Auction for ColdKey victims of the apparent theft


LINK: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434506.0


This thread is going to serve as a collection list of items people are willing to donate to a future auction that will take place on January 31st 2023 and will run for a period of time.

Each item will be listed as a different lot to bid on.

The payment address will be supplied by another community member who is trusted to collect these funds, not me.

As items are brought up in this thread or via PM I will add it to the list here.

I'm so sad for those who lost funds in this debacle. Hoping everyone involved can get restitution.

If you would like to add an item to this charity auction please send me a PM here on the forum with an image of the item or email me, or reply to this thread.

Please note that whatever items you choose to donate you will be responsible for shipping the item to the auction winner for that particular lot. An alternative could be is one person can collect these items and redistribute them, but that may add to the shipping costs all around.

This thread will be updated as new/more info is presented.

UPDATE JAN 30th :

Just spoke to MinerJones.

I will be shipping him a batch of blank 2022 Lealana 0.01 BTC Brass coins for the donators as a thank you.

Each donator will be given one of these blank coins. I will permanently mark the link to this thread on each coin's back facing surface along with a list of all the donator's forum handle on each coin.

MJ will help with the shipping of these to the donators.

I'm so pleased to see how many of you were willing to give in a time of need to those who were scammed.

Thank you all who so generously donated.




Looking for trusted party to hold funds:

Please if any one in the community who has a good trust track record would like to hold the funds please let me know. Not sure how to determine this as I don't want to dictate this. Perhaps a community consensus of who those persons could be would be appreciated.


Big Mahalo to all who have donated! 🤙




EDIT: FEB 1st

For all who donated to the auction:

Blank 2021 Brass Lealana coins. One per donator shipped by Minerjones.

I may add a design to the center area if I have time before they ship.

BIG MAHALO TO ALL DONATORS FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!

If I missed anyone's name I will add it on to the coins before they ship. My bad!

Thank you so much smoothie You are truly the best of the best. 👍💯💥

Wow you're an amazing asset to this community thanks for being so thoughful/generous

Proper.  I will root through my stuff this weekend and shoot you a message to add.

I will also donate something although I don't have anything exotic, but something
interesting nonetheless!

Will update the post with an image later

Thank you for organizing this & being the first one to donate items.

Greatly appreciated !!!

Same here :D

I’ll definitely find something over the weekend too  :)

Smoothie: feel free to add these lots:

- Alpen Coin Vreneli 2.0 Brilliant serial A034 loaded with 0.001 BTC

https://i.imgur.com/Ad6QJy2.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/C2VwO0J.jpg

I can ship these items to mj or Mopar or to you.

I would like to offer a low run clear window polymerbit note for this auction. Will need some time to get you images.


https://i.imgur.com/n98XtyW.jpg?1

I want to thank you all for all the messages reaching out to donate. I will take some time to update the list later today, tonight, or tomorrow with pictures and details.

I've added one more item to the donation list:

1/4 oz 999 fine GOLD Bitcoin Penny 2018 year (original packaging with hologram in tact)

Are there any suggested person(s) who should be trusted with the auction proceeds?

I would rather not hold them.

I'm open to hearing input on the matter.

One user brought up the discussion of how to distribute the funds to those affected. I'm not sure how this will work. But I'm sure the community can come up with a good way to do such a task.

I offer to volunteer but would also suggest minerjones

If it needs to be it could be done as a multisig wallet with 3 key holders requiring that at least 2 agree to send the funds - this way no 1 person can walk away with it

Okay the 3 key holders sounds better.

Can you organize this?

Aloha polymerbit,

Can you specify exactly how I should label the item for the OP donation list?

That would help me a lot.

Mahalo,

Smoothie

Yes - will get with MJ tomorrow to confirm and we will provide an address at that time

awesome thank you for helping where you can.

+1 here

I'll put this into the auction, 2017 South African Krugerrand 1 Troy Oz .999 Silver:

https://i.imgur.com/tit1uICl.jpg





Yes I know it's 2 of 3 multisig, can you also please agree to use hardware wallets. You have all been trusted with a lot more funds then this will probably get to, but it's more the point now just to show that extra caution is good, you can never be too paranoid, whatever. This on top of the lukejr hack just gives BTC and this forum a bad look at the moment.

