    Successful bidders have been sent messages to their NEM wallet accounts for further instructions. You are to respond within 12 hours. Please note our official BTC account is 1PxrkQfPc9cvgPd4okAusye359jUgjcrPH. You may reply by breaking up the BTC TxID into two parts as the encryption text length is limited.

    Once again, thank you for your support.

    Note:
    Previous Auction No 1: 19 million XEM was auctioned off at an average of 70.79 Satoshi each.

Reminder: Please encrypt offer.

So, you bid by sending funds? But not all biddings are selected for funding right? Because last time there was 19 blocks selected from the 70 or so invested?

So what happends with The bids that are not accepted? Send back? What kind of encrypted message should be added?

No, they are not sent back. You pay to play. Otherwise scammers would flood them with phony bids.

Send the message like this


4 blocks 2.5 BTC


Which means you want to buy 4 million for 2.5 btc.

Just multiply the price you want to pay by how many million you want to buy to get the number of BTC you would pay.


Thanks for helping out in the explanation.

Basically you send your bid and you don't pay the BTC. You will only pay up if and when your bid is accepted. When you are bidding, you will need to send in 1000 XEM as a non-refundable bidding fee as part of your bid.

Auction is over.


Our goal is mostly met, so there won't be another auction for a long time.

When will you contact the bidders?
(Will non-winning bidders also get notified?  ;D)

Please post a summary of total XEM sold.  Also an average price point if possible.  Thanks

Are We having another Auction soon?
