bidding 0.04
I don't think bids from newbies will be taken seriously on auctions on this forum cuz some will assume that newbies were alts of the auction starter or also maybe you're just a troll, for now I won't accept your bid sorry.
There are lots of people who get blocked by moderators everyday. So start again they make a newbie account and bid for their desired account. And most of them are real bidder too but few are spammers
I am a bit disappointed by your reply that you haven't accepted bid of a Newbie. There may be a chance that he used to be a member of bitcointalk and to get back to posting again he is purchasing account.
So, instead of denying his bid you should suggest him to prove he actually have btc to buy this account. You should tell him to provide a signed message of the bitcoin address where those bitcoins are stored. This way it actually proves that he is a serious bidder
So instead of losing a bidder try giving him alternatives
Hope this helps
Hmm you've got a point but I 'm just trying to avoid wasting my time with newbie bidders as I (and also other users) had a bad experience with a newbie bidder before. Also I don't wanna be accused of making an alt just to make bids on my auction (which is not) by judgemental forum users
I think I might consider your suggestion of asking ranie12 a signed message of an address with enough funds to cover his bid. I guess that's gonna be a proof that's he's serious enough on his bid
Thank you , your help was very much appreciated
