Selling 15,000 BTC at $0.20/BTC

[NghtRppr]

bitcoin2cash,
I would like to buy 50,000 bitcoins at $0.04 each, but I can not agree to your terms. I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you may be legit, but I will not give you the benefit of my money.

If satoshi posted he wants to sell 50,000 coins at 0.04/each, I'd probably ship him cash and wait for coins.  (Although, this would open a whole new can of worms   )

Good luck with your business.

First of all, I wouldn't allow you to send me that much cash in one transaction. I would insist that we trade in smaller denominations. Why aren't you willing to make smaller trades at first and go up from there once we have established a relationship?

If I sent you $1.00 and you sent me 25 coins, would you then believe that I am trustworthy and start sending coins first, before I send cash payment? I don't think your business model will allow this.

No but you are welcome to buy $1.00 at a time until you are comfortable with $5.00 at a time and so on.

This is yet another sign of bad practice. Requesting people to do only smaller transactions creates even less value as the transaction costs (time, mailing, etc.) are way to high.

Stop bothering us with your improper business model.

The cost of a few extra stamps is outweighed by the risk associated with sending large amounts of cash in the mail.

Nobody is forcing you to read my posts. If I'm bothering you then stop reading.

Seriously S3052, if you don't like it or it bores you then do something else.

I'm going to give it a try when I get around to getting a stamp and envelope.

FreeMoney: fair point.
I only shared my concerns to protect others.
All: sorry if I go a bit too emotional

In this kind of transaction, the one who makes the "first step" is obviously the one who has the slowest reputation.  bitcoin2cash has a better reputation since is has a website, even trivial.  So if I'm not happy it would be easy for me to just say "bitcoin2cash is a scam".   Now, if I was Satoshi, I would easily convince bitcoin2cash to send bitcoins first.  Because my reputation would be superior to bitcoin2cash's reputation.

@bitcoin2cash:
Just find a way to use the private key of this address of yours to sign something and post it on your site. This would at least prove you own 50kBTC.

70,000 BTC has been sent to the address that bitcoin2cash posted. I don't have tools to see spends from an address, so I can't say what the current balance is.

Also, make a note that I posted that same address on these forums on July 13th so unless those transfers were before then, it's safe to say that I'm actually the owner of that address. So, can you verify the time frame that the transfers were sent?

You can also send them to the global developer's bitcoin verification address: 1PaUpJr6PEHjGxgL7YtwjsiGcAYqsZ8vD.

Coins won't actually transfer, only verification of the amounts.

Two transfers: block 80339 (12 days ago) and 82659 (1 day ago).

I sent some money via snailmail.  Will report to this thread if I do or do not get bitcoins in the next week or two.

I'm not worried about receiving coins at said rate for $1-$5. I'd like to buy a majority of offered coins w/o stuffing $100 bills into an envelope, and taking all the risk. Still, please keep us updated.

That's not a sign of a bad business model.  That is a sign of intent to build a trust relationship.  If he had asked someone to send more at a time, then I'd be suspicious.  Start with, say, $20.  At that level, the cost of the stamp is still favorable to paypal.  If you wish to save as much on the stamp as possible, consider doubling your cash with each transaction.  This way if this thing turns sour, there is no point at which either party could have done significant harm.  If you double until you get to an uncomfortable level, stop doubling; and this protects you from dishonest mailmen from doing significant harm.

I just sold $80 worth. There's 48,000 left with about 12,000 reserved.

i am .0605 bid on mtgox for 15,000 if anyone wants the arbitrage

Well, I'm not very good at those stuff, but isn't bitcoin2cash's bid a better deal ?

I mean, if I want to buy btc with 1$, with you I get 1./0.0605=16.53 BTC, when bitcoin2cash offers 25 BTC for the same dollar.  What do I get wrong ?
