Bitcoin Forum

Introduction:
Over the years, we've had various project ideas. Some remained just ideas while others lingered in varying levels of completeness and not made public. Today however we'd like to present to you one of these projects.
Some time ago we've got the idea of releasing a crypto stamp and ordered a very limited batch to play around with the concept. The idea was to create something fun and a bit different without taking itself too serious. But what about selling and trading something that comes preloaded? We mitigated that risk by loading it with something worthless! So we chose to preload them with a small amount of testnet coins*.
It would be humbling to see them being redeemed to test out a cool new Bitcoin project! Actually, I can imagine this being a cool gift for a Bitcoin dev.
Also, thank you very much to mocacinno for providing the needed tBTC*!
*IMPORTANT: Testnet bitcoins are worthless and hold no monetary value, this is what makes them valuable.

At this point we have no plans on taking this idea further and would like to auction off most of the pieces created (there are a few more stamps with slight variations that we don't really know what to with at the moment).
Item Description:
A total of 12 numbered Bitcoin Sunrise stamp displays were created, each containing four Bitcoin Sunrise stamps. #1 is a PoC and was used as a test (this is the item in the pictures).
The Bitcoin Sunrise stamp has a famous Satoshi quote inscribed and a sunny Bitcoin rising over the mountains in the background.
Each stamp comes preloaded with *drums rolling*... 0.01 tBTC*.
Materials: acrylic, wood, paper, brass.
Dimensions: 14.7x10cm (5.78"x3.93").

0.0002 BTC for one LOT!

#3 stamp lot @ 0.0002BTC
#4 stamp lot @ 0.0002BTC

not quite sure which is the correct format to bid on a specific Bitcoin Sunrise stamp #  ???

One  stamp lot number 2 @ 0.0002BTC

Sorry if it seems confusing, could've probably worded it better. Each lot contains one Bitcoin Sunrise stamp display, with four stamps inside. First lot is Bitcoin Sunrise stamp display #3, second is #4, and so on until #10.

Thank you everyone for your bids and Merry Christmas!

Awww, I don't any testnet Bitcoin yet. My chance!

#5 @ 0.0002BTC
#6 @ 0.0002BTC


Actually I think the design looks great! The holo could be integrated a little bit better with the whole design, but apart from that very pretty.
Do you plan on re-creating this funded with mainnet-BTC?

@OP: If you are into crypto stamps, take a slot in my free CS raffle: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5428386.0
I'll get this rolling tomorrow.

Lot 7: .0002 BTC

Lot 8 BTC 0.0002

Thank you for the kind words! At this point these might be the only one ones, but if there's interest might spend more time on this, but trying to find a new way to load them with real BTC.
Yeah, I'm into stamps! Already own a few CS so would rather leave the spots to someone that doesn't have any. But thank you for the heads up and the raffle!

Lot #2 0.0004 BTC

Lot 10 @ .001BTC

Much like your profile pic, this has got to be a first. Very cool idea!!

Edit : lot 8 @ .001BTC

Thank you very much! Indeed, to my knowledge and research this is the first physical Bitcoin item that offers loaded testnet coins, but didn't want to word the announcement around this. My reasoning is that if this piece intrigues you enough then you will find this out. The piece should prove itself instead of having to be proven by marketing speak. My take however around the testnet loaded items, and non-fungible items for that matter, is a bit deeper than what you see here today.

Another thing about the Bitcoin Sunrise display that should be mentioned is that the design of the stamp is made by 3dOOm from our office, and for a non-artistic vocation/background individual he managed to surprise me a bunch of times with his creative ideas!

A bunch of the proceeds will likely go towards funding the BitcoinTalkShow - I know it's been a while, but there's been some work put into it; soon^tm.

All in all, thank you everyone for the bids.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday season to everyone!

PS: I assume you meant Bitcoin Sunrise display #10, which is Lot 8, if that's not the case pls let me know. In hindsight should've skipped putting them into separate lots, but I've seen this used a lot (pun intended  :D) around here and imagined myself trying it.

Lot 5: .001

Like tweetious I was a bit confused as well, lot 8 it is.. Thanks!
Definitely One the coolest collectibles/ideas I’ve seen in a while. Your deeper take has me wondering :)

Btw glad to hear the news about the btc talkshow, I’ve really enjoyed them so far. I’ve got an idea for helping fund the show’s future episodes, will shoot you PM about in a day or so (don’t want to be going off topic here).

Congratiulations and thank you for participating in the first auction I organized.
PM me or wait for me to contact you within 24 hours. Please verify that the PM comes from Cyrus, user id 78147.

Happy New Year everybody!

FACK I can't believe I missed this. I thought it ended tomorrow.  Man I am so mad at myself.  If there's another chance to obtain one or possibly be willing to sell one of the others please let me.  SOB what was I thinking.

Congrats to the winners.  If anyone is willing to sell them I'll pay double what you got them for.

It’s OK, you’re not alone - I forgot to check back as life happened - next time.😎

Congrats to the winners! I thought tweetious was gonna end up with more

I was wondering if any of the other winners have received the items yet OR shipping confirmation AND/OR a status update...

No, nothing yet  :-\

Sorry for the delay. We're packaging them tomorrow and for a good(I hope :D) reason! So best case scenario is shipping these in the same day.
Thank you!

are there any more available for purchase?

Not at this point. The priority is shipping these and figure out at a later date what to do with the few more left.

Man I can't believe I missed this one! Looks so cool!!

Thanks for the news. I will update when the item arrived. :)

So this sounds that there were even more of these beauties made?
I'm just curious because the OP stated a total of 12 stamps that were made. 8 were auctioned and #1 was a proof of concept. Means that 3 stamps could be auctioned aswell?

let me know when you do, would love to add one to my collection.

You know I’m in on one if you do. Still kicking myself. Grrrrrr >:(

How the fuck did I miss this? If anyone has one of them and wants to sell it or if more are produced, let me know!

arrived and looks great !!! Thank you  :)

Oh forgot to post here. I got mine aswell. Thanks for your first auction @Cyrus.
Really good looking item, very unique.

Just a small thing.. I used to win Lot 4 which should be serial #6 but I received the serial #5.. not a big deal but I used to own the #6 of a lot of other collectibles and it would have been nice to match it aswell.
@tweetious, you were the origin owner of #5. Did you receive the #6?

I have received serials #4 & #9. (I won Lots #3 & #8). Prolly everything was shifted by 1, instead of 2.... dunno (it is not a big deal for me too, all good)

Great to see they arrived intact and that you like them, really means a lot to us!

About the number shift, this was an error from our side! The lot system was confusing to everyone, including ourselves. First auction, first mistake - lesson learned  :D
We also went back and forth about what how many and what numbers to auction off. On the plus side, everyone got a lower number.
Sorry about the screw up and hopefully this isn't a big deal to anyone! We will try to make it up in the future.

This means the #1 prototype and #10,11,12 remain. We will post on the forum and contact those of you that wanted a heads up after missing this auction (know how it is, it sucks  :D).

Thanks again and hope the rest will arrive soon and that you will enjoy them!

Received my lot (Number 8 and not 7) including some btc stickers. Very nice item, nice to have on collection.
Thank you so much!

I am eager to see prototypes on auction ... ::)

Quick update if anyone’s interested :)
Some nice mentions  :)
