If you have the coin, I'm now willing to consider offers entirely in BTC, though I would like significantly more than asking price as I'll need to sell off a good number of the coins (at least half to give to the other owner) and I suspect I'll run into serious slippage issues.
Interested in the first house sold for Bitcoin? PM me!

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

If you sell off the BTC slowly over a week or two, you will not move the price much. The depth chart on the bid side has ~50,000 BTC total bids between the current price and $4.85. |

If you sell off the BTC slowly over a week or two, you will not move the price much. The depth chart on the bid side has ~50,000 BTC total bids between the current price and $4.85. In one week, I would have gone from selling ~22.68k coins @ ~$110,000, to now only receiving ~$106,050. I'm not rich, and half the house isn't owned by me, so I need to pay off half in USD, making the $4k loss entirely my own. In reality, for me, it'd be going from ~$50k after taxes & fees, to ~$46k. Obviously, it could go the other way, too, but it's an enormous gamble. ETA: I misspoke. When you posted, the price was actually @ ~$5.3, so 110000/5.3=20,754. 20,754*4.76=$98,789. I would've actually gone from $50k from the sale, to less than $40k, a 20% loss. ETA2: I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to hedge against that, though... could be messy, though. I suppose I also wouldn't necessarily take a "real" 20% loss on earnings in the above scenario, either. Depends on price fluctuation until I can offload $50k worth of BTC, which might be doable at the time of transaction without significant slippage. |

The value of BTC in two years 2010 May 10000, a pizza 2011 Jul 10000, 3 houses 2012 April 10000, half a house ridiculous, and I love it... marked |

Make sure you are taking depth into account, and not just multiplying x coins by y current rate. http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/ has a good depth calculator, just type in the number of coins to sell, and it will tell you how much USD you would actually get. |

Pending offer in USD. $102.5k bid, contingent on sale of their house. Counter-offered seeking $107k. Until their house is sold, we are permitted to continue accepting bids.
Cheers.

Quick question: Have you by chance contacted a company like Bit-Pay, to see if they could streamline the conversion to USD for you? Granted, you probably don't *need* to do that, but if the process they offered was simple and guaranteed (IOW, they charge a set small fee, give you the remainder in USD, and take the risk of losing money when slowly selling the BTC), it might allow you to entertain BTC offers closer to the USD price.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.

Selling your house for Bitcoin?
No wonder you have to sell your house.

No, but that sounds fairly reasonable. I haven't had any offers in BTC, but I'd definitely consider it if I received one. |

Still on the market. Landscaping has been drastically improved. Exchange rate is pretty solid, so I'd be fine doing GoxLast even if I were subject to significant slippage selling to pay her brother for half the value of the house.
