Title: "Cryptogenic Bullion" - Commemorative, Collectible Proofs!
Post by: FiniteByDesign on September 19, 2013, 12:35:39 PM


Locked topic to consolidate multiple threads. Please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=388847.0



12/20/13 UPDATE: Due to some gray areas in current US legislation, f*D is making the following changes until further notice.
- Payment is only accepted via PayPal through the website
- Loading of crypto to the proofs must be done by the customer (I suggest keeping the transaction detail as a printout inside the custom leatherette once the proofs are loaded
- Pricing has been adjusted on the website to align with the new policies and also I have added some end of the year bulk purchase discount pricing
- All reservations not yet paid for are being made available to the public

Sorry for the inconvenience and we hope to be able to accept crypto payment and loading of proofs in the future. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Title: Re: Physical Cryptogenic Bullion Bars (1 troy ounce) - Gauging interest
Post by: miffman on September 19, 2013, 01:31:03 PM
I would be interested :)

EDIT: Reserve #10 for me. My mind might change, but I am pretty interested :)

EDIT2: what would be the approx dimensions of the bar? One troy ounce doesn't seem like it would make a very big bar.

Reserving # 10 for the time being for you.

The dimensions are 2 inch x 1 1/8 inch (50mm x 29mm). Here is a similar product so you can get a better idea.

Ok, I have received reservation requests for # 1-13 and 50. I will be moving forward with the minting process. I will be reaching out to the reservations regarding the down payment soon. Thanks.

Hello,
I will be sending pm's now to each individual who has reserved a physical CGB bar confirming their reservation and requesting a 25% downpayment prior to minting. Due to the volatility of cryptos, I will have to do this via an established price in USD for now. I am placing the cost for 1 troy ounce bullion bar with the custom leatherette and 10 CGB attached behind the hologram sticker at $160 each. This means that a downpayment of $40 (in Bitcoin or CGB) is due now with the remaining balance of $120 (in Bitcoin or CGB) due when the pieces are in my hands and ready to ship - estimated at end of October. Shipping and handling also will need to be paid as an incremental expense prior to shipping. I will continue to take preorders should you have a specific number that you would like to reserve. Again, these pieces will have an engraving applied as well to each bar. My thought is that rather than showing the entire address, I will have the batch number:coin #/50:first 8 digits of wallet address. For example, coin 1 of 50's engraving will look something like this:
"1 : 1/50 : 5Gkhd8yh"
This data along with the remaining characters of the unique address will be represented on the corresponding Certificate of Authenticity.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if there are additional reservations.

Thanks,
f*D

Hi, I'm going to have to un-reserve my physical CGB order #5  :(

I still really want one but my financial situation is pretty dire so I can't guarantee I'll have the btc any time soon.
