:prami_happy: Three exclusive single-letter omg.lol lifetime addresses are now live on https://bids.lol!
They are: @a, @l, and @x. The winning bidders get the full omg.lol bag of goodies for each, for life.
This year, I’ve changed the way the auctions work. We’re now using a sealed-bid second-price auction format, also known as a Vickrey auction. With this format, all bids are private and the winning bidder pays the second-highest bid amount. This encourages people to pay whatever they think the addresses are worth, and it avoids bidding wars, sniping, and the pressure to spend more than you might otherwise spend. I think it will work much better for these auctions!
Bidding is open through noon EDT on September 14, though that could be extended by another week depending on how things go. And as always, half of the proceeds from these lifetime addresses will go directly to the St. Jude Relay fundraiser. ❤️
Happy bidding! 🥳
