Title: [CLOSED] bhCoins Serie 3 0.1 BTC denominated physical Bitcoin
Post by: bhcoins on September 24, 2014, 02:48:49 AM
UPDATE 15/04!!!!: [OPEN] bhCoins Serie 4 DIY physical bitcoin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=951699.0



UPDATE 10/17: full list of generated address (only for buyers) is here https://mega.co.nz/#!fcsGRRYK

Hi, we’re proud to introduce you the brand new bhCoin 2F Serie 3 (BIP38 compatible or Two Factor coin).


It's a limited edition of 200 coins, and we reserve for ourself the first 20 of them.

We generate the encrypted key (BIP38) and we assemble the coin and send it to you via registered letter mail.

Along with the coin we send you a certificate with the passphrase randomly generated so you can redeem the coin funds on a bitcoin wallet compatible with BIP38, as blockchain.info/wallet is.

You contact us and we send you a custom payment address. After receiving the payment we ship you asap.

The coins are UNFUNDED. We can fund them if buyer send us the 0.1 btc for each coin.


It has been a long time but now we have registered our official forum user, until we post updates here we are considered as “newbie” (but we can give references from our actual clients).

We have freenode IRC user too.


Price will increase as the edition sells out.

We will wait your order!


HOWTO FUND THE COIN
====================

1. Download full list of generated addresses for Series 3 from this link: https://mega.co.nz/#!fcsGRRYK
use thes key provided by us to download the file.
2. Read and copy QR code of the back of printed certificate, this is the bitcoin address of your coin (begin with '1')
3. Check that address just read is in the full list you downloaded. You can find this reading ‘bitcoin address’ column.
4. Check that ID number of front of the certificate match with ‘ID number’ column of that list too.
4. If steps 3 and 4 are OK the you can send the desired amount of btc to that address to fund the coin using your preferred bitcoin wallet.
5. Check your transaction is confirmed at http://blockchain.info/address/put-your-address-here


HOWTO REDEEM THE COIN

2. Read and copy QR code of the printed paper under the hologram, this is the encrypted private key of your coin (begin with ‘6P’).

3. Read and copy the passphrase printed on the back of certificate

Option 1: Using http://bit2factor.org (recommended)
---------------------------------------------------------------------

4. Go to Two-Factor Escrow -> Decrypt private key option
And paste there the encrypted private key (from step 2) and the passphrase (from step 3).
Finally click ‘Decrypt private key’ option and copy the private key (WIF format, begin with ‘5’).

5. Open your preferred (BIP38 compatible, like blockchain.info, bitcoin-qt, electrum) bitcoin wallet and find ‘import private key’ option or similar and paste there your private key from step 4.

6. Check your bitcoin wallet balance to reflect the amount of btc from recently imported coin.


Option 2: Using http://blockchain.info/wallet
----------------------------------------------------------

4. Go to ‘Import/export’ -> ‘Import private key’ option
And paste there the encrypted private key (from step 2) and click ‘import private key’, it will ask you the passphrase, so you will paste it (from step 3).
Finally click ‘import’ option.

5. Check your coin address will show in the wallet addresses list.

I want a couple of these, but the new account seems a bit off.  Can you prove that this is a real account?  Are you willing to do escrow?

Well I asked whether it was possible to choose the coin number and this was the response:

"We have disponible from number "0284" to "0402""

So I figure every number between those is available, lower numbers were previous series?

Yes, as hologram is the same design as previous series, the printed numbering begin with "0203" up to "0403".

Thanks

Yes, you are right.. some coins are better looking than others in closed photos. But we didn´t discard anything.

I finally received my coin and it looks awesome, I really like it. The certificate looks amazing as well. Will make some pictures and post them here.

However (and you may call me annoying), I do have two things to say:
1. The coin was a bit dirty when I received it (smudges and dust), no scratches as far as I can see, will check thoroughly later on.
2. It would be nice if the certificate was laminated. Normal paper doesn't match with how good the coin looks.

A small group buy might be in order to cut down on the shipping cost and get the best price without buying 11 coins.

What's the numbering on these? A picture above shows #0400 and yet there are only 200 total?

Shipping from Europe or US?

Thanks,

I got number 244 and the range is 200 to 400. That's what I understood from the messages being posted.
They don't ship from Europe nor the US. Not sure if I can openly post where they do ship from, sorry.

The shown price is unit price. At today price one coin mailed at your door would be 0.086 btc.

Coins are UNFUNDED. But we can load them if buyer give us the extra 0.1

We are shipping worldwide from Argentina. They are 200 minted physical coins with ID number beginning with '0203' because we used the same hologram from previous Series, and it had sequential numbering inkjet printed.

The latest series 3 coins are very nice and reasonably priced.  Great job.  I like the two tone gold on silver look.

Shameless plug...if anyone is looking for the last series, I have one for sale in my sig.  ;D

I just received a few and I really like the design and the mirror finish, but ...

1. Every coin has fingerprints.
2. The gold plating is sloppy (as in the picture above).

Beyond the loaded value, the coins only have value as collectables and these problems reduce that value. In the future, I don't know if you can improve the gold plating, but please wear gloves when assembling the coins.
