^^ wow. nice link! Ty

Indeed a rough start..

LocalTill are the ones who do the transaction for bitfloor.com or localTil is who i sent money too @ bofa.. So when there was trouble bitfloor just pointed to them..

anyway thanks so much for the best wishes man i need it. Im sure it ill look at this as a lesson well learned after i can put my heart back together.



By the way..  thanks for the tip.. im not sure what to do .. i may eat the $250 or if i can convince my other two friends too take a bitcoin ride.. for a bit!! haha then i may just end up buy $6k in BTC and sitting!


Please do tell about the other fee-less or cheap way to get USD to bitcoin!

I had no plans to store it but if i pull it out to my bank account via direct deposit it will look like i made 6k$$ and get hit for capital gains taxes at the end of the year!!

Im not even gonna ponder on that right now(lol) but please do tell!!
My wallet is at blockchain.info .. i dunno if that matters.
 

Hey there... its a tough one. if everyone in this community experienced what i experienced the last few days there would be no bitcoin. Sentiment grows and gathers steam from the reflection of our interactions and it ripples fast ..  


Tho somehow im leaning to locaTilt screwing it up..

Sometimes its not in anyone's control ..

You can learn a lot about company's and the people behind them in the way they interact with people ... Sometimes a small window is all you need and you get the jist of what youre dealing with ..

if you would have read the plea i sent localTilt in the email for support and how i would loose an opportunity of a lifetime since my funds were not made available shortly after deposit..

( you would think one would reply with some sort of explanation or an apology for my "experience" even if there was no fault on their behalf... anything except "Youre account has been credited"!)


Really??? thats the best you got, a one line email! At least bitfloor responded in seconds after my email went out with instructions on how to contact LocalTilt and steps to take!!
 
I wouldnt want what happened to me to happen to anyone!! not even the trolls.. I think we owe it to each other to make sure we fair out ok but my views arent shared by everyone..

User CoinHoarder recommended me to bitfloor and he did so with good intentions. Even now i dont feel bitfloor or Lotaltilt has wronged me per say.. but the reflections of our interactions will speaks volumes long after this is said and done.




 Thats said, what i have lost is the opportunity.. an opportunity i may never get back! I say that because i am a true believer in you are what you eat and you are who you hang around and youre part of who you support!!


I wont support BFL, SONY, GODADDY and a long list of other dead beats and their company's because of UN-erasable reflections of horrific interactions they have left behind like a trail of bad karma thats continually chasing them down like dirty dogs!!



So i guess thats the worst part. EVEN IF BFL WAS AVAILABLE AT WALMART IMMEDIATELY ! Im stubbornly conscious and unless the stock @ avalon became available at $6k right now ...i wont be getting an ASIC MINER!!!
( & from the looks of it i got a better chance of it raining dollars bills right now)

 








Cheers
 

Hey Herodes!!!

 You shouldnt have even bothered ..if you have to explain to him that someone could have possibly lurked the forums for quite some time before even signing up then maybe he has more to work out than you were imagining!!

Nonetheless im pretty thick skinned, so its not a prob..


I appreciate youre welcome wagon alot! Tho my dreams of grabbing an avalon has been shattered i plan contribute to this forum and this community.


My funds showed up this morning and i have received an email from both bitfloor and localtill letting me know my account was credited!

Bitfloor was very responsive to support emails and  the reply from localtill was not till this morning .. their email just said our records indicate the account was credited.


If i had to blame a finger i would point at local till because i talked to bitfloor yesterday.. I think localTill was done for the day so their hands may have been tied.. they opted for a one line email response on how the account was credited..(this morning) Maybe it was a BoFA error.. who knows! I got no apologies or explanations.


------------------

Anyway the end result was me loosing $250!

The part that sucked the worst.. When i purchased the BTC or i thought i did! I paid $6150 in CASH at a local BOFA !!
 So $5900 USD was deposited in my account.. Because of the fee for local till! If i would made a purchase then it would have been justified as the cost of purchase.


But now i realize that bitfloor is a trading platform and i BOUGHT nothing!!
All that happened was my account got credited $5900 this morning!!! 12hrs after order!


I bought 0 BTC!!!! I had went to sleep thinking I had actually bought BTC $5900 worth!!! So last night i was telling myself at least the price of BTC went up .. so i thought we made $$$.. price went up by 11$ per BTC woohoo!! But wait! NOT SO FAST!!

