Bitfloor was closed down by bank of america.

Not true. Bitfloor's funds were kept in a Chase bank account.

Bank of America was just a venue for deposits made through a third party. (LocalTill)

They seem to spend a lot on ads, why not on bitcoinx? Who cares? Its too late to order anything, even if its not scam.

They link directly to BFL order pages on this list: http://www.bitcoinx.com/bitcoin-mining-hardware/

If affiliated (or run by an employee, investor etc), this is just as much of an advertisement as anything else they've run.

Is bitcoinx affiliated with BFL? I was using their calculator when I moused over to their hardware listing: http://www.bitcoinx.com/bitcoin-mining-hardware/

Apparently no Avalon units have shipped, yet the prices on BFL's units show the price increase/hash decrease as well as a new comment on all three products "shipping now"

Curiosity is human nature. You colored the transactions as associated with an illegal activity with your choice of both Subject topic and post content.

Would it have been more difficult to inquire for the purpose of curiosity itself? Additionally, I added more information to my previous post.

Sometimes people send bitcoins in order to make pretty sounds on http://www.listentobitcoin.com/

The minute you think its more than that, you expose yourself as the conniving one. They're called wallets for a reason... If I choose to move money from my black leather wallet to my blue suede wallet I'm free to do so (and subsequently move it back).

If someone chooses to move coins from one wallet to another, now... all of a sudden because the balance of wallets is public, you're entitled to more information?

---

Edit to add more information: Bitcoin has such a great quantity of available wallet addresses that you can perform transactions and throw away the wallets that you started with.

I pay with my black leather wallet.

I put my coins into my brown leather wallet as the other individual (A) puts their coins in their wallet.

I pay with my blue suede wallet.

I put my coins into my green frogskin wallet as the other individual (B) puts their coins in their wallet.

... repeat ad nauseum.

(This is also a standard feature of some bitcoin wallet programs. What purpose does it serve to always return to the same wallet? Its a concept stuck in the material realm.)

The following exchange is being posted as a public record.

Would you take $500 shipped for both of em?

Offer in BTC?

3.9

I accept that offer. Could you please provide your shipping information?

Did you want to use escrow? If so please have them contact me, otherwise I can provide you with my bitcoin-otc web of trust linked address.

Thanks!


Hmm I just realized that I could get two new non reference 7950s for $580, plus they come with games that I could sell.  I think that I'm probably gonna go for those...  Unless you want to go even lower on the price of yours? 

I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours. In all likelihood, I'll be posting a copy of our PMs in my sale thread...

Just to verify:
-I offered a product
-You made a bid
-I accepted your bid
-You withdrew your offer at the agreed upon price



Is this correct?

If there is a misunderstanding, please provide the name of the escrow agent that you would like to work with (or request that I post a BTC address for you to send a payment of 3.9 BTC), along with your shipping details.

Thank you.



That is exactly what happened...

In regards to posting these PM's, feel free....

I am selling two used HIS GPUs. They are the same model. One has been used for gaming since September 2012, the other since November 2012.

If you have any questions please post or PM. I'm taking offers in BTC.

In terms of payment, I'm open to either you sending first or using an escrow service (You pay fees - if using a free service, I'll expect you to leave at least a nominal tip)

---
EDIT:

Question 1: If I bought them would I get all of the warranty information?

Answer 1:I did not register either of the two GPUs with HIS. AFAIK you will be able to register with them to have a full warranty. I will provide proof of purchase information. (Both were purchased from a registered online retailer) I am not familiar with HIS's RMA process but if it requires that the retailer be contacted, I would do that on your behalf.

Question 2: Would you accept an offer in xxx.xx USD/CAD/CNY?

Answer 2: I am offering these cards for sale in BTC. Please do not ask for a price (or make an offer) enumerated in any other currency.

---
EDIT 2:

SOLD. THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO CONTACTED ME.

EDIT 3:

User  Notaek https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=76847 Made an offer in USD, Reaffirmed that offer in BTC, then failed to proceed. The second post in this thread provides a record of our exchange.

At this point in time, both cards are again for sale.

When I log into blockchain, the USA deposits are the only ones that show up as available. Are other deposit methods involving fiat (Euro) not supported? UK/Euro/Other all lack options and are greyed out.

If anyone has this (or something other than this) could you post? Thanks!

Seeking USD or BTC advance (details inside)
by
xenigma
on 20/04/2013, 22:54:27 UTC
Hello,

I have a bitfloor account with a bit over 2500 USD. This company was repaying customers via ACH transfer, but is now intending to repay customers by check or wire (now that their bank account has been closed).

I am looking for an advance of my BitFloor balance minus a fee for the advance. I was locked out of BTC at $80/coin. I am willing to put 10 BTC in an escrow fund, as well as my BFL 60 GH/s preorder.

Please reply (no PM) here if you're willing to help. I've outlined a bit more of my situation in the threads below:

Hello,

I have a bitfloor account with between 1,000 and 3,000 USD. This company was repaying customers via ACH transfer (not available in EU). No information on wire transfers was announced.

