If I order a second silver round, can I get one with a silver hologram to go with my gold one...or do you have a bunch of prestickered silver/gold combos you need to move first? Are you going to use silver stickers on the 5btc coins?

A few other points:
These are proof struck.
Very deep field.
Slightly thicker and smaller diameter than an American Eagle 1 oz silver coin.
Reeded edge
It's not a copy of the 25 BTC coin scaled down.
The binary inscription is different.

This is probably the hardest struck coin i have.

Anyone who thinks vladimir's idea is a bad one must realize that of he doesn't do it, someone will. In fact, if no one try's hard to build powerful rigs, that is equivalent to bitcoin not being valuable (otherwise people would do hard things like design ASIC chips and assemble mining farms and companies to earn valuable bitcoins).

I think it is a good thing for bitcoin that people are treating them as valuable enough to work hard to mine them in a professional manner. Everyone should try to do what Vladimir is doing, instead of saying no one should work that hard to earn bitcoins (and hence implying that bitcoins aren't valuable enough to work really hard for).

I think this means bitcoin is moving from hobby to capitalism.

Why does the expiration mean on the front of the card? You don't take back the bitcoins if left unused for a certain period of time....right?

I got my silver bitcoin today...I couldn't resist opening it up and playing with it.  Might have to order another one to keep all nice and shiny looking.  Does anybody know if the silver bitcoin has a different message encoded in binary on the back than the 25 BTC coin?
1326  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A bit of nostalgia... How did you get your first Bitcoin? on: March 31, 2012, 03:01:28 AM
CPU mined a few hundred on my laptop July 2010 in a few days....I heard about bitcoin via slashdot....difficulty shot up real quick and I forgot about bitcoin for about a year.  Luckily I didn't loose them.

I got one Smiley. I keep it next to my computer so the hologram glitters whenever I look at it Cheesy.

Nice shots!

Call it my savings account

I'd call that a piggy bank since you have to smash it to get the money out.

I like that idea!

I rarely venture over to this board, but I guess I should have sooner. Anyhow, I recently ordered one of the 10 BTC silver coins and I'm very eagerly awaiting it's arival. Anyone have these in hand? What do you think of it? I think they look really cool.

 I'm a bit of a coin nerd and my 25BTC coin is my favorite to keep in my pocket. The binary inscription on the reverse is brilliant. I might need to buy a second one to break out of the case and carry around...it might be my new favorite pocket coin (and I've got lots).

I've got one of these heading my way...as a coin nerd, I'm quite excited. I have one of the 25 BTC coins and it's my favorite coin to carry around. Very cleverly designed binary inscription on the reverse too!

Anyone have one in hand already?
1331  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: User appeal and denomination on: February 23, 2012, 02:28:06 AM
It is already possible to set the denomination to mBTC (1/1000) or even μBTC (1/1000000) in the Satoshi client, if you like large numbers better than small fractions.


In my head I had been calling μBTC "Mikes" and mBTC "Millies". I think this slang terminology was discussed here elsewhere. I also internally called 5 Satoshis (base units) a little bitnickel...10 Satoshis a little bitdime , etc while calling 0.05, 0.10, 0.25 BTC a big bitnickel, big bitdime, etc...I guess medium versions for Millies could be considered too (ie 0.25 mBTC being a millie bitquarter).

Great time to use your Casascius coins....or bitbills...
1333  Economy / Collectibles / Re: The 25 BTC CASASCIUS PHYSICAL BITCOIN is here! on: February 19, 2012, 02:53:39 AM
I got my 25 BTC coin today...wow...as a hobbyist coin collector, I must say, this one was pressed with gusto...it's more like a mini 3D sculpture than a plain coin...the relief (in numismatic terms) is ultra high. It feels great in the hand...as does the gold plated bar!

Well done again, casascius!

This one?



Lol...I generated 200 BTC in one night on a laptop...back before there even was mining. That method didn't work very long, thanks to slashdot.

This is a shared address anyone could just take coins away from...

Perhaps a silly idea, but, if I created a vanity address like 1lockercomb....and funded it with 0.12027016, would I always be able to see that transaction? What if I took the BTC off the address? Will the transaction always be in the block chain?

I had my locker combination in a note on my phone, but somehow lost it...it would be nice if something more permanent could keep track of this kinda stuff for me Smiley
