Title: Question - PO box size and bitcoin/USD exchange rate
Post by: Thatone567 on April 09, 2013, 01:16 am
1. Generally, how big are packages containing personal amounts of DMT (up to 100 mg and probably no bigger, but maybe 200 mg someday)? My PO box is small, if I recall correctly its size is 3 inches by 5.5 inches. Should I get a bigger one?

2. I've been wondering how long the bitcoin 'bubble' will last (bitcoins being $190 and all that). If I convert my USD to bitcoins at Mt. Gox and then attempt to buy on SR, if the bubble were to pop before my bitcoins were transferred, would I get screwed over? I don't yet know exactly how the process works, as I haven't ordered yet.

I appreciate all help.

I have gotten a few grams of DMT in PO safe packages, 200 mg should be no problem but it depends on how your vendor ships.


When you do buy see if your vendor has a hedge option.  This will help to compensate if the bitcoin fluctuates.  But this will only work if you get a refund from the vendor.

Gotcha.

What is hedging? Also, generally, how long does it take for the money to be put into escrow (or made safe from the possibility of me losing money) after placing an order on SR, if I just converted to BTC from USD right before placing an order?
