Title: ColdKey website is down. What's up with this project?
Post by: TheBeardedBaby on September 08, 2021, 11:30:06 AM
Hey guys :)

I just noticed now that the https://www.coldkey.eu/ is "paused" and yogg  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=140827) was last active in the middle of July. I've sent him a few PM but never got a reply. Do you guys know what is going on ?




Since we got an answer from yogg, I'll quote the post here so it's easy for everyone to read it.
Hello everyone. I hope you're all doing well.

I want to apologize to you all for how poorly things were handled by me.
Many things broke on my end. I couldn't keep up in those conditions.
Tried to fix things on the go, but that didn't work.

I've worked hard for a long uninterrupted time and at some point I just couldn't keep up.
Unfortunately I brought myself to be burnt out.
I've been very depressed in the aftermath, amid some other personal events that happened to me.

I'm slowly recovering. I learned a hard lesson here.
I appreciate your patience and comprehension very much.

Please don't reach out to me regarding Coldkey for now, as I resolve everything.
I will get back to everybody, each in turn. I know what's outstanding, so please expect a PM from me.



About Coldkey in general, yes the website is down.
A different website will be put up.
I'm still unsure how to continue but it will definitely be very different from what happened so far.
For now, I am not yet physically able to resume production but looking for ways to resume it smoothly.



My deepest apologies for what happened.
Thank you for being a hell of a community, for your trust and for allowing me to fix the situation.
I won't let you down. You rock.

Not sure - I know yogg was having some issues and I really hope he overcomes the challenges he was facing.

I am still trying to reach him concerning funding for cards purchased that were to be funded but have yet to receive their funding that I paid.

Thanks I'm in almost the same situation. Let me know if you manage to contact him.

Seems like there was the same issue with the website sometime ago.

did covid also infect the website ?  ???

Quote from: coldkey.eu
Error 503 Unavailable, the server is paused.
Varnish cache server.

hope everything is well in good old France  :-\


Apparently someone did cough on our hosting company auto-renewal module. ;D
Thanks for the notice ! I was able to renew our website manually.

Yes, everything is well, thank you. I hope everything is alright too for you all !

I am very busy with Coldkey these last few days.
I should be operational back in full this month and better than ever.  8)

Hope it's just temporary.

Yeah, me too. Funding and 2 cards are M.I.A

Hope everything works out, I really enjoyed the project.

The last contact I had with him was back in May and I think he was just fed up of covid, crypto and  working his ass off . I’m sure he’ll be back at some stage - I think he just needed a break. He’s been in crypto for a far old while and I’m sure he wouldn’t leave people out of pocket.

that is totally understandable to take a break but it is not fair for those that have paid for something to not have received what they paid for whether it is the physical item or funding or both. Especially with no contact or personal explanation.

I don't think for a second that Yogg is scamming or trying to run away with anyone's funds but until people are made whole it still looks bad.

Yogg really gave all his energy into this project. I saw him this summer and he wanted to step back to recharge his batteries, he is exhausted  :(
I understand his attitude is not very professional and I'm sure he is sorry for that.
I know him for many years now, he won't scam anyone. He just need a break and will surely come back soon to clarify the situation on Coldkey and remaining orders/funding

I have had no response once I realized that my cards were not funded. Yes he offered me a refund in Feb but I received 5 cards in May - I received an email that my card WAS funded yet the address it states in the email that was funded IS not the address on my card.

multiple emails, pm's, website tickets etc have all been unanswered

I told him in the PMs, and I say it now, I'm not in hurry so I don't want to press him for anything, just wanted to know what is the situation, that's all. I was also away for my personal problems for almost a year now so I totally get it. There are other things to be done with higher priority.
Sending positive vibes to him and to everyone and wish you all to stay healthy. That's the most important.

I waited a long time for my cards as well. over 8 months. and I was an artist on the Q3 history series. I wouldnt take it personal and I have faith he will come through for all of you in the end.

This thread reminds me I still have not kept up my end of the bargain and still have to ship him a painting that I have owed him for some time as well. So thank you.

not sure how I missed those - they look great. In reading that thread:



Unfortunately I ran into issues shortly after this auction.
I was still not able to produce these and fulfil the winners lots.
Refunds are available at request.

I am still sorting out a couple problems, hopefully everything will be back on it's feet quite soon. :)

I don't see where he ever updated the thread with them being produced. Guess the early cryptobonds are the only ones that he produced then?

To those with outstanding orders and other stuff, I just checked and it appears that @yogg came back on the 11th!
- Did he/she responded to any of your concerns privately?

I was a bit surprised to read the comments about delayed or unfunded items since I received the item that I won in one of his/her free raffles, quite fast.
- I'm not trying to defend @yogg [just stating the facts] and hopefully, everything gets sorted out soon.

I have heard no response. but having sent multiple pm/dm/emails - I see no need to keep sending additional ones until he comes back publicly. I am sure once he does he will fund my cards

Post by: TheBeardedBaby on September 29, 2021, 01:59:33 PM
Still quiet on my side too. I noticed that he was online but it was for a very short time so I didn't bother to send him more PMs.
We wait.

if it was nearly anyone else, there would be pitchforks and the fires would be lit. I think this gives credence to Yogg's trustworthiness. I just hope it continues to hold up and he clears all these outstanding issues.

Still waiting for undelivered items & funding as well. There seem to be quite some people in the same boat. Hopefully this can get resolved asap.

That's why reputation is so important and that's why I love the forum and the way you building it up, I never seen such a unique feature elsewhere to build credibility and trust in anonymous people you never gonna meet at all.

i have always believed in you and Coldkey and will continue to do so in the future.
the most important thing is first that you get healthy and come to good old strength and only then you can update us about your project. :) :) :)

Genuinely glad to hear that you are safe and well. Take your time to ensure you get back to your old self - there’s no point rushing. This community is like Bitcoin - we’ll be around for a long time and are used to being patient  :) Stay safe

Hello everyone.
~

I'm glad you are OK. Take your time, life is full of shitty surprises and no one is immune to it. I've been trough rough times myself the last year or so and not being active here as I used to be before so I partly know what you mean.
Anyway. Never give up no matter what happens, keep the spirit high.
As I said in my PMs I'm not in hurry so deal with those who are in hurry first. I trust you even tho we never met.
Sending positive vibes ;)

Hello everybody,

Thank you very much for all your good wishes and for caring about Coldkey. :)
I'm not happy with how things went, and I really appreciate your patience with me here.

Anyway, I'm very excited to be back here among you. :)

About the website, a new one will be put up quite soon.
It will allow everyone to verify their Coldkey with the Serial and the Authkey.



I have reached out to many people expecting items from me.
Things will be resolved shortly. If I haven't reached out to you as of now, please feel free to PM me anytime.

Shipments will resume this upcoming week.

Coldkey will resume once everything has been rectified.
A new release is ready to be announced.
Also ... the History Coldkey serie will continue. :)
More info about this specific point later in December.

Thanks a lot everyone for your continuous support and trust.
I'm happy as I can finally focus on doing what I love to do.
It wouldn't be possible without you. :)

Hello yogg,

Wanted to give my best and warmest wishes to you. I hope you will be able to recover fully.
Just take your time. Tiny steps will lead you to where you want to be, I am sure you can do it.
Really appreciated working with you back in late 2019.

Also thank you for sharing your story. When I read the intro of this thread I was 100% certain you would not just have bailed on "us" for good.
Peace