-Dave

I never use hardware wallets - would not even know how to start with using one.

I have quite a few of em in my collection though :)

I use core - does that count? This is to show that one person cannot up and run with the funds - provide a bit more peace of mind. There is not enough money in existence to make me take it. My face is known, my name is known, my address is known and quite frankly I am simply not built that way.

Don't want to take this too far OT, but it's not about trusting you. It's about avoiding vulnerabilities. We are all human, we all can get tired, make mistakes, or just not pay attention and screw up. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5432665.0;all Putting aside all the conspiracy theories luke who has been a BTC developer for years who knew better still managed to mess up and loose a fortune.

That is the point of HW wallets. AND, this is just my view, if you use them and talk about them other people might use them and then some people who DID make a mistake / did something stupid will not loose their BTC since even though someone got access to their BTC wallet they could not do anything with it without the hardware wallet to sign the transaction.

-Dave

to me hw wallets have a higher chance of failure than myself :) and wasn't lukes on an exchange or something? that was the first issue in my opinion.

but agreed not wanting to derail.

if it must be with a hardware wallet, I use bitcoin core - that's as close to hardware wallet I will ever get (outside of like a ballet hot wallet - but I would not use that for this) If that does not work for the community, then I will step aside and let minerjones work with another person. It does not offend me in the least.

On behalf of NovemberMan, he is donating:

1) Cardsmiths Currency Series 1 Base Set
2) Citadel Magazines #2 to #10

https://i.imgur.com/hXJNFfu.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/Tc6hwvG.jpg

Maybe I am missing something here.  Are these items going to be auctioned off for a bona fide 403(c) "charity" to sort of make "lemonade out of lemons."  Or, are these funds that will be given to people who got their Coldkey wallets swept by Yogg?

I would see the needs of true charities to be very different from reimbursing folks who have been scammed.  Many people have been scammed out of their crypto over the years.  It's a risk we all understand and take.  Heck, I've been scammed out of BTC before.  So I'm hoping this is an effort to try and generate funds for those who are truly in need as opposed to those who have means, but maybe just a bit less now due to Yogg.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very sympathetic to what happened to all of Yogg's victims, but it's a false equivalency to suggest that this would be a true "charity' auction.

If this is going to a true charity, then for sure I'll have some Cardsmiths items to donate.

And I'm speaking for myself here, not Cardsmiths to be clear. 

I would like to add this to the list.

I am offering a 16 card set of the Ballet Holiday cards. This is auctioned/sold etc. as a set, not 16 individual cards. 

These are the plastic version on sale 2022 holiday, no longer available. 
All 4 designs in all 4 denominations (0.001, 0.002, 0.005, and 0.01).
They are all personalized from "Satoshi Nakamoto" 
They are all unloaded.

Mahalo Dave!





Big mahalo geophphreigh!

Mahalo Novemberman!

Perhaps the word "Charity" was the wrong word to use.

The idea here is to gather items the community is willing to donate that will go to fund a "relief fund" for those who have lost money in the coldkey debacle.

I can add x3 2013 Brass 0.10 Lealanas (unfunded w/ addy's) & x1 Autographed Norman Comics SMOOVEHAIR Physical card w/ XCP/BTC SMOOVEHAIRFB NFT (https://xchain.io/asset/SMOOVEHAIRFB (https://xchain.io/asset/SMOOVEHAIRFB)) to the relief fund

https://i.ibb.co/ygt0Kpf/IMG-8144.jpg
https://i.ibb.co/N2Qr3fS/IMG-8143.jpg

Mahalo Sweeteye!

I will add this to the list shortly.  :)

Please add Rainbow(VIBGYOR) colour series - Orange set - #   64 (0.01 BTC and 0.001 BTC) - unfunded.

Apologies for the delay, I have some magazines⁷ I would like to contribute, as I mentioned
they are not that exotic but could start off someone on their new collection or add to an
existing one.

Look the way I see it is that there is a really good community here in the collectibles
board and I a positive thing and important to support each other, not just each others projects,
trades or auctions etc. but a times like this. I would like and hope that others would do something
as positive as this if something like this were to happen to me.

Also almost everyone at some point has ran FREE RAFFLES on the board and this is
not that different.

