Hi all, Up for auction: 6.4 OZT .999 silver - clay-casted - BTC prototype bar, funded with 0.0064 BTC Background:Twitter: https://twitter.com/ClayCastCryptoAuction for nr's. 1, 2 and 3 of our LTC serie: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5157382.0Auction for nr's. 1-5 of our BTC serie: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5170618- Hand-poured 6.4 OZT .999 silver bar using the Delft clay method - Prototype of a faulty 3D design: Top B-hole is 0.5 mm lower than bottom B-hole (poured it anyway) - First pour this size, but promising for pouring in Delft clay - Sandblasted - Titanium engraved plate for the private key - top 5 letters readable but damaged due to 'impatient' cramming of the titanium in the bar... (dropped the wood wedge and hammered the edge of the titanium plate) - Private key also printed on paper and placed on top of engraved private key, for assurance - The holographic sticker sticks, but it is not a good fit at the edge, which will probably make the edges curl a micro-bit in a decade or two - Funded with 0.0064 BTC - Silver bar comes with the (error in top B-hole) 3D printed model, enclosed in a custom casing - The custom casing is polished, but has some visible scratches - The silver is enclosed with foam on the sides, to keep it snug-fit in the casing - ....It's a prototype, should have been unfunded, but it is not  Click image for a larger depiction:       Bidding:- Starting Bid: 0.025 BTC - Bid Incremeents: 0.001 BTC - Bids & payments: Bids in BTC, payments in BTC - Payment address: 1J7QkK5uj39in6iCnGrDKTcjg7AiowWyHE (if you seem to trust me and want to buy directly: use this address, will not pm you to request payment to another address) - Escrow: Miner Jones, escrow costs are for buyer - Auction Ends: Friday, 20 december, 20.00 GMT +1 (Amsterdamned time) - Sniping: No snipes, each bid in the final 10 minutes adds 10 minutes until no bid has been made for 10 minutes - Shipping: Free shipping worldwide.

Thanks!
We are still working on a site for the complete backstory and more images of the process (and fails...).
Also, seems BTC keeps bumping up, so see what we can do about that. These bars should come at a fair (fiat) price.
Is it possible to ad a last-minute raffle within this auction for the lots people are bidding for? Extra prize...
Ideas are welcome.
Guerilla-embedded-raffle-prize-background:When we started, we had no experience with 3D software, 3D printing options or access to a quality 3D printer, so we used a 3D printing service. Our first printed mold was a small Ethereum bar, followed by two LTC designs, similar in width, height and thickness (or lack of it). The 3D printing company we contacted also offered a service to print models in wax and cast it in silver, brass, bronze or gold using the 'lost wax' method. To see the casting quality of a professional company, we ordered one model in sterling silver, three in brass with rhodium plating and one bigger model in bronze with a PU coating. We had plans to order 10 small rhodium plated LTC bars, but did not, because we felt uncomfortable with selling products we did not make ourselves. We will however, revisit rhodium plating our objects in the near future. Rhodium is often used as a protective layer on top of jewelry, harder and more resistant to scratching. The raffle prize is a botched LTC bar with regard to funding. It also has some scratches, despite the rhodium. After an 'aw f#ck it' moment, I went ahead and assembled the rhodium plated prototypes. I had no LTC, so decided to buy the LTC with iDeal and fund directly from an exchange. Never do funding from an exchange when having a bad day and a drink or two, Two bars were correctly funded with 1 LTC, this one was funded with 0.999829 LTC. Yes yes... We are no Denarium... We pokered with it... So yeah, casino bar. Scratches. Did clean it. LTC prototype #2 - Rhodium plated brass, sterling silver back - lasered with QR code, titanium plating with lasered key - funded with 0.999829 LTC https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ltc/address.dws?MLyjybKk64GwZmKoGe54GaDJ3KnLYQgCZk.htm(Number three has been sent to Charlie Lee with help from a certain miner, don't know if he received it).    Rules:If you win a lot from the BTC bar auction, you automatically enter a raffle for a LTC prototype. The number of the lot you are bidding on, will receive the following raffle spots: 0 - Lot 1 1 - Lot 2 2 - Lot 3 3 - Lot 4 4 - Lot 5 5 - Lot 1 6 - Lot 2 7 - Lot 3 8 - Lot 4 9 - Lot 5 0 - Lot 1 a - Lot 2 b - Lot 3 c - Lot 4 d - Lot 5 e - Next block f - Next block The winner will be determined by block 588,579 - The last character. If e or f wins, the next block will count, if an open slot wins (no bid on a BTC bar lot), the next block will count, etc. Hope we state this raffle and block height prediction correctly, this should be a couple of hours after auction ends. Please correct us if we are wrong on block height. Clay This is super awesome Clay, thanks for your generosity.. Maybe, but we need to sell the BTC bars to continue wherever this is going. Since the raffle ended a couple of hours before the ending of the auction...  We decided to add another (last minute) raffle. Winning Lot for first raffle: 588,579 - 8 - Lot 4 588,580 - c - Lot 4 588,581 - c - Lot 4 588,582 - 7 - Lot 3 588,583 - 4 - Lot 5 Please correct me if I am wrong, seems Lot 5 has won the LTC proto. Sorry for the mess up. Same rules, different block for the new prize: 588,620 Prize: 0.5 OZT Clay Cast LTC tenth. Will be loaded with 0.10 LTC  |

I received the LTC #3 Rhodium bar. Thanks!
Will you make more of these LTC ones or have you made a bunch already?
Hi Mr. Coblee, Yes, we will redo the rhodium plated bars. Think we will replace the sterling plate on the back with a sticker, metallic or hologram. Probably next year though, we want to do the plating ourselves, or at least try. We have also acquired some gems to play around with (bridge of sapphires for example). Will do some small tablets (about 0.5 OZT), one striped bar (about 3.5 OZT) and something bigger (above 250 grams - kilo). Think will end the bar series with the biggest and then move on to something else, more free of the constraints of standard air-tite cases. Thank you and hope the bar fits in your collection. Clay  |

Coin arrived! Love it!  Same here! |

I am very interested in obtaining a bar that is either not funded or has a lower funded amount. If that ever comes available please let me know! thanks
Will happen and will do. |
