Hi,

As per the title

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=177827.msg1886621#msg1886621

My starting bid is what I paid for them, which is BTC6.88. I'd expect whoever bought them from me to cover the fiat fees involved (shipping etc) which are detailed in full on the first post of the above thread. Zefir has a deal with burnin to ship orders in bulk, so you could probably get them to him cheaply, get them burned, then get minng! Also, I'm not sure which batch they're from, but I think it's batch 3 and it should be listed somewhere in the thread.

As far as escrow goes, this is my first auction and I don't really know the process, it's too early on a Saturday morning for me to want to check just yet, but I'm sure we can come up with a reasonable arrangement ITT.

Auction ends 8 AM GMT on Monday!

Here is an OECD paper from 2002 on the nature and future of currency. Anyone wishing to learn a bit more about academic theories of money might find this helpful.

Chapter 2 provides a good history of money.

Chapter 4: 'Intangible Economy and Electronic Money' is an interesting academic discussion on the changing nature of money and 'the shift to the intangible'.

And why doesn't the forum appoint a moderator to shut down the obviously racist threads?
