General information

You are ONLY bidding for the coin itself, not the bitcoin value inside the coin. If you win a coin, you can choose to buy it loaded which will add the BTC to the auction price. Or you can choose to buy it empty. To the US we can only sell coins that are not loaded by us. The "empty" coins can easily be loaded with bitcoin value by the customer himself/herself, however.

The denomination of the coin is 0.5 BTC.

Shipping cost and duties

Free of charge worldwide! The value of this is around 50 € on average depending on the location, so keep that in mind when bidding. Smiley

The auction price includes the possible VAT, import taxes, and duties. We pay for the courier company to handle the customs clearance as far as possible. Some forms or contacts to customs may be needed, but not likely. Therefore, you are not paying anything except the price you have bid.

Serial numbers

All the coins have special auction serials (A). The serials reserved for the coins in this auction are A302, A303, A304, A308, A310. These are very special since all the coins sold at the website have either L (loaded) or E (empty) serials.

The winners of the auction can (in succession starting from the highest bidder) choose which serial they want. It can be the lowest available but also one of the others. You have 5 days to answer which serial number you want, after that you get what is left.

Shipping date

The coins are pre-assembled. Estimated delivery within a week from the end of the auction.

How to bid

You can bid for any amount of coins from 1 coin to 5 coins. The bidding format is "Nickname 2 @ 0.2" which means "I'm bidding for 2 coins, 0.2 bitcoins each". If you want to bid for one coin only, post "Nickname 1 @ 0.2". If for all of them, post "Nickname 5 @ 0.2". The auction is conducted by using at most 3 decimals. So you can bid "2 @ 0.211" but DO NOT bid "2 @ 0.2111".

So if I were bidding for 2 coins and 0.2 BTC each, I would post "Technomage 2 @ 0.2". If you forget to add your nickname, the bid will not count. So don't forget. It is much easier for us to record the bids when the nickname is also posted.

Each winner will pay exactly the amount that they bid. Meaning that if the highest bidder bid 0.4 bitcoin and the lowest winning bidder bid 0.2 bitcoin, then the highest bidder will pay 0.4 bitcoin for his coin and the lowest winning bidder will pay 0.2 bitcoin for his.

Auction rules

- When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.
- All bid prices must be evenly divisible by 0.001.
- If two people bid at the same price, the person who bid first will be first in line to win a coin.
- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify the nickname of the bidder, the price of the bid and the amount of coins the bidder is bidding for, or if they could not possibly win any slots.
- Winning bidders must inform me within 24 hours after the end of the auction which serial number they are choosing. Then the winner has another 24 hours to pay the full auction price.

If these rules are confusing, please ask in the thread and we will answer.

We will reserve the right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. If bids are rejected for any reason, the next bids in line that didn't win originally, will come into play and will have a chance to buy a coin.

Important: Auction payments should ONLY be paid through this BitPay Checkout page: https://bitpay.com/m/750380/checkout. Do not, under any circumstances, make payment to a Bitcoin address sent by PM.

Note: If you can not send a direct message here please use the email address store@denarium.com

If you don’t want to send your address through Bitcointalk private message, then you can also use Privnote service https://privnote.com/#

If you can not use the Bitpay because they now require a Payment Protocol compatible wallet, please mention that and we will provide you different Bitcoin payment option.

Good luck!

Could you make high bidder count?

Will like to see if this rule are applied or not. I think not but nice to know. I am at my BTC limit and looking for a cheap bid ;D

>- Bids are considered invalid and will be ignored if they do not specify the nickname of the bidder, the price of the bid and the amount of coins the bidder is bidding for, or if they could not possibly win any slots.

Current winners:

Ramelius @ 0.115 BTC
888cj @ 0.115 BTC
888cj @ 0.115 BTC
JanEmil @ 0.111 BTC
bavicrypto @ 0.102 BTC

So the nickname rule for bidding is not being applied?

>- If you forget to add your nickname, the bid will not count. So don't forget.

comit 1 @ 0.105 BTC

Accepting that bid that was the wrong format was a mistake. I will not revert the acceptance as we don't think that these current bids are the final winning bids.

Just to clarify and be consistent with our own rules, these bids would not count as real winning bids. So be sure to use the correct bidding format!

Damn...i missed out..got the time mixed up

Didn’t the auction end after my last bid? (as there were no more bids within 3 minutes)

3min after last bid seems hard with the website constantly going on and off today..
@denarium Let us know if the auction is finished or still running please

Just in case: bavicrypto 1 @ 0.126

The auction rules didn’t specify anything about forum downtime. By the way, forum hasn’t had any downtime the last couple of hours (unlike the rest of the day).

I could also make a case that my BitcoinNewsMagazine 1 @ 0.128 bid at 10 seconds before 20:00 UTC was the winning high bid but will leave it to @Denarium to sort out.

Would also make sense to me, as they don’t mention anything about an actual EXTENSION beyond 20:00UTC. I quote:


So it should’ve ended right after BitcoinNewsMagazine 1 @ 0.128 , right?

Looking forward to denariums respond

Could live with that.

