Title: KNC pre-order batch 1-500 order #61
Post by: Vega on June 05, 2013, 01:00:05 PM
Hi,

Selling order ID 61 batch 1-500. Quantity: 1

I also had order ID 30, but already ordered a Jupiter.
As I only have a few posts (I'm a lurker by nature, what can I say) can't ask anyone to trust me, so I'm willing to take the risk:

PM me with an offer if interested.
The best offer in 24 hours will get it, with a slight preference for hero members.

I require payment only after KNC confirmed via email the queue placement transfer.

Vega

There were quite a bit of interest so far, thank you.

As practically everyone asked, let me clarify.
I'll take offers till tomorrow 1 PM (forum time, GMT-1 if I'm not mistaken), then I'll contact the highest bidder.

I don't want to wait too much longer to reach an agreement, because I want to be sure, that there is time for KNC to transfer my pre-order slot, and the new owner to place there order for the rig.

Thank you everyone for the interest. I tried to answer every inquiry as fast as possible. Now I'm gonna get some sleep. Until tomorrow a few answers to questions that's been asked repeatedly:

Yes, this is a "Golden Ticket", from 1-500 batch. I placed the pre-order just hours after KNCminer announced on the forum their plan to built a miner.

I confirmed with Sam that the queue place is valid, and transferable.

This placement practically guarantees one of the first machines shipped.
If KNC ships a few hundred machines per week as they stated in the last newsletter, this order number should have a huge advantage over even a queue number in the middle-high hundreds.

Right now the highest offer is 2.1 BTC. No more 1 BTC offers please, I got six so far. :)

If you have any question or offer, PM me.

Three hours to go.
The highest offer right now is 3 BTC.

Please note, that #61 means that this order will be amongst the first one shipped out. We don't know how many will be shipped per week. In the last newsletter KNC wrote that they'll be able to "ship hundreds of devices a week".

Well, technically it's past 13:00. Also, the time is slow on the bitcointalk server by a couple of minutes...but whatever.

I like that better than bidding up a Jupiter by more than 10% :)

Give me a minute guys, I'm getting flooded with PMs.

Well if an auction stops at 1:00:00 you need to place a final BID before 1:00:00.
The only bid which can count in the auction is placed at 1:00:00, it is the same like in sport games.

Post by: canth on June 06, 2013, 01:13:58 PM
Yup. Only depends upon whether it's forum time or actual time. I didn't notice the 90 second lag on the forum... :/


Title: Re: KNC pre-order batch 1-500 order #61
Post by: Neupleu on June 06, 2013, 01:16:39 PM
Ah ok. Sounds right. So last valid bid 5.5 theoretically if no mystrios PMs come into the game :o


Title: Re: KNC pre-order batch 1-500 order #61
Post by: corrow on June 06, 2013, 01:21:27 PM
I suggest the forum time, cause that is the only synced time for all of us.

Post by: Vega on June 06, 2013, 01:22:14 PM
There were some unforeseen technical difficulties, the forum temporarily blocked more than one bidders from posting because of the rapid bidding. (and another being a newbie, who bid 6.6 in PM)

Also more than one of you noted that time was running fast on the server, there was some lag.

Great, I'm not really sure what would be the most fair decision in this situation.
It would be clear cut if this was an auction site and there were a timer, but this is not the case here. (Even then, on an auction site you don't get blocked for biding too much.)
I can't declare a clear winner.

So when morality fails go with self-interest. :)

This is what we're going to do:

Send me your final bid in PM.
One bid per person only. The highest bid gets the golden ticket.
I'm accepting bid for half an hour.

I'm sorry everyone for this clusterfuck I didn't anticipate this issues (and this level of interest).
