To James and all those wanting to not participate anymore in Gigamining:
Perhaps there is a way people can sell their bonds to someone who wants to buy them. We could use the blockchain to verify they are who they claim to be through the information James got from GLBSE he can verify they are who they say they are and someone like me could send a payment to that payout address for said number of shares at an agreed upon price, verify it in the blockchain and James can transfer those bonds to the new owners. Those who want to remain anonymous or can't afford the proper documentation due to whatever reason in their country get out of the contract get what they want and I get more bonds... Then people can stop screaming in the forums about what went wrong, or how they feel they are getting cheated? We are all in some kind of shitty ass fucked up GLBSE screwup so lets stop whining about it and put our fucking collective heads together and come up with a damn solution.
By the way I emailed James and in the time it too me to type this out he sent me my payment.. and I can type 80 wpm.
Thanks james and please consider something like this to help us through this transition.

I would be happy with selling my rights to my claim, but it was expressly stated that would be not be honored by Giga. I wouldn't be complaining if there was any other solution offered, but everything suggested has been expressly shut down already. This is me compromising: I understand that BTC has gone up in price since we bought, I understand our funds were most likely converted to USD to buy hardware. That's why I personally would be fine with taking a USD equivalent of my investment rather than the actual BTC as a refund. I think James has been pretty clear that going through the claim is the only thing he will accept. I expect a reply to this with a "make a claim you will get paid" post.
