Bitcoin Forum

I have been held ASICMINER shares auction successfully, now 85 of them is available. You can see relevant evidence in this post

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=269641.msg2884359#msg2884359

I have sold 386 shares in the previous auction, so I still have 85 shares. And you can see the dividends coming in:

Rules of bidding
( I copied lots from mrb, TAV's post, thanks for sharing.)


- The auction is denominated in bitcoins, and only be paid in bitcoins.
- The auction starts now and will end on 2013-10-04+12:00:00UTC. The end time will be automatically extended 30 minutes any time a bid is placed less than 30 minute after the last valid bid.
- When the auction ends, contact me by PM, tell me your email and bitcoin address for shares to associate.
- You will be given 48 hours from the moment I(or John) give you the address to pay. As soon as your payment clears, within 24 hours I will PM Friedcat to transfer the shares
- If you fail to make payment within 48 hours, we reserve the right to either cancel the sale, or to extend your payment window.
- Prices must be stated in BTC. You must state the number of shares you want, for example “2 @ 1.1” means 2 shares for 1.1 BTC each.
- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. However you can put multiple bids in one post.
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first takes precedence.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify both a price and a max quantity. I reserve the right for asking some of newbie or other bidders to present evidence or pay deposit to prove his/her bid is sincere.

The minimum bid starts at  0.6 BTC per share, with minimum increments of 0.05 BTC.

5 @ 0.6

10 @ 0.85

Am I correct in each shares is producing .02 give or take?

Here's a link to a spreadsheet with all the ASICMINER info.  The last column has all the dividend payouts.  The last few have been under 0.01

As the recently produced 500T hashing power being online or sold, I think the dividend will be up again.

2 @ 0.90

Sorry, to change my bid. Wish this is valid, since my bid is higher than TAT's.

Havelock reports 0.00879957 on 9/25

1@0.85
1@0.95

These are additional bids besides the first one.

2 @ 0.85

45 @ 0.85 same as  ThickAsThieves unless Friedcat confirms shares

To be fair, I'm only requesting as much because I assume I'm trusted and it saves us both time and escrow money, being that I have done a good deal of AM escrows myself, sit on the board, and manage several PTs.

Still ongoing?
27@0.90 with John K if it hasn't ended.

Can you please have friedcat confirm that you own these shares and let me know your bitcoin address?
Once confirmed by friedcat I will transfer 2.7 BTC for 3 shares.

The auction is still ongoing and here is update about this auction.



This auction is interrupted by the unforeseen hacking to the forum, so I decide to let this auction run for another 36 hours. This is the new clock down of this auction.

I still have the shares, and you may see it before you make payments. And I will arrange escrow by more active and well trusted forum member like John, ThickAsThieves or other. I will burden the escrow fee.

frejo	2		0.85		26
ThickAsThieves	26		0.80		0

If not for the hack, the dividend for the next Wed would be paid to the winner of the winning bids. So I will transfer the dividend to the winning bids after I have received the consideration of the shares, as I did last time which was recorded in my "trust feedback":

It is for the unforeseen hack of the forum, so I decide to let the auction run for another 36 hours, if the forum is not hacked again  :)

If the value of AM had gone down in that time would you have?

Would you ask me this question if it had?

Update 0.9@11

Bid to be increased @ 0.05 BTC

did I make it? didnt know the forums were up again :(. I will bid even higher if someone outbid me!

1 @ 0.95

85@0.96

1@0.85

the current bid is 0.96 BTW

I think in fairness to souspeed and gaba your bid should be considered to be 0.95BTC, not 0.96BTC. OP said minimum bid of 0.6BTC with minimum increments of 0.05BTC. Every other bidder has interpreted that to mean bids must evenly divide 0.05BTC.

Allright, 85@1

Summary of winning bids so far:

Username	Quantity		Price		Shares left
lophie	85		1.00		0

The incremental is still held at 0.05, which is a little bit large and helpful for decisive bidder.

35 @ 1.05

3 @ 1.05

2 @ 1.05

10@1.05

85@1.2

OK, you win. I'd rather put a bid on BitFunder at 1.082. :)

But bitfunder is a PT and there is hidden risk as some of other failed PT. Sometimes, the operator of the PT is not scamming but become inactive, the value of PT will be damaged a lot.

Previous bids,

BitThink   10    1.05
gaba   2    1.05
souspeed   3    1.05
jammertr   35    1.05
lophie   85    1.00

It is okay Coco, Weak hands all over.  ::)

No offend. Yes, PT has more risk than direct shares, but meanwhile PT has much more liquidity than direct shares. You could have sold all your 85 shares at 1.3-1.4 yesterday if they were btct PT.

