Wait, as far as I know nobody lost flezz due to the proxy thing. It was just hard to bid up to the magical unknown highest bidder.

There was a bug with auctions not selling if you were the highest bidder, but I refunded those who submitted reports.

Please see my bug report from scully_bot where BidSquid took total bid, but only delivered the high bid to the seller. The bug is still there, or was a day ago. (Although maybe that is because it is to be reversed.)

Also, there is no point in anonymous auctions since url’s for each auction are unique. Everything that has been done could be done very simply by saying “Here’s the link.”

As mentioned in the let’s retire the flezz leader board thread – there was a solidly closed economy before the auction house. We now have an open situation. Frankly, I recommend simply making flezz transfer a legal thing. Policing this crap is going to horribly time consuming and wickedly pointless, since it can be done on a much smaller scale over time and no one is going to scream foul play.