Am I able to sell / transfer access to my account and transfer bitfloor's debt? For BTC, or any other currency?

Sorry if this is the wrong area... Thank you

Re: John (John K.)'s escrow service (previously known as johnthedong)

Hey, thanks for the reply.

They made the decision to cease exchange activity indefinitely. Users with BTC could withdraw to private wallets while USD funds are only accessible via ACH transfer to a US bank account. I do not have a US bank account, and they have not made any information public on what/when non-US users might be reimbursed. I'm about two weeks away from personal liquidity issues, yet have a little over 2500 USD in my bitfloor account.

I've elaborated more here (same thread, but two posts regarding the situation):

I'm amused by the calls for a p2p exchange. One has been developed in its entirety and is under GNU if I recall correctly.

fixagora.

ATM it is a functional proof of concept, but it only needs to be adapted to BTC, rather than built from the ground up.

1) You should not have invested more that you could have afforded to lose.

2) An international wire transfer will probably cost you at most, $50.


Thank you for your feedback. I am relaying my personal story because it relates to the quality and character of the exchange.

---

1. At no point did I have invested more than I could afford to lose. Did I have more in the market than I could afford to have stolen (access to funds blocked for a period of time), yes. This was a mistake on my part, but the semantics of the issue are key because my current situation is not the responsibility of my own actions, but the responsibility of the individual(s)/company which is blocking access to control my own funds.

2. Thank you for estimating the cost of an international wire transfer. I am glad that it is not a percentage base of the amount transferred, but the time delays associated with such a transaction result in true costs in excess of $50

---

also just get a second job and tell your landlord you took on a second job to pay the rent.  and quit doing stupid shit.


dw: Thank you for your reply. I am working in the short term to see what options are available. Please clarify what actions I've taken that you'd classify as stupid shit.

-------------------------

Quote from: BitcoinAshley
Everyone's pretending there's some major issue with USD like it was stolen or something - YES DUH it's a minor inconvenience to have to remove your USD from an exchange that is indefinitely closed - but it's an ACH transfer away from your bank account. It's safe, no "fuss" involved.

It is not a 'minor' inconvenience. I have NO access to my funds. A mechanism of managing them has not been announced. ACH transfer is not an option.


You're also claim that 'There is no problem relating to USD that they owe users'


Is my situation not an issue related to a debt which I am owed? I cannot receive their fiat disbursement method. I can receive BTC.

One issue deals with the systems in place (or not in place) to disburse USD. The other relates to the explicit decision to prevent withdrawal of BTC.

Re: bitfloor issues?

I'm practically in tears.

I don't have a US bank account and had funds on bitfloor because I figured since it was easily accessible for US users, that it would be a good place to operate. Sure, trading from one side and allowing a balance to build up in USD was my choice, and my responsibility, but the fact that I can't withdraw in BTC means I will have to request an international wire transfer, which I believe is expensive.

The fact of the matter is that if their twitter post is accurate, they're dealing with international users after US users. They're locking me out of accessing my funds for I'm guessing a minimum of two weeks (1 week for account verification and another for the wire transfer).

If it takes any more time than that, I might not be able to make my rent payments. My last exchange was at ~80 USD per coin. I was never informed that the exchange would be closing. I was never informed that in case of issues related to the finances of the exchange or in case it shuts down, that USD would be the only means of recovering deposits.

I can't even find anyone to take over the account. I feel like I've lost complete control of my life. My worth has been taken from me. I have no options. And why? Because the exchange's bank account is being closed? If that is the reason, the only option is to provide participants the opportunity to transition out or away from the market. Turning away new members or not accepting USD deposits are acceptable means by which the issue could have been addressed. If necessary (that is, if the exchange rate got too uneven), you could even work with vendors or another exchange to transfer balances or supply coins at market rate (last trade +5% from gox) until volume traded dwindled and the exchange could shut down.

This could have happened over a 2 week period, or a 1 week period, but instead it was forced. In a single day (twitter posts providing customer support before the announcement) The ground that hundreds of people stood on was shaken and fractured. I've fallen to the ground. I'm not even sure I can stand any more. Worse yet, I'm not entirely sure that I want to.

Re: [WTS] Bitfloor account with $2500 USD. Seeking BTC
by
xenigma
on 18/04/2013, 23:22:00 UTC
They are refunding customers who already had established and linked US bank accounts. This account has never had anything linked to it, and so it has to go through verification. I would either provide account details or initiate the transfer to your account. (Which requires a picture of a photo ID and your routing/acct number).

If I would have known, I would have changed out at 80USD/coin if I had been notified via email. I'd be willing to work with a coin vendor too, if coins went into an escrow wallet until verification.

The fact is that  I'd like to have 2500 USD worth of coins at a recent exchange rate. I've already missed out on a 20% change in fiat/BTC and would rather have access to my funds (Or have them in BTC rather than USD)

Thanks...