Anyway, good luck to lophie (or some buyers offering higher price). I with the AM price keep growing too, just don't want to buy them at 1.25 now.

Just to make sure this week, The second week of October. I am entitled to the dividends if I win the auction. Correct?

The Escrow. You will pay his fees? You will start the communications with the escrow? right?

You would require the bitcoins, my email to link to the shares and a bitcoin address to associates the shares with. Correct?

1. Yes.
2. Yes & Yes.
3. Yes

Only five hours left.

5 @ 1.25

Auction has ended!

Please arrange escrow and let me know the details.
Escrow via SebastianJu preferred, John K is also fine.

3 shares for 3.75 BTC total.

Please arrange my escrow as well. 1.2 x 82 = 98.4BTC

82? Don't you mean 77?

Checked the time. indeed you bidded before the end of the auction. grats.

so mine is 1.2*77 = 92.4BTC. Please auction poster. Reply with escrow info

CoCO? can we please have a pm, a post on the thread... anything man..... getting nervous here I pulled several coins out of MCXFee for this

I am here. I'm summarizing.

Username	Quantity		Price		Shares left
BenTheRighteous	5		1.25		80

lophie	77		1.20		0

I will organize an escrow service.

CoCo, just a little confirmation from you my friend did you or did you not talk to SebastianJu about being Escrow? Is it something that he went for. I need to know.

Paid
55d66cb44727fd35dbc8c6c7cf1bb6548fe297120742a7995fb798d158b0e7f0

Do you confirm that you paid to SebastianJu and CoCo indeed selected him as the escrow for this auction?

Yes, I paid to SebastianJu as escrow.
Still waiting for reply.

Hi Coco888,

When can I expect my shares and the dividends for this week?

Cheers,

That message doesn't verify?

Yes it does NOT verify. Coco please resign or repost.

Coco, it's been more than 10 days since you started this auction and we still haven't seen proof that you own 85 direct shares.
Please provide proof you own 85 shares or better yet have Friedcat confirm the transfer of our shares to our accounts.

If you fail to do within the next 48 hours, I will have to ask SebastianJu to transfer my BTC in escrow back to me.

Sorry, the last signature was not right. I guess I made some mistake when copy it.

Friedcat, please help us finish the transaction by a "reply all"

Ok, so using the brainwallet service, the messages verify, but NOT to the address that the ASICMiner dividends are being sent to, nor the addresses they're being paired with.

What is going on here? I too can sign messages using any random address I want.


That's just as legit as anything I've seen so far.

This is starting to smell. I'm starting to consider requesting for Sebastian to return the escrow.

Still not verifiable. I am joining the 48 hours refund club.

Would you please tell me when you are about to do this I want to join you as well and ask for refund.

This is taking to long and still no proof of ownership or share transfer.
Luckily I decided to use escrow, guess this is what it is for!

I just send a mail to SebastianJu, asking for refund of my BTC

Did as well

Everyone please, there must be something wrong when I paste the message in the forum. I guess it is because of the enter or space or something. I sent Friedcat and CC everyone of you an email. Please give me some time. This time could not be wrong again.

Got the email. Tried again just to be sure, DOES NOT VERIFY.

The message is very simple this time:


and the signature is:


In the last two tries, the message must be too complicated, and when it was pasted, some invisible stuff were added.

I just verified it. Guys the message is the link and not the message in the link -_-!. However we all sent to the escrow about a refund because it was so so very late. Lets see what will happen now.

Please next time use the quote to write the message, signature and address... you confused us all and looked very very suspicious!

Thanks, lophie.
I will try my best to push this.

It is my mistake, and I will add 20% of the dividends on the top of which I should be transferred, if the transaction is complete. Really sorry for not delivering 100% confidence and trust in this transaction.

Thank you for the gift of 20%, If I may give an example to what I do and always work. Something like this:

Informed SebastianJu to release the escrow, minus the dividend plus 20%.
Thanks for the shares and the additional 20% dividend.

+1

Glad things have turned out okay. I was an interested early bidder and it looked like a hideous scam after the auction for a while there. Seems to have been an innocent mistake and hats off to the OP for offering an additional 20% dividend. Nice touch of generosity.

All's well that ends well.

:)

Sent my PM to release the funds as well. Also my thanks to coco for offering the 20%. Hopefully this concludes the auction.