After a quick dialog with bitfloor! I know understanding bitfloor is a trading platform ... ALL the has happened is my account was "credited" the $5900 USD and the $250 was the fee for localtill!

So i just found out i have not made the few hundred dollars from the purchase of what i thought was $5900 worth of  BTC @ 77$.

All i have is an account credited with $5900 with the "ability" to purchase BTC now at the new rate (as of this morning) of $88!!!


So not only did i not profit from the bitcoin jump last night!! im just out a $250 fee for moving $5900 to bitfloor, and of course no AVALON ASIC MINER
     

 
I got to $6k with a couple people so we calculated the risk of the Avalon and determined it was acceptable gamble...but this i did not foresee.


I think its important that we share our experiences, as the sum of those sentiments is what fuels bitcoin and its ecosystem. I think thats what yufi had in mind when they decided to go only BTC for the AVALON purchase!  Fuel the bitcoin economy and bring positive sentiment and confidence in bitcoin and its surrounding partners, patrons and investors a like.



I now have the daunting task of reporting to my two friends our current situation. I shall be of heavy heart today!

I hope someone reading this benefits from my experience.


Thanks Herodes for just being yourself!  



Best Regard,
Zedicus

Right so youre in a thread about missing one just by chance!?

Man ive been through it..
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159340.0

I tried everything .. The whole experience has been painfull.. Guess you can only try your best.. with my luck ill wake up with bitcoin @ 55$

Hey thanks for the response im not sure what bitcoin-otc is but i jut googled it.. Something ill look into in the future..

 i image its like i-trader. I have a rep on a car forum from selling car parts and we use such a system to give each other points after successful sell or transactions..


Unfortunately im a bit new around here and i havent really even dialoged with to many people ... let alone make friends.




Man, i cant impose on anyone like that.. tho Im a standup guy...


Just saying you would even consider it is big in my book! Thanks for putting it out there..

i dugg deep for the $6k tho ..    so i dont have a remote chance in hell of getting another ...  



The only reason im trying to keep myself up is if i can make it awake till 5-6am, it will be 9am in NY! Hoping someone reads my support plea!

 ( and ) if there is still stock ...  



Remote chance in hell basically.. but gotta try...

***********************************************************
Edit >>> and it looks done! From the last comment
I maybe officially heartbroke.

 

Hey thanks for the response .. i just had the heart to check.. price of BTC just went up too , usually thats a good thing but even if i got the btc now we are down a few hundred    

  I followed the instructions to the letter.. double, triple checked account number.. and info and amount.. i cant imagine what went wrong .. Im bit disappointed.


 

Ive had a really tough one but that made my day..  Team Avalon has kneed these dudes where the sun dont shine andi cant even say they are re-grouping! Their mouth is open but nothing is coming out!

Hey it wasnt your fault .. it was mine for sure.. You didnt put a gun to my head!!!

I looked at a bunch including bitinstant and just went with bitfloor.com since there was a bofa nearby.


i dont even know what happened.. I got put through the paces tho through the whole thing in terms of trying to come up with the loot and getting it in one account and the, anticipation and anxiety of making the cut in terms of availability... and the eventual heartbreak.

 Im afraid i have missed out on the legendary Avalon asic miner(AA#3). Luckily my group was only two other people. We teamed up to get 75BTC
Its a tough one to swallow but sometime it is what it is.. & doesnt always have to be something or someone to blame, but if theres anyone to blame its me.


Im just gonna have to wait till tomorrow to receive the BTC i guess.. and then ill have to chaulk the (fee%) 2-3% or whatever the fee was for $6k..
 as a loss when i convert back to USD to give folks their funds back.

Before i tried this i had pleaded with yufi to make an exception for wire transfer but no luck.. so my cards are played out even if i had another $6k which i dont!! haha..

I was hoping to get some feedback here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159340.0 but i guess that part of the forum doesnt get to much traffic.. I tried to delete it, since at this point ive bout given up.. dont even wanna look at the stock.

 Just hope tomorrow i can wrap up this ordeal.. Im in Cali so NYC is three hours ahead of me. When i come too from my comma i hopefully have chewed through some business hours and will have heard from them.
 
what can i say .. ya win some ya loose some and today i lost..