What is different here is the level of betrayal by someone well regarded and well supported.
It is about the loss in both the Bitcoin and the monetary value of the products/project but
it's also about that "knife in the back" feeling which the friends of YOGG and supporters of
the project must feel. Contributing to this venture sends a statement that we are standing together
and supporting each other for now....and the future.

Happy to offer reshipping for all the prizes if wanted/needed :D

Got a Bitcoin Penny Silver 2019 to add to the auction list

Hi,

I have #4 1 LTC Bar for the relief auction / fund; homage to the Lealana 1 LTC coin.
Bar is 3.6 OZT .999 FS. Funded with 1 LTC.

It's a very good idea, sorry don't have enough smerits for everyone  :P

I will donate a full set of plated bars.. DIY, or buyer funded the winning bidder can choose the type. The holos are marked BF or DIY
https://i.imgur.com/2D6Np2B.jpg

Will be updating the OP list with all of the new donation items soon.

Thank you all so much for the donations, it is very cool to see so many individuals willing to give in such a dark time for some.

Hoping these items help in some meaningful way to those who lost funds.

Bitcoin artist/mememaster Aaron Gombar (with the new bitcointalk username "NOTNORMANCOMICS") has generously donated his DOPE SMOOVEHAIR NFT (https://xchain.io/asset/SMOOVEHAIR (https://xchain.io/asset/SMOOVEHAIR)) to pair with the physical card and NFT card back above

SWEEEET.

@Sweeteye,

can you specify whether these items will be auctioned as a single lot or separate lots?

Once I know this I will add it to the list accordingly.

Let me know

thanks

Could you please provide links/images for these item(s)?

thanks

Thanks Mbitr for your donation.

Could you clarify if the upside down eagle is a more rare piece?

I'm not too familiar with the upside down eagle.

Wheelz thank you for your donation!

Did you want these auctioned as a single lot or multiple lots?

Once I know this I will add it to the list accordingly.

Let me know.

Mr. Mojo thank you for your donation!

Please specify if this is for three plated bars AND if they will be auctioned off as ONE lot or multiple lots.

Once I know this I will add it to the list accordingly.

Thanks

@smoothie DM'd you
thanks!

Yes three plated bars donated same as pictured. One lot is fine

I would like to add one of these 9 chip sets to the pile

Hi smoothie.
I can’t find the bitcoin penny thread that has all the details at the moment, I’m not sure how rare this is?
Im sure some more knowledgeable members can help?.
TIA :)

These are how the silver pennies were made.
There are 2 versions.. a right-facing eagle and left-facing eagle... all of them are "upside down". This is coin alignment vs medal alignment. Or some call it "book turn"
The original 2015 had some of these "error" book turns coin :D
https://www.quora.com/How-do-coin-alignment-and-medal-alignment-differ

I'm not donating any collectible, but I hope the charity campaign I've created here Charity Signature and Avatar Campaign - Auction for ColdKey victims (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436148.0) can help to boost the people awareness in this forum about this charity auction.

I hope the charity auction will be successful  :)

OgNasty's not gonna scam anyone.

This is a great campaign being put together here. Respect to everyone who contributes to this. This is not something that can be taken for granted and it impresses me. Unfortunately I can't add anything. But one question came to my mind. Does cygan also get something from the proceeds? After all, he paid compensation for many victims out of his own pocket and is therefore also a victim of the coldkey scandal. So he should also be seen as a victim in my opinion or what do you guys think?  :)

I'll do it.
Distribute funds = pay to many, easy :)

all i want is for the whole thing to be settled by yogg!
i was in the same boat as yogg and once again do not want to be reimbursed by the affected customers
also please do not organize actions like raffles or the same for me

All right, no problem. Thanks for your answer. Yes, it would really be best if yogg took responsibility for that. After all, he caused the disaster. Cross my fingers for that. After all, it wasn't your fault.  :)

Agree he is going nowhere. But I would still want to keep it as 2 of 3 multisig as discussed earlier in the thread.

Even if everyone 100% trusts everyone else involved it still makes it a bit more secure and shows people it can be done so they can do the same things for the security of their funds.


I really don't think that is ever going to happen. Seems to be the kind of person that even if he DID win the lottery and had all the money to pay people back would still just walk away.

