I'm not sure what the best way of doing this. I hope the buyer would explain his concerns and we can work them out. Yes, it's currently hosted in Sweden and includes 6 months free hosting by KNC. I suppose it should be possible to pick it up directly from KNC in Sweden. But, I'm in Chicago, so I'd need to get paid first, i.e., probably with escrow. It may also be possible to have KNC ship it directly to the customer. Again, buyers - work with me. If someone could meet me face-to-face in Chicago or New York (Dec 13-22nd), I would prefer that, but that seems unlikely to happen.
What if the buyer wants to keep hosting? 6 months are already included and paid for! I think this would be easiest, just transfer mining credentials over, and have KNC confirm owner transfer. How do we go about it? Anyone has experience dealing with a hosted device? I'd prefer not having to deal with shipping, and waiting for arrival, or pick up. With proper escrow, we should be able to close this today, just transfer mining credentials over, see it hashing, etc. Wait a week for KNC to confirm ownership, etc..., then escrow releases funds to me.
Does anyone have an offer of 17 BTC or higher?
EDIT: I contacted KNC to see how difficult it would be to transfer hosted device ownership to another person. Will update when they respond.
How this one work out? Could you please explain more
Well, if you go to
http://portal.kncminer.com, from there, you can manage your miner remotely, and configure which pool/address you want to mine with. (Currently, mine is set to Eligius). During the day of sale, I would give access of this portal to the escrow person, he can confirm that it is mining at 688 GH/s, etc. And then, from there the buyer would pay escrow the bitcoins. In the meantime, I'll be in contact with KNC in officially transferring the hosting/Jupiter ownership to the buyer. As soon as KNCMiner gives the go ahead, escrow then releases the coins to me, and the mining credentials over to the buyer, where he may change the password, set up a new e-mail address/login, etc. That's at least my idea of how it would go down. Let me know if you have better ideas.
