Announcing the Ravenbit (http://ravenbit.com) DIY Physical Bitcoin Kit

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https://i.imgur.com/hPpM3fnm.jpg

The Ravenbit physical bitcoin's composition is approximately 85% copper/15% zinc, commonly referred to as Goldine. It weighs in at 27 grams and has a diameter of 39mm. Each of the 1,000 coins, in this limited edition first batch, is individually numbered.

In addition to the physical coin, each kit includes:

    (1) Ravenbit Physical Bitcoin
    (4) Custom Tamper-Evident Security Holograms
    (1) 8.5 x 11 (US Letter) sheet of Gloss Clear Custom Public/Private Key labels (Inkjet)
    (1) 8.5 x 11 (US Letter) sheet of Crystal Clear Custom Public/Private Key labels (Laser)
    (1) 8.5 x 11 (US Letter) sheet of Premium White Uncoated Custom Public/Private Key labels (Inkjet or Laser)
    (1) Velvet coin pouch
    (1) Acrylic coin display stand
    (1) Air-tite direct fit capsule

More detailed specifications here (https://ravenbit.com/features/)

What makes Ravenbit's physical bitcoin different from most other offerings?

1) We don't generate, store or otherwise have access to your private key
We provide you with custom label sheets, a custom tamper evident hologram and a client-side javascript label template generator (https://ravenbit.com/labels.html). You generate your keys with your preferred bitcoin wallet generator (we like bitaddress.org), paste the keys into our template generator, and then print to the included label sheets. No longer do you have to place your trust in the issuer or the issuer's processes. (p.s. we encourage you to examine the label generator's code)

2) We don't denominate our coins
You get to decide how much, or how little BTC you want to load onto your coin.

3) We don't load bitcoin onto our coins
Sending the denominated value to the issuer, so the issuer can load the bitcoin after the coin is delivered puts the issuer at risk of regulatory action and again, requires the buyer to place his or her trust in the issuer. It also adds a significant up front cost for the buyer.

What does the coin cost?

Now accepting most major credit cards.

Price updated to $29 + shipping for the coin kit OR $19 + shipping for the coin, 2 holograms and an air-tite case.

All these physical bitcoins look really good  ;D btw, do you have intl shipping available?

The binary reads "Satoshi Nakamoko" !  ;D

Thanks, miffman.

Yes, we currently offer shipping worldwide via Fedex. Check out ravenbit.com for more info.

 ;)

*Satoshi Nakamoto

Had to recheck that binary to make sure we didnt spell his/her/their name wrong.

I would buy one but their to expensive if they were $40 i would get them

110$ Int.l shipping is just too expensive.
I would love to buy one of these, but damn!

Are there no other shipping alternatives (to Norway)?

I agree, it's just that the cheaper USPS alternatives are slow. If that is alright with you, it looks like shipping for 1 or 2 coins to Oslo (not sure where you are) is about $15 for USPS First class international, $40 for USPS Priority mail and $50 for USPS Priority mail express. I'm working on getting these prices built into the site, but in the meantime PM me and we can work out one of these options for the time being.

Nice design/ambition. I can't justify paying $60+ for a coin thats not made of any precious metal. Good luck though!

Very cool but again too much money for a copper coin :( silver plated I could justify $75, but that's essentially a large penny.

Good luck, I'll watch incase you decide to drop prices. But can mind my own coins for a lot less lol.

Price drop:

$29 for the kit

or

$19 for coin, 2 holograms and air-tite capsule

Hey I will buy a kit with just regular USPS ground shipping. Is there a payment @ - I didn't see it.

Thx and good work, I would have loved a silver proof of this!

Short run of a silver proof is coming - sign up for the newsletter at ravenbit.com for updates.

If you are ordering just 1 kit USPS first class shipping should be available for $4 (if you are in the U.S.). International will be roughly ~$10 more. PM me if you have any issues.

Satoshi's identity has yet to be revealed let alone his gender. Why then is the silhouette on the coin of a man? Hmmm.
That's why I won't purchase it.

Is it possible to see the public key through the hologram or somewhere else on the coin?

