Dear current & future Mintspare Fund holders,
Its been a wild ride for me since I came up with the idea for Mintspare, The Worlds First bitcoin Trade-In Service. I have been personally involved in the Bitcoin world since May 2013 when I bought my first bitcoins on Coinbase and dabbled into the mining scene with GPUs for a little while. I immediately became consumed and obsessed over the next several months with the implications of learning about the potentials of the protocol and the currency. One day in September, I was trying to sell my old iPhone for bitcoins and became frustrated with finding a reputable, fast and simple service that would buy used electronics in exchange for bitcoins. Thats when the idea for Mintspare was born. Since then, I have made it my mission to provide this service.
Today I am proud to present to every holder of the Mintspare Fund a private beta test invitation to surf the site, test the features, sell up to 2 items and provide any feedback; compliments, criticisms, bug findings, security flaws, etc (details on our bug bounty program will soon be released). A beta invite will be sent to your Havelock associated e-mail account at 2PM EST. Further, all fund unit holders will receive a 10% bonus per account for this private beta test to be put toward the items you sell. This 10% bonus will be subsidized from my personal bitcoins holding and not from Mintspares funds. If you have friends or family that want to surf the site or sell items or just try the beta, Im going to reserve additional beta test invitations for the first 100 people who e-mail me at
galfry@mintspare.com.
I understand that the site will not be 100% perfect which is why I am asking for your help to get Mintspare ready for the official launch in March. I appreciate all the support from friends, family, the Havelock team, the talented engineers and new team members as well as everyone else that showed their support and criticisms along the way. My hope is that Mintspare will eventually become one of the quickest and easiest ways for people around the world to get direct access to Bitcoin in exchange for their used electronics.
Thank you,
Galfry Puechavy
Founder & CEO of Mintspare
