so the 48 hour thing is impossible since it'll take nearly 7 actual days to get the bitcoins
It is your responsibility to ensure that there are enough available funds before placing a bid. Honoring terms and conditions and the liability that comes with a bid are key principles for every auction, especially when time is critical and the value of goods is volatile. Your retreat has immediate and significant consequences and therefore I left you a negative trust rating, which I may revoke, if come up with an adequate compensation, and encourage others to do likewise.
This is very unfortunate now.
CanaryInTheMine's was completely outbidded by stslimited and Kouye's decision was based on previous bids.
I didn't preconceive such a scenario when I created the auction terms, so there is no basis to act upon and I offer to retract those two bids.
For the ease of the auction I consider those bids as no-bids and encourage all participants to place a new bid or to confirm the old bid, if desired.
All terms of the original post still apply.
Yeah, I'm too illiquid right now in bitcoin, blame the various infrastructure problems in the securities market, coinbase, etc. I posted as soon as I realized it would be impossible to adhere to the 48 hour terms. Hadn't kept up with coinbase's liquidity problems. I know you are familiar with these issues so thats the best I can do on this matter, and apologize.
To clarify, are you encouraging others to give me a negative trust rating? I'm obligated to be defensive about that, the aforementioned reasons are why. I have other and larger trades and traders to vouch for me.
