Hi, just to be clear I'm bullish as hell for the next few months but I think it's generally accepted that this bull run will probably come to an end at some point this year.
I'm wondering if people here are planning on getting out of crypto or significantly reducing your stake at some point this year and if so what your plan is and where you are looking at reinvesting your funds?
Bitcoin IS my exit strategy |

Celsius has paid out over $8 million in crypto rewards in november, is it really true?? If yes, I think it is profitable to hold this coins  No doubt that the future of crypto offer interest on your savings (something the traditional banks are failing to do). I am very positive about companies like Celsius, but crypto land is still wild wild west. Are guys sending thousands of dollars to CEL? And let then administrate your private keys? How can you sleep well at night? You simple trust the company or you just have big balls? I would not able to sleep unless I am in full control of my funds/keys. Cheers |

creating your own post might be more helpful than resurrecting a post dead 5 years. I agree. I am locking this thread. @jerrymcdaniel Please create a new [WTS] thread with your sales, if you have trouble making your own thread then send me a PM and I will help you out. Cheers |

Thanks TookDK. Now I'm just wondering how accurate this site is for keeping accurate counts of each item and has anyone tested it to see if say when a coin of any year and version of these Casascius coins gets peeled that the numbers are reflected in the status section of the site? Here would be an example of some of the more rare versions but I'm curious to know if these numbers listed are accurate for all series and years etc... EG... Here on this page.... https://casasciustracker.com/status/If say 2 5 BTC coins (a S1 and a S2 were peeled) and three 10 BTC coins and lets say two 25 BTC coins (a S1 and a S2 were peeled) would it be reflected properly in this section of the tracker? If nobody knows I can try reaching out to Rusbitcoinuser myself and see if he can explain how he set it up etc....Cheers all! iBHK8 In that case I don't belive that https://casasciustracker.com/status/ tracker is entierly acurate. Eg. a "1C" can both be a 1 BTC or 5 BTC coin, obviously it would be easy for a tracker to determine if its a 1 or 5 by looking at the blockchain, in the same way determine their year, however here is where its inacurate, the year it was funded does not necessarily reflect the actually coin production year (that much is certain). I am not even sure its possible to make an acurate database, without some degree of manual work (see prefix explanation below). I am more oldshcool I use: https://casascius.uberbills.com/I have written to Uberbills a few times for error correction, mostly regarding 1 BTC silver/gilt was listed as all-silver, he then corrected it manually in the database. Ultimately the trackers get their info from: https://www.casascius.com/fulllist.txt61,560 addresses are listed.
The first 11,000 belong to series 1 coins with inkjetted holograms with the "CASACIUS" error.
The next 1,000 addresses belong to series 2 coins with windowed holograms.
The next 17,000 addresses also belong to series 2 coins, but also start with a prefix that
suggests how the address might be used.
1C is used in 1BTC, 5BTC coins. Many were also given away with "roll-your-own" coins.
1G is used in gold-plated items including bars and 25BTC coins.
1Au is used for fine gold coins.
1Ag is used for fine silver coins.
The next 9,900 addresses (prefix 12) are for 2013 0.5 BTC coins.
The third character is one of these 33 characters: 123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ.
There are exactly 300 addresses with each unique third character (33*300=9900)
Production of 0.5BTC coins starts from the beginning of the set (121, 122, 123, etc.)
If the entire set is exhausted, will use 13Z, 13Y, 13X etc as available.
The next 9,900 addresses (prefix 13) are for 2013 1 BTC coins.
The third character is one of these 33 characters: 123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ.
There are exactly 300 addresses with each unique third character (33*300=9900)
Production of 1BTC coins starts from the beginning of the set (131, 132, 133, etc.)
If the entire set is exhausted, will use 12Z, 12Y, 12X etc as available.
The next 12,760 addresses (prefix 1Ag) are for 2013 fine silver coins.
The fourth character is one of any of the 58 characters legal in a Bitcoin address.
There are exactly 220 addresses with each unique fourth character (58*220=12760).
Production of 1BTC coins starts from the beginning of the set (1Ag1, 1Ag2, 1Ag3, etc.)
Production of 0.5BTC coins starts from "a" (1Aga, 1Agb, 1Agc, etc.)
Production of 0.1BTC coins starts in reverse from "z" (1Agz, 1Agy, 1Agx, etc.)
If lowercase set near exhausted, may resume 0.5BTC coins from "Z" (1AgZ, 1AgY, etc.)

