Bitcoin Forum

Willing to rent out signature and info panel section for six months (or more).

Terms:
*I can post up to 40 characters (excluding markup) in my signature at any point of my choosing saying whatever I please. (I don't intend to take advantage of this, but might put an escrow link back in if I start again)
*I want it all upfront, or with half in m-of-n escrow with a third party (at your expense), paid at completion of the contract.
*Failure of me to uphold agreement can be penalized for days where it's proven or reasonably estimated I failed to uphold the agreement as determined by a third-party arbitrator we both agree to (if we should disagree). I will not be held liable for the arbitrator's expenses/fees. Complaints must be registered with me directly before any penalty can be applied.
*A minimum of 30 posts per month is guaranteed. Any month where 30 posts are not made, each post not made under 30 will be counted as a penalty equal to 1/200 of winning bid from this auction. (e.g. if I make only 20 posts in, say, September, and the winning bid was 2BTC, I'd pay ((2/200)*10); .1BTC) -- Averaging my stats out, I make ~112 posts per month, but this isn't guaranteed. ETA: I'll keep track of how many posts I make per month in this thread for you.
*"Six months" is calculated as the day of the month six months (or as specified in the bid if different) in the future plus 14 days from the time a winning bid is selected. (e.g. if a winning bid is announced by me at 10pm, August 11th, the contract would expire at 10pm, February 25th)

Reserve set at .1BTC. All bids must be 5% higher than previous bid with a six-month term (you do not need to account for bids made with a term greater than six months). All bids without a term specified will be assumed to be for six months. All bids must be public. I reserve the right to reject bids for any reason (most likely, if I think it's scammy) and am not bound to select the highest bidder. "Lifetime" terms will be considered (the minimum bid for such is 5BTC).

The auction will end at 9pm (US Eastern), August 11th.

;D Confirmed! Thanks.

ETA: As an aside, I'm totally fine with changing signatures as the payer wants (within reason). You could resell this contract, and I'd be just fine with that so long as it's not advertising something scammy.

Bit over 5 days left!

.21

Is the bid we post the price we pay per month or for the 6 months?

Thanks! Total, for the six months (+14 days).

Bump. Auction ends today in ~15h25m from this posting time. There'll be no bid time extensions if bids come in near the end of the auction. Sub-leasing the signature is allowed, keeping in mind it can't conflict with conditions set in OP - but you can set your own extra conditions with a bid if you'd like (keeping in mind I'm not bound to take the highest bid).

Hey Legendary. U have posted it in a wrong section. Auctions should go under Auction sub-forum => https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0 :P

I intentionally tried to keep this out of auction subforum. This isn't a standard auction and the rules here are unnecessarily a PitA.

ETA: Wait, if I can move threads out of the auction subforum, what's even the point of the no-edit rules there? What prevents me from moving thread to an edit-enabled subforum, editing OP, then moving thread back into auction subforum?

I bid .2205 BTC for 6 months. I would make a bid for the lifetime option but I don't have that kind of money.

Thanks! Confirmed.

damn you should have gotten moore for yours since ur lengendary

.29BTC (last bid)

I'm overbidding with +5%.

.31

105% of .29 is .3045. and 5% over that is ~.3197 and that is more then I can confidentially say I can over a 6 month period.

I guess it is yours assuming he accepts your bid and no one outbids you.

+5%

aaaaaand...... auction's now over. Thanks all.

+5% on your +5%

Best of luck next time :)

i literally posted the same second as him, i got the *warning new message do you want to review" so i had to press twice.

Its up to him though, i'll do even 0.4 :P

Kluge, PMs, Skype, some other IM?

I'll take dicebitcoin's original bid of BTC.31 on the assumption that the ad is relatively small and because I still feel indebted to dooglus.

I thought size matters.

Oh, well.

Have a good night.

Damn, missed the auction ;(

Il go .5BTC :P

The above 5 posts literally happen everytime someone is auctioning off something good. I mean, literally everytime. When will people learn to use the 15-minute rule?

I was worried about having to stay up late (heading to bed after this post). I think next time, I'll have a minimum bid amount scheduled by time. If auction period is a week, the minimum bid for day one might be BTC.1, BTC.2 on day two, BTC.3 on day three, etc. up to BTC.7 -- so there could be a "bidding war" on day one where the bids go to .15BTC, and that could be the valid highest bid until day 7, and if someone wants to bid on day seven, they can only bid if their offer is >BTC.7 (otherwise, it goes to the guy who bid .15BTC).

-Or maybe I just won't be an idiot and set a time where I don't have to worry about staying up late. ;D

I'll be "liberally interpreting" these rules to fit the current situation which was unanticipated and not properly accounted for in the vague contract (and I handled escrow?!).

Since I've made ~200 posts since the beginning of this contract (while only obligated to make 30/mo), I will be counting each day since the beginning of this contract as fulfilled days even though it doesn't equal an entire month. The number of days between now and the contract's end date, February 26th, 2015, is 169 (including the end date). Using the above scheme, I will thus count these as days where I did not make a post (treating days as valid parts of a month, and that a "month" of the contract can legally be subdivided) and will be removing my DiceBitco.in signature, resulting in the return of .31*(200/169), or BTC0.26195. These coins will be sent to Dicebitco.in's known cold wallet address, 19tQNCrmaW6EADfJrtBaRixRkPyVrvb6yk in 24-48 hours unless I'm properly convinced to do otherwise.

As of now, though, I do consider myself to be free of the contract.

No objection registered. Partial refund sent. 682258ee449a44a554b18ad59f8c09697648d141a4354880d937cadf3a5911b2