They are inexcusable .. they just hosed down then entire BFL brand with fecal matter.. its gonna a hard road of return and gripes and cancellations and spitting, cursing and possibly a vacation to an undisclosed location!

to be honest the biggest part is the "dialog"


The silence breeds a certain kind of doubt!! When i say breed! Terrible ideas start forming in people head and it gets to riot level and BFL splurts out a lie and the anxiety gets worse, rinse and repeat every month and ... (ouch) ..  

 Edit: and too be quite frank the adverts everywhere.. not just here but everywhere is just a spit in the face of all the investors (cough*)customers!

Im broken hearted ... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159340.0




Re guarding AVALON! They deserve it .. blistering fast support, first in the world , and they actually delivered!!!!! Look @ how they dialog with people .. i talked to him earlier about an exception for a wire transfer, and support was blistering FAST! Nice guy... humble in his tone  ...

23yr old kicks big company square in the nuts and they just sat their like a lil girl!
( i vote for him ) & i tried to vote with $$$$ but... ( thats how it goes sometime)


They should be proud, both of them! I went through hell and high water trying to get $6k  Finally i thought it was in the bag but the..

It wasnt for the whole deposit issue....   If it wasnt for that i would be a proud owner of an AVALON ASIC MINER!  
 

Hey all ,

Im a bit devastated.. i went through hell and high water for days organizing a group purchase of an AVALON ASIC MINER and after finally gathering $6000, I used  bitfloor.com to deposit cash at BofA. I followed the direction to the letter and its been 4 hours! I contacted support and they said to contact LocalTill, LLC with my receipt and email which i have. Bitfloor support was actually pretty fast in response.. So no complaints there..


Our AVALON purchase hangs in the balance and ultimately no purchase tonight probably mean no purchase at all!

I realize LocalTill, LLC is in NY so im predicting a no return of my email until business hours tomorrow in which case i have made the error of a lifetime by choosing bitfloor.com & LocalTill, LLC and we are have lost our only opportunity to buy an ASIC MINER at this critical time.
(EDIT> on hind sight i cant even point a finger i dunno what happened ! Guess tomorrow ill here from localtill! Maybe im just unlucky bearer or a glitch! ) 

What is everyone else's experience?? is there a possibility that the order suddenly comes through tonight.  The count on the AVALONS are low..

I had the bank teller read the account number twice to me and it was all filled out right. We got the receipt and it matches the deposit email which i emailed to LocalTill, LLC..


No much left for me to do .. but ive been up for what seems like days and if theres a remote chance in hell that somehow the system is backed up or .. i dunno!! Somebody tell me youve been through this!?


 Im just looking for peoples experience so i can better determine if i should get some sleep.


Maybe there is a LocalTill, LLC Rep here ? (probably a long shot)









I dont even know what im gonna say to the people who were counting on me to make this happen!






Thanks for the ear.. Hope to hear from you out there.

Guess a broken heart will be the least of my worries at that point.. I dunno why i gave myself the impression bitfloor would be good to go in 30 min! I thought i had it in the bag.. Such is life ..

 Thanks for your help regardless, i wouldnt have gotten this far without it... guess a small chance is better than none.

You dont think bitfloor will come thru tonight?... so i can buy one on my own..
 I put down 75BTC in USD!   

Thanks for easing my worries! I hope i make it in time..  
 

Hey CoinHoarder! I managed to make a cash deposit at bitfloor ..(ran down to a bofa) its been an hour and nothing.
I got my receipt with the exact amount and all that good stuff.. i followed instruction to the T.

Should i be worried , i read it was supposed to be instant or 30 min or whats you experience!?

Thanks ill look right now! If it works out for me ill send some btc your way!

Hey Coinhoarder.. 

You got any advise for someone who needs needs to convert USD to BTC! like now !
I need 75BTC! I got USD in cash @bank!

Good luck on you farm!!!

Hey thanks for the link ill take a look! But i think time is against me!

I thought the whole time the $ would be my biggest hurdle... Im in denial right now.. Wonder how many other people in the same boat.

I completely understand wanting to help the bitcoin economy and all but if we can prove funds they should hold our cart for us while we jump hoops!!

or something..  Just didnt think i would be in this position so im a bit besides myself...






You think they would make an exception? Accept a wire transfer from a US bank!?
