Not a chance a premium will be paid.  Care to place a small wager? Wink  There is enough liquidity over a weeks time on various exchanges to buy 3k in Bitcoins without much movement in the market.


Dunno about premiums, but I'm willing to bet most names on that list would be very reluctant to put money on any of the current exchanges, let alone dick around for a week dripping buys.

This. But would they risk looking dumb by paying over the odds?

Wouldn't the price surge if they tried buying it on bitstamp or something.

source please. looks like a few start-up type people, and not as many wallstreeters as i was hoping for. can't complain though.

This just sample, 37 total

of which 27 are sure to go home empty handed

i'm starting to think people that said they coins might sell at a premium we're right!

I have a feeling one person is going to take the whole lot. The FAQs clarified the auction style.

I'm in the camp who suspects a premium being paid.

My biggest trades were in December when we did a day with over 100K volume on Stamp/finex  and 140K volume on btce and I was trading on both of them at the same time.

Yeah, but that was surreal. A bit of an outlier. (And I was a bit too scared to trade then when the market was so obviously f-ed up, quite stupid in retrospect.)
Ya. I was only trading with 500BTC during the two crashes in December, and on other days I was only trading with 200BTC.

It's expressions of interest rather than registered bidders. There's quite the chasm between getting some info and actually sticking some money on the line. A very interesting list all the same.

Thats called damage control
The registration of eligible bidders started Monday Jun/16 and closes Jun/23.  To register, one has to deposit 200'000 US$ which can be lost if the bid is awarded but not paid in time.  Hard to believe that all those people have already registered; the advantage for early registration is small (tie-breaking).

The submission of bids proper starts Jun/26.

Also, the Coindesk list begins with an Academic.  Why was his name omitted from the post?  Wink

The auction was bearish. Now it's suddenly bullish?!

They've seen how much money the bidders have and now they plan to milk it all out.
Seriously, an actual bank.
Everything in bitcoin is this way. Anything initially seen as bearish and causes a drop gets flipped around later with a bullish spin to seem bullish a cause rise.

Sometimes multiple times such as when the Bitcoin world discovered there's a rather large group of people called the Chinese.

Wake them up. They might like this.

Well, it seems that the list is not quite the list of bidders.  USMS clarification, quoted in the CoinDesk article:
Quote
One of the emails that we sent out this morning inadvertently showed a list of some of the individuals who have asked a question or questions about the pending bitcoin auction.
And, besides, the article says
Quote
the original intent of the email was to inform interested parties about an updated FAQ related to the bitcoin auction.
So the list of bidders may not include any of those people, and may include any number of other people.

is there anywhere in the rules where 1 person/group cannot win more than 1 bid?

I believe it confirms the opposite - that highest bidder can take all blocks if they want all of them.
