You can't cherry pick posts and claim that it represents a standard. On eBay and all the live auctions I've been to they just do another auction in this situation.

You also can't say that no one else made an attempt to bid; they may have been cut off by ghostgnner.

Hopefully this is all moot anyway.

I didn't cherry pick any posts. It's pretty much the norm especially when it is doing by a newly created account and they can't sign a wallet holding the bid amount when asked.

Sry about all the headache here, might take this one offline. My bitcoin is less than 10btc atm because I lacked the ability to hedge and dumped shares before I got burned,  hence interest here.

You're mistaken, if ghostgnnr flakes then that voids the auction. We're going with common sense here.

No because that's easily exploitable.

A lot of invalid bids are posted in auctions that are just disregarded.

If they had the power to void auctions, the seller could easily register a new account to bump up the price or deny low winning bids.

Its a new account which was dismissed by everybody and no one else made any attempt to bid other than me.

This has been the standard and you can use other threads as reference. If you're going with common sense, then again I have the winning bid.

You didn't. Waiting to hear back from ghostgnner. There were also bidders who reached out to me through email.

To be completely honest, that's a bunch of bullshit.

If ghostgnnr actually has the funds for it and pays 10 bitcoin, then he is the winner.

Else it should be me.  Nowhere was it listed that hidden bids could be accepted and it made it impossible to bid any higher without any mention. That's not an auction.

If you want to actually follow the rules and keep your name intact, I advise you to uphold the standards of the auctions that are held here.

Please keep us updated.

So... I'm pretty sure that the last bid is not a legitimate one.

I believe I won.

what
Use your wallet to sign a message saying something like 'This is Ghostgnner's address' to prove that you own that much. Right now, an account with two posts suddenly posting a stupidly big bid sounds really fake.

Newbie account with 10 BTC bid seems fishy.

Description:

Everything you need to start a Bitcoin derivatives exchange.

A) derivabit.com Domain (http://derivabit.com) & "Derivabit" USPTO Registered Trademark (http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4808:d123m1.2.1)
B) Ruby on Rails app & responsive design, Node.js script for interacting with bitcoind. Full git repo, extensive history with ~700 commits. Originally a call/put option exchange and then changed to a forward contract platform. The git repo history maintains code for each (options & forwards). Includes a FIFO trade matching algorithm I wrote. Created by a seasoned Ruby on Rails developer and a talented graphic designer.
