Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

More about me, your GB coordinator / Bitcoin Miner Admin, here's excerpts from questions I answered via PM: Hello <name redacted>,
Thank you for the questions! I appreciate any & all questions as I know how scary the marketplace is, having been scammed by bad people. 
John K. from John K. Escrow has vetted my ID and has done a quick background check.
1. I live on Kauai. I've lived here for about more then half my life.
2. I have *some* experience in mining. I've only done CPU/GPU mining, and mining on a Jalapeno (which I quickly resold for about 350+% profit. I'm relatively new to BTC mining having only become seriously interested in it in June and doing my first pre-order with BFL in early July. I am *not* new to IT as my first PC I used was a TRS-80, and I learned how to program in BASIC on a Commodore 64, one of the first mass produced home PCs. I've also designed/installed/supervised the installation of copper/fiber computer networks for 3 different world class R&D labs on 2 different islands that are all currently in use. I included pics of the first R&D Lab (my first big network install) in the first post.
3. If you decide to sell your share, please PM myself & John K. [ user: John (John K.) ] a short note explaining that your transferring your share to Person X using BTC Talk username XXXX.
4. It will be housed in a world class colocation facility. I'm in talks with several. I won't reveal publicly yet who's "winning." It will be one of them that has Tier III or IV near 100% network uptime/availability
5. I have and currently do tons of remote access work to corp. resources on other islands and the mainland. Remote Admin access & remote troubleshooting of servers/workstations is something I've done for over 10 years. I will have email & text messaging set up in the unlikely event that troubleshooting or a device restart is needed.
6. I was planning on Elgius for the lowest fees & highest payouts for everyone. I can open this up to group voting if there's enough interest (this really isn't a dictatorship, I truly believe we're all in this together)
7. Refunds are not usually allowed on these types of Group Buys because we've all put $/BTC on the line to get this done. I've already put up a bit of $ and collateral to get this done. The mfg. plan from HF is to give us 2-4X our purchased HashRate in order make sure we make ROI within 90 days (and everything after is nearly pure profit!). No mfg. currently has such an impressive miner protection plan in place & it's meant to be an outlet for ASIC pre-order delay anxiety. The backup plan is Cointerra which should be shipping in November/December. If this doesn't sound like something you're interested in, then please take a pass so that someone else can get a chance.
I hope this can help you make your decision. Cheers!

Roger that phillip. Will keep an eye out.
Guys, I'm gonna buy 2 more shares of my own. That moves me up to 8 shares (to be paid) or 20% of any miner we buy together.
That way I'm not outweighed (at least equal) on voting.
1 share left!
Also, I need to go offline to take care of the ebay shares (4 of them).
Thanks again!

Sent PM.
I can't send you PayPal without an address! Like 45 minutes ago I sent John K. a PM about buying the 6 shares through PP Gift. That's sure went out the window fast.
I see that only about half the shares are paid in the escrow, too.
If anybody wants to back out of their shares I will happily take them. If a few shares are not paid in time I will be happy to pick those up.

Yikes! sorry! heading to post office soon. I just found out from helping milkbottlec, that though the PayPal payment was "Completed" the actual transfer to my bank acct. is 3-4 business days. Lame. Meaning: I'm on the hook for milkbottlec's shares until the transfer is complete. Sorry, I'm going to have to take confirmed BTC for the last share.  |

Also the reason why I told you that I wouldn't be able to do a bank transfer of cash. Getting from USD to BTC and out is a hard task! Hopefully I can sell 6-7 BTC worth of stuff and depending on the situation come out with a few more shares. |

Hi filharvey, I have you down for a soft reservation but we're getting down to the wire & HashFast is running out of stock. Sorry, that's the best I can do right now because things have changed so rapidly on the mfg. supply side. If someone PMs John & sends a confirmed payment for the last share, I'm going to have to give it to them for the good of the Group Buy. Got the BTC for the 4 ebay shares, will be sending payment to John for 6 more shares, 2 for me & 4 for ebay purchased shares when I get back from errands. |

Confirmed Phil! Thanks again!
Adding 9.3 BTC shortly to escrow: 2 shares for me, 4 ebay shares.
Be back soon w/ latest updates.
That's all folks! 0 shares remaining. Amazing! Let's hope we can get that escrow wallet filled so that John can order soon. I'll post the order invoice (my personal info smeared or blocked out, of course) and fill you in a little more on the colocation hosting plans. Will also publicly list our share allocation - with some names withheld, since this is the interwebs.
