Hello,

Up for sale are five (5) 2013 1-BTC Casascius Bitcoins.

These are the brass coins.  They have never been touched by hands and have been kept in a safe and undisturbed since receiving them from Casascius.  They have not been played with, dropped, or anything like that -- these went straight from the mail to my safe.

Price: 1.4 BTC each, or 7 BTC buys all five.  Price includes shipping.

I'm open to reasonable offers.

Come get 'em!

Still available!

No, each post intended to add extra clarity.  For example, do you think "Bitcoin will die" is a comprehensive answer to the question, "What will happen if there are no min[e]rs in the network?"  For beginners, some additional clarity might be appreciated.

What's your excuse?

That's how they getcha

Edit:  Thank god the high score isn't on level 3!

First try.  Maybe I should bet next time?

I can see it now:
1) Consensus leads to mBTC preference over BTC
2) Alt-coin pump-and-dump fanatics realize that the minimum lowest purchase price on any exchange is now 0.00000001 mBTC instead of 0.00000001 BTC
3) Every new alt-coin has >quintillion coin total supply

1) You know you've received Bitcoins if your balance in your wallet increases.  Any Bitcoin wallet software will indicate your balance and provide you with a history of your transaction record.  I'm not really sure what else you meant by this question.  If you check your transaction record, you will know if you received (or sent) bitcoins or not.  It's really not any different than looking at your bank statements to know if and when you've received a deposit.

2) Miners act as a lubricant for the Bitcoin payment network.  Miners are required to confirm and process transactions.  If you remove all miners, you completely halt the network.  That is why miners receive a subsidy (i.e. block rewards) for their efforts; the subsidy provides an incentive for miners to keep mining, and this ensures that the network is able to continue processing transactions.

That could be.  I was under the impression that a few GMs, like Magnus, can still routinely beat (as white) or draw (as black) against even the best engines (and I'm aware that engines today are much stronger than even Deep Blue).

Two main problems with online chess gambling:

1) Anyone who isn't playing a game under 1-2 minutes will be cheating.
2) Beginners who don't cheat won't gamble.

Basically, chess gambling is best suited for grandmasters who can routinely beat any chess engine around (this constitutes a *very* small percentage of players).  Every other game is just going to be a "who has the best chess engine?" contest.

To some extent, yes, many trades were made before the trust system was implemented, but I've also had several successful, recent trades that aren't reflected in my trust rating.  I just haven't been diligent about requesting that the buyers leave feedback.

That upper end of the range you stated sounds realistic.  I'm sure deals have been made at 1.1 BTC, though I'm not prepared to sell at that price, especially for coins that are in such good condition as these.

If you don't trust me, don't buy.  If you're interested but don't trust me, I can provide rep.

If you trust me and just want a fast, smooth exchange, then that is what I'm offering.

Fair enough.  I won't discourage escrow, and I also encourage newbies to use escrow.  

It's one of those things where you say to yourself "But I know I'm honest!" and you want things to be as convenient as possible.  That is why reputation is so valuable -- if your rep is strong enough you can demand convenience through up-front payment.

You'd find that I'm consistent in pushing for up-front payment in my sales threads.  The reasoning is simple -- I have zero risk of getting scammed.  I don't like transacting when I feel at risk, and if this puts off a potential buyer, that's fine, I understand.

I can go back and start quoting feedback if I need to.   I'm not a business or anything close to it, but I've sold GPUs, ASICs, gemstones, exchanged virtual currencies, and otherwise.  The majority of those sales were without escrow wherein I received payment up front -- I've heard no complaints.  Even the terms of my escrow sales included up front payment (e.g. some now, some later). Edit: John K. could vouch for this.

The whole point of having an account for years, making thousands of posts, contributing to the community by working, exchanging, and facilitating the dialogue within it, etc. is to establish credibility.  Despite a few controversial posts, I'm squeaky clean, and my sales feedback is flawless.  Maybe if I went back and coerced everyone I transacted with to bump up the plus count in my trust rating, it'd be as cool as yours.

Are you high? 

Do you have a form of collateral that can't be charged back?

That's fine with me  May I ask where you're pulling the quote from?  I definitely believe you, but I'm just curious.

Edit:  I'm aware it's a higher premium than what I've seen, though this offer may appeal to those who want a smooth transaction with a reputable member, good communication, a worry- and hassel-free experience, or who may want more than one at a time.  In any case, the price is reflective of my reluctance to let these go for cheap as I have little doubt their premiums will only continue to rise.  Your opinion may be different.

I offer 1.3 BTC for the Saturn.

My advice:  Take the 4 BTC and run with it.  You could turn around and buy 4 brand new Antminers and get 800 gh/s with warranty coverage.
