NastyFans Minted Seat Features:

• Receives & Stores Bitcoin Distributions for 1 NastyFans Seat
• 1oz .999 Fine Silver
• 39mm in Diameter
• Tamper-Evident Security Hologram (first 150 w/ Diffusing Insert)
• Engraved Public & Private Keys
• Sequential Public Key Vanity Addresses (i.e. 1Nastyxx)
• Limited 500 Coin Production Batch
• Sealed in Plastic Airtite Capsule
• 50% of Sales Donated to NastyFans
• Coin Analyzer available at nastyfans.uberbills.com (http://nastyfans.uberbills.com)

These coins are similar to physical bitcoins you see from Casascius and others.  I'll highlight a few of the major differences. 

First of it's kind!  Coins are tied to NastyFans seats and not preloaded with BTC.  By not preloading these coins with BTC, they are not only cheaper to purchase than their competitors, but the potential is there for the BTC address engraved on the coin to continue rising forever with regular NastyFans BTC distributions, as opposed to being a fixed amount as with similar physical Bitcoin options.  It's like having a Bitcoin miner with no costs or effort to maintain.

No more printed keys!  These keys are engraved, and forever attached to the coin.  Light diffusing material is inserted between the engraved private key and the hologram to help alleviate security concerns.

No more firstbits!  Your entire public key is engraved on the coin, eliminating any uncertainty that may exist about your coin's public address.

Sequential vanity Bitcoin addresses!  Know exactly what coin number you hold by the public address.  Each coin begins with 1Nasty and is sequentially numbered with the following two characters. 

Limited production batch!  Only 500 coins produced.  Being tied to seats instead of BTC also makes these coins extremely limited, as there are a limited # of NastyFans seats.

Revenue sharing!  With 50% of sales being donated to NastyFans, this is a giant fundraiser for all NastyFans.  You know your funds are going back to the Bitcoin community and helping to support a great organization that is dedicated on doing good for Bitcoin.  It is my hope that these coins will provide happiness to existing fans, while at the same time exposing NastyFans to a new group of potential members.

Damn it if this was announced sooner I would haven't spent all my paycheck on Friday/cyber monday :( and like heck am I selling my seats to buy the coin.

*Devils advocate*...In fact if I'm a seat holder I'm not sure what the advantage of having this coin is.

I dropped as many hints as I could in the NASTY MINING | NASTY POOL (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86854.0) thread.

I'd say the advantage is that you can hold them in your hand.  Being innovative and limited also makes them collectible.


COIN REVIEWS:

What's the timeline for shipping the initial orders?

That's a spiffy looking coin.

It depends on a last minute decision I'm in the process of making.  Right now I am testing different light diffusing plastics to see which will provide the most security from light tampering techniques.  Once I have made a final decision (waiting on a few more samples to test), I will rush the order and start engraving coins like a madman.  I am going to do everything in my power to get these out before Christmas.  If anyone who orders their coin today does not have it in hand by the end of the year, I will consider my timeline as a failure.



Yes.  If you place an international order, please send 0.02 BTC to the address in my signature as a tip.



Thank you.  The coin designer would tell you I was extremely picky about it. :)

I really like the look of the hologram!

Thank you.  The graphic I used for it to be made was highly detailed and the most favorite artwork I think I've ever had made.  It shows the NastyFans/NASTY MINING/Nasty Pool logos as well as the 3 separate coins.  I wish I could post it so you could see the detail and awesomeness that is the hologram, but I fear that might be a security concern.

Still have these?

What does the 1g pool coin look like?

The 2 free 1g coins Black Friday offer is no longer valid, but here is the 1g Nasty Pool Coin render as requested.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3mCKD.png

I've decided on using a combination of materials to help secure the private key, while also making sure to cause no ill effects to the silver.  The end result is a more secure coin, with a circular bump beneath the middle of the hologram.  I made sure to cut the circle to fit nicely beneath the circle in the middle of the hologram design, so it gives it a 3D look with a secure feel.  Final coins have begun being produced, with 4 coins now totally finished.

where are the real pics? these are all 3d renderings. we need some real life bling

Thats one sexy hologram!

*nudge nudge*

:)

Check the second post.   ;)

Here is a new one showing the bump:
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3mnyG.jpeg

I'm not going to pretend the pictures are good, or even decent.  Once they start arriving in the hands of Fans, I'm sure some better pics will be made available.  My apologies for that.



I would also like to say that DobZombie was instrumental in the designing of the hologram and very patient with my requests.  Thanks Dob!

All US orders have been shipped.  International orders will be shipping later this week.

These will be available until they are all sold.  I have about 420 left.

No updates on international shipping.  All I can say is that it COULD take a couple months for them to get mailed from overseas if you place an international order now.  From time to time I do have someone send international packages for me, but I won't make any promises.  I would like to get all previously placed international orders out by year end though.

Updated the OP (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352515.msg3773054#msg3773054) with a new picture.  Here's a couple more.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3mALP.jpeg

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3mHeq.jpeg

All ordered coins have now been created.  I'll be making another trip to the post office on Saturday, so if you order in the next 24 hours you should have your coin in time for a last minute Christmas present.

I also cross-posted this thread on Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1t8kuk/nasty_mining_presents_1oz_999_silver_physical/).

Just received mine today - the coin is absolutely beautiful!   Love the detail on it and the hologram as well!  These pictures really don't do them justice, but figured I'd post anyway! 

https://i.imgur.com/zhvXENF.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/9piksvh.jpg

If anyone wants I can post a comparison picture too with a Casascius coin - these are much bigger - even the hologram on the 1 ounce coin is about the entire size of the casascius coin.

