Hi,

Need guidance on redeeming a Casascius coin for BTC and other forked coins.  This is what I understand:

1.   I can import the mini private key directly into my Electrum wallet using the import/sweep function.

2.   I then move the BTC to a new secure Electrum wallet so that the mini private key can be used to redeem the BCH, BCG and SBTC.

What is the best/safest way to redeem the other forked coins after redeeming and moving the BTC?

Thanks

Will do, thanks.

Considering I have already been contacted by a non-UK member willing to use a UK Escrow that they know and trust to meet me and complete the transaction on their behalf and then ship the coins - clearly you are the idiot. 

7btc for both 5btc and 1btc coins. 

Escrow now an option providing the Escrow is UK based and a transaction can be completed in person with the Escrow.

Ok, for a reasonably intelligent person I feel pretty dumb right now.

Firstly I get my main BTC stash stolen from an encrypted wallet.  Still to this day can’t figure out how it was done.  BTW, I’m a very security conscious individual having previously worked in the IT industry.

So then I mine more BTC and almost 2 BTC worth of altcoins.  Multiple wallets were becoming unmanageable and with the recent theft from my Armory wallet the smart move was to transfer it all to an exchange (Cryptsy) and just leave it to appreciate in value.  Yup, that was smart. 

Then, on a public forum I offer Casascius coins for less than peel value.  In my defence I had no idea they held more than just BTC! 

cptdome1, vizique - thank you.

I need to understand the escrow process in more detail as it sounds like a possible option.  Any offers to assist with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you to all that messaged me.  With respect I need to withdraw the 6.6btc offer.  As mentioned above I wasn’t aware of the additional BCH value these coins held.

I know very little about escrow but I get the impression it is far from completely safe.  I had most of my BTC stolen from an Armory wallet at the end of 2013.  Then had BTC and huge amounts of altcoins that I mined lost through Cryptsy.  I didn't find out until well after it has closed and 1 month after the lawsuit deadline 

A few physical coins is all I have left and for my own sanity I cannot afford to lose them through a failure in the escrow process. 

I am willing to let them go for 6.6 BTC for a face to face transaction if that helps with transportation costs.

I have been offered 7btc from a USA buyer.  However, I am nervous about something going wrong along the way.  Therefore, I will consider a little less for a face-to-trace transaction.

May be able to offer reasonable deal for UK seller. 

Much appreciated.

Thank you.  I was thinking the same.  I have already been offered 7 btc for both within minutes of me putting them up for sale.  However, they cost me 7.2 btc when I purchased them new from a Casascius reseller.  They are also in excellent condition.

Would a mod be able to move the thread to the collectables section?

Thanks

Thanks,

I have 1 x 5BTC and 1 x 1BTC 2012 loaded Casascius coins  originally purchased from official reseller David Bailey at www.hardbtc.org  4.5 years ago.  I also have the original receipt from David.  I haven’t had them graded but they are in great, unhandled condition.
