wywialm: los
_pantalones, TheNewDeal thanks anyway for your offers
wywialm: TheNewDeal, much too expensive, los
_pantalones offered the same for 45 days not 22
wywialm: los
_pantalones, let's say i'm protecting a hypotetical receipt of fiat
wywialm: los
_pantalones TheNewDeal if physical delivery is too much fuss then btc settlement is ok
wywialm: ok, then. for start i would buy put option, delivering 100$ unescrowed, as a sort of unit test, at 0.25 btc per 100$ strike, i offer 0.03 btc, matures in 21 days. is it ok, los
_pantalones or TheNewDeal?
wywialm: los
_pantalones, could you deliver by sepa?