Received these yesterday, and they are fantastic! When do the minted seats start accumulating distributions?

Seats begin accumulating distributions immediately.  However, there is a threshold set for minimum payouts to avoid dust accumulating on the address, so it may be a few weeks before you notice a payout.  You will soon be able to check the balance held below the threshold on nastyfans.org once development is complete.

I just paid, can't wait to have one in my hand!

Do I also get one NastyFans 1g .999 Fine Silver Collector's Rounds (2013)?
Didn't quite understand, I'm too sick to think properly atm :-(

Come back and let us know what you think once you've received your coin.  :)

The 1g silver collector's rounds (both the 2013 & 2014 coins) are no longer free, but if you would like them, send me a PM and I can include them with your order for a very small fee.

See below quote from nonnakip.  The payout threshold for these coins has been set at 0.001 BTC.  Nastyfans.org has also been updated so that you can now monitor the amount held below the threshold.

Received my coin about a week before Christmas, and I must say that the pictures don't do it justice.
The minting on the face of the coin picks up the minute details of the design wonderfully, especially on the dissipating effect of the water surface over NASTYFANS.
And the holographic reverse displays a beautiful psychedelic composition, I might get a video of the reflection to post here later.

Thanks for organizing this coin project for the NASTYFANS!

You're welcome.

All domestic and international orders up to this point have now been shipped.  :)  My apologies for the delay with regards to international deliveries.

Took 5 days to get to me here in my village in England.
What a beautiful coin. I am so proud, I'm bursting.  :D

I saw that No_2 included this coin in his official list of physical crypto coins thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=397258.0).  :)

Agreed, they look gorgeous. Mine arrived as well. Don't have a camera that would make pictures that do them any justice, though. 

Let's say that after 5 years, a NastyFans coin has accumulated about 5 BTC (wouldn't that be nice) - when I take the hologram off the back and swipe the BTC, does the now-exposed coin continue to receive dividends?

If you wanted, you could send the coin back and have the seat un-minted back to your NastyFans.org account.  You would also receive a payment for the silver in the coin.

The answer to your questions is: yes.

The unmint option is something OgNasty is offering and will be respected by the fanclub. This is the only option that will stop donations to the coin.

I uploaded a video of the engraving process for those of you who may have been curious.  I engrave all of these coins personally as they are ordered.  Enjoy.

What kind of machine are you using?

I'm using a Metaza MPX.

I just signed up at NastyFans.
I have to save up some BTC to get going but this site looks great and the coins look amazing.  I cannot wait to get one.
 :)

Unless it has changed, if you don't have any seats your account will be deleted after 24 hours. No big deal you can create another one, but just a heads up in case that happens you know why. Its not that we don't like you!

Thanks for the heads up.
I was thinking of waiting a bit.
If I can swing it after I pay lightfoot I will get some.

@ OgNasty

I logged in and bought a seat. I like your setup for NastyFans. It's a good way to achieve a funding goal. However I'm wondering if the minted coin price is based upon a USD to MtGox pricing. MtGox is way off (about $370 vs $650 elsewhere or 57% lower) right now and the price of the coin seems very high to me. If you are intending to price based upon your fiat cost, the calculation may be way off (by about 70% high right now).

At any rate, I'm interested in your minted coins, but not at that price. Even with potential "collector value" involved, they are priced way too high, in my opinion. If there was a chance they would become filled with their cost in BTC I might feel differently. However, at current rates, if there were no increase in difficulty, it would take a very long time for them to become filled with their cost in BTC.

If I'm reading something wrong here or misinformed, inform me. I'll be happy to edit or yank this post.

-MikeMark

It will take even longer for a Casascius coin to reach the BTC paid for it, or any coin in existence.  ;)   I'd say what makes this coin special is that it actually has a chance of reaching more in it's denomination than it's cost.  No other coin in mankind's history (to my knowledge) has that possibility.

Our pricing formula (which is a mixture of USD and BTC values) is based on mtgox rates.  I understand your complaint and hopefully when mtgox resumes withdrawals, things will return to normal.  If there continues to be a wide spread between exchanges for much longer, we will look into using another exchange.

Excellent answer.

I will wait.

Thank You,

-MikeMark

The MtGox price is even more absurd now. I guess the issue with using another exchange price is technical (API)?

MikeMark if you want to buy a NastyFans seat coin, I'll sell you one of mine at the issue price using the Bitstamp price. PM if interested.

The pricing formula has been updated to use the blockchain.info rate.  Thanks nonnakip!  That should have dropped the price.  I'll look into how the formula can be adjusted to maintain a little more balance during these price swings. 

OgNasty, really looking forward to seeing the coins!

I also sent a bit to your sig address, but PMs aren't sending for me at the moment...  will try again soon.  Zip = 97219

More than 100 seats have now been minted!

That is a cool milestone congratulations.   ;D

do you ship worldwide? norway/sweden? bulk amounts?

Yes, I will ship worldwide.  I typically ask international orders to take pity on me and send 0.02 BTC to the address in my signature for each international order.  I have no problem shipping bulk amounts, but there are less than 400 coins left for purchase at the moment.

Scott Fargo from Cryptocoinsnews.com did a piece on the NastyFans Seat Coin.  Check it out.

That is a wicked little video.  I may add the link to the article if it's ok?

Just received my silver coin in the mail yesterday its just awesome a real work of art  ;D
Thanks

That coin looks sexy!  I cannot wait for mine to arrive.

To save me from signing up. How much are these currently going for?

Thanks

You don't need to sign up to buy them any more.  https://nastyfans.org/mint

ah thanks for the link

How long does it usually take to get the first satoshis into this coin?  A friend of mine got this coin a month ago but claims it is still empty.

