(Steembay) Selling Ethereum ENS Address hollywoodpoker.eth Starting at 30 SBD

 Since this is an auction based on blockchain technology I am selling something that exists on a blockchain that is unique. Today, I am offering the ethereum ENS address hollywoodpoker.eth at a starting price of 30 SBD.

The Ethereum Name Service (ENS) is a distributed, open and extensible naming system based on the ethereum blockchain. It allows human readable addresses such as hollywoodpoker.eth to be resolved to a longer traditional ethereum address of a hexadecimal format. For more information about ENS I recommend reading the steemit post @cryptofacto wrote link here.

Anybody who knows about ethereum has heard about smart contracts and DApps. Just do a simple web search and you will see gambling has embraced what the ethereum blockchain can do for gambling. People who gamble can examine the contract to verify it is fair and once set up the decentralized gambling applications and smart contracts require very little human intervention.

If there is any possibility you might someday want to get into the world of decentralized gambling then you'll want to bid on hollywoodpoker.eth. This ENS ethereum address can be used in a smart contract or DApp to send and receive funds and when patrons see the hollywoodpoker.eth address they'll be inspired by the allure and glamor associated with Hollywood.

The ethereum ENS address hollywoodpoker.eth has 0.01 ETH locked into the address. This helps to guarantee your investment in this address already has value on day one.

Anybody who chooses to buy hollywoodpoker.eth can do more than resolving hollywoodpoker.eth to their personal ethereum address. The owner could also choose to create subdomains of this ENS address.  You could connect your friends' ethereum addresses to hollywoodpoker.eth so they can have an ethereum address that matches their favorite card game.  Some examples of subdomains for personal use are but are not limited to:

  • yourname.hollywoodpoker.eth
  • lucky.hollywoodpoker.eth
  • jackpot.hollywoodpoker.eth

How To Place Your Bid

  1. Reply directly to this post with "bid x". Example bid reply: bid 31.0 
  2. Wait for the bot to log your bid. You will get a reply if you are overbid.

Bids will be accepted until the end of this auction.


I will transfer hollywoodpoker.eth to the highest bidder after payment has been received and the highest bidder provides an ethereum address to transfer hollywoodpoker.eth to them. The highest bidder must make sure it is an ethereum address they control because resolving the ENS address requires control over the address (e.g. DO NOT ask me to send it to an exchange address!). It is recommended to use an ethereum wallet like MEW (MyEtherWallet). If somebody bids the 'Buy Now' price of 100.0 SBD I will end the auction after seeing the bid has been posted and the auction for this item will be over. After the payment is received hollywoodpoker.eth will be transferred to the ethereum address the highest bidder provides.


Well, that should do it. Let's start the auction.
