This order is officially closed.

CCM,

I presume the next batch is still Open?

I sent you a PM and I did it right this time so you should have it!
Is there an issue with paying by a MtGox account with 6-Confirmations?
Do you have an order form or do we just pay and post the transaction details here?

Should I send an email concerning the order by pgp?

any payments are going to go into the next order. next order will be placed when 50 units are paid for. if orders will keep coming in, i'll keep running it...

as far as sending from mt. gox or other exchanges etc...: you don't control that sending address, so it's theoretically possible for someone to sign that message and claim they placed that order and not you.
therefore, it is highly advisable to send from address/es you control and can sign a message with.
when I'm done with accounting for the first order, i'll put up some pics/instructions on signing messages too.

For those who may not be clear on this: Currently:

- blockchain.info accounts can be set up for free. As many as one wishes.

- blockhain.info accounts can sign messages.

- it should be relatively straightforward to set up a 'throw-away' blockchain.info account, send the necessary funds (with possibly a little more in case transaction fees are desirable) from one's Mt. Gox account to the blockchain.info account, thence on to the Group Buy. This will allow one to sign messages demonstrating proof of ownership.

Notes:

- There may be other wallets, but I've only used blockchain.info so it is the only one I can speak to.

- Best to take notes and log the info from the 'throw away' account just in case it is needed in the future.

- Although blockchain.info claims to be pretty robust against various form of exploitation seen in the past, it's still and on-line wallet and very few people are going to be studying the decryption code to verify that it is legit. Still, in a use-case such as this, one is only risking money for a short amount of time. I personally weigh the risk of Mt. Gox being locked by the authorities as higher than blockchain.info engineering a heist anyway.