-Dave

I can donate a 1/2 oz silver Mary Ola BF bitcoin piece. It will be hallmarked "CT" but will not be the numbered edge piece. Mintage of 100. Will come in a simple round plastic capsule.

https://i.imgur.com/hwtZZdm.jpg?1

I can also donate (1) one 2023 7.77 gram silver Puerto Rico 250,000 Satoshi Prototype piece. Fully funded!! Mintage of 15. Hallmarked "CT" and is stamped #4. Will come with a Numis slider case with an informative label.

https://i.imgur.com/Z19vT2c.jpg

Mahalo CARIBBEAN_TREASURES and all others who have reached out in the past few days.

I will try to carve out some time today or tomorrow to get the list updated.

 :)

So far we have the following parties that have volunteered publicly to help assist with the auction funds:

Minerjones
MoparMiningLLC


I'm in no way trying to dictate who should or shouldn't hold the funds.

As it currently stands the two individuals above appear to be trusted by the collectibles community to assist with such a task.

If there are no objections by the time Jan 31st rolls around, I will assume they will be the ones to take care of handling the proceeds.

Thanks for handling this, smoothie. And nice to see quite a few donations.  :o

I'd be suprised to hear any objections, sounds like a great way to handle it. Will it be a multi-sig thing or just split funds?

Also I was wondering how the auction should be held.
- duration?
- all in one or split up into 2, or 3 seperate auctions?

Personally I think a split into at least 2 seperate, maybe 3 consecutive auctions would be good to increase exposure to potential bidders. Length a few days, maybe even 7+ days, for the same reason.
Maybe there are other ideas?

Personal opinion: Multiple auctions perhaps several days in-between each auction end and next one starting.

Just my 0.02BTC

One big lot and $100 tickets for a draw.

Confirming safe reception of these auction items :D
Thanks Frank :)

Hi Cygan, I won stickers raffle Lot 3, thank you, may i ask, would you mind to send to MJ whenever possible.

Very cool initiative to support those effected 8)! Its truly a shame many of the coldkey items had their funds swiped. Some of the artwork really was amazing and just found out the other day that my silver having set had the funds taken  :o!

I don't think these have been added to the list.  I'm open to send them in for whatever you guys come up with as far as auction/raffle goes.  Would just need to know where to these Silly cardboard thingys.

Can ship to me if wanted.

Aloha Henk,

Could you provide me a short description of what the item you are donating is (metal type/content/year/etc)?

Once I have this I will add it to the OP.

Mahalo for your donation,

Smoothie

Aloha Wheelz,

Mahalo,

I dont have a lot of fancy things - and the few I do, I am keeping but I am working to eliminate most but not all of my collection that is not Bitcoin oriented, that being said, I am donating the following coins

1. F*D Litecoin Coin 2017 1 oz FS #990
2. F*D Dark Coin 2015 (prior to name change to Dash Coin)
3. F*D BCH Coin 1 oz FS #034
4. Moonbits 1 BTX Coin M2576
5. Moonbits 100 MEC Coin #F0061

the moonbits are intact/not peeled - the F*D will include holos

I have a 1HodlClub Litecoin Casino Card and a 2021 IHodlClub Copper Bitcoin I would like to donate. Traveling now but will post pics if I am not too late for this to be added.

Steeley

Yes I will make sure these are auctioned as one single lot when auctioned off.

Mopar! Thank you for more donations.

As one single lot or separate lots?

Aloha/mahalo Steeley for your donation.

Please post some pix.

Now that the donation period has been completed I will be organizing FOUR separate auctions with multiple lots that will run for approximately 3-6 days in length and be in succession (one after another is completed).

I will post the general details for these FOUR auctions once I've ironed out all the details.

MJ and Mopar (or both of you) please contact me to provide a BTC payment address for the auction proceeds to be sent to after each auction.

It has been an honor to help where I can and I would really like to thank all of the donators for their kind contributions to the auction list.

Aloha

Smoothie

hmm 2 lots - the 3 F*D together and the 2 Moonbits together - will that work? If not, all separate then.

I had some sh*t come up last night and hope it's not too late to donate below.  It is a 2017 .999 Silver, not plated, Cryptonic Monero coin, mintage of 58.

Let me know.