1) Nowhere have I indicated that the profile on my coin is a man's profile.
2) It is common knowledge that Satoshi's P2P Foundation account details list him as a 37 year old male living in Japan (see Vice article here (http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto-the-creator-of-bitcoin))

Yes, I'm working on getting detailed pics of this on the website, so that the process is more clear. The outer 5mm of the hologram is partially transparent. The public key label will line up with the partially transparent portion of the hologram so that the public key is viewable. The public key labels are also transparent, so you have the option of placing the public key label on top of the hologram. See ravenbit.com/features (http://ravenbit.com/features) and ravenbit.com/instructions (http://ravenbit.com/instructions) for more details and I will update this post when I post additional pics.

His identity isn't revealed so I'll take anything I read with a grain of salt. You didn't claim him to be a man but the silhouette on the coins design is clearly shaped like the head of a male. It's not ambiguous at all.  ::)

I'd love to order custom sticker's, can this be done? can they be numbered? if yes than I would buy a bunch of the coins. Please let me know or pm me :)

Even though there are many brilliant women in IT the chances Satoshi being a man or that the group had more male then female members are rather good.

I wasn't playing the odds; I based my decision on the fact that Satoshi's online profile listed his gender as male.

Good point.
So either he is male or want's to be seen as male.

Yeah - he/she/they portrayed himself/herself/themselves as a male.

Finally returned from vacation and unwrapped my coins :)

https://i.imgur.com/3z682MV.jpg

The boxes are very nice and would be a great gift just as they were delivered.

All in all super happy with the purchase! :)

Will post images of the actual coins/pouches/... (if I don't forget).

Trust++

Thanks, glad you like them nicolas.

Also, wanted to let everyone know that we are now accepting most major credit cards.

I got mine today! I love them.
Thank you for a great service and products!

Did not know that. Thanks for that clarification.

They look good, but 43 dollars? Meh, dunno yet. Might get one of those, because why the hell not?

Soon casascius will be offering similar.
I don't care for the copper, also the design I dislike.

In future production you may want to consider a more agreeable design and gold plating.

Or you could make custom kits for the $6-$10 gold plated unloaded casascius lookalikes that are being mass produced and sold on ebay.

I got coins 15 and 16. They are pretty cool, I'll hold them as early collectibles. Only $20 per without the fancy box and stand...

Price is $19 for coin, hologram and air-tite case or $29 for the entire kit, including coin pouch, coin stand, labels, hologram, gift box. I'm not sure where you got $43 from.


Edit: Ahh, maybe you are including shipping since it looks like you are located in The Netherlands. PM me with your location and I'll see if I can find a way to get the shipping cost down.

Yeah, it's the shipment that is biting my ass. It's almost as much as the coin itself. I will send you a PM later today and if I don't please send me one, post here or slap me in the face, haha.

Well, I just bought one. Thanks again mrbrt ;) Can't wait to receive it!

No problem - shipped it out today.

I saw, thanks dude. Can't wait!

I received my coin and damn, it's beautiful and it has a great weight. Currently trying to get that darn casing open.

EDIT: Well, I got it open. You send so many amazing stuff. Like the paper printing sheets. You send 3 different ones. I am so happy.
I will post some pictures on here in a sec.

EDIT2: The pictures (http://imgur.com/a/rWTuK#0)
Now I just need to figure out how to print correctly on those sheets of paper. mrbrt, do you have some sort of special software for that?

I don't want to complain or anything, but the backside of my coin looks quite scratched... It also has number 0037, but my order number is 450. Did I get a returned bullion or is it just me acting crazy?

1) The Air-tite case (these are brand name, and not a cheap knock-off) is a bit of a pain, which is why I don't ship the coin in it (since you would need to take the coin out to apply the hologram). Running a sharp edge along the seam usually works in helping pry the case open.

