Any more shares in sight ?
How can we help get this order off the ground ?

hi Gabriel,
could you, please, confirm the premium on gold coins to be 20% over spot (and availability)?
thanks, mila

Youre playing with fire if this is located anywhere in US jurisdiction which your domain indicates is a possibility. The story of the Liberty Dollar is a long and sad tale. I guess their biggest mistake was calling it a "dollar".

I hope you avoid this outcome of course.

so how was the purity test? do you still sell them and would you ship to EU?
thanks and sorry for the post if you're out of business eventually.
I just bookmarked you back then and did not like your design.
things changed in a sense that I collected some other silver rounds with a bitcoin logo on it and would like to buy some of yours as well.

By the way, I have been thinking about how you guys will generate private keys if you are making Casascius Coins.

I would offer pre-printed private keys, but I don't want there to be any chance where there is any ambiguity as to whether or not I have kept a copy of them.  It doesn't bother me for my own coins - since if there any compromises, there's no doubt the blame is on me.  But I wouldn't be comfortable with a scenario where if I sold private keys to someone and they were compromised by the buyer, that 50% of the suspicion would be upon me.

So... here's a random proposal.  I offer to sell full service private key generation at a cost of 5 to 15 cents per private key (depending on the quantity, but should be in the thousands or tens-of-thousands).

This would be on the condition that someone come here to Salt Lake City and spend a whole day here and assist with and witness the production of the key circles from start to finish, and be willing to swear a notarized statement that they supervised the whole run and that there's no chance I kept your keys.  The service would include laser cutting to absolutely any size of your choice - a task that is a pain in the ass if you have to do tens of thousands of them by hand with a hole punch.  I would also personally verify that there existed no more than one copy of each key, and that they all properly corresponded from front to back.

We'd begin by formatting a brand new computer (a bare motherboard plugged into a monitor and hard drive) to generate the keys offline, and in the end, we'd zero the drive, and/or physically disassemble and destroy the hard drive.  Full source to the key generator would be compiled on the spot, you'll keep a copy of the source.

Any interest in this?  What does a short trip to Salt Lake City weigh, in comparison to the prospect of generating your own private keys and the concern for accuracy?

It looks like if you had your own laser etcher that matched what the printing company does (and if it can be done to the final product and not exclusively as a mid-production step), you would be making the area transparent, not printing on it. Not good for private keys.
