Oh boy this is an expensive one... However there's over 50 BTC in this baby!

And most probably the only one which will ever exist!

These pieces are very cool and definitely a neat way of storing your coins.
I have a couple of questions. Out of curiosity, how does a bar get double funded? Is the finding process automatic or are the Bitcoins manually sent from a freshly mined block?
Secondly, since you're dealing with a high amount of BTC, what form does the private key come in? Is it engraved into the bar?

When they hit 2 blocks back to back and can not change the script fast enough. The key is like Casascius and is mini key. Michail1 came up wth a nice how-to redeem guide

 i am impressed..  really nice item..

[SaltySpitoon]

Heh, hope it doesn't come back to bite you starting the bid at 50 BTC instead of 50.7. I'd say theres a decent chance of Canary winning it at 50, due to the lack of people with 50 BTC laying around to bid with.

You're telling me most people don't have a secret wallet holding $30,000 of currency? huh, I guess I have to rethink priorities.

Just to confirm
Free insured worldwide shipping but what about the Heavy fee that might be charged on it?

[Blazed]

How does shipping work if I am located in the USA? Will you guys ship it directly to me?

I would assume this shiny block gets deliverd in person by a nice Bitgirl^^

50.7BTC

Edit: Acutally will have to retract my bid because I won't be able to pay within 72 hours of the auction end date, and that shipping would be a huge hassle.

If shipping to USA won't be much of a trouble/no customs issues that I'm assuming you guys would handle.

He's a pretty poor scammer as he didn't wait for the auction to actually end. lol.

[CanaryInTheMine]

Scammers try on every auction these days...

[coin@coin]

so 51.2 btc was the winning bid?

[Zepher]

I would assume so.. Was wondering the same thing earlier.

It is Chinese Holidays until October 7th, but I would have thought someone from BTCC would have updated this thread?.

[windjc]

I think I won. Lol.

I sent Bobby a DM today to ask about payment address.

[NattyLiteCoin]

So you essentially paid .5BTC for a super rare coin, not bad considering the first count auctioned went for 7 or so BTC over the 25 BTC spot.

Yes, I believe everyone else was either asleep on or vacation. I think OTOH was on vacation

You did. I think the lack of communication is because of my previous comment.

In my opinion, you got this for an absolute steal. People were watching... don't think otherwise There are just not many of us with 50+ BTC lying around

Great score man. Really!! Hope you cherish this. I know I would!