2) Yes, you can use the label generator located HERE (http://ravenbit.com/labels.html). The label generator is client-side and does not generate bitcoin wallet addresses. You need to use a wallet address generator such as bitaddress.org for that. The full instructions on generating, printing, and applying labels/hologram are located HERE (http://ravenbit.com/instructions). Up until a few days ago, I was not including a paper printout of the instructions, but just directing customers to the instructions page on ravenbit.com. However, shipments going forward will all include a paper printout of the instructions. The instructions look a bit daunting, but everything is really very simple -- I'm going to post a video of the process soon, so that that is more evident.

1) I got them open after a very long time of screaming in anger and a lot of prying.
2) I see, thank you ;)

EDIT: The link which you provided for the instructions (https://ravenbit.com/instructions.html) doesn't work.

That is a valid concern. The order number is generated by Woocommerce, and did not start at Order #1. Order numbers are actually skipped over automatically - I haven't looked into why Woocommerce does this. Anyway, no you are not my 450th order (I wish  ;))

As far as the coin number is concerned: No, it is not a returned coin (I have not had a coin returned yet). The reason why it is lower than  you probably expected, is because I had it packed and ready to be shipped to a customer. However, the customer wound up never paying through Coinbase and decided that he no longer wanted to go through with the order. So, the coin was packed away for more than a week, while other, higher number coins, were being shipped. You happened to be the next shipment when I found out the customer was no longer interested.

And as for the scratches on the back of the coin: I'm assuming the scratches are on the inset portion of the back that will be covered by the hologram. Unfortunately, the majority of the coins have some flaws on this portion of the coin, and I am attributing it to the fact that it is a very deep inset. I deemed that to be acceptable, since the intention is to have that portion of the coin covered with the labels/hologram. Also, these are not proof or proof-like coins, and I am told that a proof-like quality brass alloy is not really option for any mint, despite what they may say in their sales brochure.  In the future, I hope to rectify this by using silver or gold plating on any brass alloy coins.

If you want, I will gladly refund you the cost of the kit, and you can keep the coin. Or, I can send another coin out, at no cost to you (keeping in mind that there are flaws on the inset portion of most of the coins). Just let me know and thanks for the feedback.  :)

Oops the correct link is:  http://ravenbit.com/instructions

Ah, I see. Well that explains the order number story. I don't mind having a lower coin number, because they are usually worth more in perspective to the higher number coins.

About the scratches, yes they are on the back of the coin, right where you said that they most likely will be. You are now forcing me to make a though decision. I mean, you already gave me a discount (which I still appreciate) and I don't want to rip you off. But having a scratched coin is something I dislike. Decisions, decisions.

Ah, thanks!

I want my customers to be satisfied with their purchase. Can you post a pic of the scratch -- just curious now

You sound like a great guy. I will try to get a picture of the scratch. Well it's not a real scratch, the whole surface seems to be scratched in the middle.

Edit: I gave you a +rep, because our transaction went without a problem ^^

---

I cleaned the coin with a special cloth before I took the pictures so the back is as clean as possible.
Click here for the back side of my coin (http://imgur.com/a/xrkuJ#0)

If you compare these two pictures you can see that the scratches were already on the coin. Just wanted to state that, because it's not my intention to rip you off. Picture 1. (https://i.imgur.com/uasObem.jpg) Picture 2. (https://i.imgur.com/k5P7LqG.jpg)

Also, I still haven't decided what I'm going to do. I suck in making decisions.

I believe you and I don't think you're trying to rip me off. I'll just send you another coin.

Alright, sure. Sorry for the troubles. You are a great guy and I am glad that I bought something from you. Not many people would feel obliged to replace the coin. ;)

The merchant stated that the scratch situation will exist on all coins.
Don't expect the new coin to be perfect.

I would like to see some of my suggestions from page 2 be considered.
Especially the stickers for generic ebay casacius lookalikes(they look really nice and are only $7-$10)

I have received my package, so first of all thank you for that. After opening I noticed that there was a new piece of paper, so I took it out of the envelope and guess what, instructions! They are perfectly clear and very well written (I did laugh when I read burger stack). The coin itself seems to be less scratched on the back and I am very pleased with that. I was pleasantly surprised that you send the whole kit again, instead of just the coin.

