[RUN 2 CLOSED][SIDEHACK STICK]GekkoScience Compac Official sales thread

Ok, so the Coinbase route may not work very well. It appears that they would send the funds from their wallet, which means hat I/we don't have control of. It is possible to generate a signed message from any number of addresses in an account holders list but funds sent out, don't actually come from said address. I believe that its possible to get the resulting hash from the 'send' but distinguishing which addresses are unique to the Coinbase account holder's transaction request is not viable. The Coinbase rep suggested the receiver generate a unique address to receive  funds in for each individual payee, but that would be unfairly burdensome to sidehack. At this point I guess its a wait and see what Crazyguy does with his units.

You could always send to an intermediate address?  Generate one, send to that, sign message with it, pay to burger address?

Outbound tx from coinbase will come from an address that will be listed under your btc addresses and you can sign with it.

It's shortly after 3PM here in the Midwest USA (i.e. the CST time zone for sidehack).

Outbound tx from coinbase will come from an address that will be listed under your btc addresses and you can sign with it.

I asked the Rep about that and he said it won't neccesarily be the same since they will send the funds from their wallet.

They don't have knowledgeable reps all the time

Isn't part of the issue with "a wallet address you control" in case sidehack wants/needs to refund?  If he refunds, would coinbase be able to return it to actual "owner" of the Bitcoin (i.e. the correct account)?

[hurricandave]

I'm not sure about this case but when I purchased from Crazyguy, he had a Coinbase buton on his site and the transaction would provide me with a refund 'Labeled' address in my wallet for the transaction.
 

[schwab]

Oh man, just, just nevermind. Guess this happens when messages go unnoticed and not responded to.

[achtung082]

Which "exchange" do we use for the rate.

Signing from blockchain.info works.

[sidehack]

Oh, hey guys. So my friend picked a terrible day to need a ride to the hospital so I just got back to the shop a bit ago.

Requesting a signed message with the payment is intended to make it harder for someone to steal someone else's order. Since all transactions are going to a publicly known address, someone could email me the TXID of someone else's transaction and it'd make my job harder to prove where the coins actually came from.

Pretty sure I've signed messages from Coinbase addresses, so I know it's possible. I also know I'm slightly biased against using wallets operated by popular websites because I don't trust them not to screw me over, inadvertently or otherwise. So please forgive me if the payment process I've requested is easier to do if you handle your own money instead, because I believe it's inherently better. A different set of risks, sure, but a set of risks that you alone are responsible to manage.

I tend to use the Coinbase exchange rate, which I believe is a mirror of Bitstamp exchange rate? I'm not too picky as long as it's in the right ballpark, since the thing fluctuates anyway.

[achtung082]

Hey, sometimes you just cant wait. I've crashed my bike many time very unexpectedly and needed a ride to hospital Hope he is Ok.

I am going to let the BTC price settle a bit before sending, it just started moving down.

[sidehack]

Yeah, she's fine - or at least, getting that way. I'll swing back by this evening to check on her. By 5PM she was at least able to stand up straight and walk without assistance, which wasn't the case this morning.

Don't forget to include transaction IDs with your messages.

If you've sent in an order as of right now and you haven't gotten a confirm reply from me, something is wrong and I don't have your order.

[La_boutique_du_mineur]

If you're interested in bulk purchasing for a country or region not already covered, let me know soon and we can work something out.

hello,

Interesting for sale in France , in my website...
I have a little question. have u a warranty (30days - 3month - 1 year) for defective stick ?

thanks a lot , and sorry for my very bad english :/

[alh]

Yeah, I guess anyone wanting to drive to Missouri for pickup should pay the $25 per stick but not the shipping. And let me know in the message that you'll be picking up.

You never know, I hear that Cuba Missouri is a real hotbed of BTC mining.....

Oh yeah? Who do you know in Cuba? My uncle runs an aluminum die casting plant over there.

ordered 2 usb sticks...thanks for the service..they may never ROI but will keep me 'innoculated' against SAW (sudden asic withdrawl) when I
have to shut the last of my home miners off (also got a bitseed node v2 ..just got to have SOMETHING running in the bsmt even if impractical)

well at least this purchase has kept me off the REALLY HIGH PRICED pre-order stick I was on in 2013 and 2014

(hey I will take what progress I can get on my home asic miner addiction and subsequent withdrawal treatment)

anyway we appreciate the items (silly ROI that it may be)

[cavaliersrus]

Can't sign there or polo or most other exchanges.  You DO NOT control your btc unless they're in your wallet not some website.

[cavaliersrus]

is coinbase alright cause i cant download the bitcoin wallet cause i dont have the bandwidth at my house only 1.5meg dsl

when you send with coinbase do you put a message in the note section is that the signature ?
