With twenty-seven of the original thirty Messengers sold, just three more are remaining including this Dimepiece.  

A recent review mentioning Messengers on DailyCoin.com: Kialara: Bitcoin’s Place in the World of Art  (https://dailycoin.com/kialara-bitcoin-art-world/)

“That is the Kialara's paradox— and its genius. The Kialara provides not only an unprecedented level of physical protection, but also powerful aesthetic and psychological motivation to hold onto one's crypto fortune.” (https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/the-art-of-storing-bitcoin-1030174924)

The private key (in both printed and hand-penciled form – to last generations) are housed in an aluminum centerpiece and sealed between dual Tungsten barriers cut on this industrial water jet (https://i.imgur.com/OsDwogN.jpg). A small disc of mineral glass sits between tungsten barriers (https://i.imgur.com/YmDsupV.jpg), designed to shatter upon manipulation. High resolution photos and video have been recorded for future authentication (https://archive.org/details/Kialara-Messengers/). (Thank you, Hox)  

This is the second and likely the last time I’m asking for creations of mine to be funded - the first being with the Thug Life bills. The funding of this series is essential to a story that concludes in the year 2030, when 1.5625 btc equals one bitcoin block. Each Messenger sold to date has been funded, and I’m seeking bidders who are wanting to adhere to this precedent. A portion of funds collected are being set aside for future creative marketing endeavors and press opportunities for Messengers, which is positioned to become a talking point as the years progress - especially around future halving events and on the maturity date of each messenger group.

The amount of 1.5625 btc will be collected (on top of the winning bid) and will sit in escrow until your Messenger arrives to you, at which point funds will be released to the bar.

Thanks for kicking things off, joe. Can I ask you to please edit your bid to 0.01 or multiple thereof. Also, as a newbie, please PM me so I may qualify you for bidding. Thanks again! Max-

Done and done!

I'm a bit confused, isn't this a 2030 piece?

Thank you everyone for the bids. @Rangercov175, hello - been a while. Had to search your username in my inbox to recall who it was and was happy to see it was you. Surprised you're still a newb  ;D but of course I approve you for bidding. I'll reach out after regardless.

End time as of now: 04:28:06 AM forum time.

I hope that all the newbies popping up near the end didn’t spook anyone away… wasn’t sure exactly how to handle this in the final minutes without turning the thread into a clusterF. I looked through each bidders comment history and didn’t see anything that might be perceived as suspicious so just let it run it’s course. And the winning bidder I actually know quite well - they are a customer from a few years back who hand-made me a really cool gift which I’ll share here with their permission.

Thanks to everyone who participated. @Rangercov175 congrats you got what I believe to be a great deal on this one.

Permission granted.

This set of knives was hand-forged and gifted to me by Rangercov175 in 2018... I shared here once before if they look familiar. Thanks again, RC.

Didn't spook me, I was just limiting myself to 0.1BTC, hoping to get myself an outrageous bargain  ;D ;) Just over dammit! Congrats Ranger, 0.11 is still a massive steal, and I'm sure I'll be kicking myself for missing out in years to come!
