5x5 Center Cap (Look into your soul to help this poor distraught panda)

[bigbee99]

As long as we're asking for pieces, if anyone has any spare Maru 5x5 caps, I would be forever grateful

Lol @ all you bums. V cube offered to give me caps if I buy a sticker set for 2 dollars. They will throw a few caps in with it. ^_^ Not bad, V Cube. Not bad. Only thing is they want to do the transaction via paypal and I can't for the life of me get a paypal account. I've been trying for several *years* but the customer support has always failed to get us into our current one, or let us make a new one.

I wonder if someone could buy them for you and tell v-cube to mail them to you?

 

[JLarsen]

Yeah that thought occurred to me but given the success of just directly asking for a center cap I was going to hold off until V Cube confirmed that the only way we could make this transaction was if I had a paypal account. I'm hoping that there's some sort of secret store where I can just go through as a guest and throw in a credit card. Would anyone be willing to help a Panda out to do this if it turns out there's no other way? I'll throw you a 5 spot in the mail, home dog. I'm good on my word and you could always ruin my reputation if I didn't send you the money. =3 Orrr....we could think of some sort of collateral...

TLDR; 5 dollas in mail to send 2 dollars to v cube via paypal lulz

I could buy them for you through paypal for free if you can't do it any other way, if they'll let you do that.

=D Thanks man! You're too kind. Well we don't have to tell them that's what we're doing, do we? We would just put in my address. All they want is their money. They should be sending me the paypal account information soon.

You'd either have to tell them the address to ship it to, or give me your address so I can change it in PayPal, since PayPal sends the address.

Edit: When you buy something. Not if you just transfer money, as far as I know.

 

[JLarsen]

Oh wow it would make you change your address? Is that a lengthy process? If we can avoid telling them we probably should. (Bending the truth has gotten us this far hasn't it?)

Nah you just click "Add new address" and type it in.

 

[JLarsen]

Awesome. Are you sure you don't want any compensation?

Off Topic: Are those PRs in your sig with TF? If so you need to make videos. I would watch that so hard.

I want moar!

Yeah it's fine. You can PM me the address and what to buy.

Off Topic: Those are my Fridrich COR PBs. My TF times are getting down there though. I only have one video of TF and it's just a single.

 

[JLarsen]

I'll PM you the info when I get the other info V Cube. Again, I appreciate it so much. I'm gonna try some more TF solves now =3

Offtopic: Are you just doing OLL PLL or do you actually know CLS?

No problem.

Offtopic: I insert the corner, then insert the edges while orientatating the edges (ESO), then do the corner orientating OLLs. I'm going to learn the TF-specific CLS (CSO) once I generate some nicer algs.

 

[JLarsen]

Hmmm. I figured the edge insertion included orientation. Which CLS algs don't come up while using TF? The ones where the corner is solved? Isn't it solved sometimes?

If you do the CLS step before ESO, you don't have to worry about the DF edge, and don't have to worry about keeping the edges orientated, so algorithms have a potential to be shorter. For example, U R U' R' U R U R' U' R U R' goes to U2 r U' r' U' r U r'. I'm still generating these though. I have a thread with all my algs in the guides section.

(I will probably be replacing quite a few of the algs in the CSO section though)
