[Group Buy] 1 Metabank Bitfury with hosting in the US [ORDERING CLOSED]
June 02, 2013, 07:47:26 PM
  #1
SHARES REMAINING 0/10 @ 11.33 AM CENTRAL TIME, MONDAY 6/3/2013

This group buy is intended to let less Bitcoin fortunate forum members take part in the opportunity to purchase cheap hash-rate through the recently launched Metabank Bitfury. The bitfury (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223656.0) is available with US shipping through this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223656.0 (from several reputable forum members located in Moscow, offering purchase and shipping to the US).

I have structured the purchase so that members wanting to get access to the exceptionally cheap hash rate/GH that the bitfury offers can take secure has rate from one of the machines without spending the full BTC30 for a purchase.

Offering:

- 10 shares of BTC3 are available.
- Each share entitles the owner to 1/12th of the BTC proceeds from a Bitfury mining 24/7 for 24 months, payment will be made to the address of the share-holder weekly, bi-weekly or monthly (I am flexible here)
- The 2 outstanding shares will be owned by OP as payment for power/maintenance of the miner and peripheral hardware needed (UPS, possible router etc).
- After 24 months the miner will be considered 'spent' and become the property of OP (this is for reason of simplicity mostly, since I believe BTC difficulty in 2 years will essentially render the miner a warm paper weight). IF hash rate increases VERY quickly and I feel that the share holders can make more money selling the ASIC before the 24 months are up I reserve the right to take a vote among share holders (majority rules) on doing so.

IN CASE OF NON DELIVERY: I take no responsibility for the possibility that Metabank does not deliver the miner. I have done what I consider a thorough due diligence but as we all know, you can never 100% guarantee anything when it comes to pre-orders.

If I have forgotten anything or you require more info etc. Please feel free to ask/post in this thread. I will only be doing this ONE group buy as I do not wish to run multiple miners as chances are I would not have time to look after them properly.

EDIT: In the interest of time I have removed the Escrow part of this group purchase and will be making the purchase directly through my own address. I have done many deals in the past without negative feedback and BTC30 certainly not a sum I think anyone would assume that I would trade a scammer tag for.


If you are interested in buying one or more shares here is what you need to do:

1. Send payment to the following address:   19eHNL7pJmRwqPGQSXukxAAivEJdiWNyNw
2. Send me a PM stating your sending address and BTC amount sent. One share = BTC3
3. Post your share purchase here to make it easier for visitors to see when a share is claimed. I will also update this post with remaining shares every 20 minutes or so.

After payment has been received for all 10 shares I will do the following:

1. Contact Bitcentury (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=223656.0) and make payment for the miner.
2. Contact all share buyers with confirmation of purchase, a copy of receipt/confirmation from BitCentury for the purchase and a screenshot of the transaction.
3. I will also supply buyers with my physical address and a possibly slightly redacted scan of my passport if requested. I will ask share holders to keep this information confidential.

EDIT: IF all shares are sold but the Bitfury miner sells out before we have time to place a first batch order I will refund any share holders their bitcoin - 5% for transaction fees and oranization of the group buy. I hope this seems like a fair solution should this happen.

Edit; I am going to bed. Any orders placed in the next 8 hours will be confirmed at approx 9 am Central time. Please post in thread when ordering so that possible new orders do not pay for shares that are not available. If this still happens I will refund BTC to sending addresses within 24 hours.

Edit; I have 1 share that I am 'holding' for a buyer for up to 2 more hours. If this share is not payed for I will re-open the sale. I am also negotiating with Bitcentury reg. the price of the Miner. They stated BTC30 last night but have since raised the price to BTC2 no doubt due to the drop in BTC price. I have confidence we can still order the miner at the original BTC30 and should they not honor the original price I will personally cover the BTC2 additional and take a vote among share holders on how to solve this. No need to worry though, I can assure you I am easy to work with and want to see this miner delivered on schedule and start mining.

I will post a new update in roughly 2 hours, at which time I also hope to be able to send final verification of everyone's shares and order the miner.


Edit; I have decided to pick up the last share of the auction for myself at this point to be able to place the order asap. I am now only waiting for email verification of the price of the miner and I will place the order.


Edit; Order has been placed! More info coming shortly via PM.

