koop4u themself stated that the timer was overrun. Any big after 161 should not count. As others stated, people timed this, and was counting on sniping. This is the reason I was insistent on a precise time for auction end.
I was in the shower when time come to bid, because forgot about it. But I set an alarm for 23:50, so I can bid.
But to be honest, I was sure this is gonna happen, when new bids come in over time, this is why I continued to bid.
I can live with this outcome, but to be honest, I'm not too happy, because it's not the most fair outcome.

The timer was correct, people asked about the 22:55 prior and everyone was told to ignore that time and only follow the countdown.
the countdown was 100% correct I checked it versus Eastern Daylight savings Time and it checked out perfect. The auction ended right at 4pm Eastern time. Anyone bitching and complaining didn't read the thread or ignored the countdown.
Why not just accept all the bids? Think of how many puppets there must be. At least these people are ponying up real BTC to support this project.
look in spreadsheet ... bids after 161 22:55:07 is after the ends of countdown ... thats unfairthe countdown was 100% correct I checked it versus Eastern Daylight savings Time and it checked out perfect.

He answers this right here if you cared to read the actual thread of the project you were bidding on.

Here is the most accurate Count Down!
This Clock will be posted on the main page, and occasionally on all new pages!
I see only a part of the clock.
And why is the end 22:55 and not 23:59?
Don't know why ... must be some kinda of error! But the count down is right! As soon as the clock reaches the Specified time - Auction comes to an end!
i made a bid, i am hoping that is all i have to do?
do i need to sign up for anything?

In case your bid is the highest, you will be contacted, to finalize the registration process! By that i mean, that we will send you our wallet to collect the bid!

If that is the case then fair enough, but the man himself seems to be stating that it overran.
Not sure how that is a bad thing? Cutting it short would have been grounds for major fail, but letting a few higher bids in? They should all be time stamped, he could roll it back to the one that got in before the true end if that is an issue. I don't think anyone was complaining of that. People were saying it was cut short, which it wasn't.

P.S. - I have a bad and good news! First the bad news:
- The auction went longer with 1min and 24s, which i think it is acceptable - I'm not a machine you know!
People time these things carefully. Considering how much upheaval there's been so far you really should honour the bids that came in at the correct moment. Not doing so isn't right.
If that means I lose what I bid for then so be it.
I wonder how many members forgot about this coin, especially since it's name changed. There are several that would sell at 0.15 btc.
To some it's all about ROI, remember the first adopters joined for free, and others for only 0.005 and 0.01 btc.

I really really believed in this project until today after what I saw I think I and many others have changed a little idea about it ...I think keeping promises, give more credibility to you
really unfair auction, 22:55 is 22:55 and nothing more
I had to give more bids in mind that the cheaters were bidding after time

I think so too. This is just not right.
Auction end was announced at 22.55 by devs. And not two minutes more.
I calculated end time, now I go away empty handed...
Quoting koop4u: "So, if you don't like the way our ship is floating, we can refund you anytime! It is up to you!"
I'm just content with my single stake, but if others want more, you still have two other chances.
1. There are over 1200 members of Node. We will soon be hearing of offers from those that want to sell their stake at auction level prices.
2. If the devs decide to refund the sockpuppets, we can have a 2nd auction for their stakes.
Now on to the NODE launch.

There can't be two opinions. The acution had time limits, all bids after 22:55:00 UTC +2:00 are not valid.
The last bid is #161 6/9/2014 22:54:59 dbgirl

The auction ended at midnight local time and 4pm EST time don't cry foul, you are wrong
the last valid bid is 161 ... any other bid includ my bid 170 is unfair, and shut up cheaters ...
I must admit that the auction "sniping" style wasn't really the wisest move.
Yep, you are right, I was going to bid on the 15 lot, but walked away and came back and it was too late
