We've posted the payment address in the original post. This address is the same address that we used to receive payment after our last auction.

Payment sent. Thank you! Perhaps Bobby can send his business card and signature as well? Smiley

I think I won. Lol.

I sent Bobby a DM today to ask about payment address.

You did. I think the lack of communication is because of my previous comment.

So you essentially paid .5BTC for a super rare coin, not bad considering the first count auctioned went for 7 or so BTC over the 25 BTC spot.

Yes, I believe everyone else was either asleep on or vacation. I think OTOH was on vacation Wink

In my opinion, you got this for an absolute steal. People were watching... don't think otherwise Wink There are just not many of us with 50+ BTC lying around Grin

Great score man. Really!! Hope you cherish this. I know I would!

+1 this. I was going to bid more had not I am unsure if I'll be away on a vacation in the coming weeks. Smiley

so 51.2 btc was the winning bid?

I would assume so.. Huh Was wondering the same thing earlier.

It is Chinese Holidays until October 7th, but I would have thought someone from BTCC would have updated this thread?.

If shipping to USA won't be much of a trouble/no customs issues that I'm assuming you guys would handle.

50.7BTC

Edit: Acutally will have to retract my bid because I won't be able to pay within 72 hours of the auction end date, and that shipping would be a huge hassle.

Don't use bitcoin.de if you care about privacy!
How does shipping work if I am located in the USA? Will you guys ship it directly to me?

I would assume this shiny block gets deliverd in person by a nice Bitgirl^^  Grin

Heh, hope it doesn't come back to bite you starting the bid at 50 BTC instead of 50.7. I'd say theres a decent chance of Canary winning it at 50, due to the lack of people with 50 BTC laying around to bid with.

Guess we wait for Otoh Grin

You're telling me most people don't have a secret wallet holding $30,000 of currency? huh, I guess I have to rethink priorities.

These pieces are very cool and definitely a neat way of storing your coins.
I have a couple of questions. Out of curiosity, how does a bar get double funded? Is the finding process automatic or are the Bitcoins manually sent from a freshly mined block?
Secondly, since you're dealing with a high amount of BTC, what form does the private key come in? Is it engraved into the bar?

When they hit 2 blocks back to back and can not change the script fast enough. The key is like Casascius and is mini key. Michail1 came up wth a nice how-to redeem guide
