      As @[email protected] mentioned it’s now at $505.

      What’s up with j_s_0e6b87? (Let’s call them JS). If they really want the address that’s the wrong way to go - bidding too high, too early, too often, and in a bidding war against everyone else. A better approach is to wait until the last hours and then try to snip it.

      Unless their goal is to raise the prices this way?

      EDIT: currently $676. JS is in a bid war with TB (t_b_2a08d7), a newcomer. 🍿

        JS has bid 26 times now without missing a beat. It’s up to $2,345. That’s insane… and with 8 days left! Like bruhh what?? I refuse to believe they genuinely want to purchase it vs just driving up the price.

          It’s a popcorn fest for everyone! Including Hexbear users, they clearly don’t give a fuck about the address itself.

          My guesses are, in order:

          1. Same as you, they’re just driving up the price. They’ll stop bidding near the end.
          2. They genuinely want the address because they have some really bad bone to pick against HB, and they have more than enough money to waste on it.
          3. Some really clueless HB user wants the address, even if their own admins said to not bother.

          Same, it’s going to be an intense 9 days from now on. The finale is a great mystery as to how will everything turn out. What will be the final price? Will people cancel their bids? What will be shown on the new site? Who’s the one bidding? Who will win? And all the drama and arguing in the meantime too. Lemmy’s going to be busy.

      If the highest bidder refuses to pay up, will it pass to the next one down?
      Cause I feel lile some of those higher bids would just evaporate and it’d make perfect sense to place say a 500 bid rn (1920) just in case, if you were so inclined to decorate the domain after aquisition

      Edit: And also it would mean you could start a bidding war with hexbeareans to drive up their cost to the maximum they would pay, without any risk to yourself as long as you remained anonymous
