You know what would be funny? If they screwed up with the sending addresses and mistakenly sent 50000 BTC to some random poor fellow. That wouldn't just happen. They've seized the coins and they've gotten this far up to the auction just to send it to a wrong address? One word: pathetic.  Whoever won the auction sure has loads of btc today. Good buy. |

Was there ever a statement saying how much was paid for that auction? If I recall correctly, at that time, 1 BTC was valued at about $600 USD.

Last time when first auction hit the market, I think 6 month ago the price of Bitcoin felt down. I wonder why price increased today. This is good moment I think.

Huh? No dude it was not $600  Also there will probably be no statement because that was a private auction so unless the buyer comes forward and states how much then we will never know which is fine. If you just make an educated guess you will find the ball park at least within $20 that he paid anyway my guesstimate would be he paid $250 per coin so a total paid of about $12 million/ What do you think? |
TC is the worse thing to happen to default, needs to open his eyes and not jump to conclusions, not everyone lies!!! Anyway as promised I have left, pass word changed to long random which I will forget like that plonker who ruined a perfectly fine account.

My fault, i wasn't clear in my message. I meant to say the first auction, back in June/July 2014. At that time, BTC was valued around $600 USD. And that was won by Tim Draper. The recent auctions, it has been speculated that the bid prices were between 10-20% under current market value. |

Even if the buyer got $260, he has already made a tidy profit

Even if it happened, it wouldn't be sent to a random poor fellow, it would be sent to an address that will probably never be used, and lost forever. That said, if by some chance it really IS sent to a used address, I'm sure they'd hunt the guy down and make him return the bitcoins. |

Its so simple, if they send it to the wrong address, they just track the address owner down and seize it under Civil Forfeiture Law. Or if that transaction without fee can't get confirmed, they will break down Bitcoin network or seize satoshi and ask him to take responsibility for this. Just kidding. |

Do we know who won the auction yet? It is good to see the BTC out of the governments hands I guess.

I believe they are not the coins from Auction , Though it was supposed to be announced today but there were supposed to be auctioned in 20 Blocks (10 2000 BTC and 10 3000 BTC) . It would be strange if single person bought all of them  |

Nice finding. Still unconfirmed transaction, so fresh hehe.
As far as I know the name of the winner is not published? Or is it?
If the buyer was smart, they would not publish their name. Can't see any benefit in doing so, unless its a major company. |
