Title: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Humble Bitcoiners on January 03, 2023, 08:24:06 PM ITOKAWA TIMEBANK Finally after nearly 1,5 years i`m happy to release it here on the Forum. First of all...i`m just a little slave to Bitcoin, serving and dedicating all my work and passion to this creation that came amongst us 14 years ago. I tried to find a way to express the most important things for me in Bitcoin. The halvings and the lightning network as layer 2 solution. That`s why i chose to pour 4 half fine silver balls symbolizing the coming halving and the lightning symbol. The silver balls are made out of Kangaroo fine silver 1 oz coins. After rolling, cutting them into pieces and pouring them into graphite, i glowed and hardended them 2 times and brought them into form before i was able to grind and polish them. The silver and the Resin lightning are poured in 3 layers of Resin. The Priv key is generated offline with a brandnew Raspi 4 through BitcoinCore and got offline lasered on stainless steel which is covered by the security hologram. Additionally i poured the holo and the fine silver number plate on the back with Resin and grinded/polished it. That means you have to destroy the wallet to get access to the priv key. The total amount of fine silver is a little over 3.125 ozt ;), the coming block award and the load value will be 0.003125 BTC The orange Box is made out of local beech wood and is coloured in Hex #F2A900/Pantone 144. It keeps closed perfectly with fitting magnets on the inner side of the box Every wallet takes around 50 hours to be finished. The Resin lightning bolt and every silver ball alone take 3 hours to produce. I finished 6 until now. There are 2 transparent wallets and 6 different colour variations. 21 wallets numbered from #01 to #21 and 5 Ap`s. All the people who reserved in front through Bitcointalk, Twitter and Instagram will be contacted the coming days to check if they are interested. No worries. I have you on my list ;). Please get in touch and let me know your favourite # or colour and i`ll try to get it reserved for you. Price is 0.0375 Btc plus load value... Edited on 11th of January when 1st reserved wallets got sent out. 4 will be auctioned here. I think somewhere around February or March #01 Luminous green - reserved #02 Deep black - reserved #03 Leaf green - will be auctioned in mid February #04 Sky blue - reserved #05 Transparent - reserved #06 Claret violet - reserved #07 Titanium white - reserved #08 Deep black - reserved #09 Luminous green - reserved #10 Deep black - reserved #11 Titanium white - reserved #12 Sky blue - reserved #13 Titanium white - reserved #14 Sky blue - reserved #15 Titanium white - reserved #16 Claret violet - will be auctioned in mid February #17 Titanium white + 14k gold number plate on the back - will be auctioned in mid February #18 Sky blue - reserved #19 Luminous green - reserved #20 Transparent - reserved #21 Luminous green - reserved I add a few pics here, but Resin is really hard to photograph https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdQmj.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdQmj) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdGVG.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdGVG) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdMpD.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdMpD) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/Hd6Zf.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/Hd6Zf) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdPkZ.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdPkZ) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdRB8.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdRB8) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdzFw.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdzFw) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/Hdtd3.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/Hdtd3) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdFh9.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdFh9) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdNlN.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdNlN) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdI6a.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdI6a) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdsVo.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdsVo) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/Hd3DT.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/Hd3DT) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdYk1.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdYk1) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/Hdfgm.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/Hdfgm) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdJdW.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdJdW) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdVFJ.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdVFJ) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdcjH.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdcjH) https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/06/16/HdL6v.md.jpeg (https://www.talkimg.com/image/HdL6v) May Satoshi be with us.

Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: PreciousMetapsICT on January 04, 2023, 03:08:13 AM Really thought I liked the blue one best… then red.. but then the black looks amazing.. as well as the white and clear…

Nice work! Favorite might be the green actually the green looks great - I admit but makes me think of bcash Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Otillio1330 on January 04, 2023, 04:20:57 AM Wow! These are insane. Job well done!
I like the clear one the best! Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: owlcatz on January 04, 2023, 04:31:55 AM Well goddamnit, well done mate! Stunning artistry to say the least and the time put in, love it! :o
personally I adore the blue one, but cannot order one atm, sorry! :P Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: LitLitBit on January 04, 2023, 04:38:26 AM Amazing art Humble! Love the silver balls and all the colors. Will send you a pm once I decide on a color. Keep up the great work!
Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Humble Bitcoiners on January 04, 2023, 12:03:24 PM Thanks to all of you for your response. Will sort things out the next days with reservations.
Please name 2 or 3 numbers if possible for the case the wished one isn't available anymore. There's only 21 and colours are very limited to numbers. Please check @ItokawaTimebank on Twitter for pics and Videos. Colours are different in real. The Claret violet for example looks just crazy in hand but is hard to photograph. Back to the Satoshi workshop... See you😌 Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Fornalutx on January 04, 2023, 05:07:44 PM Looking forward to get one. Hard to choose the color. White, Sky blue, Luminous green are looking amazing. And of course black.
Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: cygan on January 04, 2023, 05:43:28 PM congratulations Humble Bitcoiners to your new project and i am very happy that after Moonbits (which unfortunately no longer exists) there is now with Itokawa Timebank another project from germany and the whole collector community around the world a grin and joy prepares :)
Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Humble Bitcoiners on January 04, 2023, 08:04:07 PM Thanks Cygan, really appreciate your kind words.
As i said above. I'm just a servant to Bitcoin since 2018. On 1st place comes my family (wanna thank them here for their support) On 2nd place when i open my eyes in the morning, there's Bitcoin. I decided to do a time intense work to pay homage to Satoshi's long days and nights of coding. A friend of mine was visiting me and said, "how crazy are you, working until midnight in this icy basement"...Bavarian winter nights can be really ugly😂 But it was worth every second until now. Hope we will all together change this slavery Fiat world into a equal & free one😌 Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: krogothmanhattan on January 04, 2023, 11:01:17 PM Love your wallets! The emerald green is amazing!
Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Frank AlpenCoin on January 05, 2023, 11:40:12 AM Great work humble. Gratuliere dir.

Indeed; hard work, effort and love (next to the blood, sweat and tears). If there is an Itokawa left, please reserve one for me. Buy or trade. Looking forward to a road-trip and will pick up personally (+ drink a beer or two). Thanks for showing the progress on the Itokawa's my friend. Much appreciated. Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Humble Bitcoiners on January 06, 2023, 09:05:32 PM Thanks for all your lovely comments. It's a pleasure for me to do passionate Bitcoin Art for you🍀

Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Humble Bitcoiners on January 12, 2023, 11:13:39 AM Info to all people who reserved.
I fixed price yesterday (0.0375 Btc plus 0.003125 load value) when i sent the first Itokawa's out to Miner Jones and Sweden. It's a little bit less than on reservation day and a bit more than this morning. Just want that nobody pays more ore less Btc for it. Hope i'll get all shipped this month. I'm working like crazy on it🥳 Thanks for your patience Title: Re: Itokawa Timebank wallet finally ready Post by: Humble Bitcoiners on January 14, 2023, 04:58:46 PM #10 in Deep black available

I quit their reservation for that reason.
