Refund of unrevealed bids

šŸŖ³ Bug Reports
1

Hi there,

Iā€™ve made several bids on a few domains but was unfortunately unable to reveal them after 72 hours [within the 48 hour timeframe] due to a broken device.

Is there a way to get these unrevealed funds deposited back?

Appreciate any support around this!

Thanks!

Hi, according to https://medium.com/the-ethereum-name-service/a-visual-timeline-of-an-ethereum-name-service-bid-20c368865f56 you lose 95% of the bid if you donā€™t reveal (I think it was some sort of ways to prevent gaming but I donā€™t remember. Probably @nick.eth can fill the gap).

You can probably take back the 5% at https://reclaim.ens.domains though no one has tried recovering from not revealed bid so not 100% sure. Let me know if you find any issues so I can look into it.

Are you talking about the original auctions back in 2017?

Yes exactly, it was may or June 2017 that this happened.

Iā€™m now trying to reclaim the deposited amounts and if Iā€™m able to reclaim this ā€œunrevealedā€ amount I would be very grateful.

Thanks.

Just wondering if that matters, if it was the 2017 auction or a more recent auction? :slight_smile:

Thanks!

As Makoto says, 95% of unrevealed bids was burned. If thereā€™s any for you to claim, it will show up at https://reclaim.ens.domains/

Alright, that is all clear. Thanks for that!

While requesting the refund I noticed that for some I had an actual address while for others it seemed more of a txns code.

Do you by any chance know what the txns code refers to? Weā€™re those the ones that were potentially unrevealed?

Thanks again for all your support on this!

Did it look something like 0xe05... has 0.01 ETH deposit? If so, itā€™s called labelhash which is the original format stored in blockchain. We try to decode most of the names but these are the ones we could not decode so we wonā€™t be able to know which one it is.
