1OZ SILVER MAPLE LEAF / CHECK BEST PRICE IN OP

[rpietila]

Maple is going for .744 right now. I used to check bitcoinity.org the first thing in the morning, now I check my own thread for the direction of bitcoin price. Thanks again, John!

Is there any other products you would like to order except this?

I am currently working on an automanual ordering mechanism, which would enable locking-in 24/7. I am a great fan of simplicity, so I am currently thinking along these lines:

- I want to order and rpietila is not online.
- I PM him and tell how many silver coins I want and what is the current price, and where to send the coins
- I pay to his public address
* what is the best way currently in bitcoin, to send a "message" of about 10 bits, which could be used to earmark the transaction? *
- I receive the coins.

One way would be to have the sender sign a message with the private key of the origin address.

How many % can do this? I cannot 

I was more like thinking: "take a random number 1-999 and PM it to me before you pay. Add that number of satoshi to your transaction to prove you sent it".

Well, it's quite easy especially if you use Electrum or Armory. There's this sign message tab if I'm not wrong in QT too. Yep, your method above should work too I guess.

We are proud to announce the new 24/7 instant order option for amounts up to 100 One Ounce Canada Silver Maple Leaf Coins.

For BTC.738, Maple is as cheap as it gets. Delivery in EU only BTC.500 for unlimited quantities, except over 500 pieces it is free 

I will likely buy from you as soon as I like the market conditions and your price is still as competitive as it is now. I hope you'll have "VAT free quota" to germany left at that point.

How big is it? I am greatly afraid that Germany will be the first country to fill its quota. For obvious reasons 

Btw. do you like the fixed s/h fee? I know it will be a little different based on country, but this way there is no guessing, the risk is on me, and I can serve also smaller orders as they don't yield a loss.

Since you've ordered a Casascius 1 BTC Coin from me (thanks) you obviously know I'm going the same route with the shipping being flat-rate.

Of course it's even more complicated in your case since you can't just stuff the coins into a letter. But even I had like 12 different shipping options (differing by destination, weight, insurance) in one of my earlier sales-threads so the approach you take makes a lot of sense, I like it... both as a buyer and as a seller.

I'm glad I don't have quite such a large problem with bitcoin price fluctiations since my supplier (Casascius) charges BTC, not USD, so fluctuation only affects the shipping cost, not the product. It looks like you have a workable solution for that problem now and I congratulate you on that.

4. You PM me first your name and address and the total amount of coins, the total price, and your message in satoshi. How? The message is a number from 111 to 999, which you decide, and add to the sum in satoshi. Eg. You want to order 25 coins at the price of BTC0.724. You calculate your amount payable as follows: 25*0.724 + 0.500 + message*0.00000001. Assuming your message is 337, this evaluates: 18.1 + .5 + .00000337 = 18.60000337. This is of paramount importance, as this is the way how I will be able to connect you to the incoming funds.

This is not such a bad "hack" until we have a working pay-to-contract scheme that produces a way for the buyer to prove payment for a specific order while still allowing the merchants wallet to be offline.

Thank you for showing trust to my procedures. I'm trying my best to make it as straightforward as possible, yet retain some redundancy to make it possible to solve error modes.

Yeah, you guessed it right. I intend not to spend from this wallet until I have to. The next goal is BTC1000. The private key has not been shown to the network yet, it is split in half and stored in paper form in two different safes, so the funds should be secured from illegitimate access.

You can't ship to Norway? we don't have VAT tax on silver coins so should be possible I think.
If not, Sweden works? ( sorry if this is obvious, I don't live in Sweden)

I don't ship to Norway, (even though it is entirely your problem how to deal with your VAT that does exist for sure).

Yes, I can ship to Sweden.

What's a cooler deal than buying silver at spot price with no VAT using Bitcoin? Seriously can't think of much.

Just had to do it and ordered 3. A great offer.

No, sorry. EU only. (Of course I can but I don't want to, coinabul got into trouble because of it..)

[randomguy7]

I gave it a try, too (3 coins).

I can't get over the fact that 1 Casascius = 2 Silver Eagles. It's amazing. I didn't think we'd get there this quickly.

Can't wait for 1 Casascius = 1 gold ounce
