Not a bad idea to have other names bidding and winning all those Bitcoins Smiley Has the winner been announced, meanwhile?

To auction coins off they might as well open theri own exchange to sell the coins off and give everyone equal chances to buy the coins with their own amount would like to pay for x amount not for the entire lot only gives bigger corporate or bigger investors chances. Give everyone equal rights and chances not big corporate people the chance to gain some extra coins.

Well i guess their offer was simply too low, and thats a good thing that there as some competition, much rather to hear this than that there was no interes in buying all coins what so ever, it would plummet the price way down and flash around all news headlines for days.
Now if only they would make it public to what their maximum bid was, it would give us very valuable piece of information.

cheers

It would help if they disclosed the price that they bid.
I am not sure why they want to keep it a secret.
