Title: Missing 0.53 btc to buy the last item on my list! :(
Post by: meanovo on September 12, 2012, 04:22 am
Hi guys!
I bought everything planned today (mdma speed benzo, etc)
But then when i realized i was supposed to buy special-k aswell. I just was like *facepalm* when i saw how little i needed.

Are there any kind souls out there willing to loan me 0.53 btc?  :>
I don't want to skip the Ket, but im not very keen on making a transfer to buy a half Bitcoin...

He meanovo,

You need to buy a couple more Bitcoin than you will need for your purchase to allow for fluctuations in Bitcoin value, and also to cover you for situations like the above.
It is not fair to ask others to give you 0.53 BTC ($5.89 / €4.55) of their own money; you are effectively asking them to buy you your drugs. Use this experience as a lesson and be sure to get enough to cover your orders in future.

3 months ago I would not have had a problem doing this when 1BC = 3.2 odd quid, but times have changed.

A good rule of thumb I tend to follow is instead of calculating your SR fund rigorously (messing around with exchange fees, bank fees etc etc) just add on 10% for purchases <100 quid etc, the remainder will always be there when you come back.

I understand what you mean. But the real mistake was probably buying the Bitcoins before desiding what to buy.