Thx,
2stout

@smoothie Seeing that these didn't make the list, dm'd you with how I thought they might be auctioned.
Any interest?

Initially I didnt add it to the list as I wasn't sure how you wanted them auctioned.

Now I see your message. Will add them to the list as a single lot for now.

Sorry about the delay.

Smoothie

This effort is no longer accepting donations of items.

If you have an item you would wanted to donate but didn't just start another auction/sales thread and feel free to donate the proceeds.

Good contacts for the donation process would be Minerjones and MoparminingLLC.

Aloha

1 Microsoul 0.1BTC nominated Gold plated Bar with 2 holograms, 2016.

For all who donated to the auction:

Blank 2021 Brass Lealana coins. One per donator shipped by Minerjones.

I may add a design to the center area if I have time before they ship.

BIG MAHALO TO ALL DONATORS FOR YOUR GENEROUS DONATIONS!

If I missed anyone's name I will add it on to the coins before they ship. My bad!

Will get these shipped to MinerJones along with all of the other in the coming week or so.

Added. Sorry about that. Missed it.

Aloha,

I'm not sure if it qualifies but I am donating the 0.006 BTC that I received from the auction of the 4x cold-key set to the public address (auction treasury) associated with this thread. When said public address is made available publicly.

Link to cold-key set auction: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5436317.0

If this is deemed as a donation in accordance with the criteria of this thread, I would be honored to be squeezed in somewhere on the coin.

Fantastic! love it'

Here's the compilation of all items + images from the donors who donate their own collectibles. There are few images still missing because the donors haven't attach the images, I will update it. Anyway amazing collectibles and it's really unique from one to another, hope the charity auction will be successful ;)

I wanted to supply pictures of the finished pieces of the actual items that would be shipped. Mary Ola has been built and is ready to go. The silver PR prototype is built and fully funded with .0025 now. Bid often and bid high ;) Smoothie Thanks for the great gift. Let me know a final mintage for those as I put mintages of 30 and under in a different safe location.  :)

1/2 oz Mary Ola with new CT holograms. Mary Ola is a motherly figure who provides and protects for you. She holds your keys. This round is hallmarked "CT" so I know it was originally build by Caribbean Treasures and the hologram serial number is recorded. It is designed in a generic way with no denominations so you can build it with any of the cryptos listed on the back. You would simply turn the round so whatever keys you build it with have that crypto located at 12 o'clock and apply the hologram. This specific piece was built with bitcoin keys. If you would like to redeem the bitcoin and build it with another crypto such as THETA keys, just ask. I will ship a couple extra original holograms with the circular transparent window labeled "Crypto Bugs"

https://i.imgur.com/QoEvSkT.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/f1vdviz.jpg

The Puerto Rican 7.77 gram silver prototype is packaged up and is ready to go, but is kinda hard to see from the plastic packaging. These are part of a physical currency project for the caribbean islands and countries. I did a few different designs to see what works best for visuals, understanding and comprehension of the public. Pieces listed in Bitcoin, Satoshi and BITS exist in small numbers. Mass produced pieces will be in copper, silver and gold with different denominations.

The Hologram - At the top of the hologram it says "Caribbean" with the serial number in bold under it. A square transparent window is centered and will display the public key. A pair a swords cross to protect the pile of "Treasures" at the bottom of the hologram. The background is binary and translates to "IN GOD WE TRUST".

I put a sad face next to my 12 that were swept by yogg and here is a picture of them all still assembled I took tonight but forgot to add the date and username,  I will redo tomorrow
https://imgur.com/a/T5mC9i8

Thanks a lot to smoothie, minerjones and everyone else that made this come together for the victims 🙏

Maybe they can be crossed off or deleted as repaid 🤔

the ones on feb 10th - he pulled more funds???


are these cards still intact? if they are, that just furthers the case that Yogg is behind the theft as he was the only one with the keys if the cards are intact.

They were intact… and it’s 100% Yogg’s Bitch Ass!

    Who else man....he still is doing as he pleases and free.  >:(

they were intact? or are intact? I am only asking as I dont see that stated above but maybe he posted it elsewhere?

do not get me wrong - I am no way supporting or defending yogg - just asking for validation is all.

Awesome!

