This is an Ethereum implementation of the 'Dollar auction'. Players bid for a prize in Ether, with the top bidder taking home the full amount. The catch: both the top and second bidders have to pay. Don't be the second bidder!
The first auction is for
5 ether.
Auctions run for 24 hours, after which the winner gets paid out, and the top two bids are rolled over to start a new auction, less a 10% fee paid out to the seller who put up the initial stake. Payout is triggered by the first bid in a new auction, or by anyone calling endAuction.
To play, send your bid to
0x6fd93c524553e05b3a1ac9291bde505d37252dfd.
The full source of the contract, and the current state including top bidders and bid amounts can be seen
here. Or, you can add the contract to your wallet by importing the interface:
