I have not heard anything from the OP and have not started hashing even though it was supposed to start 2 hours ago. This was probably a scam.
You didn't use escrow? I didn't even send any BTC. He hasn't responded period since the auction ended. He made that post above about the auction ending and how he would message the winner. He never messaged me, an hour later at midnight EST, I messaged him asking what the deal is. He hasn't responded and his account hasn't been signed into since. I was planning on using escrow. |

I'm currently working things out with jakedeez. It seems his bid of 0.2 was correct, he is the winner. Also, I contacted him, and he was late, so we're waiting on him for the lease to start.
Just also wanted everyone to know escrow is no problem for me, you should always expect to use escrow, and I know it should be required for me since I'm a new user.
Unfortunately, LDR has lost. Even though his bid was the last bid before the auction ended, it wasn't the highest.

There was clearly a misunderstanding about jakedeez's bid, people assumed he meant 0.02 and kept bidding when it fact I guess he really did bid 0.2. This lead to 6 of 8 bids being incorrect including my bid. I was wrong and did not win.
I apologize to Suomynona who has pulled through and handled this situation well.

Yeah - I totally fucked up this one, for sure I meant to bid .02 - however, I made the error, so I will pay it.
Taking responsibility for my fuck up. Coins sent.
It would be super cool if I were offered a bit more time hashing since I did make the mistake and massivly overpay... that being said, again, it was my fuck up, so I guess if dude doesn't want to hook me up with some extra benefits, I'll have to take it as a lesson to be more careful with what I am doing.

I am trying to get in touch with the seller - I paid, and I asked him to mine coye at first. I have however since pm'd him and asked him to switch to LTC in my pool... Haven't heard back... that said he hasn't logged on in a few days so hopefully he is just busy.

Starting to think I got scammed yet again. This time for a lot more then I meant to spend, but at least it was just 0.2 btc. Actually meant to bid .02 so I am a double idiot here. Anyway, the guy hasn't logged on in days so I really am starting to think I got screwed. No more sending first for me, period. Oh well. |

To clarify, are you receiving hashpower to a pool or nothing at all? |

There are so many warnings people just simply ignore. Use escrow, don't trust blindly. I could go on, but please *think* before sending your *money* to strangers. |

I'm not pursuing it because I just don't care taht much and I am busy pursuing a bigger scammer. |
