Can people please specify WHICH BLOCK you are bidding on.
Oh c'mon man that's ridiculous. You expect your buyers to reconstruct the tree to determine which block to bid on rather than just having you do it centrally by only retaining the current 24 highest bids.
Not only that but you may lose money if people don't realise that one or two blocks have low bids, towards the end, and they slip buy while the others peak out much higher.
Makes no sense at all.

Makes perfect sense. He's trying to minimize his workload by having us keep track of what we want/willing to spend.
Great, except that actually creates a higher workload for the buyers he's trying to attract. I don't want to waste my time working back through the bids list to determine which block is currently worth my bid. Certainly not when the entire auction could operate far more simply by being tracked centrally by the seller, as a bubble-sorted system.
And what about my valid point that, if people don't keep track of the cheapest blocks (which is quite likely towards the end of the auction), he will miss out on some of the high bids?
And why should the buyers do the work anyway? It's enough that we want to give the guy our money.
Anyway, who appointed you to speak for the seller?

Perhaps just bumping lower bidders would have been a better system... im not sure. However, regardless of which method is better, I have decided to use one system and changing it mid-auction would be irresponsible and unfair to those who have already bid under one set of rules.
I shall try to update the leaderboard as often as i am able - especially towards the end.
Thanks for a reasoned response.
