Likewise! Got the 2BTC and decided to sell off for now, wait to buy back in maybe after the weekend (if we get the famed "weekend drop"). :-)

I also wish I had seen the bad news and sold at $4.90 instead of $4.60 -- only to see it go back up to $4.75. Ah well, win some lose some.
I did just the opposite. Sold heaps at 4.90, then bought back heaps at 4.60. By luck though, since I don't daytrade. Tongue

how do you accidentally buy and sell coins  Huh

Did you just keep the price propped up so you could win this contest just now? Only to let it fall afterwards? Roll Eyes
LOL, yes, me and my ~$150 worth of BTC kept prices WAY up there... I wish. I also wish I had seen the bad news and sold at $4.90 instead of $4.60 -- only to see it go back up to $4.75. Ah well, win some lose some.

Was the official stopping time 2012/03/01 23:59:59? (As in, something like four and a half hours from now?) Or was it 23:59:00? Anyway, looks like I'll be close, but there's at least one other right near me. Isn't this like the Price is Right? Closest to the actual price without going over? :-)

Official stopping time was "2359", which could be either one (it probably won't matter, but if it does, I'll simply do a coin flip).  Damn, should've thought of that...
Yep, it's between you and Serge at this point Smiley
From: http://bitcoincharts.com/t/trades.csv?symbol=mtgoxUSD&start=1330646340&end=1330646399

1330646346   4.9213   0.1
1330646357   4.92139   142.2359
1330646387   4.9213   3

Looks like I win. Wow! Unless you disagree, you can send the 2BTC to:
177MjQfJxhx3KBAyLNJhnQNNChWDAGe6ez

(On a related note, I think this might be the first time I've won any contest -- not that I've entered many.)

You do win, once again proving that Serge can't win anything.  Shame on you, Serge. Tongue
I'll get the money to you and electricbees soon.

I am going to inject a million dollars into Bitcoin in order to get the price to $250 just in time.

Then I will celebrate my 2 BTC victory!!!

given the logarithmic scale the price above maybe closer than the one below, but i'm not sure how ineededusername would measure that. 

funny we have extra day i thought this thing was over yesterday )  $5 here we come!!! - i rarely win anything, no big hope on this one too but would be nice for a change Smiley
