Auction House — How It Works
The Auction House lets players buy and sell Joules, Miners, Crate Keys, and Cooling Items directly with each other using satoshis. Use the command /inventory to list an item and browse active listings.
Listing an Item
- Run /inventory, choose an item type, set your price and duration.
- A listing deposit is deducted from your balance immediately — it is refunded when your item sells and forfeited if it expires or you cancel.
- Deposit amounts scale with the listing price and chosen duration.
Buying an Item
- Click Buy Now on any active listing.
- Your balance is deducted immediately. The item goes into escrow — it is not transferred until the seller confirms.
- You will receive a DM with your purchase receipt and options.
Platform Cut (5%)
- When your item sells, you receive a Lightning invoice for 5% of the sale price.
- Pay the invoice to collect your full proceeds. If you ignore it, the cut is deducted automatically after 24 hours.
Escrow & Delay Penalty
- After a sale, the item is held in escrow until the seller pays the cut invoice or the 24-hour window expires.
- 2-hour grace period — no penalty if you pay within 2 hours.
- After the grace period: 0.5% of the sale price per hour, capped at 15%.
- Decay is split 70% to the community prize pool and 30% to the server.
Buyer Reminders
- As a buyer you can send the seller up to 3 reminders via the button in your DM.
- Reminders have a 4-hour cooldown between uses.
- The bot also automatically reminds sellers at 1h, 4h, and 12h after a sale.
Reversals & Cancellations
- Sellers can reverse a sale at any time before the 24h window closes — the buyer is fully refunded and the item returns to the seller, but the listing deposit is forfeited.
- Sellers can cancel an active (unsold) listing at any time — the item is returned but the deposit is forfeited.
- Buyers cannot cancel once a purchase is confirmed.
Auto-Resolve
- If the seller does not pay or reverse within 24 hours, the sale auto-resolves: the item is delivered to the buyer and the seller receives their proceeds minus the 5% cut and any delay penalty.
