I'm back, with a new art book titled "MINING POOLS", and it is bigger and better than the last book "Chasing Casascius" which was well received by bitcoin enthusiasts and collectors globally.

This book features Minted Seats created and provided by OgNasty of Nasty Fans and Nasty Mining. It is on sale now at www.miningpools.co (http://www.miningpools.co) , where bitcoin is of course accepted, along side Apple Pay, Credit Cards and Alipay.

Just like last time, Bitcoin Escrow is certainly available via trusted escrow providers such as Blazed and OgNasty so you can purchase with confidence. Group Buys for continental distribution can also be accommodated.

WHAT?

MINING POOLS: Bitcoin Miners & Blockchain Treasure is a new art book and the spiritual successor to my last book Chasing Casascius. The story is about a prospecting bitcoin miners and the challenges they go through choosing a pool, collecting block rewards, and helping the blockchain grow!

It is a large coffee table book measuring in at 13in by 11in (33cm x 28cm). It features a series of coins called Minted Seats throughout pristine locales, in possession by beautiful photo actresses in the roles of bitcoin miners.


WHO?

Some of the bitcoin miners are familiar faces, if you bought the out-of-print Chasing Casascius ;) and features high quality photographs of the beautiful bitcoin mining enthusiasts in 70 spreads, sure to dazzle your guests and complement your decor for ages to come.

WHEN?

It is on sale now at www.miningpools.co (https://www.miningpools.co) !  ;D ships immediately from our distribution center!

Thank you for this.   ;D


After seeing this book in person I can say it is high quality and there are a TON of photos in it, including some that are NSFW...  

Congrats on the release!  :) Always cool to have new crypto books.

Its been a lot of fun and all of the collaborators in the book love learning about crypto its unique circumstances

deflationary-like currencies for the win, book trades for 0.14 BTC (still $124.99 USD) and there are still copies in stock after the holiday demand and shipping now

Does the 0.14btc price include shipping?
Otherwise it would just be cheaper buying one directly from the Nasty Store.

it does include shipping, the nasty store price is set by me and goes through me and is the exact same as on the direct site so thats an ironic thing to say haha   :D ;D

I just noticed the price difference between your post and OgNasty's but what I didn't notice till now was the post dates, my mistake.

all good its just a conversion from $124.99, alot of volatility in the exchange rate. the sites auto calculate how much you'll actually need to pay if the exchange rate has changed

Thank you, I've been busy since Chasing Casascius! Hard to believe that was only six months ago

Yeah, I really want to see the "coins"...

I've received 2 copies.

  :D :D :D

no shortage of those or anything else

I was very impressed by the photography and high production quality of this book.  It surpassed my expectations.  It is much more risqué than Chasing Casascius, including some mild nudity.  The multiple models and locations involved show the time and effort that went into it, and the featuring of NastyFans coins makes this a must have addition for any Minted Seats collection.

for some reason this reminds me that I should really make an email subscriber list, since most customers aren't on this site

Nice, 0.13 BTC already

anybody's tx going in the next blocks?

working on the email list

mine came last week

I had to look this up, will that book get re-released?

It was sold with a casascius gold bar raffle, you'll have to check the after market occasionally

How many of each type of book were printed?

Chasing Casascius had a print run capped at 5000 on demand, but less were sold before the final sale which was the bitcoin halving. So somewhere between 1 and 5000

Mining Pools is now in print and sold directly and through various distribution partners, with no plans to go out of print right now. They are in stock now and ship immediately, distinct from print on demand. This thread was moved into collectibles because there's no general book section and is about collectibles (NastyFans Minted Seats), so I can see how that could be misleading because of the format and community on this website.

I'm pleased to announce the book has been chosen as a bitcoin store staff pick! OP updated

I just want prospective miners have to know what mining is about  :D

Over the years I've been asked several times about this book and where to purchase it.  We had to remove it from our shop after losing contact with photonresearch.  This is unfortunate because a lot of these images have gone unseen.  I purchased the images from the shoot and used a few of them on my Bitpic project, but a very limited number of people have seen the entire collection of photos.  In order to rectify this tragedy of artistic excellence, I am considering offering the images for sale as NFTs.  If you are interested in potentially bidding on or viewing the collection, shoot me a personal message and I will attempt to keep you informed.
