Hi all, I'm getting ready to apply for my bond reimbursement, and am just wondering - is it returned as the original bitcoin amount deposited, or is the bond amount pinned to the dollar?
Obviously it would be great it the bitcoin amount is returned, seeing as bitcoins have tripled in value in the last 6 weeks.

Vendor bond is unhedged -- you'll get back the amount of bitcoins you paid in :)
-
If this is true then that is great news. If hedged I would lose 75%+ of my bitcoins. I was really wondering and worried about that. Thanks for the thread.

Awesome! I can't believe BTC may be worth $100 by the time I get the bond back. :)
-
Wow that is fantastic news ;D

Some people have gotten $2500 back. Imagine that. Lucky fucks t

Yeah, I was just a week shy of being able to cash out at $230/bitcoin. I submitted my bond at $22.

;D I thought there was an error in the system when I received my original bond plus $2,500.00 just now. I am happy to see that this was supposed to happen. Although, if I had known I would have been patient enough to let it go back up to $200+ per BTC.

Um... you can still hold your BTC and wait until it goes back up to $200 before exchanging back to USD (or whatever currency). Whether it's in the hands of The Road or your wallet, it doesn't matter.

Vendor reimbursement? When did this happen? I paid the fee well over a year ago. How do I apply to get reimbursed?

A year ago you didn't submit a bond. You submitted a fee. The Road switched from a $150 fee to a $500 bond several months ago. Thus, you aren't eligible for a refund.
-
I do easily well over both those numbers each month. Do I qualify?
-
Yup, unhedged, i got mine about a month ago and didnt know this and imagine my disbelief when i'm reimbursed £1800 :D

Yeah but we all know I am going to spend this "unexpected bonus" on fun supplies. But seriously, I probably will keep it until the price jumps back up. Assuming SR comes back soon...
-
whats the amount you are allowed to get the bond back ? and does anyone qualify if you pass that amount ?

Read the seller's guide.

Yeah I paid 330GBP for the bond and got 750GBP back 6 weeks later - t'was a nice little investment! ;)

With all the madness last month we forgot all about the bond. Great time to reinvest
