    96.1

    mpkomara wins the auction with 96.1 BTC

    Paiement should be on this bitcoin address:

    13HL9oCYx3JcYAqqm8E5wJe1MgZTP9wKeP

    Please provide me a bitcoin address for paying you back 100 BTC at maturity.


    Sorry for other bidders.  Had I known there would be that many people interested, I would have ended the auction on IRC.

    mpkomara beat me at the last moment. Tongue

    This is an interesting way to get a loan. It seems much more effective than the normal way.

    Hey, nice thread to measure traders' expectations.

    Looks like people expect an inflation of BTCs in the near future. Almost everyone would rather have less than 100 BTC now than 100 BTC later.

    Might be an indicator for traders to sell some BTC. Maybe I should have waited with my selling offer... on the other hand, maybe the traders only didn't appear because the amount is too low? Who knows~

    It *is* the normal way Smiley

    It should be, anyway.


    @mpkomara:

    I'm waiting for your paiement.  Please also provide me your bitcoin address here in this thread.

    A website that manages loans like this might be a good idea for a project. It could calculate the appropriate starting bid and bond amount based on the specified minimum loan amount and maximum interest rate. I'd certainly be interested in loaning to reputable individuals. It might be fun.

    @vanadroiy:  i would have paid more, but don't forget counterparty risk.  in this case, grondilu has very good credit.

    I agree.  For those who haven't seen the thread, there are some interesting ideas about how to operate a Bitcoin lending website at http://bt.irlbtc.com/view/5027.0

    I would love to make such a site, but already have too many irons in the fire

    grondilu, I'd be interested to hear if you made profitable use of the coins in the time that you held them, or if this was just an experiment that cost you 3.9 BTC.

    I did sell some of these 96.1 BTC and then bought others at a lower price.

    But I could have used my own bitcoins.

    So to tell you the truth, it was much more of a proof of concept that I wanted to make.

    Might be usefull for my reputation if I have to borrow bitcoins in the future, though.
