Not at all.  But only if you use paypal.

I always use paypal.  Usually it takes a couple hours total.  And that includes confirmations.

Here's the process (it was a little confusing for me at first):

You deposit btc into your virwox wallett, wait for them to confirm
Sell the BTC for SLL
Sell the SLL for USD
Withdraw the USD via paypal.

Sometimes there is a delay before the paypal transaction gets proessed, but I've never had the total process take more than 6 hours.  And it works just as easy in reverse.  In my opinion it's the best way to buy and sell btc via paypal.

EDIT:  Fair warning though, it tends to be a little more pricey than waiting.  But for me it's worth the extra cost for getting my money (or btc) fast.

incase people haven't realised it, the easiest way to turn BTCs into US$ is to buy ASICminers and sell them on eBay. heh.

It's really not much to worry about.  If you'd have been watching the price for the last two years you would realize that this is the most stable it has been since it was around $5 / btc.  The price of btc has been super volatile over the last 2-3 years...

Nothing to see here, move along...

Are they better at buying your BTC than they are at selling BTC to you, and how long does it take to get USD out?

Can someone recommend someone trusty who would buy BTC ?

If you could see the colors of my ankle right now, you d know how i feel about that...  :-D

4 hours later,  all domestics  are shipped. I actually watched the postal guy pick them up.

Internationals: due to my ankle i had to call it a day for now. Since i need to use FedEx or the postal service, and refuse to use the postal service, i'm find a 24 hour  kinks and finish tonight.

I have a lot of talking numbers, but my pc is down stairs,  and I'm not hearing down there until my for apps throbbing. I'll get them out to you all after i rest a bit.

I slept from about  7 till noon actually.  :-D at office depot now. All 47 remaining domestic shipments are being leveled as we speak. The internationals i have to go elsewhere. I'll keep you posted.

Also,  the galaxy s4 is a brilliant phone. 
:-D

If we can bid on it, I would pay 2.3 for that one just to bring back the sunshine and rainbows.  I wish I had ordered a few more and will likely do so when there is another one run by Arklan. 

john k already knows about my concerns

i find it a bit unsettling that the ebay sellers are using Arklan's photos from this thread, and they all say "IN HAND" ready to ship...

I would like to state Arklan has posted updates every step of the way, and if everyone followed the thread like I had, all their answers about this "delay" in shipping would already be answered.

Are there things that could have happened better?  Yes.
Do I think I could have done a better job than Arklan? No.

I am still pleased with Arklan's performance in this group buy.  I have 100% confidence in Arklan at this point. 

i'm really hoping he meant without the heatsink on, or got the wrong thread entirely and meant the blades...

but hey, if not, no big deal to grab some fans, eh? ...though come to think of it my usual stores for doing so don't exist in this state... hmm.

+1

Friedcat says he'll start taking the orders once he has received and completed the test on the sticks. Hopefully we can get the orders in quick! 

Ur doing it wrong:  you only want one address per transaction.


Why not take two sides of those transactions with your customers, instead of just the usual, single "buy my stuff" side?  Why not offer to sell them bitcoin too?  If they're curious about bitcoin, but they find that acquiring coin is difficult, sell them some coin.  Offer them the best spread available, since you make your real profit off whatever you sell in your store.  There... now wasn't that easy?

Isn't that your job:  to make things easy for your customers and see to it that they get what they want?

It happens from time to time, but after few minutes when recalculation kicks off it comes to normal.

I have a suggestion for those who are impatient (and think they are loosing shares) - add startum, stratum2, atratum3 and api to your miner and use 'load balance' as strategy. This way even if there is a problem with one of the hosts and/or shares are lost (though i doubt so - it just takes time for them to appear), then you will still get all shares from the rest of the backends. In case of connection issues with some of them you will still submit shares to the rest.

i'm gonna need more cardboard...
