Title: [Auction] Random Coin. No Minimum Increments - ENDED Post by: Spazzer on May 13, 2018, 04:41:53 AM Let's play a little game. Up for auction is a physical coin I bought from a Yard Sale for $0.25. Backstory: I stumbled across a Yard Sale near my home town and this Bitcoin physical coin caught my attention. After talking to the residence I picked up the coin and some computer parts for under $40. The old computer parts (including a hardrivex2) were her sons who moved away. I am praying this will be one of those dream stories of the long lost Bitcoin goldmine. The dream? The Coin: Weight: 1oz Metal seems to be Gold plated. Markings on the coin: ADDS APPROVED MJB 2013. Research: Quick Google search brings up a very common coin priced around $3-5. "The souvenir Bitcoin, released in 2013, is covered with pure copper. It can’t be used a physical bitcoin wallet because it has no cryptography key. The 40 mm in diameter token is designed in cryptocurrency-style, in particular both sides of it is decorated with microchip images symbolizing virtual technologies." - Google Starting bid: 0.00000001BTC Min increments: 0.00000001BTC Shipping: Free worldwide. Sniping: No, each bid made in the last 15 minutes of the auction will extend the auction by 15 minutes. Ends: 1 Week or Bitcoin Hits $10,000. Whatever comes first. Note: Please don't ask me for 100 other pictures. The following is all I could find about the coin. Update: Winner of Auction will receive a share of cryptocurrency if any is found on the hard drives.

This appears to be a Chinese copy. If you search “casascius” or “physical bitcoin” on eBay, you will see this coin in the listings. Title: Re: [Auction] Random Coin. No Minimum Increments Post by: wheelz1200 on May 14, 2018, 01:55:58 AM Not here to bid but will follow to see what that hard drive had on it. Waiting to hear the eureka story of someone finding a .dat file from an estate sale or something, good luck to you.

No Minimum Increments Post by: Spazzer on May 19, 2018, 03:35:35 PM As I've received two private messages about hard drives. I want to clarify my comment earlier about sharing anything found with the winner.
I hereby confirm and sign that I will share any crypto that is found on the hard drives with the winner of this auction. The percentage share with the winner will be calculated as follows: Calculation: Total USD Value / (Divided) 3 (Spazzer + Friend + Winner) x (Multiplied) Bid Amount as Percentage (Move 2 Decimals After First Non-Zero Number) / (Divided) Random Bitcoin Block Last Number Value Say $10,000 worth of cryptocurrency was found and the winner of the action bid .00000500 BTC. Example: (($10 000 / 3) * 50%) / 3 = = $555.55 Explained: Cryptocurrency Found: $10,000 / (Divided) by 3 (Spazzer, Friend and Winner) x (Multiplied) 50% (.00000500) / (Divided) 3 (Block 523413) Right now my buddy is trying to get into the locked/encrypted hard drive. The blank one seems unused, but he is trying to restore old backups on it. Running it through some stuff I don't even understand. Winner of the Auction will receive the the Physical Coin and any crypto found through the above calculation. If no crypto is found I will happily send you the hard drives for your own examination if you want. Edit: Fixed math. I might of made it really confusing... However I hope it will generate some fun and interest. People might bid interesting values to take advantage of % calculation, but at the same time the random block number can mess it all up.

Note: I am proxy bidding for Hhampuz (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=881377) who asked me very nicely because he's traveling. He's instructed me with a max amount he's willing to bid total/spend. Disclaimer: For future reference I will not be doing any proxy bids on my own auction after this one. Reason being it feels like conflict of interest. I apologize for the confusion and conflict this has made. Title: Re: [Auction] Random Coin.