Very nice looking coin.  Hopefully a few more reviews with pictures will come in. Great job though!

That depends on a multitude of factors (p2pool luck, coin sales, pool usage, network difficulty, etc.)...  We are waiting on the next batch of upgraded ASICs, so I assume donations will be rising quite a bit in the next few weeks.  You can check the coin's balance prior to it hitting the payout threshold at any time by logging into your account at NastyFans.org.  If you don't have an account at NastyFans.org, you can sign up and use nastyfans.org/post to post a message with the coin's address and your username to have the coin linked to your account.



There are a few more pics on page 2 of the thread if you missed those.  Although, I'm always happy to have people post more.  :)

I don't know if you saw my review and interview with OgNasty about the coin and Nasty Mining or not but here is the link.
www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/nasty-mining-nastyfans-coin-different-way-mine-man-behind/2014/03/17 (http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/nasty-mining-nastyfans-coin-different-way-mine-man-behind/2014/03/17)
The coin is stunning.
The amount of detail is amazing.  I find myself carrying it with me all the time.  When I show it to people even non-bitcoin people they love it.
It is one of the most unique and cool coins I have seen.

I've sent out quite a few of these lately.  Anyone else have pictures/feedback to post?

Hi Og,
I am going to post a couple pictures tonight of the two I have.
They are just brilliant coins.  Thanks again so much.

Oh cool, didn't even know these existed!  8)

They do exist!  ;)
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h298/misterclean182/MMsanta.jpg

Received my coin.  Looks really nice.

How do you reveal the private key when the time comes to do so? ???
Not that I want to right now but just curious.

It is under the hologram.
 ;D

So it lifts off with a thumbnail or razor knife  ???

Pretty much.  I would suggest if you do ever do it to use your finger nail so you do not gouge the silver or the key underneath.

Thanks, its so stunning I dont even want to take it out of the plastic container  :)

I like, very beautiful

I have received my NastyFans coin and I'm delighted.  It looks great but I, too, hesitate to take it out of its protective case and get my Nasty fingerprints all over it.  Thanks OgNasty, much appreciated! :)

Let me know when more of these are available for UK Delivery, I would like to buy a few if i could?

They are available for UK delivery now.

NastyPool Contest Announcement

Anyone who mines on NastyPool (nastyfans.org:9332) from June 10th through June 12th will be entered into a lottery. You will get a lottery ticket for each MH/s you average from midnight June 10th until midnight June 13th. Even GPU miners should be able to earn a lottery ticket and maybe some CPU miners!

When mining for the lottery, use your NastyFans username as the miner username. If your miner is less than 1 GH/s it is recommended to add +5 to the end of your username. This will allow the pool to more quickly recognize the work your miner is doing. Just keep in mind it is limited to NastyFans members. (Of course, for 0.0393 BTC anyone can buy a seat at nastyfans.org and join the fun!)

After June 12th the lottery tickets will be distributed and visible from your NastyFans account. Later there will be a drawing.

The prize? ... A FREE MINTED SEAT! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=352515.msg3773054#msg3773054)

So get your CPU/GPU/FPGA/ASIC miners fired up for 3 days of Nasty Mining!

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3MhUw.png (http://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/news/nasty-mining-celebrates-2-year-anniversary-nastypool-mining-lotto/2014/06/10)

Hey is this still going on, or is this a typo?

No, the contest is now over.

Is there interest in a NastyFans Bitcoin Analyzer?

Most definitely.  Are you the creator of http://casascius.uberbills.com ?  If so, I am a fan.

While nonnakip is planning on putting a NastyFans Bitcoin Analyzer together for us eventually, there are quite a few things above it on the to-do list.  I think a 3rd party analyzer would actually be great even if we did create our own, as it would be the first time a 3rd party developed software for NastyFans, which I would love to encourage.  :)

This would be a great utility.
I hope it gets done.

That is correct. If you can get me a list of the public addresses, I can start running the scans and whip up an interface. Can you post some high-res pics of the coin as well? :)

I'll check on getting you the list.  I only have my phone's camera though.  Anyone out there with one of these coins and a good camera that feels like posting some pictures?

Awesome, thanks! I have access to a mirrorless camera at work, maybe I'll just buy a coin one of these paychecks.

Ask and you shall receive my friend.  :)

https://nastyfans.org/mint.json

Thanks! http://nastyfans.uberbills.com/

Happy 4th of July everyone!

I should mention that last Friday's NastyFans distribution contained funding for some of the first Minted Seats!

Great to see so many 1Nasty addresses in the distribution.  :)

5oz NastyFans Minted Seats Update (17 left available for preorder)

Here's the first look at our upcoming 5oz coins.  Some people have talked to me about getting their orders in ASAP due to concerns about a falling Bitcoin price.  Since I will not be placing the order until I have 20 of the coins preordered to help with costs, that leaves some of you watching as your saved bitcoin's value dwindles and me being hesitant to accept preorders as a volatile Bitcoin price could result in a disastrous scenario for preorders.  Pricing of the coins has been set at $400 and the 5 seats will be free for all who preorder.  If you do wish to preorder, I have been talked into accepting them as opposed to taking pledges, but it will come with some risk.  I have opened a bitfinex.com account and am willing to accept your BTC and hold it in USD until the order is ready to be placed.  This will allow those of you who want to spend your BTC now the ability to do so and it will allow me to begin taking a count of preorders so that fans can have a good idea of when the order will actually be placed.  It does however put your funds at the risk of a 3rd party.  If bitfinex goes through a mtgox type scenario while we are awaiting placing the order, I cannot accept responsibility.  Please contact me if you are fine with that risk and want to preorder before the BTC price falls any further.  For the rest of you, I will keep you updated when we get close to the 20 preordered coins so that you can order with BTC direct from me without any 3rd party risk at that time should you choose to do so.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3Mdra.png

As you can see, the increased size of a 5oz coin allowed for a new added design on the back (hologram superimposed for look).  Another addition to this coin will be that it is being minted in proof-like quality.  Due to this, the coins will ship to me individually packaged instead of in rolls, so they should be much more free from scratches.

