Hello,

First of all we would like to apologize for the delay in response regarding this matter.

Your coin is original and it is not a fake, and you can check this by entering the address on this service: https://goochain.net
It allows to verify the address even by the first 5-6 symbols. You can try to enter these symbols and you will see the full address.

In the process of Sol Noctis development this service -  https://blockchain.info - also offered such option, so we took a decision to show 32 symbols. It was made for the reasons of appropriate design and symmetry of the coin, as otherwise the symbols would be smaller.

Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,
Yuliya

Welcome to the group buy ct1aic. Because of you, the coins will be shipped for free to me.

Greetings, Mitchełł and thanks for opening this Group Buy.

I want the following, if possible:

• 1 x 2015 Kialara: $99 (Silver balls).
• 1 x 2015 Kialara: $99 (Ceramic balls).
• 1 x 2015 1BTC Kialara: $199.

Well, first off you can find them for around $80 USD, which is cheaper than 80 euro. The high price tag compared to its precious metal content and Bitcoin value is due to several reasons:

-The coin has a total mintage of only 2009 coins. Low mintage coin runs like that cost Much more to mint than typical runs of bullion rounds where 500,000+ coins are minted.
-The costs to design the artwork for the coin, and to manufacture the 2 dies needed to mint it are factored in.
-The costs for the 2009 ounces of Silver, and the total 20.09 Bitcoins funded within all of the coins.
-The costs to design and manufacture the custom, tamper-evident security hologram are factored in.
-This coin is a Proof coin, which adds to the costs. Compared to standard "business" strikes, Proof-struck coins take a lot more time and effort to manufacture, and usually after each single coin is struck, the 2 dies are hand-polished to assure its Proof quality isn't flawed.
-Then there is the time needed to securely generate the private keys and assemble each coin with its hologram.
-Also it comes with a COA and custom case I believe, which adds to the costs.
-Lastly, on top of all of that some must be added onto the costs so that a profit can be made, and the manufacturer didn't do all this work for nothing.

Sorry for getting a bit wordy and off-topic there, but I just wanted to try and explain why sometimes coins like these are priced higher than what people think they should be. This was also discussed recently in the Silver Wallets thread and explained by Blazedout419 nicely: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=983211.msg10835977#msg10835977

This coin is now SOLD to user ct1aic and the OP has been updated to reflect that! He is a friendly guy and has also bought a couple of my coins on eBay as well, I was more than happy to sell him this coin.

Great to see you making another group buy. For those who have any doubts (although there should be any) the last one I participated was extreme to easy and smooth. Mitchell organised everything to the last detail and there were no issues whatsoever. He's a great and reputable guy!

I'm thinking about the 2015 edition but I'm in two minds... I really need to stop buying coins...

hi, Camolist. How can I buy one or 2 funded casascius coins?

Re Bitin.co

 

Unfortunately, this is a fake exchange. It is run form russia, so it will be virtually impossible to get your funds back.

It is already in our badlist and has been there since 11th March 2015.

I would advise that you send a complaint to your local Financial Conduct authority.

 

Some advice for now though.

Never ever use PayPal and Bitcoin together – there are so many scams that use PayPal in the bitcoin world. We warn against doing this, and we try to warn as many people as possible about these scamsites.

Please check with us before you send or invest Btc that the site is legitimate. If it isn’t already in our badlist, we will check the site for you – absolutely free of charge. It’s what we do. We are trying hard to stop these scamsites, but there are about 20-30 sites a week appearing, so we can’t take them all down, but we can add them to our directory at least.

 

Regards – ViK

Project Lead.
