[AUCTION] Casascius 25 Original 2011

[Michail1]

Today MDT is -7 hours from UTC. On Nov. 6th of this year MDT will be -6 from UTC.

Uhh, no.

DST = Daylight Savings Time.  It started on Mar 12th.  So, we are in xDT time zones.

PDT (Pacific) is currently -7
MDT (Mountain) is currently -6
CDT (Central) is currently -5
EDT (Eastern) is currently -4

On November 5th, we go to Standard Time zones  ( xST)

PST -8
MST -7
CST -6
EST -5

Current UTC time is (with Pacific and Mountain examples):
https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20170507T170000&p1=1440&p2=234&p3=220

Theory and reasons for DST:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time

And to clear up a confusion your computer might display.... When you go to the clock to enter your time zone, it will show you Standard Time (PST for example for Pacific), but will either have a checkbox for observing daylight savings or simply do it for you based on the calendar date but will tell you that it is currently observing this change.  Yes, Windows has a checkbox asking if you're in a DST zone.  There are very few places that have an exception to the DST rule (like Arizona).

Term:  Spring forward / Fall back
In November, it is fall.  So, the clocks will fall back (extra hour of sleep).  So, for MDT -6, it will change to MST -7
PDT -7 will go to PST -8

(edit:  confirmation.  Bitcointalk is on UTC.  Time of my post was 5:25PM UTC; however, I am in Seattle (PDT -7), so it is 10:25AM for me right now.)

So, it ends tonight.  Midnight for his time zone  (MDT)

That is 6AM UTC  (Forum time)

Just watch the forum clock on the top right.  Less than 12.5 hours to go.

(Time zones makes this fun for sniping.)

It is currently 9:pm my time. 3 hours until auction close.

Thank you all for the support.

As it may be of interest here's a 25 BTC Series-1 that I won a couple of months ago, got it for 26.5 BTC @ approx $1,200/BTC = $31,800 or when we actually exchanged, on the 21st April, it was approx $1,246/BTC = $33,000 including delivery in person to London from Estonia.

Coin is real nice, firstbit's addie has a small smudge on it from when originally produced.

Thank you all, I look forward to more auctions in the future.

Guess the OP could extend a leaf.

Otoh... I'd be happy to get you one at that price.

If anyone has a 25btc for sale in the US, I might be interested, definitely give preference for graded coins.

Today MDT is -7 hours from UTC. On Nov. 6th of this year MDT will be -6 from UTC.

Uhh, no.

MDT (Mountain) is currently -6

Ah, shit I got the hours from UTC confused between MDT and MST. Sorry for that all! Thanks for the correction. I'll double check my comments next time - i think this one was late at night.

Nice premium building on this auction...I suppose I'll have to cut out of work to watch this auction finish!
