMG!! BAD BAD BAD...... Er, just sounds like you're having wallet connection problems tbh. Many people have been mining SPR for years with no problems, I suspect that the problem is at your end. |

793 days since Georgem took over this project.
One wallet release in this time.
pretty sad yeah no new wallet, georgem awol on this thread for awhile, but tbh, with price up from 2k sat at beginning of 2017 to current 56k sat, who's complaining? purely because of helium. The second after the snapshot people will dump like crazy unless georgem gives them a reason to stay Rest assured he won't. Even if he does actually have a pending release up his sleeve, you can bet he'll be selling whatever SPR he holds July 29th-31st, or maybe he'll get his HLM and dump, but he will re-buy dirt cheap in the ashes of SPR's crater the first week or two of August before telling anybody about his progress. That's a pretty big if though, he spends more time cutting acrylic and installing shit on Pis than he does writing code from what I've seen. His published SPR address was cleared out to Bittrex ages ago. OF course, that doesn't necessarily mean he sold it. I wonder if Georgem is still spreading conspiracy theories behind my back that I was luring people away from here to my current project? The reality was that HLM was in the pipeline so he was wrong on all fronts. |

Interesting project.
Can I stake without having a masternode?
Thanks
Chronos nodes are currently being worked on. These new impotent nodes will allow staking. Expect more info as the day's fly by impotent?! |

The bottom line is that Bitdials can prove me wrong quite easily.
They indeed can, by ordering one, paying one, receiving one and apologize. I told twice in this topic i have received two Rolex, authorized them by a watchmaker and they are proven real. If that isn't proof, how can they do that through the internet except for the method i told you just yet? If you are really afraid to buy one, just fiat your btc and go to an AD. Somebody saying something on the internet isn't proof of anything! Also, I believe that Bitdials has offered your services as an escrow provider to somebody on here. I am a very suspicious person I agree, but that doesn't sound very impartial to me. |

When I'm proven wrong I will apologise for anything I have said that was incorrect.
Do you use a third party escrow service for watches you have in stock?

Bill is head of Bittrex. He said he asked his people and they had no idea. Not sure what else to say... this don't look good
PM me if you want to sell your SPR. Looking to buy another 20k. SAME Me too. I'll take all you've got. I've got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you too LOL. Helium supporters believe everything... Your half arsed fudding has had a nice effect on price. Keep it up. |

Did you miss the screenshot of the conversation between Coins101 and Bittrex? I'm fairly sure it was posted only a few messages away from where you took that screenshot from... |

I dont know if you guys have bought from rolex or an AD or Grey handler.
I have, my experience is that the warranty is fully covered. And the warranty card should be stated with the name from the AD, Date, Serienumber.
And you will get your 5-year warranty.
Remember not to buy a watch with no stamp/printed on date AD or removed serienumber. That will have effect on your resell if you want to do it in
the future.
The warranty will start when the AD has taken their watch from Rolex, it will be stated in the card which date it was. Also Rolex Have documents that
which AD they sold it to but no name owners. So name owners on the card does not matter! You can even put anonymous or empty field.
Since most people that buy a pre owned Rolex dont want a stranger name on their card.
It does not matter which AD rolex sold it to or if the AD sold it to a grey handler, in the end they will fulfill their end if you require service on
their promise 5-year warranty.
I have not encounter any problems on fixing my rolex from a grey handler that bought from AD supplier.
Tho I have not yet bought from BitDials.
Absolutely true! As long there is a serial number, AD name and date on the card - it's activated with Rolex and the warranty of 5 years starts with the date on the card. Everything else are rumors... So, to recap: Bitdials are not an authorised Rolex AD. Bitdials purchase surplus stock from authorised Rolex ADs that are provided with a warranty card stamped by the AD and not bitdials. You should really consider putting this information on your web site, along with guarantees that the original warranty still stands. To be fair, of the thirty or so Rolex that I have, I have had no warranty related issues although most of mine are vintage. You should also consider providing your company name and street address. Your operations comes across as extremely shady as it stands. |

Just to follow on, what if your warranty card isn't stamped by an authorised and official Rolex AD?
The answer is that your watch isn't under warranty.
Now, given that you can save a lot of money by buying a watch like this, many people don't care.
However, I think it is important to for people to understand the difference between buying from an AD and a grey market supplier.

Hi stonehenge,
it's not correct.
Firstly, official dealers are getting Rolex from the factory with a 35-38% discount.
With some skills & longterm contacts it's possible to get a part of the above mentioned discounts on own purchases from AD's, especially on bulk purchases.
The second part of your question is better to answer with an opposite question.
How would you explain the existence and the huge volume on absolutely new and unworn watches on:
Chrono24, or online shops like Chronext, Horando, Montredo, Luxurybazaar all others around the world?
;-)
P.S. By the way we have not only Rolex.
P.P.S. We need to think about to raise our prices to retails, as most of the concerns are focused on it )))
Cheers,
André

A pertinent post by a contact of mine: The profit margin is 40%. One other thing though is Rolex requires their dealers to spend 5% of their wholesale volume on advertising every year. So if a dealer bought 500000 from Rolex, they must spend $25,000. I beleive most people who know about retailing would agree that this is not a large or profitable markup. If a store has a 50% markup on an item in Retail, after employees salary, rent, taxes, utitilities, other inventory that doesnt sell, etc, the retailer nets about 6% in profit. So if they sell 1,000,000, they make $60,000 when its all over!! Contrary to most peoples opinions, most jewelers do not operate on a triple profit markup. I believe mall chains do this on low end items, but from my understanding on higher end goods such as diamonds, a jeweler can only make 10%. So its all about volume. Also, no Rolex jeweler is getting full price every time. So in the end they probally gross 30% over cost. When you factor the expenses I mentioned above, its a net of 4 or 5%
Its my understanding from my dealer, who is a friend,that selling Rolex in itself is not hugely profitable. They make money, but it doesn't get you rich. It does, however, bring prestige to the store, traffic, customers who end up buying other items, etc. Its also a "safe" inventory investment. If a jeweler went out of business, they would be lucky to get 10 cents on the dollar for most of their jewelery that didn't sell. They can put a 25% sign on Rolex and sell every watch. So even though Rolex makes them put alot in inventory, its money in the bank.
High volume dealers do not get better pricing, but as stated, a better share of rare models. And in answer to your question of how there are unworn Rolex for sale at a discount online, it is because they are grey market watches offered by ADs with too much stock. Some grey market Rolex, whilst authentic, come with their serial numbers removed and Rolex warranty invalid. I appreciate this is only some, but the grey market can be quite grey. |

Perhaps my usual Rolex ADs have a vested interest in saying otherwise. |
