I apologize for the confusion around EST/EDT.  It is too late to fix/change it.  Unfortunately those of us in north america almost always refer to the zones as PST/CST/EST/etc regardless of daylight savings.  It's a name for the time in the area year round, regardless of the technicality around DST.



I don't mean to be disrespectful, and I have no stake in this, but being in the US myself, I will categorically state that you are wrong here.

It's a common problem, but anybody with any knowledge about time, ESPECIALLY people in the computer/programming field, need to know that there's a HUGE difference between EST and EDT, and the time zone (Eastern Time Zone).



Like I said, I have ZERO stake in this, and so am just a potential arbiter, and you are wrong on this point.

We don't even know if it's a bug or done on purpose.

Yes. Yes we do.

Well now - EST and CST were both quoted, and both official times for both of these timezones show the bidding was locked a full hour early. Deal with it.

I did, I got my position before the cutoff. Stop crying.

Hmm, I guess I posted in this thread at a bad time.  At least I'm the only "fool"

UPDATE FINAL:

(Ethan Burnside) Hi all, I'm posting this somewhat blind.  (haven't caught up with the last 10 or so pages...)

TheSwede75 and I have talked a bit and here's what we've come up with:

- 3 PM CST/4 PM EST is the cutoff for bidding.  (EDITED!)


Burnside, you really should honor the time you put, even if it was a mistake.

TheSwede75, You really should honor the time you put (8pm cst). Or why giving times at all?

That said, I don't think it would hurt terribly if Burnside opened the bidding up, for say 5 minutes, to people who had their coins in before the cutoff.

YES, maybe that would calm down some people like me from wanting to push MORE REGULATION on exchanges, like forcing them to delay the IPO when the contract was broken? ...


lol - simply by not following their own shutoff times.... um... yeah... 14 minutes left... bidding locked...

East coast is EST - deal with it.

I think that half of Indiana is the only place currently on EST and there it is actually 3:50pm right now!

Just to make matters worse, this IPO caused a ridiculous crash of ASICMiner.

So not only did I miss out on a great opportunity, I lost a ton of money too.

I'm down a few grand. If I had 10x as many shares in Asicminer I'd probably have punched a wall for not selling out before the crash.

Only because I think that the speculation in ASICMINER share price drop probably is wrong I will point out that there have been several thread on bitcointalk, reddit and elsewhere reporting that share holders are dissatisfied with the latest dividend payment. I doubt a single IPO of 7k BTC could really affect a security of ASICMINER's value (100x+ current LABCOIN Ipo value if I am not mistaken)

You made the IPO to lower the price of Asicminer so you can buy them at cheap price /conspiracy

using the BTC collected during the IPO

Yes yes its the perfect crime

It is 3:48 EST.  The bidding should still be open.  Just that simple.

There are currently 18,704,499 bids for shares listed at or above .001. Did all of those come in before the IPO was locked? If so does that mean
bidders get 37% of shares they bid for (7/18.7)?

Hey,

I am still at work and I really expected to come home and place
a bid for whatever price, before the IPO started.
This morning you have stated we will have 12 hours left.
Just pulling the public offer and leaving everyone else behind is
a big punch in the face to everybody and has nothing to do with being fair.

I wish you would reconsider that decision and open the orderbook again so that everyone
can participate until tonight 8pm central time (so in about 4 hours).


Big bummer!

There was more than enough support to move forward. No reason to delay it any longer.

Asicminer shares have been rather flakey lately in general, the below-average dividend and the upcoming IPOs sure didn't make matters better.

But look, it's climbing up again already, seems like everyone is taking their seats again Cheesy