REQUEST: Can you give us all a total on how much funds have been gathered in total across all four auctions?

This would be very helpful to know.

As far as what will happen to the funds and how to distributed them, I do not want to have any say in this process.

Aloha

Smoothie

Sure thing.. right now The amount sent to the address so far is 0.25425 btc
There is balance of 0.25235 btc, as one of the bidders included their shipping cost of 0.0019 btc in their payment

I have yet to submit my payment for the 2 wins yesterday.. will do so soon. :)

kudos smoothie for this great auction and that such a great amount has come together!

---

that is a very valid question
all victims have contacted me (after i created this thread: [INFO] Scammed/Peeled by Coldkey (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434598.0)) and have been reimbursed by me (for the amount loaded on their cards).
my suggestion would be that you should first refund the users who did not accept my offer of refund (because they wanted the money from yogg and not from me)

I was thinking the most efficient method for auction fund distribution would be members that have cards on the lists I provided and have not been reimbursed yet could prove which cards they have, as I did. After a certain amount of time has passed the auction funds could be divided evenly among the wallet holders since the total swept was beyond the auction funds 🤔 I couldn't think of a better option, please don't hesitate to post ideas 🙏

  I agree...those victims first that refused Cygans BTC on principle

   And if it were up to me....I would also refund Cygan as he was not a scammer. So for doing the right thing if there any left overs give to Cygan for any BTC he rolled out personally

you guys decide then
but first of all please refund the victims and if there are still some sats left then we can talk about further steps :)

2 Big If's... but I think this would be a great idea...

If the Icarus folks are up for making a special edition wallet for the victims & donators using some of the funds raised...

If Lucho would be willing to make some art for the card/wallet or possibly just edit the original halving set art to show maybe a ColdSweep getting torn in half (halving haha)

In a way, Lucho is the face of the scam though he wasn't responsible.  And Icarus is basically the rebirth of ColdSweep but without the rug pulls.  Seems fitting.

Each victim & each donator for the charity auction would receive a wallet & the funds left over would be equally distributed to each wallet.

Everyone gets a cool collectible, some bitcoin funding & could possibly make some people whole in a couple years if the wallets are cool & go up in value.

that is based on the assumption that the collectors are in the mindset to sell for a profit. I paid high premiums to buy mine after the initial sales and while (luckily) none of my card were swept, in reality the load value was a small fraction of what I spent.

And that probably goes for everyone who bought theirs on the secondary market vs direct.

The hard truth is the amount swept, the amount loaned to yogg, the amount paid for undelivered cards etc etc far outweighs what was made in the auctions.

Yea of course.  I paid .05973 BTC for my one silver halving set.  I'll never be made whole.  I wouldn't sell the wallet if it was made, but seemed like a good idea for everyone involved.

Obviously the auction funds should go toward the actual swept wallets (including cygan for the ones he reimbursed) as we took losses on the premiums, unrecieved (paid for) orders, and loans toward bringing the project back to life  but those can't be added or it would be unmanageable and well over 1 btc just in my case alone. Fbi will hopefully be helping with this issue in the near future but for now it would be nice if the immediate victims got something for holding these (once) amazing collectibles.

I'll be making a contribution to this fund (as mentioned here prior to the auctions) and have more good things to share early next week.

I actually love this idea! Even if no sats are added to the end cards and we use the proceeds to pay lucho and Icarus.

If you chose to not peel the cards after Yoda kindly gave us all notice of being swept then that to me is on you and shouldn’t be reimbursed. We all knew the halvings were compromised, if you left them funded and they are now swept - then you bet on red and the ball landed on black. I peeled all history sets on principle, cuz fuck Yogg - zero chance I’d leave halvings intact.  It’s not like he swept them the next day - but a month later.

Besides that - I have no opinion. Run a raffle with 1 spot per coldkey owned and multiple pay outs,, donate it to a good cause, or whatever, but Yoda gave us all notice to peel and if you knew about it and chose not to - well that’s negligence.