True, they didn’t specify anything about forum downtime. @denarium maybe something to include in the next auction. Especially on days like this.

 >:(
UTC time made me confused
But good. Could not afford it anyway.

A countdown timer would help for sure.

I agree..Comit...yours was the last bid...nobody bid after you within three minutes

Ramelius 1 @ 0.13
BitcoinNewsMagazine 1 @ 0.128
hybridsole 1 @ 0.125
Comit 1 @ 0.123
bavicrypto 1 @ 0.122

A snipe in this format would have occurred at 19:57:00 UTC and have had all other participants fall asleep for 3 minutes to end at 20:00:00 UTC. 3 minutes were added to the clock at 19:59:40 UTC and the last valid bid was at 20:02:40 UTC. The only questionable part of the auction terms would have been if this ended at 20:00:00 UTC or 20:00:59 UTC but this did not play a factor in the bidding.

fake payment pms are being sent from Denarium imposter. Check the "activity" and "merit" of any Denarium PMs
Real account has 37 activity and 1 merit

Man... Forum was down for half the day for me. I just decided to jump late and found these...

Nice buy everyone, I would have loved to have a 1/2 oz gold bitcoin for that price.

Do you still have more of these coins and are there any plans to have another auction?

COMIT>>>>Yes it does seem so... ::)

These coins should have been designated lots 1 thru 5.

So much unnecessary confusion really..and Denarium should have been here in the last 30 minutes to clarify and update the highest bidders list.

I also see Ramelius only won one coin according to Teegumes list...shouldn't it have been two?

I mean I see that was his intention there..that is, to bid on two coins.

Why would he bid higher when his first bid was one of the winning bids??

Yes the rules says what it says and if that's the case then the latest bid cancels the the first one????  

If 5 lots were designated one for each coin all of this would have been avoided. :P

Absolutely, this auction won't win the professionalism price!

I haven't been contacted in the meantime, Denarium hasn't been online since yesterday afternoon... ???

And you are right about teeGUMES list, it should be as follows:

Ramelius 1 @ 0.13
BitcoinNewsMagazine 1 @ 0.128
Ramelius 1 @ 0.127
hybridsole 1 @ 0.125
Comit 1 @ 0.123

Anyway, looking forward to where this is going. ::)

Agree..thats the way the winning list should be bro!

Everything else was a total clusterfuck  :o

VERY good price on auction
https://denarium.com/product/denarium-1-2-btc-gold

Where is @Denarium? Would have expected him to check in by now with official auction results.

Based on following auction rule:
“When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.”

The 0.13 from ramelius should therefor replace his previous bid of 0.127.
Teegumes list should therefor be the correct one:

Ramelius 1 @ 0.13
BitcoinNewsMagazine 1 @ 0.128
hybridsole 1 @ 0.125
Comit 1 @ 0.123
bavicrypto 1 @ 0.122

Unless they say that 20utc was the actualy stop time or....
I don’t even  care anymore at this point, just let us know the winning bids please.

Thanks

Annnd this is Denariums response so far>>>>> ::)


https://talkimg.com/images/2024/03/01/fe6VJ.gif

All bids should be awarded a coin ;D

'

I like that idea!  I second that!  :D

Agreed! 8)

if anyone is going to receive anything...  ::)

Winners are

Ramelius @ 0.13
BitcoinNewsMagazine @ 0.128
Ramelius @ 0.127
hybridsole @ 0.125
Comit @ 0.123

Congratulations. We will contact the winners soon. Next auction will be improved.

All bidders who did not win will be awarded a free Denarium Custom Gold Plated coin (E-series). Just contact us by PM with shipping information (phone number included) to redeem that.

Thankyou for your generosity!  :D

Thank you :o

awesome thank you love your coins

Hello,

We have a new list of winners. Like teegumes and bavicrypto has been said: “When you post a bid, the bids in your previous posts are considered to be automatically canceled. You can put multiple bids in one post, however.” Our auction representative fell ill during the auction. We are sorry the auction did not go professionally. Inability to access Bitcointalk during the last day was also making it more difficult.

Ramelius @ 0.13
BitcoinNewsMagazine @ 0.128
hybridsole @ 0.125
Comit @ 0.123
bavicrypto @ 0.122


This is now the correct list according to our rules. We appeal to our "right to reject bids, even days after the bid is made. If bids are
rejected for any reason, the next bids in line that didn't win
originally, will come into play and will have a chance to buy a coin."

Ramelius made a new bid which replaced his current valid bid. Our auction fill-in worker is not usually handling these, and therefore our mind-bending auction rules caused a human error.

From now on we will auction only one coin at the time with more simple rules.

If anybody on the list (max 1) get cold feets I will happily take the bid.

Any winners besides me who don't use Bitpay Payment Protocol still waiting for @Denarium to send an alternate payment option?

Yep  ::)

@comit I got sent an alternate payment link today you should have one in your inbox.

Received no. 2 you can see it registered on the Denarium site at this link (https://status.denarium.com/coin/#/A303). Shipping was fast, great communication.
