Have emailed bidder due to the following statement in my listing:
Quote
Please only bid if you have greater than 20 Feedbacks, with greater than 98% positive feedback, and no recent eBay policy violations. I reserve the right to cancel a bid.
If they have no way to get me to trust them I may offer a second chance.
If you want to pay by bitcoin rate will be 24h global sliding average from https://bitcoinaverage.com/#GBP with a £10 discount, Pm me after sale for address/details.
I can understand the idea of paper wallets but I think they're ridiculous, like fiat money they're easy to tear and you can set them on fire pretty easily, not something I would have a lot of money attached to.
With paper wallet, you can keep (encrypted) ones in you real life wallet and in an emergency use Mycelium's cold spend feature. You can also keep a backup (or multiple) elsewhere.
I struggle to see the advantage of keeping a cold laptop unless it was to sign transactions then move them on to a live pc. I think I'm more likely to spill water on a laptop then set fire to my wallet.
Signed up and received promo credit, thanks. Will post updates as soon as I test it out.

I personally feel the fees are the killer however it is a viable idea. Perhaps an alternative model could help, I'll chuck out my top of my head ideas:
Sponsored till rolls
Higher upfront fee
lower fees the more you use (send under £50 pcm fee =3%, spend over £50, fee lowers to 2% etc)
Obtain a referral deal with an exchange
Just some ideas, good luck. I would like see this.
I can see lots of big trades in bitstamp and price goin up fast. what is happening? is someone manipulating the price or what is the reason for this fast jump.
I think a lot of people were on the sidelines, just needed a push. Pushes include its monday (new fiat on exchanges?) UK tax rules and Ukraine issues.
