I would argue that my 2 XMR bid was altruistic compared to your 250 XMR bid...I'm like a modern-day Ghandi, but with more curves (of the ECDSA kind, of course)

Meh... Altruistic in that you were essentially sponsoring a "pizza giveaway", but really, my
wallet mind was set on the initiative standing for a "monero giveaway".

I'll be happy to pay
you a pizza just for the entertainment that I get here, but I confess that I'd be happiest if the pizza auction had earned me the winning ticket to the 'let's spread some monero around' initiative!

On to more important matters: I hear there's an (open source) GUI wallet coming soon?
