Bakal, on this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=315198.0) Round 21 has antminers. Typo?

Philippine Bank to Bank transfers are slow. They take time to clear. Almost as if you write a check from Security Bank, to deposit to BDO, will take 3 banking days to clear. Online transfers are subject to the same time constraints.

What most businesses do locally is do a cash withdrawal (sometimes through a check encashment), grab the cash, walk over to the other bank, and deposit the cash over the counter. The amount is credited instantly this way.

Fortunately, a lot of banks are right beside each other, so you can regularly see people moving from one bank to the other.

For example, in one strip, there are 3 or 4 banks one after the other. Each bank has at least 2 armed security guards. The walking distance from one bank to the next is about 5 meters.

Low tech, but that's the situation. Otherwise, you can always issue a check and wait for it to clear.

Today we're launching https://BuyBitcoin.ph - the safest and easiest way to buy and sell bitcoins in Philippines!

We believe this is a key piece of infrastructure that the Filipino Bitcoin ecosystem has been missing, and we're very excited about the role Bitcoin can play in one of the world's largest remittance markets.

Your rates are kind of high. But you seem to make it easier than the typical local trade.

With volume we will be able to lower our rates significantly.

Just thought to let everyone here know that tagcash.com is now live for trading of Bitcoin and 16 other cryptocurrencies against each other, as well as 9 fiat currencies (including PHP). No transaction charges, and no charges for Philippine users to deposit PHP into BPI, BDO, Metrobank and Standard Chartered Bank. There is also an escrow function (free) that allows users to pay but not fully transfer untill Bitcoin etc has been fully transferred and confirmed, which also protects the seller as the money cannot be released untill proof either way.

Tagcash is a payment platform with a built in exchange. We are based in Makati, but available worldwide. Tagcash aims to become the paypal of cryptocurrency, and this requires us to have an exchange built in as part of the platform. If you want to start selling goods and services for Bitcoin or Cryptocurrency, you can do so using our free API, or creating a merchant account in tagbond.com and creating free adverts, coupons, shopping carts etc. Transaction charges are 1% of sales for merchant accounts.

@Ayakashi - We have been working for the last few months with Bangko Sentral, and we are going through the process of becoming licensed as E money issuers and have already created a 100m Peso company as part of the requirements. Although you don't need a license to create an exchange, we do because we are intending to compete with G Cash and Smart Money in Philippines. As for banking, it's fairly straightforward, different bank to bank payments cost about 100 pesos per transaction, depositing money costs nothing if you have bank accounts with most of the popular banks (as we do). It's been interesting learning about the requirements and needs here. I will be at the Bitcoin meetup next week if you want to talk more.

[Ayakashi]

Thanks to those that replied, including @tagbond, @Dabs and @execute. I appreciate your insights. 

I'm based in Las Vegas, USA, so unfortunately can't attend this meetup but I'll bet you'll see me at one in the near future.  I'm going to get the code nearer to test-ready stage, and then complete the company registration and banking locally. @tagbond, like you I plan to create a 100m Peso company so that I can register as a foreign-owned corporation although we'll have a local office.

[tagbond]

@Ayakashi - you don't need PHP100m USD$2.5m) to create a foreign owned corporation, in fact that only needs $200,000 (although in practice they do make it difficult). We put the 100m in as paid up capital so we can become Bangko Sentral approved to issue our own currency or deal with electronic money. Unless you are going that route, no need to spend so much..

But if you do set up an exchange here, you are still going to need to get fiat money in somehow, and that is where we can help...and if you are intending to build your own wallet system, we would be interested in integrating it in the same way we will do for vMoney, TCash, Gcash etc

Would like to invite everyone here to join our growing community at Bitcoin.org.ph. :-) We're also in need of contributors and moderators so if you're interested, let me know! :-)

Blue Fury x 2 and Ice (Nano) Fury x 2 available for sale. 2+ GH/S each. Supposed to be 2.5, but they rarely get that high. 2.1 maybe. Although the pool I tested with (eligius.st) shows 2.9 for one of these units. Price is 5,000 PHP each, payable in cash, bitcoin or tagcoin.

ROI in 5 months on constant difficulty, which we all know isn't going to happen, so these units are just learning or fun tools, not a business.

Buy all 4 for 17,000 PHP. No meet up, I will ship to you via Air21 for free.

magkano last price nito sir, can't make an ROI of 5 mos with this current difficulty 1,789,546,951

[Dabs]

13,000 PHP, get all 4. Note that in testing, I plugged 2 in one computer, and 2 in another, kasi I dont have enough usb ports in one computer. If you're in Metro Manila, you may possibly pick them up at one of 19 locations. Otherwise I just ship it to you.

*edit* lowered pricing again.
