Its sad to see that you decided to auction the site.. I don't see anyone else capable enough to do what you did for the site, the investors and the devs.. But then again, real life is more important, and for that i salute you for it..

What happens if no one bids after the deadline? And incase someone bids and he/she got no competition, will he automatically win? Bidding 50btc is easy for big competitors of moneypot, Its gonna be sad to see some competitor site bidding for the site and winning, and just for the sake of abandoning it.. Every big business will do anything just to remove a competitor, even if it means spending and buying it..

Also what will happen to the current apps that are currently hosted or powered by moneypot if the new owner decides to just drop the project after buying it.

Again, its sad to see the site up on auction, And i salute you for what you did and have done for the bitcoin community. I wish you all the best in life.

I doubt someone would buy it and just trash the site. And since he's looking for reputable people, he would hopefully choose someone that wants to really boost the site up even more and promote it more heavily.

unibtc's is certainly a valid point. There are always cases where a company buys out its competitor and then closes it down. Also, it is possible that he may not be able to manage it as well as Ryan does. SatoshiDice last year (it is going okay at the moment) is a good example to consider.

But, yeah, considering the number of competitors here, I don't think it someone would actually intent to do it. Moreover, Ryan could easily decline the offer if he doesn't find it in the general interest to proceed with the sale.

I'm far from qualified to give legal advice. You'll need to speak with a lawyer who knows the laws of where you live.

From my experience, there is no qualified advice when it comes to bitcoin. I actually worked on a unique gambling site for 6 months and ended up not being able to release it.
There is simply no way to launch a bitcoin dice site that's able to compete and is legal. The problem isn't even license fees(150k+/year if you want to be able to offer your service in the whole world).
It's the simple fact that you will have to collect personal data from people who sign up and when you compare that to simply putting in a name on PD there is no way that members of the bitcoin community will come play at such a site.
Also a Costa Rican company provides absolutely no protection according to the several lawyers i have talked to.(Only got this information after i had already made one l0l)

Anyways, sad to see you sell the site. Couldn't think of many people in the bitcoin (gambling) community who are so passionate and have so innovative ideas and projects.
The amount of work and thought you put into your sites made me trust you even when i hadn't seen you on bitcointalk.
This could be the last good bitcoin gambling investing opportunity gone if the wrong person buys it. I do trust that you will choose the right person though.

Yup.

i took off all my money from MP for now.. sadly ;(

You don't really have to. Ryan is still the owner and is in control of Moneypot and its bankroll. He would announce once there is an ownership change or something worth the notice.
Well, it is up to you to decide what to do with your money.
