There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks. dvertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum.

No offense to any well-intentioned newbies this might affect, but I want to ensure a smooth and simple transaction that both seller and buyer are happy with, with no complications.



At the moment, the high bid is 8.5 BTC from Blazed.



In other news, whoever posted this auction to Reddit -- thanks!! Very cool.

Some users prefer to stay somewhat anonymous in this matter so that's why you may be seeing "newbie" bids... Just saying... Some users prefer to stay somewhat anonymous in this matter so that's why you may be seeing "newbie" bids... Just saying...

I have done multiple private deals with JackRilley and have found him to have the means to be good to his word.

I never had any problems when trading with JackRilley - everything went smooth.



Nevertheless, I respect that it is hephaist0s that ultimately decides the rules of this auction. TookDk's Escrow Service

Ok, in this case I'll take TookDk's endorsement of JackRilley as enough to move forward.



Any future newbie bids will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, requiring either proof of funds, use of an escrow to hold the funds prior to bidding, or at minimum some kind of vouching for the newbie by an established forum member.



My apologies for the mixed messages, I'm scaling a learning curve here.

The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again later. The thing you were trying to post was saved as a draft. This limit decreases substantially as your account becomes more established.



I could not post, but I definitely hit submit before 8:01.



either way I thought the auction ended at 8pm as outlined in the original post?



Little frustrated because of the forums limits on my account. I took a screenshot of the error, of course 5 seconds after my clock turned to 8:01 (I hit submit at 8:00:50)

Trying to figure out which is being used for the 30min. Does it end at 8:29:59 or 8:30:35?



Current end time is 8:40 pm EST and Lairew is high bid. Here's the thing: this auction structure is meant to be proof against sniping, since each bid adds 30 minutes from bid time, so everyone has another 30 minutes to consider. There is no reason to wait until the last minute except for the adrenaline rush and the terror of tempting fate.

I literally planned my mothers birthday dinner a hour after the end of this auction so that it would not interfere with it. Unfortunately im going to have to bail out of this auction because of this rule. I do not have a means to bid while at dinner with her and I would not insult her by doing so anyways.



Unless you would be willing to extend the end of the auction to be at 10:30pm? A hour and a half should be enough time for me to finish up and get back to bid. Otherwise all I can do is bid before leaving and hope for the best. I literally planned my mothers birthday dinner a hour after the end of this auction so that it would not interfere with it.

I am sorry for the confusion, I did try to be clear in the original terms. I guess all I can suggest is to make your best bid now and see if it holds.

Enjoy the dinner, family is more important



Quote about the auction I think it isn't correct to accept other bid in this extratime from other users that didn't bid in time (8:00pm).

I disagree. I've had inquiries via PM from other parties who have not yet bid, and there is nothing wrong with watching an auction be extended and taking your time to make a decision of your own.



Don't get me wrong, I am perfectly happy with the price and would be glad to call it a night, but I really would like to stick to the original auction terms. If no one else is interested, then there's nothing to worry about. I disagree.
