Title: 0.005btc short
Post by: shortyshortthrowaway on June 29, 2013, 06:12 am
Hi, trying to do my first ever transaction. A week ago when I ordered my BTC, I thought I was stoking, and I'd have about 20 bit-cents extra. Then I watch the price drop. Today, while waiting for my coins, the price for the item I wanted went up to the exact amount I had purchased, and now I'm this tiny fraction short.

Scared I'll lose even more value, I'd really like to get this done.

Is there a kind soul out there who could spare a poor fool 0.005btc? It's about 5 cents USD, but I would appreciate it more than you could imagine. I'd have the damn 0.005 if it wasn't for an unexpected transfer fee ><

Thank you.

Just wait a day or two, it will go back up and you won't need to ask for $.05,  or go start mining and make that in a couple hours.

IMHO It's not cool to ask for btc on the forum.

Thanks for your opinion, but I'm not particularly interested in it. I'm asking for a pittance. If it wasn't so difficult to get BTC, I wouldn't have to ask for a nickle. And if it was more than a nickle, I wouldn't ask. But all I'm looking for is a nickel basically to account for ridiculous transaction circumstances that could not have been predicted. I tried to account for fees.

Actually, looking at the number again it looks like you needed $0.50 USD. I unfortunately don't have that much, but I have 7 cents more and I'll send them as well. I hope someone else can help you with the rest! :-[
