[Silent Auction] Diamond Builder 09/10 ~ Ends in one hour

[Kialara]

All proceeds from this auction will be donated to the yogg rug fund.

The highest private bid between now and Monday, March 20th 5pm Pacific takes it. If the highest bid comes in under $10k, I will make up the difference... so it's a guaranteed additional $10k donated.

Please submit/private-message your bid to me in USD amount.

I just shipped two of these out of the US today and this is the very last Diamond Builder for sale, serial 09/10 [unfunded] - so who knows, maybe a bid over retail price is even possible  

Here's a quick video that helps to visualize the diamond eyes and the opals inside better...

I'll likely be bumping this thread a couple times since there won't be any active bidding, but feel free to ask questions or open a discussion below.

And without giving too much away, I want to share that I have a new, self-custodial design in the works that invites the holder into the creation process in a fun and innovative way. This upcoming edition marks a transition towards a trustless wallet model designed to be more accessible to a wider audience... It's just a couple months out, and as usual I'll be announcing this to my mailing list so make sure to subscribe in the footer of kialara.com to be notified.

these are beautiful - my favorite of all the kialaras - wish I had the corn to make a decent offer. good luck to those that bid.

Just a quick shoutout, this is a massive and impressive donation, Max!
And on a side note, love these pieces. The incorporated ASIC chips are just next-level. Out of my range, but this one will surely find huge interest among some of our collectors here.

exactly and being a collector and a miner is what makes this one my favorite. I hope to see one on secondary market and that one day I have enough to get one

and yes Max this is a huge donation!

What’s up buddy. This is really generous of you. Also really enjoyed the press release for your 10 year anniversary. Seems like just yesterday I was emailing you for the first time about the 2015 Silver Editions..crazy how fast time flies! Best of luck with this silent auction, I’m sure it’ll do quite well. Cheers.

Btw -been meaning to run some stuff by you, will text ya in the next few days.

HI Max.....This is very kind and generous of you! As a victim myself I cannot express the gratitude for doing this and am sure everyone else feels the same way!

    Love this Diamond builder as well...I will make a bid but I am sure this is going to go much higher than I can afford to bid atm.

   Cheers!

[Kialara]

@Mopar, thank you! It’s nice to hear this coming from you.

@Kryptowerk, thank you and I’m happy to do this. Happy to hear you love them!

@Chi, seriously I can’t believe it’s been ten years either… and weirdly at the same time, it feels like a lifetime ago that I discovered bitcoin. A lot can change in a decade.

@krogoth, we’re all a part of this relatively small and growing/evolving community and anything that can help out like this I’m happy to do. And I know everyone else who donated feels the same.

Thanks to those who have PM'd me bids so far - just want to remind everyone to please submit your bid amount in USD, and also to be mindful of scammers, especially if they reach out to say you are the winner. I will provide a btc payment address privately to the winner both from here and from my email max@kialara.com. And these funds will be forwarded to minerjones who is handling all auction funds for this cause.

I will not reach out to anyone on Telegram or other messaging clients outside of this forum.

[Kialara]

so payment will be in btc and not in usd (as it was/is on your website)?

Hi haloxon, for this auction I'm just asking bidders to submit their bids to me privately in USD amount. I would prefer the actual payment to me be in BTC, but would consider other arrangements like a wire or paypal, cashapp etc. for the right person and/or a previous customer of mine.

[Kialara]

Less than 24 hours to submit your bids 

Thank you, everyone.

[Humble Bitcoiners]

For those of you loving Kialaras...this piece is just stunning in hands. Shiny & reflecting all over.

The concept is great...mining is pretty much unreflected in collectibles and surely can't be expressed more beautifully🥳

Thank you, HB! From one craftsman to another 

Three hours left to submit your bids! It looks like 5pm Pacific time = 12am forum time.

[Kialara]

1 hour remaining, and wanted to add that if two or more bids placed are for the same amount, that whomever placed their bid earliest will be determined the winner.

[Kialara]

Thank you kindly everyone and for the bids. I've just notified the high bidder via PM and will be sending the BTC to MJ soon.

$10k in BTC (0.35844 btc) has been sent to minerjones. Thanks again to the bidders and to those working to get this and the other funds fairly distributed... hope this helps some with that process.
