ASICMINER AUCTION 2000 sahres.

[El Cabron]

Yes, Goat will need to prove his stake of the shares involved either via friedcat's statement or otherwise to have this risk transferred to the buyer.

Fantastic, 31.5 BTC sent for 75 shares at 0.42 BTC. Tip sent your way too.

I prepared this reply when I paid, long before the stream of following replies and had to try twice again to make it go through.

John has the coins because I trust him. I'm willing to trust Goat given he has publicly stated that he will provide proof to John if needed. Goat: I understand rewording a contract is not trivial, but given that I pointed out a loophole and that you value your reputation I think this would be in your best interest to close the loophole by explicitly accepting Johnthedong arbitration on this (this is why we use escrow services after all).

This is why we have contracts. A post in the forum can not change a contract. I do not need to prove anything but I will do so willingly to keep my reputation in the highly unlikely event freidcat can not be contacted.

Thank you for your understanding.

[ghostshirt]

I've just made a payment of 21.50 BTC to the given address.

[El Cabron]

Thank you, I will check the address tomorrow and make a note of everyone who has been recored as paying.

Good night!

[Vezunchik]

300 @ 0.42

300 @ 0.42 + 100 @ 0.43

Can't understand what does it means:
100 @ 0.41 # 103
300 @ 0.42 # 106
100 @ 0.43 # 106.1

OR
100 @ 0.41 # 103
100 @ 0.43 # 106

I think first - there is now word "update" or rise... But anyway - I can't understand how Chaang Noi (Goat) made his table of winners. Where is my mistake? What means 63 about me and so?

[wachtwoord]

The BTC is not released before the shares get sent to me (and sent to the buyers), unless friedcat goes MIA, or Goat does not receive the shares for some reason.( and is able to prove that conclusively) Friedcat's default is a risk to the buyers, much like the risk incurred when one buy BFL or another ASIC's preorder spot.

It's 12AM here, so there might be some flaws in my reasoning though.

I'm OK with a default from Friedcat. What I'm worried about is that friedcat seems quite busy these days and I don't know him well enough to know if he will be around to confirm that Goat really has 2000+ shares before April the 19th. Currently I only have Goat's word that he owns the shares. You use escrow when you think you can't afford to trust the other party. Escrow isn't any good for me if there's a situation (friedcat not answering until April the 19th) where Goat can sell me shares he never owned.

But you said :

or Goat does not receive the shares for some reason.( and is able to prove that conclusively)

This imply that if friedcat disappears before having acknowledged publicly that Goat's share are real, Goat won't be able to prove anything about his shares and I'll get my BTC back. If we agree on that then there's no problem.

In fact when biding I thought there was an existing confirmation from friedcat somewhere:

Friedcat knows about this auction and my shares have been confirmed.

If there really is one confirmation somewhere I can read then there is no problem.

I have the confirmation in e-mail. I guess the question is do you trust me enough and how long do you think it will take Friedcat.   Honestly I would rather not sell the shares than to risk it sitting in escrow forever. You do not have to buy. You can walk away and no one will judge you.

Honestly I do not mind keeping the shares and if I wanted to sell them to someone else I'm sure I can find a buyer.

However I will publish my e-mails if Friedcat is hit by a bus and I will give access to John to my g-mail account so he can see them first hand. This should be pretty solid I would think.

Thanks.

Also from the OP

Friedcat knows about this auction and my shares have been confirmed. I will give him a list of who now holds the current shares and I hope he will automatically send them to you when they are listed on the exchange. If not, I will have to send them to you myself.

Okay I am posting here publicly instead of via PM because I think this might apply to everyone. The contract as it is now implies that if you never owned the shares to begin with, John should still release the shares to you. Of course I cannot agree with that.

There are two solutions of which I prefer E1:

E1) Get Friedcat to confirm you own he shares and can sell ownership here
E2) Amend the contract so it states that before John can release the coins to you E1 must have occurred. Further, if you cannot provide either the shares or E1 before 19th April, the deal is void and John is to send the coins back to me (the buyer).

I do not mind assuming the risk of ASICMINER going bust (e.g. Friedcat going AWOL), as this is the normal result of becoming a shareholder. I do object to the possibility of the proceeds for the shares being paid out without you either (i) sending the shares or (ii) proving you actually own the shares.

I hope this will not cause any issues

[ThickAsThieves]

Vezunchik, now you are confusing me. Can an independent party parse this thread for the correct final winners? Or is Goat just going to settle discrepancies with extra shares to sell?

I've already sold some assets to free up the coins for my 100 shares, and would like to make sure I'm not wasting my time and some margin.

[Vezunchik]

Instead of asking questions, tell me what rows or order in my table are wrong. And Goat must answer - mot me.

If anyone finds a mistake please tell me specifically what that is and I will try to deal with that fairly.

Thank you.

@Watchwoord

I do agree with your points and were I to start over I would have included something like the e-mail being sent to John in the contract. However I am not going to redo the contract and most people have no issue with it. There is no punishment for backing out of the auction and I do not mind. I 100% understand where you are coming from.

Thank you.

Okay, I'm willing to forward my confirmation e-mail (Oct 24th) to John now as long has be will agree to a short NDA and basically can only say that YES or NO the shares were confirmed.

I will PM a request for his e-email.

I have obtained the forwarded mail from Chaang Noi, and yes, the shares are confirmed on the email.

[El Cabron]

The OP says you must pay within 24 hours. However I will extend this to when I wake up in the morning. That will be around 8:00 AM Thailand time. (in about 19 hours)

If I can not see the coin by then, you no longer have a claim.


Also IRC #1 turned out to be a troll so if anyone is interested in 750 shares please let me know.

Thank you.

Wow 2000 shares huh?

No wonder you wanted to thread-jack.

So what's going to happen if you never receive those ASICminer shares?

I'm sure you're planning on refunding all these nice people right?

So what exactly is different from your scam than mine?

Because some guy confirmed an email?!?

I'd have NO PROBLEM doing that.  After all, that is some kind of escrow!

I have very good reason to suspect you will not receive the shares. My recommendation is that everyone should use escrow unless they trust the buyer very highly. Having someone look at an e-mail is NOT escrow.

Thank you and please everyone trade safe use trusted escrow!

Oh, and I have several eBay accounts with over 1000 positives, dating back to 1997 that I would happily verify are mine should anyone request such proof.

Now, what is your plan should you not receive those 2000 shares?

Oh and you live in Thailand right?

I live in the USA.

Which country do you think would enforce accountability for a bitcoin-related scam?

Right because you want to do a $100,800 trade WITHOUT escrow

Go scam someone else.
