Thanks!

Actuallly eklogite -- had trouble that payment address.  Can you double check it?  Thx

Whew you guys everyone since my last post is processed for a 0.0100 BTC credit.

Bid more than that, and we deduct the 0.0100 from the total.  You still need to send the remainder to win!

There's a 0.2500 BTC prize up for grabs (benefitting the Bitcoin Foundation!) so don't delay and don't miss out!

Post here if you have questions or problems -- thanks!

OK all of you that posted since my last post you've all been entered.  Four pages is a lot -- I think I'm going to create a new thread now.

Just bid with any total over 0.01 (even 0.012) and we'll deduct from the payment total.

BTW we just awarded two more winners with 0.1000 BTC.  Their winning bids were 0.0034 and 0.0052.  You can see the rest of the bid grid results here:

PLEASE post here to let us know if you have trouble bidding or even figuring it out.

THANKS.

dubstep1323, yakuza699, flagel8: you're set.

Just bid with any total over 0.01 (even 0.012) and we'll deduct from the payment total.  You need to send the remaining amount -- no matter how small -- to the payment address or you'll lose your credit.

PLEASE let me know if you have problems.  Thanks!

New auction posted to benefit android project Replicant:

http://bidforcoin.com/ui/218001

Yes, we're still giving out free bids -- reply here with a payment address.

All,

Now that the free-as-in-libre android project Replicant has a bitcoin donation address, we asked Paul if we could run a fundraiser for them, and they agreed.

If you are looking for a place to spend bitcoins, this would be a decent place for it.

Other auctions to benefit the FSF, the Internet Archive, and the Bitcoin Foundation are here.

Thanks.

donnyc: you're set.

Use that address as your payout address and place over 0.01 in bids, and the 0.01 will be deducted from the total.

Be sure to check out the previous auctions to get a feel for what to bid.  Most winning bids have been small.

Thanks much.

Yeah, a lot of sites are penny-auction (where you pay for your bids before you use them), and a lot of sites auction physical goods or gift cards, and all of those require someone to run the auctions.

We tried to eliminate all that stuff and make it completely transparent and automated.

On our site, you bid small amounts of bitcoin to win large amounts of bitcoin.  And we split the proceeds on each auction with a non-profit like the Bitcoin Foundation or the FSF.

We're still giving out free 0.01 BTC bid credits to try it out.  Reply here with your payment address.

FYI one of our fellow forum credit recipients just won an auction for 0.1000 BTC using a bid credit they got here.

You can see the details here: http://bidforcoin.com/ui/104001

More auctions are live and running and we're eager to give out bitcoin -- please give it a try -- thanks!

Hey, manic won the 0.10 (bitdime?) auction, and 0.01 got sent to the FSF.  Well played!

Results are here: http://www.bidforcoin.com/ui/104001

Also exposed a bug where we're showing all the bids, even the unpaid ones; so we're fixing that.  The JSON feed shows the correct result however.  

We get tons of people bidding but not paying.  (Is the UI cumbersome?)

In any case, we're happy to send out more bid credits to more folks -- just post your payment address here.

Cheers, all.

jefe541: you are confirmed

Just bid with any total over 0.01 (even 0.012) and we'll deduct from the payment total.

Mooshire, manic: you guys are confirmed.

@Mooshire: Just bid with any total over 0.01 (even 0.012) and we'll deduct from the payment total.

@manic: yep, you can pick any auction you want.

We're very much looking for usability feedback so anything you can share is appreciated -- thanks.

We just graduated from the newb forum, and wanted to give you guys a reason to check out yet another new bitcoin site.

Currently, the auction winner gets 0.25 BTC, so you're getting ~$1 (0.01BTC) to bid on ~$25 (0.25BTC).

http://bidforcoin.com

How it works:
* You bid a small amount of bitcoin to win a larger amount of bitcoin, and
* half the remainder goes to benefit bitcoin-friendly causes; and
* everything is transparent, published, fair, and there's even a JSON api.  

To get your free 0.01 BTC credit:
(1) reply below with a payment address, and
(2) we'll reply here to confirm.

To place a bid:
(1) pick an auction on http://bidforcoin.com
(2) enter the same payment address as above
(3) select enough bids to exceed 0.01 BTC (even 0.011 BTC is enough)
and we'll deduct it from your total.

To recap: we're a "lowest unique bid" auction site:
* all bids are secret, and
* the lowest bid that only one person placed wins the auction.  

Again: reply to this post with your payment address and we'll confirm your credit.

Thanks for your help.

leepsteer00, Dlinmin: you're confirmed. 

Use that payout address when you place your bids, and we'll credit you on the checkout.

OK ay28 - you're confirmed.

Just place a bid that is more than 0.01 BTC (even 0.001 over) and it will automatically credit.  Thanks!

Yzord, you are good. 

jlong187, that payment address isn't validating.  Could you recheck it?  Thanks!

All, another auction just launched.

http://www.bidforcoin.com/ui/113001

We're ramping up the amounts: this one is for 0.2500 BTC.

Half of remaining overage is donated to the Bitcoin Foundation.

Post here for bid credits -- thanks!

Change, your credit is registered.