Og,
A few questions:
 
Total coins minted?
What is the approx diameter?  
Since the coin is likely very large, are you shipping these in some slab or airtite?

There will be 100 of the 5oz tokens minted.
The diameter is 2.5".
They will come in a plastic airtite.

Is the price still at 0.5 BTC? 

Prices are set in USD.  $125 for the 1oz/1seat & $400 for the 5oz/5seat version.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3GVFJ.png (https://nastyfans.org/mint)

Is the discounted price 0.23 BTC each ?

Yes. This is the lowest price these have ever been offered at in either BTC or USD. Don't miss out.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this Bitcoin Black Friday a success.

how much now for the 1oz coin?

getting 1qty.

I recently picked one up.  At the time of purchase, it was 0.47BTC.  The coin is very cool.  I'm definitely not a coin expert as this is my first ever purchase of any kind of collectible coin, but it comes in a very nice clear plastic air-tight holder and there aren't any visible artifacts on the coin itself that I can see.  Hologram on the back.

We have just surpassed 150 minted seats.  The final 350 1oz minted seats will not include the light diffusing insert.

That is very cool.

I worked with jsmit332 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=232008) to make this awesome banner advertising NastyFans Minted Seats.  If anyone ever needs anything like this created, I urge you to check out his thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=828422.0).

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3QPaC.gif (https://nastyfans.org/mint)

This looks very nice, I have seen work from him, great designer!

I've wanted this coin for a while now but haven't been able to get one so far. Would anybody that owns one be interested in trading your coin for a couple different physical cryptos? Shoot me a PM if interested we can discuss ideas.

P.S. That banner is badass, really nice & smooth animation with it.

Can't you just buy one of OgNasty?

Yeah, I just don't have the extra funds to spend at the moment. Plus I just enjoy trading coins and making deals.

have any casascius 0.5s? I'd be interested in a trade

I don't have any nasty fans coins but would order one direct from nastyfans.org to your delivery address in exchange for the casascius

Only one 0.5, and would not want to come off of that one at this time.

Thanks for throwing an idea out there though. I just figured if somebody had multiples of the 1oz NastyFans rounds, then they could possibly get some new coins they don't have and I could get another coin for my collection off of my 'Want List'. I would try to think of a trade beneficial to both parties. Not trying to thread jack though, so shoot me a PM maybe if anybody is interested.

No worries about thread jacking. I like folks that are willing to barter.  Maybe if you listed what you had available for trade it would help.  Good luck!

^^^ What he said. 

If you don't want to list publicly, toss me a PM also.  I've got a handful of these, I can trade one, or as camolist suggested a fresh one could be purchased and sent to you directly in exchange.

BTW, OgNasty, any update on the 5oz pucks (so as to redirect back on-topic at least slightly :)  )?  Can't wait to get my hands on them...

Right on, thanks for the cool response man! Alright I'll dive into it here. I have many more valuable/rare physical cryptos, but I'll list what I'm willing to trade for a 1 oz. NastyFans coin. Willing to trade multiple lower-value coins to equal the amounts. Ideally this would be good for a physical crypto collector who has an extra NastyFans round and is missing some of these in their collection:

-multiple Lealana 0.1 BTC Brass
-Crypto Imperator 10,000 DOGE, Funded
-couple Cryptolator Unchained Copper, COA, leatherette
-bhcoins Series 3, COA
-MS-67 bhcoins Series 3, COA
-multiple bhcoins Series 4, COA
-MicroSoul 0.01 BTC 2013, Funded
-multiple Serpcoin DIY2
-Antana Statistics "Thank You Casascius" round
-Bitcoin Suisse AG "Demo" Certificate

Also have a few non-BTC Silver rounds and NastyFans seats that we could possibly work with. If anybody's interested in a possible trade just let me know and we'll go from there!

One of these coins has been put up for auction.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1177682.0

this is one of the most unique coins available guys  ;) ;)

These are very cool 1oz rounds, I keep a few at work. It's the only coin that I know of that can gain Bitcoin over time. A great investment and a conversation piece.

20% off 1oz MINTED seats for Black Friday!

Awesome! How much for 4?

If you use your own seats and mint them through your account, it should be $80 each.

How do I mint a seat through my account?  Am I missing a link somewhere?

EDIT: found it.  its on the account home page.

I'm auctioning off 5 of these coins in order to reach 200 1oz Minted Seats sold by year's end.  Last chance to grab yourself a deal!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1297401.0

I received today one of this coins that i bought on that action. The shipments was fast and secure with tracking number. And the coin is very nice. A great coin that collectors must have.

The 1oz 24kt gold highlighted coins have arrived!  There is a $15 premium to the all silver version.  50 were made in total, with 35 currently left for sale.  PM to purchase.

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/3nu33.jpeg

I've started shipping the gold highlighted coins.  21 of them have now been sold.  29 remaining.

I would like to buy one how much?

$130

How many of the gold highlighted are left?

I should drink coffee before I post -_-'. Thanks!

