Bidders need to email in a signed scan of their bid form, FRIDAY between 6am and 6pm, in a blind auction in which bidders don't see rivals' bids, and the government treats the highest submitted price as the prevailing bidder.

Watching all of the bidders who sold and lost, and all those who panicked with them, buy back soon should be fun.

Everyone should move up their asks to make them pay a premium for their mistake.

Nobody with enough money to buy a block of 3,000 coins is going to bid over the top of the current value on major exchanges. The bitcoin market has been so anemic for months now that all we're going to see are a few low ball offers, and whoever wins will take the lot for a very nice discount. Face it guys, we all want to see a rally, and it will likely happen eventually, but smart money isn't going to dive in on something that is so uncertain in the near term.

Another interesting tidbit from China:

香港比特币大会小组讨论——比特币在中国:现在与未来
Hong Kong Bitcoin Conference Panel Discussion - Bitcoin in China: Present and Future

Quote
Xu Star (OKCoin CEO): "This example of it: the central bank issued a circular said banks can not support Bitcoin transaction, but the bank itself also needs to make money, so they will help us to circumvent this policy to continue to cooperate.

Mining has done well, a lot of mines, China occupies 30-40% of the market, so that China has great influence, if you can force the operator to come together is very powerful. China now needs more cooperation, whether you like it or not, China will be an important role in the field of Bitcoin. Once over the front, regulators will have more responsibilities and tasks."

This Chinese article seems to have an interview with Bobby Lee (CEO of BTC-China) about shady practices of exchanges, in particular leverage trading, and the "five exchanges" pledge to clean up their act,and the fact that Huobi and OKCoin backtracked on that pledge a month after it. (Was that the cause of the late May rally?)

李启元:融资融币是“不健康的恶意做空”
Bobby Lee: finance financial currency [ leverage trading? ] is "unhealthy malicious short"

Bitcoin Conference in Hong Kong (Inside Bitcoins HK Conference) 6 月 24 -25 days held on, CEO Bitcoin China (btcChina) trading platform Lǐ Qǐ Yuán (Bobby Lee), on the Bitcoin currency finance financial business, the media, said: Financial currency financing is unhealthy malicious short. When the media asked "A lot of players think: Prices fell short because someone maliciously" is justified when Bobby Lee agreed.

Bobby Lee said: finance financial currency [ leverage trading? fractional banking? ] is unhealthy thing, although some people want to have this speculative function, but does have irresponsible (players).

[ ... ]
 
Bobby Lee also clear said: Chinese law does not prohibit bitcoins. But he also believes that sophisticated financial institutions, various types of transactions are highly regulated, and regulators clearly Bitcoin transactions done enough: You see some of the sophisticated financial institutions, they are monitored very powerful, banks, ah, ah equity line , on the margin there are very strict supervision. But now there is no regulatory bitcoin, some companies let finance financial currency, it is very irresponsible.

Bobby Lee further explained: you put the coins to me, I might secretly loaned out to others, to sell the price down, then later the price down, buy him back, he earned a lot of money. So if he does not make money, he bought it back, then you become a deficit, so the entire finance financial currency is risky.
 
He referred to the "finance financial currency" business, financial transactions in the traditional model, is not uncommon, but bitcoin regulatory environment compared to traditional regulatory margin trading business as a whole is more stringent.
 
China Bitcoin currency financing business financing, generally rise at the end of 2013. The business expanded investor's trading varieties, but also increased frequency of transactions. But the business model, in fact, not new. In the stock, commodity, foreign exchange and other trading ...... varieties, like business has been very mature.
 
However, due to certain factors, early May 2014, China bitcoin five trading platform (Huobi.com, BTC-China, OKCoin, CHBTC, BtcTrade), industry self-regulation was jointly issued a statement bulletin "pause currency finance financial business." But the reason paused, apparently considering various basis and is not entirely consistent. Feedback from investors point of view, it seems to convey some kind of disagreement: Support was expressed for self-declaration also expressed opposition or contempt.
 
Within a month's time, however short-lived, self-declared after the release, Huobi.com and OKCoin has restored financial currency financing business. This makes the self-declared before, looks a bit awkward.
 
The key issue seems to still fall on the interpretation of financial currency financing business itself, Bobby Lee expressed concern: national governments also have ideas on this matter, and this is part of their reason to suppress bitcoin. So we have not done this thing, and we have been very bitcoin China abide by the rules, do not play with the financing of financial credits, but it does have a number of other exchanges in the mess.
 
Known financial commentator Xiao Lei is expressed similar concerns, he believes, currency financing business financing can be short, the equivalent of financial derivatives, if not the bank for hosting all of the funds entrusted in the trading platform hosting, it is prone to illegal fund-raising and other financial risks: "In fact, greater market fluctuations in the volume of business financing when the financial currency, fee income trading platform to bring Bitcoin is also very impressive, and the opening of business finance financial currency trading platform for bitcoins it is less risky. '
 
Xiao Lei said: At present the central bank's financial attributes bitcoin completely stifled Bitcoin sharply reduced liquidity for Bitcoin trading platform has a greater impact, however small this event for Bitcoin itself influence.
 
About Bitcoin regulation, often involving real-name system, anti-money laundering, the approving authority units ...... so a series of rules developed. Interpretation of the status quo trading platform differences arise, it is understandable today. I believe that with industrial development and in-depth study of the legal experts, the future trading patterns and regulatory bottom line will be more clear.
