My first thought was some oversea big players with some cheap to free power. Still high bid was really around .2btc off the prisma price back in October.  The SP15 15pack wins hands down at that price and considering we are bidding with a minimum of 20 that's really the best comparison to use. I might as well publicly declare it here: I'm building a .5MW farm, and these would be a nice way to get a head start on more machines. The title thread has the words ' Round One' so maybe we will see this kind of auction again. I enjoyed it for what its worth. yeah the 15x SP20 is really the best comparison against 20x Prisma 25TH/19kW/22.5BTC vs 28TH/23kW/22BTC (according to the 1.1BTC/ea bid by coinchina) a difference of 3TH/4kW/-0.5BTC for equipment that is larger, cant underclock, and has an external ethernet controller. I dont understand whay the bid would be so high. I can't see any reason why the bidding would get high either. Personally, a SP20 is worth twice what a Prisma is worth (per TH/s versus per TH/s). The SP-20 has a huge range of efficencies, a real controller, works on any pool (I don't know if they solved that with the new controller), runs like a champ (makes even Bitmain look like junk), keeps really good resale value and lets not forget about the smoking issues of the past. I don't think ASICMiner did anything shady, but those bids are not real. Maybe it is just a competitor trying to mess with them, I don't know. |

What would be the reason for anyone to mess with this? Delay? Doesn't seem to matter much to AM since they should be able to sell them to the next highest bidder(s). |

Just to create all of the problems we have here (make the bidders suspect foul play, create mistrust of ASICMiner, tie up the auction for a few days waiting for the fake bidders to time out so ASICMiner then has to go down the list, maybe by the time they get to valid bidders, the valid bidders are less interested and maybe will not pay, people will be less interested in future rounds due to the problems in the first round, etc). Overall any problems that this auction now has due to the fake bidders might be a reason to mess with. I am not saying it would be a good idea for someone to mess with the auction, but someone is. However, this is just me guessing, I don't know anything for certain. |

P.S. Personally I am now out. The BTC I had for this auction I already spent and it would take me a few days to get the 8+ BTC again.
Things like that hurt their auction...

this should be done in a distributed platform, putting collateral before bidding

But in this case, fc abandoned, and in my opinion, he won't touch his previous accounts not to created traces. I think there are 2 outcomes: one, we never hear from him again, two he reappears on his own. |
