Looking for beta testers - Bitcoin penny auction site

[djohn]

The bids went smoothly, except maybe the last second before the end of the auction where it seemed like the counter went from 0:01 to 0:00 twice meaning that it did something like 0:01 -> 0:00 -> 0:01 -> 0:00.

Yeah, I noticed that too.  Want to get it fixed before the next one.

Did you ever see the "Going..." message?

I am not really sure.

There are a couple new auctions set up for tomorrow that are scheduled to end around 2:45 PM EST.  One for 0.25BTC and one for 0.5BTC

I've updated everyone's account to have 10 free bids.  You'll need to decide on how to split your bids between the auctions.

I saw that thrice. But other than a few minor hiccups I'm surprised how well the auction went. I participated from my iPhone, so it would be nice to see a mobile version included, maybe just done with some CSS wizardry using relative placements and sizings through percentages. Can't wait for the next auction!

Few minutes before original start time of the auctions, you added two identical auctions. From this time I didnt saw time renmaining on all auctions, so for me it was blind auction. But this was the only issue I saw

The auctions went very smoothly! I'm looking forward to this site being up

[SaltySpitoon]

Sorry, I'm a bit late giving feedback. Anyway, I was playing around in the bidding action, and actually ended up winning one of the .5 BTC auctions. So far the UI looks good, and it seems to all work right.

I signed up when you first, posted this under skiz22285. When is the next auction?

[mhughes]

It turns out my business liability insurance won't cover this site and it risks me losing my insurance across the board.  Because of that, I won't be developing bidfast any further.

Quick post-mortem: Never took a single BTC from anyone, and paid out all outstanding debts.  I will delete all personal information from the database.  For me, ~$100 and ~ a week's work was an acceptable cost to run an experiment to test the viability of a site like this. 

If anyone would like to purchase the code and/or domain behind the site, please PM me. 

On to find something else, I suppose.

Shame... I liked the idea.
