Hi

I forget who he is or if the offer is still open.if this offer is still runnning,please let me know on here so I can give info about the miner settings.Thanks

Edit:Updated the title to clarify the topic of this post.

Ok Og,I checked out this link and it's still invite only. When I enter my email,it already says that's in use. So it's not even open to me. I'm actally looking for a member on these forums who once offered this service. I've never recieved any beta invites for gpumax from several months ago so I can't really trust it in this case.

0.5 BTC for 250,000 shares is insane. You won't find it anywhere.

So safe to say the guy in question is no longer in business then?

On GPUMAX 250k shares would cost you well over 12.5 BTC.

Wow.That's pretty high.I wonder how much each share is worth then?

Ya, I wasn't going to debate the insanity of his request.  Just thought I'd show him where he can buy a contract.

Hmm.I'm simply looking for the person who once offered this type of service before. I remember seeing a service offered that offered a fair number of shares for a reasonable price (so I thought). I'm simply looking for the person who once offered what I was looking for (but then disapeared I think). I need someone who can (actually) help me look for the forum member who offered something I once remember seeing ok or close to that.That is all.

If anyone is offering you that, it is a scam.  It is like me saying that I will sell you a $20 bill for $0.50.

Sounds like I may have been had.Either case,thank you guys. I did wonder why he disappeared after that 'offer' was here? But anyhow it may have been a scammer. Looks like case closed for finding the guy. Question is now:how do I find out the value of a share? Also who are the more reputable players in the mining contracts and still get a good deal with a flexible time slot?

Like I'm looking for a certain number of shares for a set price or something along those lines anyway.

Ah looks like someone already came to help me while I was asking the question.Talk about fast help here. Thanks terrytibbs for that formula.

Edit-Looks like a share is worth:0.00003073 with the current difficulty (1626856.73)

It wasn't A1 bitcoinpool that made that offer. Also what is that (as I'm not aware of this pool/proxy)?

A1bitcoinpool was a mining pool that  paid a premium for shares, mined a couple of blocks, got "hacked", disappeared for a bit, came back and disappeared again.

IIRC the block payments and shares ended up being paid out by someone who stepped in to help.

If you look in the mining pools topic you'll find information from around late January/February this year.

Sorry to necro, but here is the link to the resolving thread:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=66387.0

It's an ongoing case. I've been contacted recently regarding repayment, too, so it might be resolved at some point. I just wanted to note that here as I intend to make sure his name is fully cleared on all relevant threads in case of repayment.