Oh, just a quick side note. It might be smart to tape shut the open sides of the bubble wrap. The coin, the plastic casing and the stand slipped out of them and where just laying around in the envelope.

All in all, I am very happy and positive about my experience with you and the coin that I have received.

EDIT: Just found the Packing Slip with your friendly note on it. The coin is in better shape and I hope that this feedback post is appreciated as well. I have been talking (thus promoting) about your product to some people and I hope that your sales have increased because of that.

Sorry, I don't have any plans to make stickers for coins other than my own. Thanks for the suggestions.

Glad you liked the instructions. I don't normally package everything flat like I did for your shipment (to save on international shipping), but I'll definitely keep that in mind for future shipments.

Thanks for spreading the word, I really appreciate it!

Then at least make your coins look better.(My other suggestion on page 2)
As far as I'm concerned your coins are very lackluster.

That is an invalid suggestion based upon your view of beauty. He doesn't have to improve his coins if he likes them.
Anyway, I disagree with you. Simply because I have two and they both look amazing and are quite shiny.

If you don't like em, don't buy em. It's easy ;)

I won't and I'm not alone.
They have a awful design and are 10 cents worth of copper.
I would rather get a penny blank and DIY without a design.

They might not be the prettiest in your eyes, but what you get is far more than a piece of metal inside of bubble wrap. They make an excellent gift! Would buy again for just that reason.

I'm auctioning off coin #0010 over in this auction thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475102.msg5238676#msg5238676)

50% of the total sale will be donated to Liberty Humane Society animal shelter (http://www.libertyhumane.org/).

This is the first of 10 coins I will be auctioning off. Coin #1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 69 will also be up for auction in the near future. I will announce each auction post in this thread.

So I finally came around to assemble my coins... I had not seen a picture of an assembled coin yet, so I'll just let the pictures speak for themselves... :)

Great pictures! Thanks for posting.

I particularly like the formal white handling glove   :D

I should get me a pair of those gloves. Where did you buy them?

Quick update on International Shipping (outside of the U.S.): International shipping is now a flat rate of $9 USD (currently no quantity limit) for USPS First Class Mail International. I hope this makes it more affordable for buyers outside of the U.S.

Not sure where nicholas got his, but you can find them on Amazon for like $1 a pair. http://amzn.to/1jSYueU

Not sure if this works for you in The Netherlands, but if you look around you can most certainly find them for cheaper. Just search for White Cotton Gloves or White Handling Gloves.

Amazon: Lightweight Cotton Gloves.

Thank you guys ;) I know that touching the coins with my bare hands is bad and a no-go, but well I didn't have gloves. Will buy a pair right now.

Well during the assembly process it's basically inevitable. But make sure to wash your hands before and wipe them after assembly, before putting them into the airtights.

Thanks, will do that ;)

I just saw your rating on my trust page, thanks man. Appreciated ;)

Auction for Coin #2 has begun (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=493515.0)

Coin #1 has been turned into a "charity" coin, with over $250 raised for animal humane associations so far. It will go back up for another animal charity auction in 6-12 months. Cheers, all~

Auction for Coin #4 and/or #5 has begun: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=504109.0

Ends on Sunday March 9 at 10pm EST (March 10 at 3am GMT)

I can't believe some idiot wasted BTC0.11 on #2, He used BTC(something with value) to buy copper(something with very little value).

Now some idiot bid 0.08 on 4 and 5, again for copper...
What a waste!
I checked, Copper is worth $3.20 USD a pound(I doubt these weigh a pound).
BTC0.11 on the other hand is valued at ~$66 USD, Fools and their money are soon parted.

Offense taken. Please stop bothering and have a nice life.

Are you a special kind of stupid?

Just check out his other posts....... he had enough attention already. End Of Story!

Back to topic about pretty physical Bitcoins! :)

If your definition of intelligent is buying useless copper coins with no value whatsoever,
I would prefer to meet your definition of stupid.

This is sorta like buying a power rangers lunchbox, or a barney and friends backpack.
It may be cool to you now, it will not last.
The copper coins serve no real function, in fact all physical bitcoins serve no real function.
At least the lunchbox/backpack can be used to carry stuff.