Edit; Ok, I have gotten email confirmation on our order from BitCentury. They will send out contracts 'in a few hours' and I will distribute copies + other 'proof' of our ownership. Heading to late lunch!

Edit;

Here is the full list of Share holders and transactions. From now on, if you wish to change your payout address for BTC mined or anything else I will require requests as signed messages using your verified address. This is for your protection:

Shares 10, 11, and 12 are owned by OP (TheSwede75)
Report to moderator  

 looking for a small amount of usb sticks to buy  and the 1 replacement  usb stick owed to me.

maybe 13 plus 1  in a small flat rate
 
or 19 plus 1.   in a padded flat rate.

Since the shipping label for either buy would be low cost. I can't see sending a label for just one replacement stick.  only the post office makes out that way.LOL

  So if you have usb sticks in the next buy let us know.    thanks phil

so now we wait.  how many did you order?

 350 or 440 you had 2 sets of numbers. paid for and waiting payment.  I anxiously await my 20 sticks.


the 26 to the 10th is 14 days,  I am hoping for the 10th or a little bit earlier

thats why I have red/blue in my ebay ad

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151130985862&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

so do you have a working stick to show?

  I would pay 42-43 for the upgrade

  roi is not negative , if you are buying sticks on ebay using ebucks .  ebucks are locked to your ebay account and must only be spent buying an ebay item.  buying a stick on ebay for 20 dollars and using 15 in ebucks along with 5 cash is a case of smart buying.

So these sticks still sell on ebay.  thus a reseller can buy 20 or 30 in a group buy.  sell 25 on ebay and get 5 free sticks for themselves. the ebay buyers are also happy since they can spend an ebuck or two on a piece of electronics that makes cash for them.  buying coin is not easy.  buying a few sticks on ebay is easy.

 these sticks will continue to sell  until these new sticks sell at a low cost as an in hand item.



 

the new bigger better sticks are:

 a) costly  160 on ebay vs 20
 b) pre order  at least 2 week wait

So if they can sell them like canary sold the AM sticks then the AM sticks will die.  until that happens AM sticks still work for people if purchased for the correct reasons and in the correct ways.

 I believe canary said after the 24th not on the 24th. I am waiting on a replacement block eruptor  and I am going to order 19 more.

I have done well with him. I did buy about 300 sticks from him I sold 200 and kept 100 to mine. This dead stick is the second one out of the 300 I got. Pretty good and I suspect that both dead one would have worked with linux. But I am all windows 7 in my setup.

 It looks like the new super usb sticks are moving along.  based on the photos it looks like  you can alternate usb sticks so a 10 hub would be 5x .333 + 5x 2.5  that is pretty good .

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296301.0





 

 


they are big but a super size then an am then a super size may allow for 10 on a 10 port hub.

hashes at 2.5gh see below

red hot

i have a question where will these be built and are the chips in hand.


i had a piece of these very small piece.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=226846.240


  are not these the same chips? should we be asking for refunds and closing down our ebay listings. the deal in the thread above is dead. refunds are to be issued. so does this mean our preorder is dead?

 okay looks like this deal is dead. when you get a chance please pm about refunds.

I think he said fri or sat coming up.

 okay sounds good.  I will have 4 coins on thur the 26th,   thank you.

update on the new red/blue fury asic sticks.. I ordered 20 of them.


https://blockchain.info/tx/93a776f26b9208a82a1145ba13b87bad19034b6f22f71210630d2d720a0d1dd4  

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296301.0;all



 I am  not going to sell them until I get them.

 I did do a smaller  pre order listing  (4 of them) on ebay to get an idea of pricing.

 I plan to sell some here at a better price then the ebay listing.  

I think I am going to also order from this group buy.  Maybe 10 of them but they come about 20 days later.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=291456.0


  I am a bit nervous since I have a lot of coin up in the air right now. (30-40 coins) which is just about all my profits.

oh my bfl orders are still waiting waiting waiting.



edit:
this is the direct seller looks like he will have them direct via a bulk sale  in oct.


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=299295.0

I decided to buy from you and from ssinc.  spread the risk.

I will send in 4 btc on thur. the 26th this would be  for 10  fully assembled sticks all parts  provided by you.   

 you would then come up with final pricing on the 3rd of oct correct. and since sticks may be as high as .6 btc I could owe 2btc more? 

  If I have it correct please confirm.  thanks.   phil