OgNasty has informed me that my 1oz 24kt gold highlighted coin will be shipped soon. I can't wait to receive it. ;D

You and me both :)

Mine should've been shipped two weeks ago...
Let's see when it'll arrive.

My 2oz minted seat and 1oz gold highlighted con arrived today.  They both look amazing but I really love this 1oz beauty.

Just received my gold plated coins. They look absolutely amazing in the hovering frames ;D

I agree Zeroxal! Hovering frames are amazing. ;D

I want one of these gold coins where do i send the bitcoin?

The address in my signature.

I am making a serious dission this week as to what coin i can afford to start my collection with, im almost certain it will be a nasty fan coin since these look very well minted and are not too expensive.
just a couple of questions,
1) Is there any 1oz gold highlight coins left available, if so how many?
2) How many 1oz have been or will be produced?

I think i will go with the 1oz but gold highlight or plain silver is the question for me to decide now.

I would start small, and expand. The cheapest are the 1 gram NastyFans and NastyPool coins. The 1oz NF coin was my first, before that I collected a ton of the casascius coins.

There are 500 1oz Minted Seats that have been produced.  50 of those 500 have gold highlights added.  You can see numbers on how may are in existence here: http://analyzer.nastyfans.org (not totally up to date currently, but will be shortly)

Thanks, any left and if so is it just a $15 premium on the silver, $115 +$15 = $130 for 1oz gold highlight?
And i noticed the btc price on OP next to the fiat price was probably set when thread was started, and no linger matches the fiat price, are these sold as btc only price (0.20036btc) or $115 payable in btc equivalent?

There are some gold highlighted coins left.  They are $130.  In the OP, it uses an updating image for the BTC price.  This forum caches images (or possibly your browser does also), so it doesn't always update before displaying it for you.  However, it is showing the correct price for me currently.

Thank mate, price is showing a match for me now that i am using my laptop, maybe it was the browser on my phone i was using when i wrote the last post.

I still have a little thinking to do but the gold highlight 1oz is so far at the top of my 1st coin list  :)

The 1oz Silver (without gold) arrived today and it looks AMAZING!  I think its my favorite silver coin right now.  Will update with some pics soon.

They're real!  Image courtesy of buckrogers.

At the online auction enter the number of seats to buy and click "buy". A Bitcoin address is provided where you send your Bitcoin. The seats will be transferred to your membership account after the transaction is confirmed.

Does that mean I can buy seats that are not attached to a coin?

What does having an account on your website do?

The list of coins that you have produced are:

1 OZ Silver
1 OZ silver Gilt
2 OZ silver
2 OZ silver gilt
2 OZ gold
4 OZ gold (pending)
5 OZ silver
10 OZ silver
10 OZ silver gilt
Nastypenny
Bitcoin Rounds 4 different ones total
1G Nasty Pool
1G Nastyfan

I am on a quest to own 1 of every coin you have produced (if possible)

Can you show me a picture of what the 1 OZ diffusing insert looks like? Is that on both the 1 OZ silver and the 1 OZ gilt?

Do you do the engraving of the private keys yourself? Doesnt the engraving machine have to "save" the engraving ? (talking about the private keys)

Yes.



It is nonnakip's website, but an account allows you to set an address to receive BTC distributions, as well as participate in polls.  There is a FAQ of sorts here: https://nastyfans.org/about



You forgot the 5oz silver gilt.



No, I did not take pictures.  However, they look like a small metallic disc with a small plastic disc acting as an insulator.  They were only included in the first 150 1oz all silver Minted Seats.



Yes.  I do the engraving and key generation personally.  The engraving machine "saves" data the same way a printer would "save" the data it prints.  I am aware of this and manage it accordingly.

Gold highlighted minted seats are now completely sold out.

 :o looking forward to getting in on the "going green" NastyFans mining pool.. cant wait to get my coin..hopefully in next few weeks! thanks so much OG

if you havnt seen the updates on the solar powered and wind powered run mining pool you should check it out...

Received my 1 oz. silver today and it looks flawless right down to the perfectly centered hologram.  Would like to see a 1 oz. gold coin, I would be first in line.


Thank you for the great coin

You're welcome.  I engrave and assemble each coin after it's ordered, so a lot of care goes into each one.  :)

A 1oz gold coin would have to be really thin, but it's possible.  Perhaps a 1oz gold coin in a different coin series down the line.

Perhaps it could be the size of the american gold eagle 33 mm 2.9 thickness so it isn't too thin.  Just a thought.

I own a 1 oz silver minted seat, worth around $800 in bitcoin right now.  I do not see anywhere on how to withdraw the bitcoin from the physical coin, or if I do so, does that mean that I no longer have a seat that will continue to generate bitcoin?  I have read tolns of reviews and blogs, and there is no information about it.  I know there is a hologram on the coin, but do I need to peel it off to get access to withdraw the bitcoin?  And again, does that mean that I will no longer be generating bitcoin on that seat?

You would have to peel the holo sticker and import the private key into an address.  Effectively ruining the coin.  The private key would still have the seat attached to it however.  you might do better listing the coin for sale on the forum instead of peeling the holo.

Seems like you loaded it with the amount a whore would get. (Anyone get that reference?)

You are better off auctioning it here than peeling it

My 1oz silver (without gold) coin is for sale and it includes a seat.  The address is engraved on it.  The donations attached to the seat that have been collecting since I bought it in June 2016 are included in your purchase price as I have not had any withdrawals from what has collected.  I will ask OG and/or nonnakip to transfer ownership of the seat and donations to you as the new owner.  Not sure what the current price is for these, so feel free to make me an offer.