You are now ignored, enjoy your copper round.

You sir should see a therapist.


Well... yeah what did I expect... aftet all it is the internet... hate it or love it.

Do you have any idea how manufacturing works?

Hmmm, should i buy some ravenbit or silver dogecoins :S

I would go for Ravenbit.

1) The auction for coin #6 has begun and will end on April 3 at 11pm EST (3am GMT on April 4)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=552606

2) Extra holograms are now for sale in sheets of 25 at ravenbit.com. If there is a need for extra label sheets I can also put those up for sale. Please pm me or post here.

3) Due to an increasing number of errors in the last 750 or so of the 1,000 coin batch, many of the first batch of coins will be going back to the mint to be destroyed. I do not have a final count as to how many coins are left, but in total there will likely be less than 200 made, not 1,000. I'm finishing up an all new, very different design for both the coin and the hologram that should be ready for sale in 1-2 months. The label process will be simplified (hint: you won't need to buy labels from me), and I'm hoping my revamped label generator will be useful to more than just my customers. I'm also hoping to lower my price for international shipping due to streamlined packaging. Additional products will also be launched with the newest coin.

Lastly, I want to thank everyone (including the trolls) for your constructive feedback, as it has made all the difference in motivating me to continue to improve, both inside and outside the BTC community.  :)

Wohoo. Cannot wait for the new ones!

Same here. I will buy one as soon as it's out :)

Just sad to hear that there a number of errors in the last few coins.

Oh god, hahaha. I just noticed that I have coin 37 and 437! What a nice coincidence. ;D

I proudly present the (most likely) first ever ANACS graded Ravenbit coin! Also , it's a MS67!

https://i.imgur.com/5mukC03.jpg

How much was it to get it graded?

Including shipping and everything about $20. It took almost 6 weeks though.

Hmm, I see. Alright thanks ;)

Very cool nicolas. I'm going to send one in to ANACS to get graded, as well.

Nice design

Auction for coin #8 has begun (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588092.0) (ends Thursday May 1 @ 11pm EDT)

The auction for coin #9 and #69 has also begun (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=588389.0) (ends Sunday May 4 @ 11pm EDT)


These are the last two auctions and there are a very limited supply of coins left. I will reply to this post when I have a final count of coins remaining. Thank you to everyone for your continued support  :)

For those of you still following this topic:

1) I have overhauled ravenbit.com (https://www.ravenbit.com) and created a SATOSHI coin Mintage page (https://ravenbit.com/satoshi/mintage/) detailing the number of coins remaining (57 out of 204). 800 out of the original 1,004 coins minted were sent back to the mint and destroyed (https://ravenbit.com/2014/08/31/satoshi-mintage/) due to defects found in the brass blanks.

2) I have minted a new design (https://ravenbit.com/2014/09/14/introducing-ravenbit-node/) that is set to be released in a few days.

3) There is currently an auction running (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=791861.msg8921346#msg8921346) for 5 SATOSHI coins and 1 unreleased NODE coin (the new design). I plan on running at least 2 additional auctions for various SATOSHI coins - some of the coins used in the initial testing will be auctioned off at a significant discount.

I will update this topic until I create a new topic for the NODE coin. Until then check ravenbit.com and my twitter account @ravenbit (http://www.twitter.com/ravenbit) for the latest updates regarding release.

Kudos on the new (website and coin) designs!

Also cool to have that mintage page!!

Ravenbit's new coin, NODE, is now for sale at ravenbit.com

Reply in the new post with any questions or comments:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=820645.0

Up for auction are 10 SATOSHI coins from Ravenbit's first series that I've entitled the "Zero Set":  #0100, #0200, #0300, #0400, #0500, #0600, #0700, #0800, #0900, #1000

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=857116.0

Including these 10 coins there are only about 50 SATOSHI coins remaining out of a mintage of 204 (http://www.ravenbit.com/satoshi/mintage).

There will be a few more auctions for some of the remaining SATOSHI "test" coins, which will bear the a "T" mintage symbol. More details to follow.

