Because the coins are still being minted I have the ability to engrave your name instead of a serial number onto the coin. This is the only set being sold, no more than 4 of these will ever exist (one will be owned by me). Giving you the opportunity to own a unique and personal set of these shiny coins.

You are bidding in order to have your name/message of one word engraved onto one set containing a plain silver, a partly gold plated and a fully gold plated coin, winning bid does NOT include the purchase price of 0.75 BTC (including funding) of the coins. Each coin can have a different word. More information about the coin can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1746500.0

Starting bid: 0.00 BTC
Bid increments: 0.01 BTC
Ending time: 13th January 2017, 6pm GMT (default forum time)

The reason for an early auction like this is that the mint needs to know what exactly to engrave as soon as possible.

Don't miss the opportunity to have your own customized coin set! I do not encourage sales of these personal sets, it should be something special only owned by you.

The coins will be assembled and shipped out in February.

1.35 BTC

Thanks, reserved one is being auctioned for charity right now.

I put you up for one #13 partly plated

Thanks bithalo for the heads up

The auction has been posted here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1747693.0

Because of all the mess that was going on with my reservation thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1747532.0 TMAN actually decided to let go of one of his fully gold plated one go as a charity auction.

100% of the auctioned money will be going to the charity organization of the winner's wish. Tracked worldwide shipping will be provided by me.

To read more about this coin go here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1746500.0

Starting time: NOW
Starting bid: 0.3 BTC
Bid increments: 0.01 BTC
End time: 14th of January 2017 18:00 GMT (default forum time)
Anti sniping rule: The auction will end if no bids were made in 15 minutes after the last bid.

The coins will be shipped out in February. The payment should be sent to either me or an escrow, who will release the bitcoins to the charity of your wish. Only confirmed charities that accept bitcoin please.

Thank you very much! I really like this idea, gonna put up an auction for that goldie soon

Regarding the forgotten limit:
I am VERY sorry of what happened. It was totally my fault for not stating that in the first place. My intention of this idea was to distribute these to as many of possible. The reservation of the next coin of the series will be organized better and there will definitely be a limit.
TMAN: I would really appreciate it if you would at least let one or two of your reservations to go in order for others to have a full set.
Tman I also apologize for getting the whole fire on you although it was my fault...

It was a huge mess after all.

I'm sorry for the limit. But forgot to mention that in the OP.

Reservations starts now!

You will be reserving the "Segments" Coin. More information can be found here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1746500.0
There is no payment needed until the coins are ready to be shipped. You are just reserving a coin with serial number of your wish.

Dont worry if you didn't get to reserve one. Set #1 will be auctioned, set #2 will be raffled.
There will be an auction for a custom engraved unique coin set, so look out
Set 1 and 2 have been reserved due to recent issues. No sets/coins will be auctioned or raffled off, reserving is the only way to buy one.

Note that every purchase comes with a DIY token, details are soon to be announced.

Just to clear confusions:
Each coin will have a XX/25 serial number, but the full gold plated will have a XX/10 serial number, making it extremely rare.

All prices include the funding amount and shipping.
Glad the design came over so well

They will all come with a transparent acrylic stand to show off.


The box will look like this with a Xerola logo:


Op updated to have a little more structure. Thanks again Mitchell!

Thanks for the heads up guys!  
Mitchell is currently working on a new thread design, thanks alot for that!

After almost half a year of work, I'm glad to announce my first coin. The first coin of the X-Series will have the iconic "X" as the main design element along with segmented "spikes" representing the rise and drop of bitcoin. A one of a kind coin in the market.

There will be many more variations of this series to come.

---

Specifications

---

• 1 troy ounce 0.999 silver
• 40mm diameter
• Preloaded with 0.1 Bitcoins(only the full golden one)

These coins will come in the following three variants:

• Plain silver - only 25 serial numbered for sale

• Partly 24k gold plated - only 25 serial numbered for sale

• Full 24k gold plated - only 10 serial numbered for sale

---

Pricing

---

• Plain silver: 0.1BTC
• Full 24k gold plated: 0.2BTC

All prices include funding. ONLY the full gold variant will be funded, the other two will only come preassembled.

---

Shipping

---

• EU: Free (tracked)
• US: Free (untracked)

Tracked shipment to the US will cost an additional 0.02 BTC. Other shipping couriers or wishes can be discussed individually.

---

Vanity addresses

---

All the coins will be delivered with a vanity address which is generated according to type and serial number. If you have a coin that has a "0" as serial number it will be replaced with a "o", because of character restrictions.

Some examples:

• The silver coin with the serial #1 from the first X-Series will start with "1X1Ago1"
• The silver coin with the serial #10 from the first X-Series will start with "1X1Ag1o"
• The silver coin with the serial #22 from the first X-Series will start with "1X1Ag22"
• The partly gold plated coin with the serial #22 from the first X-Series will start with "1X1GP22"
• The full gold plated coin with the serial #10 from the first X-Series will start with "1X1Au10"

These addresses will be generated using a fully offline and custom Linux USB drive, then encrypted and exported to an old mac, which will be formatted and used solely for printing these keys through a laser printer. All of this will be done fully offline. The USB will be destroyed upon successful export (burned?). These printed keys will be sprayed with an "Aerospray" to ensure that the keys will be readable after centuries.

Delivery schedule

---

These coins are currently being minted, so please keep this in mind. I expect to be able to ship to everyone by the end of February, but this is an estimate. This thread will be updated accordingly along with pictures of the coins final version and a picture of the created holograms.

---

Extras

---

A FREE DIY token will come along each coin purchase! I'll create a separate thread for those. All coins will come in an airtite capsule and will be enclosed in a small Xerola box. By request the box can be replaced with a velvet pouch.



Acrylic Stand

---

 
You can buy these acrylic stands at a surcharge of 0.01BTC each.

#1 will be auctioned off as a set, #2 will be raffled. 3-25/10 will be available to reserve. One custom engraved set will also be for auction soon.
Reservations can be made in this thread: [RESERVE NOW] Xerola X-Series "Segments" | Numbers 3-25 / 3-10

I won't only release coins, unique secret projects are going on, expect to see something you've never seen before.

Sorry, I haven't looked through those submissions yet. Will look through them and update again.

Edit:
You seem like to be only one that submitted a serious design via PM. Updated my list.

Shipping in a bubble envelope without tracking would probably be around 0.01 BTC. I'll need to see if the post office takes such packaging as a parcel or letter. Otherwise, if you don't mind an opened roll: I could spread 25 chips in a c4 sized letter and send it with tracking + priority for 0.015BTC.

Update:
The post office doesn't take such dimensions as a letter - bubble envelope. Shipping would be 0.03 BTC for the whole roll.

0.005BTC

Welt that's only one of the boxes I've received

As I have directly ordered a batch of chips from satori and I won't need all of them, I decided to let a few go (200). These are "mint" condition and directly from satori. They come preloaded with 0.001 BTC.

Pricing:
1 Chip: 0.01BTC
5 or more: 0.008BTC each
25(a roll) or more: 0.006BTC each
100 or more: 0.005BTC each

Untracked shipping is included in the EU. Tracked shipping would cost another 0.01 BTC, other shipping options are also available upon request.
Shipping to the US can be discussed accordingly. As long as the shipment is capable of shipping in a letter, untracked shipping would be included to the US, tracked+priority would cost 0.01 BTC more.

Yeah, I specifically stated that on OP, but somehow only a few noticed that...

To everyone else:
Thanks again for participating! Really good and high quality designs, very well done! Although you didn't win the 0.5BTC, you won a place in my heart - along with a soon to be released brass token
