Title: Yubikey (Mt.Gox Coupon)
Post by: EuroBit on July 08, 2013, 06:08:37 AM
You are bidding on: a MtGox coupon for ordering a free Yubikey directly from mtgox.com (otherwise sold $29.99 by them).
Bidding starts at: 0.1 BTC
Bidding stops: when reaching 1.00 BTC, or when I feel the highest bid is high enough.

The coupon is valid for one month starting today (I just got it from Mt.Gox today).

Happy bidding!

I bid BTC0.1  Is it hight enough?

If 0.1 BTC is not high enough why start with 0.1 BTC.

This yubikey is only guaranteed to work with mtgox, right?

Yea, you are probably right about that. I simply copied a previous Yubikey auction here, to be honest.
So I think 50% of new-price (29.99 USD) in BTC is probably a fair starting bid. What do you think?
Yes - according to Mt.Gox they only work with Mt.Gox - they also offer "unbranded ones", but I don't know if there is a way around then or how they are technically locked to Mt.Gox.

'unbranded' just means no logo on it.

You can only use them on Mt. Gox, because they will not disclose the 'shared secret', that is the code from which (together with the Unix epoch time stamp) the one-time-passwords for verification are computed. This is not to annoy the customers - not disclosing the 'shared secret' makes cloning the yubikey impossible, increasing account security.