The SATOSHI test coins are now for sale. Contrary to what I've written above, the 8 test coins will not bear a "T" mintage symbol. The coins themselves show some wear, and I have left parts of the used holograms on the coins. I know this may be desirable for some, so I'll leave them as-is and let you decide what you want to do with them. I'm asking $9 (0.023BTC)for each. and that price will include everything you would normally receive with a coin kit: 2 holograms, display stand, air-tite coin holder, felt pouch, labels and gift box.

Shipping will be 0.01BTC to the U.S. and 0.015BTC anywhere else for up to 4 test coins. Slightly more if ordering more than 4 coins.

Please see image links below:

I'm going to make these test coins an even 0.02BTC ($7.60 at current price). There are only 8 test coins and they are listed as such on the official SATOSHI mintage page (http://www.ravenbit.com/satoshi/mintage).

Only 18 of Ravenbit's Satoshi coins remaining (https://ravenbit.com/product/satoshi/). (total coins minted: 204)

This was my first release back in December 2013 and can be purchased directly from ravenbit.com or by pm'ing me. The binary inside of the profile converts to Satoshi Nakamoto  ;)

After receiving my grey nodes today and being very impressed with them I'm very tempted to go for one of your 3 coin sets: https://ravenbit.com/product/satoshinode-three-coin-set/

For $49 + shipping it seems a very good deal :).

Would that just then leave the silver to complete a full set of your coins (apart from the other color nodes)?

Yes, that would leave the Node Silver and the Node Brass limited edition (sold out numbered 1-50, but this guy is selling some (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1112934.0)). The 3 coin set includes the Node Brass standard (not numbered), Node Copper and Satoshi. They each come with pouches, display stands, and 2 holograms each.

Ok great thank you I'll have a little think about it :).

I've ordered a set, now just need to find a silver and brass limited edition ;D.

How does the brass limited edition look again? I'm not sure if I have it or not.

https://ravenbit.com/coins/nodebrle/

It should have a number between 01 and 50 on the reverse.

You beat me to it ;D.

Ah yeah, I've got number 11 of that serie. So, all I need is the silver one. :D

Nice one :), I bet finding 1 let alone 2 silvers is gonna be near on impossible.

Ask and you shall receive: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1122413.0

Oh shit. 0.25BTC starting bid? That is quite pricey. I could get a Sol Noctis for that. Decisions, decisions.

They were $80 when sold.

EDIT: Whats a Sol Noctis by the way?

I see. So the same as a Sol Noctis. Guess I'll have a go at it.

Thank you :).

I also had 9 SATOSHI for sale at a discounted price, but they are now sold out. (These coins were used in testing - see below for description)

The discounted SATOSHI were used in testing and have scratching on the obverse/reverse and/or ghosting from applied holograms on the reverse. There are no remnants of the hologram aside from the ghosting. A purchase of either the full priced or discounted coins comes with all of the accessories (holograms, stand, air-tite, pouch, labels).

BOTH the full price and discounted SATOSHIs can be purchased by PM'ing me or on ravenbit.com (http://ravenbit.com/satoshi).

Just bought 2 of the "Test" Satoshi coins, I'm sure it will be a great value for the price. The RavenBit Satoshi coin was an early favorite in my collection, happy to finally snatch up more. I put a note with my order for the nicest coins/earliest serial numbers, but #0666 is pretty tempting.


EDIT: I will add that I was pleasantly surprised to get an email with tracking # stating my order had shipped, basically within 2 hours from paying. Also got a message from mrbrt responding to the note with my order. Truly great service and a pleasure as always, thanks mrbrt/Tom.

I'll echo this... Tom has exceptional customer service, and is always very responsive.  I ordered my 3-coin set, and within a couple hours I also got the e-mails.  He shipped on Saturday and it was waiting for me here this morning... awesome.

Thanks guys - I strive for as close to instant gratification as possible.  :D

Only 4 SATOSHI remaining (2 mint and 2 test) !

the price is for 2 coins or each?

The listed price is per coin. The two remaining test coins were just sold, so there are only 2 *mint* coins left.