You can check the current price anytime here: https://nastyfans.org/mint

You can also lookup your coin on the analyzer and get the exact donation amounts if you so desired: http://analyzer.nastyfans.org

It has collected 0.00041002 BTC in donations since June 2016 and the current price on the nastyfans shop is around 0.01 for the coin.  The seat is worth 0.002.  I'll include shipping anywhere in the US for 0.013 with a tracking number.  If interested let me know.

Hello,
I still have my 1oz silver (without gold) coin which is for sale and it includes a seat.  The address is engraved on it.  The donations attached to the seat that have been collecting since I bought it in June 2016 are included in your purchase price as I have not had any withdrawals from what has collected.  I will ask OG and/or nonnakip to transfer ownership of the seat and donations to you as the new owner.  Not sure what the current price is for these, so feel free to make me an offer.

Total BTC Collected by my 1 seat since June 5, 2016 : 0.00045242 BTC
Value:   $35.66 of coin and collected distributions

PM your offer including shipping and please specify State and Zip code (if USA) or Country.  I prefer to ship with tracking.

WOW.... less than $3.00 in 2 years and 3 months......  ::)

Good luck with your sale.

You’re right. There are lots of coins out there that have earned more free BTC.  :D

Oh wait, this is the ONLY physical BTC line ever created that generates actual coins.  Let’s complain about it!

I wasn’t complaining, but since you directed an ignorant comment to me.... let’s run with it.  I would love for you to explain this “free” BTC.  Didn’t customers pay a premium to get your said “free” BTC?? 

If you don’t like the product, don’t buy.  If you don’t like the returns, get involved.  If you just want to bitch and complain, create a new thread.  I’m quite thrilled with 30,000 seats generating $3 each in two years (that’s $120,000 in donations to NastyFans)!  It wildly surpasses any expectation I had when I raised a couple hundred dollars to run an FPGA miner more than 6 years ago.  I can’t wait to hear the amount people are complaining about in another 7 years.  I’m sure it will be equally impressive and those who own this piece of crypto history are unlikely to be disappointed.

This thread just broke 30,000 views!

How is anyone even claiming this is a bad return. Seat is worth 0.002 and collected 0.00041002 in two years so about 20% (future yield may be lower ofc). What's the problem exactly? Trolls gonna troll.

If you would like statistics that aren't skewed, you can check out the following page that was created over the course of around a year:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180825232210/http://minifrij.com/nasty/

Assuming that the return is linear over the year (which it wouldn't be) and the return is on one seat (which it absolutely isn't), the return halved is around 0.00020501. Compared to the price of a seat around one year ago, 0.0077BTC, the return is closer to 2.5%. Not that this is accurate whatsoever though, as the reward given is a result of multiple seats, therefore meaning the percentage return is significantly lower.

Regarding the sale price of a seat alone, in USD (as Og loves to reference), you would have made more than double your money by just keeping the BTC used at this point (and up to 3x more over the course of the last year), rather than buying the seat over a year.

Now, if those aren't returns worth creaming yourself over, what is?

---

I have no intention of replying to anyone over this, the statistics are there for anyone to see and figure out. If you expect me to answer anything, don't hold your breath.

It’s all on the blockchain. Do your own research. All the info is provided. No other coin generates anything and many are more expensive. Again, if you don’t like, don’t buy. Complaining about a feature no other coin has makes you a bit foolish. Almost as foolish as creating a chart where the historical price paid changes based on future exchange rates. It’s basically admitting you are committing tax fraud with your personal finances. It is clear you guys have a grudge and are presenting dishonest information in an attempt to bash my products. It is pathetic the attempts you make to try and harm this community organization. I sent a $4,000 donation just a week or so ago... Minted Seats are unique and incredible. I don’t need your support, but the continued hate towards such a groundbreaking product is going to make you seem more and more foolish in time as well as an enemy to Bitcoin innovation.

Feel free to continue the trolling though. This will be gold to reference in a few decades. 31,000 views!

Again.... no trolling from me.  I was researching a coin.  I know nothing about you and could honestly care less about you personally.  How could I have a grudge against you?  Lol.  I also own the 2017, 2018 binary round BTC set and the 2018 LTC set.  You know nothing about me.....  I just made a comment that I was unimpressed with the return.... I wished the person good luck with their sale.  You then got lippy with me so I looked a little further.  I’m not trolling you buddy.  You just got all chesty with me and I’m not the type to be walked on.  You are the one who looks terrible in this situation.  .....and yet you have so much to say except the answer to my question about the “free” BTC.  This has become boring and like talking to the wall.  Best of luck with all your products.  

You seem to take issue with the word free. I should have called the funds what they are, donations. I guess they aren’t free, as hundreds of involved Bitcoiners are the ones helping generate the donations with their efforts.

I don’t care if I look terrible. I care about Bitcoin. I care about innovation. I care about mankind. This project was created to show there is a better more fair method of distributing funds in an organization than the CEO making a fortune and walking with a golden parachute. You either see the genius in the structure or you don’t. You either want to be a part of this piece of Bitcoin history or you don’t. The judge will be the test of time though, not some newbies who don’t understand finance and wonder why the organization they bash instead of foster is failing to meet their ridiculous expectations. I think the problem is just ignorance and a lack of experience with investments. NastyFans seats have been one of the greatest returns I’ve ever made after a 2 decade long investment career. The only thing that has outperformed them is Bitcoin itself. Having the seats minted to a physical coin that stores the distributions, well, that’s just awesome.  ;D

There is a minimum accrual before it gets paid out on the blockchain (not sure what that number might be). I have one of the earliest coins and it did get a blockchain payout once the minimum was reached in addition to ongoing accrual.

Anyway, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to buy these coins, or anything else, but I don't see the need for hostility about it.