 0.38875 Current balance
-0.00065 postage
-0.00190 postage
--------
 0.3862 true/adjusted balance
-0.4003 total bids
--------
-0.0141 outstanding bids

There are 2x bids for 0.013 and 0.0011 outstanding
Once we get those 2x payments, we will have our balance of 0.4003

I'm sure we would not mind making a card etc but Icarus will not be making funded collectibles or even fundable collectibles at least not in the near future unfortunately but then again that's kind of the point. 🤷‍♂️

Do the math, there are not even enough auction funds to cover the yogged wallets 🤔 let alone anything more.
And no, if you see my previous post I unfortunately had no physical access to my collection until recently when I got them to help make the lists of directly affected wallets for the victim auctions and realized he had swept another batch of cards in February. Obviously peeling at that point would have been pointless

I like this idea . Luckily I didnt lose funds to yogg. But I did peel my copper halving and I think 8 or 9 other cold keys that were purchased on the secondary and I paid some high premiums. So I kind of like the idea of a raffle with how many cards held earns a spot for each. IDK, Just such a shitty situation. Im cool with whatever everyone decides.  

Maybe start a list or something to keep track of what people want and then put it to a vote.

I would like to thank Smoothie for the donation to the donors. I finally built mine. I found a way to build it and still allow the names and link to be seen. :) I'll probably slab it.

https://i.imgur.com/1g5Rw81l.jpg

I did similar but with a clear hologram and then sent to ICG to be slabbed.

Nice, that's a good idea. I didn't have clear ones. I do have 12mm size though  ;D. Let me know your grade. I doubt mine will grade high due to all the dings on it, but its still a cool rare piece with a story. :)

yea the coins are not in the greatest shape so interesting to see how it does. I should have em back next week.

i wanted to emphasize this topic again (and hopefully for the last time), because unfortunately nothing is happening in this regard...
my suggestion was and is that the following users should be compensated first:

chronicsky - 0.055BTC
Mitchell - 0.0125BTC

i would also be very happy if my costs, which were incurred by the whole refundig, were also paid - and that was already a considerable sum...

Nothing is happening because the affected users cannot reach a consensus on what to do with the funds.
Those two collectors could be paid back and then we would have outstanding debt of funds paid out by you and the loans that were taken.
Maybe since it would be you and only 2 or 3 others, you could make an agreement with them on how to pro-rate the funds so that it is fair for each person

that sounds good. i would even waive a certain amount so that there is something left of the 0.4003BTC mentioned. you never know when new victims will show up here and the future will show whether anyone will actually come forward.
but most of the users (44 cards from 19 victims) have already been compensated by me

If the 0.0125BTC is coming from the auctions (and not your pocket), I will gladly accept it.

curious - not an objection - but curious, why those two individuals over the rest? and what is being refunded/paid to the victims? the amounts lost from being swept by yogg? If so, did everyone else accept funds from you except these two?

I was fortunate in that I only lost funds from one card. My loss stems from the loan, amount paid for 25 cards never delivered and the value paid for the cards on the secondary market.

np Mopar.
the two users contacted me at the time and i reimbursed them chronicsky only out of my own pocket. only the amount that was loaded on the said card was/is paid
exactly and all other victims have received the money from me personally - see the following thread: [INFO] Scammed/Peeled by Coldkey (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5434598.0)

if you reimbursed them out of your pocket - why would you need to reimburse them again? or do you mean they contacted you and you did not reimburse them?

I have not been reimbursed for the funding I lost (it was one of the timelocks) but that was not identified until much later as he swept it much after all of this happened. 

I declined the money before, since I did not want to paid out of cygan's pocket. That felt (and still feels) unfair, which is why I am willing to accept it if those funds are from the auctions.

the two users contacted me at the time with all the necessary data. as Mitchell has already written, he immediately said that he did not want to be reimbursed by me. chronicsky, on the other hand, only found out afterwards that i had reimbursed him with my own money and he then paid me back the amount

Will accept it too if we are the only one's left as mentioned by cygan!

For the rest, we can maybe have a claim time? and if anything left afterwards , can decide accordingly?

ok that makes sense - in your prior post you said the two contacted you and that you did pay them - I am now believing that was a typo and that you meant you did not reimburse them (ultimately as chronicsky repaid it)


I also did not want to be paid by you directly and that is why I never joined in on the claim either.

i just saw the typo too. i changed it, of course ;)

btw who decides whether the satoshis goes to the three of us first?

ok lol makes more sense now :)

and now that funds are to be disbursed from the auctions etc - how do I put in a claim for the funds I lost from the one card? for the 25 undelivered cards and the .05 BTC loan?

i can't answer that question either. the only thing is that things have to move on here. it's all well and good that the funds have been lying around for almost 6 months now, but they should also be moved and distributed
and if nobody gets in touch, then nothing will happen and the satoshis will remain on the wallet for a few more months

just my 2 sats

thank you Cygan.

