there's no way these aren't troll bids.
I'm guessing one of them is a hexbear admin and the other is a troll.
The admins have stated that they don't care about the domain, so it's probably either a troll or the crypto coin people trying to gain the domain.
I'm out of the loop, crypto coin people? Is there a hexbear crypto or something?
Yep, though obviously unaffiliated. It's why Hexbear is blocked in China IIRC.
Hexbear admins decided pretty much right away not to engage in the auction. The bidding war is probably between someone with too much money and hate for hexbear, and an agent of the auctioneer driving up the price.
