Topic: [AUCTION] Casascius 25 Original 2011 (Read 2617 times)
Congrats to the winner, and the seller.
If anyone has a 25btc for sale in the US, I might be interested, definitely give preference for graded coins.
Offer for a Series 2 graded MS-67?
Nice premium building on this auction...I suppose I'll have to cut out of work to watch this auction finish!
Better hurry, cause it ended last night.
Today MDT is -7 hours from UTC. On Nov. 6th of this year MDT will be -6 from UTC.
MDT (Mountain) is currently -6
Ah, shit I got the hours from UTC confused between MDT and MST. Sorry for that all! Thanks for the correction. I'll double check my comments next time - i think this one was late at night.

Looks like Throwawaydev400 is the auction winner. Please PM contact information to Casascius and myself. As soon as possible I will deliver the coin to Casascius.Thank you all, I look forward to more auctions in the future.
As it may be of interest here's a 25 BTC Series-1 that I won a couple of months ago, got it for 26.5 BTC @ approx $1,200/BTC = $31,800 or when we actually exchanged, on the 21st April, it was approx $1,246/BTC = $33,000 including delivery in person to London from Estonia.
Coin is real nice, firstbit's addie has a small smudge on it from when originally produced.

So, it ends tonight. Midnight for his time zone (MDT)
That is 6AM UTC (Forum time)
Just watch the forum clock on the top right. Less than 12.5 hours to go.
(Time zones makes this fun for sniping.)
Today MDT is -7 hours from UTC. On Nov. 6th of this year MDT will be -6 from UTC.
Uhh, no.
DST = Daylight Savings Time. It started on Mar 12th. So, we are in xDT time zones.
PDT (Pacific) is currently -7
MDT (Mountain) is currently -6
CDT (Central) is currently -5
EDT (Eastern) is currently -4
On November 5th, we go to Standard Time zones ( xST)
PST -8
MST -7
CST -6
EST -5
Current UTC time is (with Pacific and Mountain examples):
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20170507T170000&p1=1440&p2=234&p3=220
Theory and reasons for DST:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time
And to clear up a confusion your computer might display.... When you go to clock to enter your time zone, it will show you Standard Time (PST for example for Pacific), but will either have a checkbox for observing daylight savings or simply do it for you based on the calendar date but will tell you that it is currently observing this change. Yes, Windows has a checkbox asking if you're in a DST zone. There are very few places that have an exception to the DST rule (like Arizona).
Term: Spring forward / Fall back
In November, it is fall. So, the clocks will fall back (extra hour of sleep). So, for MDT -6, it will change to MST -7
PDT -7 will go to PST -8
(edit: confirmation. Bitcointalk is on UTC. Time of my post was 5:27PM; however, I am in PDT -7, so it is 10:27AM right now)

wouldn't it be better to just use Countdown Timer

btw, what's MNT? I see MT, MST & MDT, but not MNT, is it minus 7 hours from UTC, ie the same as PT 6.55 AM presently?

It's unofficially the same as MT, MST, and MDT. Someone is trying to abbreviate "Mountain Time" in the US. Officially it's referred to as "MT=Mountain Tim", "MST=Mountain Standard Time", or "MDT=Mountain Daylight Time".
Standard time vs. Daylight time refers to the months when the clocks shift an hour in the US. In the Spring (Mar 12 this year) most of the US moves the time forward 1 hour. This time remains until Nov 5 (this year) when most of the people in the US move the clocks back an hour. It's an antiquated rule that was originally set to allow farmers more time to work in their fields near harvest time.
Today MDT is -7 hours from UTC. On Nov. 6th of this year MDT will be -6 from UTC.
bidding over myself in case I can't get to a computer during the auction end... 28.1BTC
The current problem is that Otoh and LesbianCow know about this auction which means I have little chance of getting it, let alone a great deal. 
I agree on this ^^^ I expect a flurry of last second/millisecond bids
Last time I dealt with this by stating that any bid automatically extends the auction to x minutes after the last bid
it looks like I'm able to edit my message in this thread as well. an auction thread might not work right if editing is allowed (isn't there a subforum or an option to disable editing/deleting for auction threads? maybe a mod can set it on the thread? etc.)
