How do you know these coins are not going to turn into the very rare "Spotty coins". Only few have been found so far.  |

Any pictures? That will help to attract attention from potential buyers.

While I'm at it, SoG got quite a few mentions today!  |
|
|

Man...... I hope EDS marketing strategy is gonna be alot better than just an article on the Merkle. Not to mention you can't even post it on the main bitcoin sub now that it autobans anything "unrelated" to bitcoin. I also noticed these articles aren't doing anything to broaden the presence of the game. I really hope EDS has something up their sleeve because we've only got 3 more weeks. We should be seeing alot more anticipation and presence. Just saying.
Sounds like you set a date for release already. I would wait for SoG to announce the release when is ready. Yes there is a roadmap and it stated in August there should be a soft launch. But I would rather make sure it is announced with more certainty by the team first. Why adding unnecessary pressure? On the other end there have been articles coming out regularly about SoG not only that specific one on TheMerkle, I try and keep track of them and post them here if and when I see them. And we are talking about dozens of articles since the project was formed, not 1 or two. So I think they are doing well on that front. I believe once there is a download available on the Apple and Google stores things will pick up as well as more articles and news. Nobody (gaming blogs, etc) really wants to publish about a game that is in beta with no way of easily downloading to a smartphone, of course unless you are EA Games. Hence why I think Bitcoin media is the best option right now and where you are more likely to see articles about SoG coming out. Looking forward to the next releases whenever they are, the team has added some great features lately like the level maker which I find quite entertaining. So I try to stay positive and support SoG while I wait for the launch as anyone else without being too inquisitive or critical. I believe the team has got things in hands. |

Bitcoin Block, 2016 N Series:
- 93 Titanium blocks
- 1 Error block, double funding (blocks 418419 and 418427)
Total made: 94
Bitcoin Block, 2015 N Series:
- These were all mined in December of 2015, but saved until now, to make into Bitcoin Blocks
Total made: 16
thanks,
Bobby
I knew there was going to be an error block! Gosh 50BTC + premium on it... Is that going to go up for auction? That will be the most unique block ever made (only one available). But I don't understand how that could have happened as the blocks are not consecutive as in the case of the 1BTC Twin coins. You guys mentioned that the Twins happened because sometimes you mine 2 blocks very quickly one after the other. There are 8 blocks between 418419 and 418427, that wouldn't be so fast right? And how about the 2015 ones? Will they be up for sale soon? Clarifying about the "twins" versus this "error". Both are sort of errors, but the twins case is that consecutive blocks get mined so quickly that some of our mining pool machines didn't get "reset" after we find a block, so they both get inadvertently mined to the same address. However, for this "error" block, what happened was a misconfiguration, where we made a regrettable mistake and actually assigned two jobs, and caused a double funding, to the same address. Since this was our fault, it didn't come in consecutive blocks, and we should not call it "twins" like before. Hope this makes sense! thanks, Bobby Thanks for clarifying Bobby! Sounds like 2016 is going to be very interesting for us collectors and looking forward to what BTCC plans for upcoming releases. I do hope there will also be coins which are loaded with less than 1 BTC so to allow almost everyone who want to get some in. |

What's happening with the error block?
Are the 2015 N blocks going to be sold? (Bars labeled as 2015?)
Also, when are the 12.5 blocks gonna be made/sold?
Ask and you shall receive https://store.btcc.com/products/copy-of-2016-n-series-bitcoin-blockThis one is cheap, only 60BTC And there are 7 of them, but maybe there was a typo in Bobby's comment above as it mentioned there was only 1.

Actually, that link is NOT for the error / double funding. Those are simply sets (a pair) of blocks which are back to back. Still nice to have back to back blocks. So, if you're going to buy 2, you might as well get this since it is the same price as buying 2 random individual blocks. In fact.... if you're going to buy 4, then get the first two sets since it is 4 continuous blocks. So, still looking for the error (double funded) and the 2015 blocks. Ooops you are right, my bad. So there is only 1 "error" block! |

Do you guys remember having the coins in a PVC container before sending to grade?
That would be a good start for the ones of you that have the issue and sent the coins to grade yourselves.

Here's something from ANACS FAQ page: What is PVC residue?
PVC residue is a surface contaminant that may be caused by storing a coin in a soft, pliable vinyl flip. The amount of time a coin needs to reside in a vinyl flip before the PVC film develops will vary significantly, depending on temperature, humidity, the age of the flip, and the type of coin. Under optimal conditions, PVC residue can begin to form in as little as two weeks. At ANACS, we only use Mylar flips. Mylar flips are free of all PVC.
The composition of a coin is a strong factor with the formation of PVC residue.
A gold or platinum coin will be the most resistant, a silver coin is next, and a copper or copper-nickel coin will be the most susceptible. Copper and copper-nickel coins are also highly susceptible to corrosion and/or spotting from excessive moisture and high emperatures. Due to this, collectors need to be extra careful with their choices of storage materials for these coins.
During the manufacturing process for soft vinyl flips, an agent is added to increase pliability. The main reason for this is to allow the flips to be reused without breaking or tearing. This softening agent will migrate out of the plastic over time, and becomes the surface film that is called “PVC Residue.” As this film continues to degrade, it eventually turns into a mild acid, and begins to attack the surface of the coin. Until the film is removed from the coin, it is usually not possible to tell if the coin has been damaged. Additionally, this chemical reaction can continue even if the coin is sealed in an inert plastic holder. This is why ANACS does not encapsulate coins with active PVC contamination.
Recognizing PVC residue is not always easy. When the residue begins to form, it often appears as light milky spots on the coin. PVC residue also appears as streaks or a light haze, and ranges from nearly white to dark green or gray. If the coin has enough contamination, and your sense of smell is good, you will detect an odor that imitates the smell of a new plastic shower curtain. Where some of the Casascius coins shipped in a PVC holder? I don't know because I never bought directly. What if they were stored in there until they got to ANACS and eventually they developed the spots after "enslabment"? |

I see some of the ANACS slabs have some sort of residue around the ring, thought it was glue or something but not sure how they are put together.
So we need a name for this...
Spotty Silvers?

ANACS pop reports just state what they have graded. You can only use them as the maximum number. Big shortfall
I have a 69 error coin. The slab was scratched. So I got them to reslab it. They gave it a new reference number. So the pop report says there are 2, wheresas its the same coin twice. ANACS wont amend the pop report. I have asked them. Luckily I had imaging done on both, so can prove this ...
So even when they do the reslabbing, the pop reprt is inaccurate, let alone if anyone cracks themselves and resubmits
Good to know, thanks for clarifying. |

Thanks for the explanation monkeynuts and Blazed, not that I'm going to crack any slabs right now, but it could be useful one day LOL
So when you crack a ANACS slab which is numbered and registered on the site and makes up the population of a certain coin, that coin will still be on their site as graded even if outside its slab.
Does that mean that the population of them coins is not realistic?
I say this because in some cases certain coins are more valuable and sold at a premium because there's only 10 MS70 or 69, etc...
Or maybe there's 100 x MS 65.
What do you guys think?