Yes it is possible they are bad investments. It is also possible some aspect (the coin itself for collectable purposes, the silver, the seat, and/or the mining/donation accruals) or the combination of them makes it a good investment, or that someone might not care and see it as a good community builder. Who knows, really. Participate if you like or not if you don't.

Or keep coming out with 'limited" number of 1oz silver coins price them at $250.

The last 1oz coins I released were 3x for under $200 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2286786.0).  That includes generating custom addresses, engraving key pairs, attaching holograms, and a donation to NastyFans...  If that's too expensive, I also have the binary rounds that were available for as cheap as $35 per round (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1637562.0) (which also include the community donation).

More than 6 years since these coins were released and I'm still fascinated by and proud of this innovation in an organization's distributions.  Bitcoin's growth has certainly provided some unforeseen challenges, but it's great to see no compromises or disfunction in these coins to date.

I just looked at my 1 seat and 5 seat NastyFans coins again :) The balances weren't much, but the coins still look gorgeous!

Is the mining pool still going? Noticed its hash has dropped to 0 oO

Thank you.  If kept in their original plastic capsules they will maintain their beauty for many years to come.  The original coins released are holding $37.89 at the current rate.  I suspect in time they will surpass their sale price of ~$100, but more importantly it demonstrates an incredibly unique and innovative concept that continues to operate successfully today.

I know of a few things in the works for NastyPool, but I'm not sure I'm the person to comment on it as my only involvement was as a user.  NastyPool was also free to use, so it never had any effect on seats that I'm aware of (outside of p2pool's irregularity).  It was built to support decentralized mining, which turned out to be not so important to the mining community as time evolved.  We hoped to show that things could be built on top of p2pool, like NastyFans showed how things could be built on top of Bitcoin.  I would love to continue supporting p2pool and believe that decentralized mining should be important to everyone involved with Bitcoin, but I heard many complaints about the regularity of mining rewards that ultimately made me decide to mine at a centralized pool like everyone else.

User teeGUMES (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=307884) made a cool thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5290065.0) showing some coins and what they look like when peeled.  He featured the 1oz NastyFans round, so I thought this would be a worthwhile thing to add to this thread:

AVAILABLE for purchase NOW at:
NASTYFANS.ORG/MINT (https://nastyfans.org/mint)

https://talkimg.com/images/2024/01/11/sqVz2.gif (https://nastyfans.org/mint)

Bump for BTC at all time highs!

With the recent Bitcoin price run, the original minted seats purchased in this thread are now holding $114.09 in BTC with another $3.13 pending distribution.  This $117.22 in BTC marks these coins having a positive ROI in real dollar terms after only 7 years and is a great sign of things to come. 

newly bought seats start at zero - correct?

All minted seats are engraved after they are ordered, so you are correct to assume that any Minted Seat purchased from the shop for $95 will not contain $117.22 (more now) in BTC.  It is great that the original seats here were able to more than ROI in 7 years, but that return isn't promised going forward.  While this is an amazing proof of concept on an innovative idea, I don't believe people should be purchasing these purely with ROI in mind.  If that was the goal, purchasing online digital seats from nastyfans.org would get you a much faster ROI, as the cost of an online seat is currently around 20% the cost of a Minted Seat as a result of not needing 1oz of silver, a custom generated vanity address, assembly with a custom hologram, a donation to NastyFans, or precious metal engraving services. 

Due to an increase in the value of BTC held by NastyMining, seats attached to coins sold in the NastyShop will be rising in price in the near future causing a slight increase in the price of Minted Seats across the board.  A tip: You can get around any seat price increases in the shop by minting seats you've purchased on the online auction from other members.  

Originally purchased Minted Seats from this thread are now holding $190.24 in BTC and an additional $5.38 is pending distribution at the current exchange rate.

Purchase yours here: https://nastyfans.org/mint

I bought 2oz one 2nd-3rd hand. To get in the lottery do people have to do something or it follow the coin/address?

I’m not 100% sure what lottery you’re talking about, but nothing is ever required of Minted Seat owners other than not losing their coins.

They think it's a lottery because only some the coins actually get these "distributions."  One would wonder why all seats don't get paid out?  Many of us are interested in this answer... but I'm sure you'll delete this post so you don't have to explain the scam publicly.

All seats receive BTC weekly from NastyFans distributions. You can see the amount held for each minted seat here: https://nastyfans.org/mint.json

Once seats reach a certain threshold amount, BTC is distributed to the coin’s address with the weekly NastyFans distribution (closing in on 10 years of weekly distributions with over 700 BTC distributed. You can view the distribution history here: https://nastyfans.org/distribution.summary.csv). This is to avoid “dust” amounts building up on the coin that would get eaten with a large transaction fee when the BTC is moved. You can check amounts held on individual coins by using a block explorer and entering the address engraved on the coin.

There are 30,000 seats in total and distributions are supplied by mining rewards from my humble mining operation as well as donations from other members, so expectations should be appropriate. Those only concerned with BTC returns would obviously be better served purchasing online digital seats from https://nastyfans.org than a precious metal coin, but as far as an innovative physical Bitcoin wallet, I think Minted Seats take the cake.

Also, I believe the lotto he inquired about (my response still being valid) is my coming $10,000 coin giveaway mentioned here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=86854.msg56118909#msg56118909

So far the poll results for the giveaway are:
no: 1038 (6.4%)
yes: 2914 (17.9%)

Looking like a $10K, 100 Minted Seat coin giveaway is getting closer to reality!  All you need to enter for a chance to win a 1oz/2oz/5oz silver minted seat is to own an online NastyFans seat purchased from the auction at https://nastyfans.org and wait for the giveaway!

