startAuctionsAndBid - Feature?

[x011]

It seems that registrar.ens.domains uses startAuctionsAndBid function instead of start-auction and bid.
Implementing the startAuctionsAndBid would save eth and time, do you plan to implement this?

I had not planned to support this, as it leaks information and connects a bidder to an auction.

This will also go away anyways, once we move to the rolling auction method.

I am open to a discussion on using it though. I think the gas difference is fairly small, but may be useful for tools that wish to use one transaction to place a bid, but there would need to be some documentation explaining the privacy issues.

I guess you could create a --no_privacy override switch and allow users to start an auction and bid at once by using startAuctionsAndBid

Sorry catching up on old issues...

This is no longer relevant since the legacy auction is no longer used... So, closing. :)
