ASICMiner Auction Discussion Room (temporary)

Man I have no clue either, my latest bids got refused because of constant new replies. Then time was up. Very curious

Yes, John, is there any chance to turn off this annoying Warning - while you were reading 4 new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post.? It totally screwed last seconds bids  I think it would be good idea to turn off this feature by default for auction threads.

You can turn this off by yourself in settings.

Looking forward to next Wednesday's dividends

+1, but I'm extremely happy on behalf of the buyers who I'm certain has made brilliant buys.

Well organised John. Anyone know are there any further 10GHz blade auctions planned? Wondering how confident bidders are on the difficulty continuing to be favourable long enough to have made a modest ROI on these.. Will ASICs being delivered raise the difficulty 10x or is it less than this?

Yes, I did now But isn't it good will to warn about it in OP at least?

For the $500,000(estimate) you guys just dropped, you could have developed your own ASICS.

50 10 gh blades should change the diff at all considering they were used up to this point

At worst, I feel like the hardware value if received, could auction on something like ebay for more than the btc equiv here. I'm mining with it though

Not in a week.

I suggest the next auction should take place in a dedicated IRC channel, where a bot keeps track of the bidders with the highest bid, and bidders post bids in a standard format, so the bot can easily recognize them. Like:

2@48,1@50,1@51

would bid on a total of 4 devices at an average price of 49.25 BTC per device.

In a separate IRC channel, the bot could keep posting the current book of the highest bidders, for example every 10 seconds (perhaps every 1 second when the end nears), and no one else is allowed to write in this channel.

wasn't it 50 auctioned or 100?

+1 also i think registering bidders is smarter so we dont get phony bids

The blades are _new_ blades, not used.

I think John should unwind this from the end. His nightmare will end sooner this way.

[Omen1855]

John, wouldn't it be less work if you counted from last valid bidding post backwards?
I'm only guessing you're working your way through a lot of too low bids. But probably with good reason
Anyway thanks for the massive work.

[John (John K.)]

PS: Please don't PM me asking for the list  - I'm tallying like crazy now.

oh, coolio, well still its not that much hashpower, maybe a 2-4% increase

[daggeteo]

It was a bit like a hurricane towards the end but i'm ok with that it's a part o f the community fun =) I must give a shout out to the organizers they have done a great job! I'm happy to found this forum!

Prefer forum over irc but thats just me.

GOD HOW SILLY I WAS. *facepalm*

Thanks!

[drawingthesun]

well still its not that much hashpower, maybe a 2-4% increase

50 x 10 Gh/s = 500Gh/s

Network rate at the moment: 75,000 GH/s

So its a increase of 0.0066% of the total network hash rate.