Also, as we go speeding towards new highs again I though I would give an update on the current value stored on these coins.  At the current rate, originally minted seats are now holding $241.85 worth of BTC with another $7.19 pending.  That total of $249.04 represents nearly a $150% gain from the ~$100 sales price (ballpark price effected by shipping and if you minted your own seat purchased from the auction or purchased a seat to mint).  Pretty amazing considering the costs built into coins for silver, engravings, supplies, etc.  It is still recommended for those chasing yield to purchase online seats, which sell for much cheaper and thus have a greater return than their physical counterparts due to not having the associated costs mentioned previously. 

If you haven't already, you can still purchase minted seats at https://nastyfans.org/mint

With the great 1,000 Gold Casascius coin making headlines this week on major news outlets (and here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364004.0) on the forum) I thought I'd take the opportunity to bump this topic and show that there are still OG physical bitcoin wallets available for purchase at reasonable prices to be found on the market.  If you're looking for a pre-2014 Bitcoin collectible at a steal of a price, these Minted Seats are tough to beat and can still be found at https://nastyfans.org/mint

Shipped out a few sets of coins today of weekend orders from the NastyShop.  Orders sure heat up whenever the Bitcoin price drops (human behavior is fascinating).  Hope to see some pics when they start arriving at their new homes.  If you were on the fence during the dip, these should look more attractive now.  :)  The supply on these 1oz rounds is finally beginning to dwindle as well.  There will come a point when they're sold out and I don't think you'll find that this product is easily duplicated due to the infrastructure and real life hashrate and services backing it, not to mention the innovations from 10 years ago are still ahead of the curve and the decade long distribution history cannot be replicated.  Enjoy!

Were you happy with this answer?  Everything is publicly documented on the blockchain so it is verifiable and all information is provided with regularly updating statistics you can view through .json and .csv files.  Seems like an apology would be in order for saying something that is blockchain verifiable as not being a scam and documented clearly so it is easily provable and understood by anyone who takes the time to look.  I'm a bit surprised that anyone would continue to take the stance that this project is a scam after more than a decade of regularly paying out distributions exactly as stated and providing such easy to access and well documented history.  In any event, I did appreciate the opportunity to once again prove the merit of this organization.  That's why we provide all this data, so that people don't have to blindly listen to those yelling fire in a crowded theater.  They can look for themselves.

There are now 413 1oz Silver NastyFans Minted Seats in circulation.  I am also holding back 2 of them to likely be destroyed that I made mistakes during the engraving process (not sure if I should try to salvage them or not).  That leaves 85 of them left available for purchase before they're gone forever...  Don't miss out.  I suspect once they sell out they will be hard to get your hands on.  

https://nastyfans.org/mint

As the Bitcoin price dips to new lows and there is a lot of uncertainty on the market, I feel like it might be nice to give people a place to spend their coins instead of worrying about exchanges and losing money holding.  So...  I'd like to extend the offer that anyone who orders a 1oz minted seat in the next 48 hours will receive a NastyFans T-shirt for free with their order (as supplies last).  Just include your preferred T-shirt size in with your address (I'll figure it out) and I'll do my best to get you the closest size available if yours is out of stock.  I currently have S,M,L,XXL available.  Enjoy!

TL;DR

Order a 1oz minted seat today from https://nastyfans.org/mint and get a free t-shirt!

I was recently informed that a couple of these minted seats have been listed at auction on Stacks Bowers website.  Very cool.  I'll post links below directly to the coin auctions.  I'm not sure exactly how their auctions work, but it sounds like these may be a couple of the first sales of NastyFans Minted Seats in USD.  I'm not aware of any eBay sales of these coins, but that doesn't mean they haven't happened.  If you're in the market for these coins and want to spend USD though, this is a great chance to do so.  The gilt version of this coin is also fairly rare, as it sold out over 10 years ago.  Pretty cool to see it offered at a major auction.

All silver:

Gold highlighted:

I've decided to start posting some of the personal message questions I receive asking questions to the threads so that others with the same questions can have them answered as well.  This one seemed like a good one as I'm not sure how often I've posted the amount of stock remaining.


There are currently 82 of the 1oz all silver coins left for sale in the NastyShop (2 have been labeled errors to be destroyed so the publicly available information shows 84 left).  This was out of a total of 450.  There were also 50 gold highlighted versions created, but they have all been sold.  This information is publicly available here: https://nastyfans.org/mint.json in case anyone wanted to be able to figure this information out on their own in the future.  As always, they can be purchased here: https://nastyfans.org/mint

Just an update on the auction. It appears the 1oz all silver Minted Seat sold for $360 while the gold highlighted version sold for $1,200. While the gold highlighted versions are sold out, you can still get the silver versions. In the listing that sold for $360, it says the coin held $40 of BTC. That means the real world auction market is placing a premium of about $200 on these coins compared to what you can buy them for brand new today… Be glad you know where to buy them… It appears many people would be buying if they knew where to get them so cheap.
https://NastyFans.org/mint - Grab yourself some before the secret gets out and the only way to get them is paying massive premiums.

recently bought a bunch of coins and they look great!! is the nastyfans.uberbills.com site still maintained? only ask because I didn't see my coins there

Thanks for the positive feedback on the coins.

The uberbills site is maintained by forum user naypalm. It has been some time since I’ve received responses to my messages from him, so I assume that he’s working on other things. The site was setup to be automated, so it seems like it’s still functional but who knows how often updates happen or if they do at all.

I can tell you that the information site uberbills uses to gather information is actively updated and located here: https://nastyfans.org/mint.json
