What is being auctioned? Why?Its recently been brought to my attention that the 'pool information' section within my setup guides may have been unfair as only a small number of pools were arbitrarily chosen and displayed. In order to fix this, I will be holding monthly public auction between the major pools in order to decide which pools are displayed and in what order.
Ad Format- There are 3 pool slots for sale.
- Final bidding order matters - the top bid will receive the first slot, the middle bid the second slot and the lowest bid the third slot.
- The ads are to last from the 6th October to the 7th November, during which impressions are projected to be 1.0 million per slot.
- This traffic is as targeted as can be - to those who have just bought miners and are looking to set them up and direct them towards a pool.
- Pool slots feature a direct registration link and quick startup information.
Auction Format- Auction will run for approximately 7 days, to end at midnight London time / 3PM PDT / 6PM EDT on Friday 3rd October.
- Post your bid in this thread stated in BTC. If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will have his slot filled first.
- Bidding starts at BTC 1.0. All bids must be evenly divisible by BTC 0.2.
- Only pre-approved pools on the below list are accepted, if your pool is not on the list please contact me.
- You must pay for your slots within 48 hours of receiving the payment address. Otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("dogie", user ID 87869). You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.
I reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. In particular, bids from people with less than 15 activity points are likely to be rejected. I recommend not getting into a bidding war with someone who has less than 15 activity points, as their bids might not be accepted, but your latest bids will still stand. If you need to know right away whether someone's bids will be accepted, PM me.
You must pay for your slots within 24 hours of receiving the payment address otherwise your slots may be sold to someone else. I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("dogie", user ID 87869).

TaxesThere is only tax due to UK bidders, and there is no additional cost to anyone (apart from me). Just clarifying to making sure its a level playing field and collecting any legally required taxes.
US and rest of world - bid as normal.VAT registered UK businesses - will be invoiced an additional 20% VAT on bid prices [which they can later reclaim at no cost]
VAT registered EU businesses - bid as normal, please let me know your VAT number.
Non VAT registered UK - bid as normal, I will pay 20% tax and take the hit.
Non VAT registered EU - bid as normal
