Nope, not at the moment. That is something we could look at in future though
So, as the pending bids are not showing. For this auction:

It's worth checking for any unconfirmed incoming transactions here:

The block are processing fine, it's just that pending bids are not showing on the page right now.
The blocks need to count down to 0 before entering "block run" (3 empty blocks before a winner is declared).

I am sorry, I thought it entered "block run mode" as soon as it just needed 3 more blocks.

displaying pending (unconfirmed) bids on the page.
Seems like confirmed bids as well.
Also the auction did not go into "Block Run" Mode.
It seems we are having problems displaying pending (unconfirmed) bids on the page.
If you need to see this for the current auction, please check unconfirmed transactions at the bid address:

i just won 1 btc using blockrun! thank you so much blockrun!
My prediction: Grue is going to continue betting .99 BTC for each 1 BTC you put up. I see his plan and have a good idea why he's doing it.
My prediction: Grue is on Dipsy's payroll. He paid Grue to "win" the two auctions and made a tidy profit of BTC1.145. Why else would he risk 1 BTC to earn 1 BTC? Can anyone come up with a more likely story?Damn, forgot about this one 
You can alway subscribe to the auction by entering your email on the page. You'll then get notified of new bids.
Damn, forgot about this one

Nope, I would not create this kind if relationship with any bidder. The only communication I have had with Grue is after he/she won and I paid the prize.

Can anyone come up with a more likely story?Nah, grue's early posts on this thread paint the opposite picture to him being on the payroll. I have no idea what he's up to either, it can't be the net profit of 0.0001 per auction :p

Thanks for the feedback, we are currently polling a third-party API every 2 mins or so. Occasionally they also fall behind the general network, which is annoying.
When the auction page falls behind, it doesn't affect the auction itself as bids are either accepted by miners into a block, or not. Before a winner is declared, there needs to be 3 blocks released by the network that don't contain any bids to the auction address. If the page falls super-behind for some reason, it won't affect the outcome of the auction as we will process blocks as they come through - it's all verify-able on the blockchain
We're currently working to switch BlockRun over to our own infrastructure (so it won't be behind); but this will take a week or so.
