[CLOSED] [AUCTION] KnC Mercury USA 1/25 Shares

[arthurdent6]

CANCELLED, ONLY TWO BIDS
Timer removed. End time: 2013-08-05+23:59:59

      

Sorry to those two people that had faith in me and bid, but I'd rather not manage such a small number of shares.  Consistent with the original terms I posted, I am accepting zero out of the two bids I received.  There are a few other Saturn/Jupiter group buys where you can get payouts of 4~5 Gh/s starting in October, I suggest you look there if you're interested.

[arthurdent6]

Contacted John K. to ask for identity and address verification via State ID / Passport / Mail.  This is what it looks like others have done to set up trust as group buy organizers.

I am also willing to use John K. or another trusted third party to verify that I own this order, and it is being shipped to my address.

Anyone else willing to provide the identity verification service for this group buy, please PM me.

when is delivery

[arthurdent6]

Delivery according to the company is October, and their recent update makes it seem like they might get them out sooner:

[stex2009]

- Each share entitles the owner to *exactly* 1/25th of the BTC proceeds from a KNC Mercury Miner mining 24/7 for 24 months*

What other fees are we looking at here?

[arthurdent6]

I'm not asking for any fees.  Electricity, cooling, maintenance, monitoring, all of that should be factored into the price that you bid.

Wish you the best of luck arthurdent6.

[arthurdent6]

Thanks! I was inspired by your success obviously, Mog. If I don't get any takers, I guess I'll have to take delivery of my miner and hope the BTC revenue makes up the initial expense and who knows? Maybe a lot more :-)

[stex2009]

No bids here? I am tempted!

[arthurdent6]

Not yet, stex...
I would like to start the countdown to the auction close when I get the first bid.  Does 2 weeks sound right?
The longer time passes, the more it adds value to know that the order is already in the delivery queue!

OFFERING DETAILS
- There are no fees on top of this because I will take the operational expenses out of the shares I keep for myself.


I am confused on the number of shares you are keeping. You are selling 25 shares at 4ghs each, right? or, is it less?

[dandannn]

I'm tempted!!

[stex2009]

Not sure. I am mainly watching here. I am in the US too, and can invest a couple BTC here and there where I see value.

[damiano]

Tell us how many of those 25 belong to you

[arthurdent6]

Tell us how many of those 25 belong to you

Hey damiano... The shares are each 4% of the miner (1/25, ~4Gh/s) no matter how many I keep.  All 25 belong to me as of right now because the miner is paid and my address is on the order.  But if you want to own a piece, just make me a reasonable offer 

My ideal outcome would be to keep 5 and sell 20 for around 80-100 USD (1.0-1.5 BTC) each.  BTC bids I will have to accept depending on the USD exchange rate since I paid for the miner in USD.  But I might not get interest for 20, I might only get bids for 10.  Or if the bidding goes way up for all 25 shares (wishful thinking maybe  ) I will sell all 25 and use the proceeds to upgrade the miner.

Sorry I missed this question.  Hopefully the comment I left above answers it.  The reason I can't say exactly how many I will keep is because I don't know exactly how many bids I will get.  If I only get a few bids I'll accept them and then I'll just have to keep all of the rest since no one is buying them.  Make sense?

[arthurdent6]

Will you accept USD bids for shares?

I can accept bids and PayPal payments in USD and convert to BTC if that's convenient.

If there's any dispute or reversal I will refund the money and cancel the shares and the payouts.  There will be a deadline on receiving payment so that the payment couldn't be reversed after the BTC payouts were sent.

[aoshea]

I bid 1 share at $80 USD via paypal.

[arthurdent6]

I bid 1 share at --- USD via paypal.

Thank you, aoshea, could you please send a PM and sign with your receiving BTC address?

I will start the countdown!
