There probably won't be any companies that do it. Go to the collectibles section and pick up something that's already funded from a private individual. Write to your congressman to get it changed.

It's a big and lonely ocean out there.

Kwukduck, whoever he is, may have timed his prediction wrong, but he is not wrong to think the price will go down, and every day that it keeps skyrocketing he becomes more correct.

Nah. There's healthy scepticism and then there's sheer delusion or flat out comedy, I can't decide what's what with that particular poster.

Our success. I never saw it coming. Undecided

You seem like a lost and bewildered soul at present. I think it's time you did something life changing like sailing to Polynesia on a raft made of inflated condoms. Fill half of them with drinking water and astronaut paste and you'll return with a boatload of perspective.

Are you sure you've exhausted every conceivable option with your dead HDD? Once you take it to a professional level they can do stuff no one else can.

Natives, Schmatives.

I get your point though, you're saying that the terrorists have Islamic roots.

Perhaps the UK should have been more restrictive on its immigration policy 50 years ago...

But don't forget that if that were the case, we probably wouldn't have the NHS, which benefited hugely from Pakistani and Indian immigrants in the 70s and 80s.

if our country wasn't able to get these qualified, immigrant nurses and doctors, we probably wouldn't have a free health service right now.

Until 1962 I believe every single member of the Commonwealth had the right to live and work in the UK. That would've added up to about 800 million people which would've been a squeeze.

The Daily Mail has now gone full retard - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4578716/Apologists-terror-Corbyn-McDonnell-Abbott.html

Judging by the comments even White Van Man is tiring a little now, or it's been invaded by Momentum.

That would be awesome,so in hindsight you are sitting on top of a gold mine and if so why dont you go for auction,i think you will grab a very good price too,there is no way the owner would have forecasted these sort of price being fetched for his coins and design. Smiley

I plan to keep it for all eternity. And it's not a big denomination coin. I've kept the Casascius business card and mailing label for posterity anyway. At the very least it's one of the very last he sent out.

It's possible they'll become more and more valuable or fade away in the general consciousness. I'm curious to see which it'll be.
11488  Economy / Collectibles / Re: 1BTC Casascius bitcoin sells for $7100 on: June 06, 2017, 10:10:54 PM
It is good to hear that you are holding some coins but is it safe to say that those private keys are secure,i can understand the sentimental value of these coins but selling one bitcoin Casacius bitcoin for $7100 is just crazy because if i remember correctly it was revealed during defcon that it is susceptible to physical attack as they showed how to reveal the keys without revealing any tampering signs,i am not sure whether they made any changes after that,just commenting because of the crazy rate it got sold. Smiley

Got them a long time ago, and one direct from Casascius one week before he shut himself down.

What is a more relevant question is how durable the holograms, printing and glue holding the hologram down is. I wonder whether he foresaw whether they would become so valuable.
11489  Economy / Speculation / Re: Where is kwukduck? on: June 06, 2017, 09:15:20 PM
Its easy to put skeptical people down in good times but we need them to keep us on our toes especially if they have a good point. I'm a dreamer myself but sometimes my dreams need a counterweight.  

There's reasoned, and then there's completely unreactive to real world events no matter what they are which is what he is. Bitcoin could be one billion dollars and literally suckling on his phallus and he'd be coming out with the same old stuff. Whatever gets you through the day I suppose.

Let us assume that he's trying to buy your coins for lower but it's the most pathetic attempt at mind games I've ever seen.
11490  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 06, 2017, 07:52:42 PM
Who is he?

I'm sure the Koreans, Chinese, Mrs Watanabes and everyone else have vast respect for this man who neither mines nor probably has any.
11491  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet on: June 06, 2017, 07:38:36 PM
I haven't upgraded to this ad version, but if something is forced or I wipe the phone and have to download the new version what other mobile wallets can I directly import the Mycelium seed into?

Copay doesn't seem to have anywhere near the same functionality I'm used to. Anything else?
11492  Bitcoin / Mycelium / Re: Mycelium Bitcoin Wallet on: June 06, 2017, 07:33:14 PM
I love the "we gotta pay for stuff" excuse... wtf happened to all the money from the crowdsale? Huh

I've read that large amounts of that sum have been eaten by unexpected legal costs. That could of course be a fudge, but I looked at it when it was proposed and well and truly couldn't figure out what was in it for me. Rather sad that an operation with so much good will ballsed it up.
11493  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Large Casascius Coins on: June 06, 2017, 07:18:11 PM
Does anyone here monitor the wider numanistic world?

Have any of these coins crossed their radar or is it still a hopeless obscurity as far as they're concerned?

If I did have a funded 1000 BTC coin or bar I've no idea what I'd do with it.

11494  Economy / Collectibles / Re: 1BTC Casascius bitcoin sells for $7100 on: June 06, 2017, 07:15:04 PM
That's pretty crazy. I really need to get my hands on one of those before it goes even higher lol.

Get yours here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0

Premiums in Bitcoin have been falling recently, but look to be picking up. I really can't see them holding up if the dollar price goes seriously high.
11495  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: gyft.com is nuts on: June 06, 2017, 07:06:30 PM
I use giftoff.com and have never had a problem with it. A couple of times it did take longer than the Bitpay window to confirm but I got the gift card all the same.
11496  Economy / Collectibles / Re: 1BTC Casascius bitcoin sells for $7100 on: June 06, 2017, 06:53:42 PM
It is also the physical representation of Bitcoin that everyone knows, I think there are special gold and silver minted ones as well.

Yes. I have a couple of silver ones. Prettier but never latched on to by the media in the same way. As you say, this is what many people associate with Bitcoin rightly or wrongly. They were launched to increase its visibility. It certainly worked.
11497  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 06, 2017, 06:27:54 PM
Why is nobody panicking here yet?  Embarrassed Is this the real crash then? The one you dont expect?

The 2013 kids no longer have any emotions left to bugger with. They sit back and watch the chart with their autistic gape.
11498  Economy / Collectibles / Re: 1BTC Casascius bitcoin sells for $7100 on: June 06, 2017, 06:25:43 PM
I believe its because the type of metal is a valuable one which makes it much more valuable than its face value

Er, no. It was made out of brass by a car wash token company.

The value comes from the rarity, though it actually isn't that rare compared to other ones. It was the first though and many will have been abused as they were worth about $20-30 when new.
11499  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How many bitcoins do you think Roger Ver currently held? on: June 06, 2017, 01:00:07 AM
He bought several hundred thousand when it was in the dollar range. As he was a millionaire long before he discovered BTC that can't have been much of a stretch.

I've no idea how many might be left but surely it's substantial. As he seems to have invested in almost every Bitcoin company in history, and none probably make a cent, it must be rather depleted. I suppose he's waiting to sell his stakes.

The last I read the big Chinese exchanges allowing withdrawals are restricting them to ten Bitcoins a day, with a million dollars a year limit. What's the maximum a whale's business account is allowed withdraw from poloniex and bittrex if he's done maximum KYC with notarised documents, etc?

I couldn't found out what their maximums are. If they are like the Chinese exchanges then a huge amount of coins will be effectively frozen. It could result in a mega pump.

I assume if you're that big a deal you made yourself known back in the day. The Poloniex limit is purely arbitrary. Perhaps if you pay them enough they'll let you pull out the lot. I would not risk it myself.
