That's too bad. I thought all you'd need was more players. Will you keep it on Github? I'm copying the link here just in case someone wants to fork it later. For the record: would that be allowed?

Yes, it's open-source and public domain. I'll keep it on GitHub if anybody wants to fork in in the future.

I remembered that there was something similar in the past, too, an auction only limited not by the number of blocks, but by the time of the event, which was reduced as the amount sent by the next auction participant increased, and I even managed to win 0.48 BTC in one of them

, but in any case, the idea is worthy of continuation.

The amount that you wrote, in fact, at the current bitcoin rate, is not at all small. It's great that you remembered a similar auction. But apparently, it was probably a very long time ago, back when it seemed to all of us that half a bitcoin or even a whole bitcoin was not that much money. For some reason, for quite a few years, no one else offered this. Or I suggest, but we simply were not aware, did not know about it. It would be nice to study this issue a little and maybe then it will become clear why the initiative did not become widespread and well-known.

If OP would make such an analysis of the historical data, it would be a good help in further work on the project.
And then it would be possible to draw a conclusion about the viability of this initiative.