Anyone know why does this say 2012 on Mel's site if this is indeed a 2011 S2 and not a 2012 S2 coin? https://casasciustracker.com/?search=1CA3biiWAnyone have any ideas? Also has anyone monitored the Casascius Tracking site to see if coins when redeemed get updated to reflect that many less available once some are peeled? Another way of putting it is can we be sure this site is very accurate and as upto date as possible? Would love to know just for the community's sake as this is a great tool but I want to confirm it's accurate etc,.... iBHK8 I would guess that its because it was funded in 2012. Funding was in block 189 493 which was a 2012 block. There are many examples on this, the actually year of production was not always the same as the funding date. Another example is the Cas 2013 "late funded" these bad boys was funded in 2016. Here is the message from mike for the people interested in historic documents: https://pastebin.com/7cyQEd1n |

So these are 2011 coins, but not error coins, so Series II, is that correct? ( Ie Casascius is spelt Casascius and not Casacius on the hologram)
Correct They are actually more rare than the error coins, only 1644 was produced. However, OP starting price is very optimistic in the current market (no matter who win the election). |

UpdateThe scam page: https://bitcoinmixer.orgis now finally closed down. That is both good and bad. I expect they will re-launch under new logo/brand/webpage. I learned my lession, please dont make the same mistake as me, follow the advice from LoyceV. I checked the site, and it doesn't offer a Letter of Guarantee. That should be reason enough not to use them. I know only one mixer that has a good reason not to give a LoG (because they give you private keys), any other mixer should provide one. Unlike a signed message, screenshots can never be conclusive evidence. I've seen this scam before, and because of the lack of LoG, they can create a smoke screen about phishing. If they'd be honest, they could have prevented any fake scam accusations by providing for a LoG. But they didn't. They copied the 4 step design from ChipMixer. Quoting myself: Others have mentioned it already, but you really need a Letter of Guarantee signed from a Bitcoin address mentioned on your site and archived here on Bitcointalk. That's the only thing someone could use to prove foul play without any doubt. I'm pretty sure selective scamming was the plan from the start. I'm considering a neutral warning on any new mixer without LoG from now on. Have a good day out there, and remember to HODL.

I'm using the bitcoinmixer.org for a long time because they have the lowest minimum transaction to be mix and right now I'm getting shocked because the minimum deposit must be 0.0044 BTC and the funds I already sent are 0.001864 only and now I experience this. https://i.imgur.com/L6Jc0R4.jpgAt the start, I think it looks like a scam now because I don't have enough funds to make an additional deposit but BTC is BTC so I borrow some money just to complete this transaction. I'm glad I got my BTC. It should probably be the last time you use them or else you will be the next victim. You were lucky because you mixed small amounts of BTC. OP I insist you report the domain for fraud giving details of how you were scammed. Smartmixer.io pulled off the same scam tactic, the domain was reported and it was taken down Well if you insist... PM send. |

Sad to see this OP, I hope the 2.6BTC wasn’t a lot of your stash. There's nothing you can do except help to try & ruin their reputation so they can’t keep doing it to other people.
I will be OK, thank you  however I would rather have donated this money to charity than to some scammer. Can you start a flag against them?
Go to their profile, click trust, click add flag, then follow the steps for a type 3 flag ——>
Make sure you provide the link to this thread as evidence. Let us know when you’ve done it so we can support tye flag.
I have supported your flag - thanks! However, it looks like they have abandoned their account in May 2020, so it will probably make little difference.
Thanks to TheCoinrise.com, for removing another article that promoted the scam site bitcoinmixer.org |

Great job! Thanks for the support. Why did you jump with that amount?  As I also wrote, I did 0.5's with no issues so I did not expect to get scammed, I had a larger amount to mix so it would go too slow with very small batches. Looking back I am just happy I did not loose more. What can I say, we all make mistakes - its how we learn from them and how we move on in life that counts. I have accepted my loss However this thread will be kept alive as long as scam site bitcoinmixer.org is operating. |

