[AUCTION] The NEW 2020 Bitcoin Penny™ has YOUR NAME on it!

[Lesbian Cow]

I believe that in this case, bid stands (is not rejected), the winner just needs to choose another initials/word.
I get what you are saying here. IMO it's more like accepted or rejected words, rather than more/less preferred ones by the maker. However, BitcoinPenny is the "official" here to answer that

Thank you for your completely ineffectual interjection. The same problem still applies, if the bidder can not get their preferred initials, then obviously that would effect the willingness to bid, as well as the amount.

Are you a bidder?

No, but seeing as an auction is an open offer to contract, I am an interested party regardless.

I would also like to invalidate all my other (non-MITCH) bids. They were meant as a joke, as I knew that the auction price would go much higher than that. Furthermore, I believe that politics have no place in Bitcoin. Of course, anyone is free to disagree with that, but I wanted to make this clear.

I will assume by your lack of reply you aren't interested in my bid.

[BitcoinPenny]

I will assume by your lack of reply you aren't interested in my bid.

Good morning, TECSHARE.

I wasn't ignoring you, I just stepped away last night and forgot to reply. It's morning now, so I'll do my best to answer your question. (WARNING: I haven't had a single sip of coffee yet, so my answers may ramble or make little sense.)

It might be a good idea to require a public statement of the initials/word with each bid and accept or reject them before the auction finishes, otherwise essentially one could just use those bids to drive the price up then reject them for a inscription more personally favorable to the manufacturer while still keeping the inflated price. I am not suggesting BitcoinPenny would do this, but there really would be no way to know for sure. Can you please confirm if you would accept or reject this submission?

I think you make a solid point (even without my morning coffee). However, please know that I am always willing to openly and publicly reject a mint mark suggestion. I've done it plenty of times in the past, and I'll do it in this auction too, if the occasion arises.

But I think that you're asking for me to set an official rule on the matter, which may be a wise idea. Therefore and henceforth, if a mint mark is given with a bid, then I will officially and publicly accept or reject that mint mark. I do believe that is the wisest policy, TECSHARE. Thank you for sharing it.

(EDIT: Please assume the mint mark was accepted if I post a mockup.)

Regards and Happy Bidding,
Chris

PS — As quoted above, I think that you were specifically referring to the previous bid where the mint mark suggestion was TRUMP. That's a tricky bid, for many political and moral reasons. However, I will enthusiastically state here and now that I will never mint the name TRUMP on any BP product.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I regret you are unwilling to offer a free market bid for your product and instead would rather choose your personal political beliefs over business operations.

Free market??  By that thinking you'd be ok with c*nt or wh*re on the Penny.  If you believe that would be ok because of "free market" over business practice .... YOU ARE A MORON!!  How about stop pushing political anything into this space.  I'm guessing BCP would reject Bush or Obama as well to keep politics out as well....

That is an interesting false equivalence you have there between profanity and The President of The United States. Of course allowing such a bid would most certainly drive the price up much further, but people you don't agree with are verboden. In this case a petty sense of control does trump the free market. Who pays the price? In this case the retailer. Hopefully it was worth it. Everyone knows democratic societies regularly ban the representation of opposition right? Of course.
