Nice set of stamps there! What is the current market value of the set without the red?
Good question. I used opensea to set the prize. Blue sell for ~0.5 ETH, Yellow between 1.2 and 2.0 ETH. Green and black a little under half each. I think my ticket prize would be fair, especially with a 3-set for 2nd. Open for suggetions, though. |

Any estimates as to the value of a red OCS stamp, since there are only three that exist? I heard that the OCS stamps will have a different physical appearance from the other 149,500 crypto stamps. A "1 of 3" stamp from the Austrian Post Office should be super valuable, no?
Where did you get the info that this stamp will have a different appearance? Not what I heard, but then again, some of the info from the Austrian post offices were totally wrong, so maybe same here. Do you own all three? - I heard they were all bought by one person, lol. If you want to know the value, put it in auction and roll the advertisement roll for it so interested people will bid. Good luck.  My personal guess for value would be in the 1.5 - 4 BTC range. Possibly more. Have fun.  Regarding the physical stamps I got some additional info: They are oversold. Meaning the Austrian post didn't keep proper track of their stock and sold more stamps online thaAn they can deliver. Now they are sending out emails to big buyers to tell them they cannot fulfill their whole order. |

Capitulation?
Not sure. Was the 20k Polo buy whale dumped into? If so, that's pretty capitulatey...  It was indeed. And I am now 26.6k XMR richer. This is the lowest btc ratio since 2016. I'm seeing a lot of comments these days about how "it's different this time". No, it's not different. The smart money knows this and is picking up altcoins now and going forward from people who believe such thing. There will be a new rally for altcoins once again and it will catch a lot of people by surprise. Monero has had tremendous technological progression and adoption over the last few years. "but fundamentals". None of that matters here. The main reason for this price drop was obviously the bear market and bitcoins recovery, however, something unexpected occurred after breaking 0.01 and that was massive margin liquidations. People who believe so strongly in monero that they'd leveraged up beyond reason were sadly getting crushed. The price went far lower than they expected and they were forced to let their coins go at the worst possible time. I think we may be in, or entering capitulation at this stage. When the price was far higher I estimated a "worst-case" target to be ~0.007. Therefore I started buying at ~0.01 and decided to go in quite significantly around these levels we are now. I don't try to time exact bottoms, that is a fool's game and impossible at the scale I operate on anyway. There is still a risk that a continued bitcoin rally could put further pressure on altcoins. But what we're seeing here is unprecedented and the upside is now far greater. So from a risk/reward perspective, while the price could drop fruther, I think betting on further downside now is a bet with very high risk of missing out. If I've learned anything from more than half a decade trading alts, it's that when the market turns, it turns quickly. If I'm not positioned by then, I won't have time to. There is something different this time though. I've always been a bitcoin holder. That is, I hold majority of my funds in bitcoin, rarely going below 70%. Not this time. I have decided to follow my own altcoin prediction to the fullest and increase my altcoin share significantly. In fact, I am, as of today more than 80% in altcoins and ready to increase that further. Monero just became my second largest holding. I haven't owned this much monero since during the xmrbtc rally in 2016. Exciting times ahead. Or horrible misery Thanks for sharing. We are generally on the same page here. I am curious though, how do are your thoughts on Mimblewimble, the first implementations (most importantly GRIN) and the chance, that MW might get implemented on Bitcoin. <- Definitly high hurdles for that happening, but assuming it will happen, how do you see XMR - does it still have a usecase? Thinking about filling my bags of XMR, too. Just curious on what a self-proclaimed XMR whale has to say to the "threat" of other real-privacy/fungibility cryptos emerging. |

From the the pictures, I didn't realize how big they were.. But I have to tell you, this is just amazing piece of work...
Haha, yes they are big. Will post some pictures soon, they perform exceptionally well in glass displays. UPDATEFunds verification now possible via the MoonBits Github: https://github.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/blob/master/Monero/2019.mdIn plain text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LIMXTEC/MoonBits/master/Monero/2019.mdNow, there are several ways to do the verfication: A) The easiest one is to use the open-source tool here and enter all three parameters (public address of your card, view-key for that wallet and the transaction id that was used to fund it): http://xmrtests.llcoins.net/checktx.htmlHowever the backend seems to be down quite often unfortunatelly, so the method not always works. You would need to retry a few hours or days later, if there is no result after clicking the CHECK box. B) Using Moneros GUI wallet ( https://github.com/monero-project/monero-gui/releases) you can create a view-only wallet via the command line. Please refere to this tutorial: https://www.monero.how/how-to-verify-your-monero-funds-with-a-private-view-keyIn order to claim your funds, you need the private spend key, that is located - in QR and in plain text - below the hologram. Since the priv spend key is deterministic, *all* other keys can be generated from it. A) Please follow these instructions to generate a wallet using GUI-client: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/4570/i-have-a-private-key-for-a-monero-address-which-application-lets-me-load-in-a-cOr use this guide: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/8750/restoring-wallet-from-keys-fileB) You can also use this tool, to generate the seed and then simply import it to a wallet supporting a 256 bit XMR seed: https://xmr.llcoins.net/addresstests.htmlWill add this info to OP soon. |

Auction for the first ever funded XMR giftcard has started.
Place your bid for one of the low numbered cards #1 through 10 (from 128 total): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5160950.0 
 With current low XMR prices this is a steal. Personally I would be very suprised to see Monero below 0.01 BTC for too long. In the mid/long term I see it more in the 1/50th to 1/20th price range of Bitcoin. The reason is simple: A need for a fungible and truely private crypto will increase with adoption and awareness.

You should consider auctioning this on Ebay. Prices on there are insane!
Thanks TheNewAnon135246. Yes, starting bid is way below ebay prices right now. But giving the collectible community a chance to get this full set for a fair price and also working as a feeler on how the current inside-market appreciates these sets is our intention. Also please note: This is a quick auction, ending within a little over 72 hours! |