I tried using this website for small amount of transactions and I didn't encounter issues or any problem.
But I guess when it comes to big transactions like this there are so many problems that you encounter, Maybe because of its a good opportunity to scam since its a big amount. I'm not going to use this mixer again.
Yep, I did maybe 40-50 small transaction this year on the scam page bitcoinmixer.org - with no problems! I even mixed 0.5 BTC without any problem. After I mixed 0.5 I really started to trust them - its a clever scam. Money is lost - but if I can save others from loosing money to them, then will I be happy, so happy to hear you will not use them again Yes looking back it was stupid to mix 2.6 in one go - I was actually about to mix a larger amount, but then I decided to divide it up - at least I was happy about that decision Also: Shoutout to TheCoinrise.com They had an article about bitcoin mixers where the scam page bitcoinmixer.org was mentioned, they removed them from the article after I made them aware they are scammers, good to see some responsibility. |

We have another mixer scam to the list:
bitcoinmixer.org is a SCAM
Reference Link: bitcoinmixer.org
Amount Scammed: 2.6 BTC
Payment Method: Bitcoin
What happened:
I have been in bitcoin since 2012, I have gone through the first 8 years without getting scammed. Last week did my luck ran out.
bitcoinmixer.org was running a campaign last year on bitcointalk, since then have I used the service for small amounts.
I have always supported new bitcoin startups, bitcoinmixer.org seams like nice project since i believe mixers is much needed in the future due to nature of the bitcoin design.
Unfortunately is bitcoinmixer.org a long haul scam, he has used 6-7 month to build up reputation, through online articles and campaigns.
All made to catch a user that one day will send a large amount of BTC through their mixer.
They certainly build up my trust, since they have been reliable for last 7 month for me.
This is how they scam:
If you send smaller amounts through the mixer, then everything works normally, the coins are mixed without problem.
I have e.e mixed up to 0.5 BTC without any problems.
HOWEVER, if you send larger amounts, then is the money stolen from you.
Its simply build into the algorithm to steal deposit over a certain amount, I don't know exactly the limit, but its between 0.5 and 2.6 BTC.
It is difficult to legally prove that they stole the bitcoins unless you can have access to their server source code.
They use a clever trick where they alter the mix information AFTER the deposit is confirmed.
When you look up the deposit address using the mix id, then is the deposit address correctly shown.
However as soon as your deposit is confirmed, then is the deposit address changed, so it looks like you never deposited any funds.
The money you deposited is then later moved to another address, and you will never see them again.
The "support team" is close to impossible to get in touch with and if you do get them, you will get a standard reply:
Dear customer,
we took a look at the mix. Currently there is no deposit yet. From what you describe you might have visited a site that poses as our service. Please make sure that you always visit the correct site at
btcmixnqyq7kljrr.onion or bitcoinmixer.org
You might also want to check if your system has been compromised.
Best regards, Bitcoinmixer
This is not a man-in-the-middle attack, since a hacker would never be able to know what mix that will have large amounts, since the deposit information based on the mix id is changed at large deposits AFTER they are confirmed.
In my case did I of cause check the SSL connection, and I did a "small" transfer just before (0.5 BTC), to make sure I was not being fished. I must admit, I did expect this algorithm, it pretty clever,
the behavior of mixer depend on the deposit size. Its clever since there is not much sense in stealing the small amounts.
Nevertheless, I have accepted this loss, life goes on.
I just sincerely hope that no one else will get scammed
The only thing I really regret is that bitcoin is still wild-wild-west, like we haven't evolved much since 2012, that is sad...
I have decided not to post the evidence, since bitcoinmixer.org is fully ninja anyway, there is zero percent chance of catching him.
Obviously I have all the evidence saved; address, screenshots etc.
But I see no reason to have my sensitive bitcoin addresses to be public for nothing.
So you just have to trust me on this one, I have no reason to lie or spread false accusations, I am 100% sure this is a scam.
Please spread the word when you have a chance that bitcoinmixer.org is a scam.
Thank you.
