Also I am deleting my "troll-bid". I am here only to watch.
Sorry, cannot edit or delete in this thread (obviously).
. If you OP can, feel free (but not asked) to do so. :-]
I have a simpler suggestion which would work without deposits. People biding would sign some message (perhaps the bid itsself) with bitcoin address with sufficient balance (and PM the address).

why are you bidding btc worth more than 4000 EUR on a 10GH/s device? This is insane.

And yes, I know this is below the 10 current high bids.

Yeah, it's a lowball offer - but I'm just helping provide a datapoint for 'price discovery'.
Even at that price I feel it's an extravagant (for me) risk.

What's the point of this bid when the lowest you can bid to win these is 61 BTC?
The point is what I stated above:
'a datapoint for price discovery'
- in other words - to help those in the business of selling these things, to note that not everyone who is in the market for mining gear (which I still potentially am, depending on offerings) will pay those prices.
I consider the risk of large amounts of hashing power coming online to make the prices of 60BTC way too risky. I may well be wrong of course.
The drawcard for this particular sale, and my guess why it's gone so high is that there is presumably quick shipment, but even then you have to weigh up the risks of problems in shipment, including taxation/holding by customs, breakages etc.

Please do not clog up the thread with such bids - I've deleted a couple of '1@0' and '[email protected]' when the bids were around 50-60...
Sorry John, I'll keep out - although there is much 'noise' in this thread that didn't seem to attract rebuke - and my post had a point (albeit misunderstood it seems).But for the sake of curiosity - do you mean you don't want anyone to bid even a little under what the current offers are? Surely there are potentially a few cancellations?

PS: But please do not overdo this - and expect your bids to be ignored. If you have an existing bid at higher prices, you cannot effectively cancel it by rebidding lower.
0.1BTC tip to the dealer for keeping control of the table!
Expect it... as soon as Blockchain.info gets their shit back online so I can use my hot wallet.
Thanks

Hey, this is BTCitcoin.
If there's a need to prove that you are a legit bidder, issue all bidders a random 3 or 4 digit number by PM. That number of Satoshis must be sent to friedcat from an address having enough BTCitcoin to satisfy the bid. That will confirm availability of funds. If the funds aren't there, reject the bid.
Bidding can remain public while bid confirmation can be private.
Bidders at high price auctions are usually required to prove they are legitimate, often with a bank letter, but sometimes with a deposit.
I'm actually surprised this hasn't become the norm here yet.
A couple of auctions here last time required deposits just in case the bidders were joybidders. I'd let this go for the moment as friedcat didn't think about this before, but anyone who tries joybidding will be posted to the Scammer accusation subforum at the very least now.

Yeah, a deposit would a good way to solve this - but the auction is already on. Please note that I will be deleting thread-crapping posts or obviously trolling bids to keep this thread on track. Anyhow, I am sure that yochdog for one will honor his bids, thus effectively placing the auction at a minimum of 10@60. There's still no reason to doubt other bids though - there's still a long time to go for the auction to end.
