Any thoughts on https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1141637.0 ? I only read the OP just now after un-ignoring the Auctions board, and maybe I can't hold the auction here the way I envisioned it.

Repost or move into https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1120034.0 ?

User is eligible for a share of the prize pool only after meeting the following conditions:
    User has placed a bet of at least 3 mBTC on one or more of the English Premier League Gameday 1 matches.

PMed both OP and geheimdienst July 17, 2015, didn't get paid "100$ in BTC".

More demand: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1145013.0

Please send it along with the BTC for my 2 bug reports to the address in my profile.

ETA: Received, thanks.

Kind of an unfortunate domain name. I think bitcoin is used as a plural noun, as in "how much/many bitcoin do you have" more than bitcoins is used in the same place.

Then when you put a s followed by a ch, similar sounding...

Yes, mine.

Damn, not the same set that https://www.litepaid.com/coins accepts.

Was Googling around for a free short string split-key generator (3 letters, case sens, any position) and found this topic.

I see there's a fair bit of patterns in the queue at https://vanitypool.appspot.com/availableWork for whatever this necropost is worth.

Muh roads!

Checked out bitpremier.com yet?

It's there.

local rules: don't quote the OP (as this is a Work in Progress) & don't post nonsense just to boost your post count for ad campaigns

The current value of my listed inventory at fs.tbz1.com (and the crosslinked stuff at tbz1.com) is hovering around BTC25. I have a bit of unlisted inventory to even it out, but if the market price fluxes too much (or I sell some of the inventory), the BTC25 below will have to change and lock the exchange rate in just before the auction. The inventory will be put on selling vacation, in other words nobody will be able to buy anything listed as long as the auction is live.

I also have an *amount of BTC which will be funded to a (PRNG generated, not brainwallet of the listed item names) BIP38 encrypted private key, split up into a series of post-its of let's say 6 characters each, like a puzzle you just have to arrange in the right order, and those post-its will be tucked into my inventory immediately prior to pickup.

The binding auction for the stuff in the 2 paragraphs above will open at BTC25, topic in Auctions to prevent bid retraction.

Bidders will be notified in the auction's OP that if they won't personally, or have an agent they trust, pick up all the inventory, they shouldn't bid, but if they do, they're bound to pick up or have it all picked up no matter what. I'm dead serious about liquidating my inventory, but I'm not going to be liable for shipping cost, shipping packing, shipping damage, shipping theft, or anything else involved in shipping stuff en masse myself.

Bidders will also be notified in the auction's OP that if they had clear and convincing negative feedback of stealing BTC or owing BTC from contracts they broke before the start of the auction (so nobody can negbomb them out of their position), their bids will be disqualified and people are free to ignore them. Anybody less than Jr. Member will be disqualified as well.

There will be a secret BTC reserve amount & maximum BTC amount I set in advance - both inclusive of the BTC25 of inventory+the amount I can fund, referenced above at the *.
 
Either
1) A 12 hour countdown from the time of a bid meeting or being the first to exceed the secret BTC reserve amount
or
2) Someone meeting or being the first to exceed the secret maximum BTC amount

... whichever comes first, will determine the end of the auction. The winning bidder will be required to be reduce their payment to the maximum, if they exceeded it.

I will do my best to post STOP BIDDING, AUCTION WON BY [winner] immediately when the 12 hour countdown hits zero, or I see a topic reply notification email meeting or exceeding the maximum before the countdown hits zero. Hopefully I won't be asleep/need to pull an all-nighter for the proper timing.

Bids placed
1) 12 hours or more after the secret BTC reserve amount was met
or
2) After the secret maximum BTC amount was met or first exceeded, but prior to 12 hours passing

...will be disqualified.

If the winning bidder violates their binding bid (7 days of non-payment to an unfunded BTC address I PGP clearsign and PM to them, reviewable by staff, at which point a negative feedback will be left for the winning amount), the next highest qualified bidder will be required to pay to another unfunded BTC address I PGP clearsign and PM to them, rinse and repeat as the 7 days of non-payment for each next highest bidder run out and negative feedbacks are left on each.

The winner will be provided upon payment, via a PGP-encrypted PM, the BIP38 passphrase and a randomly generated code, to give to their trusted agent if they need to use one (who will then give it to me so I can verify I'm not giving all the stuff to a fake agent), or to me directly. Regardless of whether their trusted agent runs off with the winner's goods after giving me the randomly generated code, the BIP38 passphrase will prevent the thief agent from also stealing the winner's BTC after arranging the post-it notes properly.

If the winner can't solve the puzzle once all the goods are in their possession and can take pictures of everything, or their trusted agent turns thief, I'll have a backup of the BIP38 private key and passphrase I can encrypt in PM to the winner, using their same public key I encrypted to in the first place.

I'd prefer to be the first to run an auction/puzzle in this format as a proof of concept, but others can run with it, auctioning off their own stuff+BTC.

Thoughts?

All his victims though... 

If I ran Bitpay, I would hold the BTC donated to Rand's campaign that we converted to USD, then sell it when USD/BTC went up, and donate the difference between what we paid Rand in USD and the USD we finally sold it for.

6 ozt of silver, which if I were to sell it at post-silver crash price, would make it unacceptably expensive, so I don't.

And that people who are inherently immoral, or stupid, can be trusted to govern others.