It will be interesting to see how this progresses, who would one even submit a claim to? What is required to prove the loss?

ie in my case with the the loan/the 25 card purchase/funds lost from the one card etc

I think there are quite a few more that did not accept a "refund" from cygan, right? I know I didn't (wasn't crazy much, though).

A way to approach the how-to-manage-funds question would be to have maybe one person or a team of 2 or 3 trusted collectible memebers that take the task upon them to collect all data on anyone affected by sweeps, missing cards, missing funding and loans.
We then can compare that total to the funds that were collected during the charity auctions. Let's say we get a 1:5, meaning for every Satoshi that's "missing" we have 0.2 Satoshi to distribute to anyone affected.
All this should/could have a deadline (maybe within 3 months or so) - anyone that doesn't come forward with proveable losses from the Coldscam will not receive compensation from the charity funds.

Sure, we can prioritize either people who loaned money or people that haven't accepted cygans offer, or cygan himself - but most fair to me seems to take EVERYONE into account equally and just payout a share like suggested above.

Just my few sats. It's late after a long day and maybe I missed some important points.
So feel free to discuss.

That may work, but cygan already refunded people at 100% of their loss.
How would that factor into the losses/repayments?
If it did come to a 1:5 ratio, would they have to pay back 80%?

Good question and first impulse is: They can't be factored in at all. Good for them, I mean it was everyone's choice to take up cygan's offer or not.
Them paying back 80% (or whichever number it is) is of course not a feasible option.

Generally I believe there are only non-optimal options, meaning someone will always feel disadvantaged or believe the funds should be distributed here or there first or with other proportions. That's why I think there shouldn't be any priority.
That said I think lost premiums cannot (and should not) be included in the losses calculation. They change all the time and cannot really be determined, also I would book it under regular collector risks to lose out on (most) of a premium value.

Yeah, I wouldn't expect people who already received compensation to pay back funds.
So maybe it would be "better" if cygan paid back the two outstanding members (Mitchell and chronicsky) like he did the other members and then that would clear single card claims and only leave the loans, cygan, and undelivered/outstanding cards?  ???
This might make it a little easier to figure out the compensation level/ratio

I think the issue is that there are more than 2 who were not paid back fully - kryptowerks and myself as examples of two such.

There are probably a dozen or so that have not been paid back.

Also - how do you verify if they  swept it or if Yogg actually did? the ones that are in bulk are obvious but if I recall there were single cards that were claimed to have been swept by Yogg but they were in a single transaction on their own and not with the group sweeps.

I also think nothing can be done for the premiums - that is the risk we all take in collectibles.

as for loans and undelivered cards, there is surely not enough collected to cover those. Sadly.

i just want to make one thing clear so as not to give the wrong impression. of course i don't want to get my full amount refunded, but i would be very happy with 60-65% and on the other hand i want things to finally move on and be brought to a conclusion

In my opinion this is insane that everyone hasn't come to a conclusion yet on how to distribute the funds.  I would say for the sake of those whom graciously donated to this cause, it's time to pass the funds along to the victims.  Now I'm not completely caught up on the entire thread of late, so maybe there's stuff that I'm missing or has been discussed, but IMO it's an easy solution.  Those whom got rug pulled with their cards should be refunded first.  When it comes to loans that's technically impossible to prove fully how loans were paid out and what not, so IMO they should come second.  For the record I don't care if I see a dime back.  So I'm not saying this with any skin in the game as I'm fine taking my name of the list of those whom should receive funds.  Also, by now, I would hope everyone realizes suing Yogg would be a massive waste of time and money.

I agree partially -

1:  stolen/swept funds by Yogg
2: purchases never delivered
3: loans

While loans can be hard to document - some may be easier than others but I think loans should come last not second.

I dont think there are even enough funds to cover half of point one though.

But I agree it should be handled soon.
