Despite the expense, Draper calls himself a "believer."

How great! Nice read, thanks.

Apologize for not reading the whole thread...

Is the coins sold, and what was the price per bitcoin (approximately)?

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.
The big question is - will it be sold at street value, or will they have a bid war to the top?

protip: just because something is visible at blockchain.info, that something is not necessarily embedded in The Blockchain.
But it *is* possible to embed messages in the blockchain, isn't it? Only it is strongly discouraged, I gather?
I would say that it is less discouraged and more that you would really need to know what you are doing to even be able to decode the message, making it a bit of a moot point if you are trying to communicate to the masses

Reading the weird messages from the dust transactions to the address is entertaining Grin
That's another great advantage of bitcoin over the obsolete payment systems.  You would never get such fun as spam, hate mail, and mockery on you bank account statement.  Anonymous messages that you cannot erase and everybody can read.  Way to go, bitcoin.  Tongue

Even if it is not embedded in the blockchain, blockchain.info is large enough so that the public notes work well enough for this purpose.

Thanks for the correction.  Does blockchain.info provide a way to protect people from such unwanted associations?

Is this going to fuck up the market?

This represents a little over 1% of all bitcoins. I would say yes it will

This probably will double the number of bitcoins in circulation on the other hand
It would not double the number of bitcoins in circulation, but in theory will make the bitcoins in circulation more diverse as Draper is going to try to get people to use bitcoin who do not currently have access to bitcoin

Rumor said one person bid $900, is he the winner? I guess if he bid one lot at $900, all other @625, then the final price will be 625, am i right? We all expect some bullish move when the price released.
No you would pay the amount that you bid as long as it is the highest.

You are thinking about how ebay's auctions work in that if the next highest bid is $600, then you would only pay one increment above that bid.

As a teen I occasionally amused myself by writing cryptic, humorous or prankish notes on paper currency.

So buy when it hits the lowest point then?

Always a good plan
