Very annoyingly, both extrabyte and thewebdeveloper cancelled their bids at the last minute in the normal round 192 ad auction. Round 192 will start in roughly 48 hours, so I need to fill the remaining slots. I will do so in this special short auction.
See the
last thread for the full rules. Note especially that forum ads have a special HTML/CSS-based format, and
images are not allowed.
The minimum increment here is 0.01 BTC rather than 0.05 BTC. The auction still starts at 0.25 BTC. The auction will end at a random time between 23.5 and 24.5 hours from the time of this post.
As of now, there is
one slot available. If any other issues happen, this could potentially rise, in which case I will take the top winning bids. In preparation for this eventuality, you could bid "2 @ ..." if you want. I will interpret bids without a slot count to be for 1 slot.
In normal auctions I'm pretty flexible and forgiving, but in this special auction, I will be a real stickler for payment. Once you bid, you are absolutely obliged to pay your bid if you end up winning slots. Anyone who doesn't pay within 24 hours when called will get negative trust from me.
You must be at least a Jr Member to bid. If you have never advertised before, you must include in your post a brief description of what you're advertising. If you haven't advertised before, you should very carefully read the
design rules, since you will only have about 24 hours after winning this auction before ads go live.
Even if you are outbid, you could still win slots if I reject the bids of people above you. I might reject bids for any reason, such as because the the thing they're advertising seems unsafe or because I don't trust that they'll pay. If you think that someone outbidding you might have their ad rejected, it is a legitimate strategy to bid with the uncertain assumption that they will be rejected.
If you win slots, I will send you the payment information via forum PM from this account ("theymos", user ID 35)
after announcing the auction results in this thread.
You might receive false payment information from scammers pretending to be me. They might even have somewhat similar usernames. Be careful.
