I also asked darkstar questions, everyone is talking except darkstar

let the man give an answer, if he takes 10 seconds, this problem is solved
It may be a language difference/barrier thing but you did not ask a question. You demanded things of DarkStar_. It is common for someone not to reply when another person does this, it creates extreme hostility from the start and is often followed by more drama.

Also "snitches get stitches" is the most likely scenario that leads back to your local board if DarkStar_ is to give you a name.

To be honest to me it was more proof that he couldn't do what he was claiming. As far as I recall the intricate design was already done and it just showed him butchering the coin with a hand tool. A lot of people called him out on it so that's probably another reason he took the video down. I'm surprised he posted it at all for numerous reasons really.

Here's a collection of the better screen grabs from the video:






The completed coin was never seen as far as I know.

Thanks for your detailed insight hilariousetc.. i'll answer what I know.

teeGUMES, do they all come with the 'certificates'? Are they numbered at all?

The buyer will receive a CoA (certificate of authenticity) from me usually within 1-2 weeks of receiving the artwork. As many of you who have bought my art already know, i use Bitcoin technology and Vanity addresses on my CoA's and it can take up to 2 weeks to generate the desired result.

Each of the 10 coins i make for the 2015 year will have a different design, and if you would like to request something special for your own coin design or a special denomination you may feel free to contact me and i can make sure that 1 of the 9 remaining is designed with you in mind.

Please feel free to ask any questions below, and if your board and just browsing the web, take a minute to check out my other Bitcoin artworks.

Though he claims each coin came with a CoA I only ever had it mentioned to me by one of the owners. I received pictures but once the package came the card was not included with the coin / CoA.
Edited: Going through a box of my paper collectibles I did find this CoA.



One of the last items I received was one of the three bitcoin BTC's that WoodCollector had made "Culture Cultivation" and I received a CoA with it.



The quality of the printing job match fairly well so I can assume the first picture was indeed the CoA for the coin. These were done with a home printer and signed off "Bruce Wayne". Although more of these would be nice to have for provenance sake even some of my biggest critics admit:
Not like he had to leave his house and scour the countryside, there was a digital trail to each buyer and Bitcoin wasn't always expensive.
I also can confirm that these coins weren't just premade and ready to ship. Coin 5 had the Hand of Fatima placed on it as a direct request from the original buyer. The coins themselves are not physically numbered, only in the way they are listed in WoodCollector's quote in OP.


He probably took it down himself. It proved more that he didn't or couldn't make these pieced by hand by what he showed (or didn't). I remember watching that video and really wishing someone made a copy of it. It gave away a lot of information about where he lived or at least where he worked on his woodcarving because if I remember correctly it showed him coming out of his house and walking to his garage or something like that and I think you could see the street and possibly the front of his house/drive. I tracked down one of his previous addresses back in the day. Can't remember exactly how I did it but he'd posted pictures of some of his works with a lot of the interior and they were matched to a online house listing. Think his name is out there as well and last time someone contacted me about him there was some evidence that he might have died in a car accident or something but I guess that's assuming we had the right name/person.
Regarding the YouTube video I did watch it back then without realizing the importance it would mean to me now. I do remember thinking that it didn't prove or disprove anything and I just disregarded it at the time. I believe he took it down himself for his own safety. It was brought to my attention some time in 2018 / 2019 when I was purchasing the wooden Scam Busted piece that there was a crackteam of forum members tracking WoodCollector through all the public information he was posting and everything else they could gather. I saw pictures of his supposed house and was given other links to very personal information. Along with the Culture Cultivation piece and the CoA I posted earlier I received the full packing slip dox of WoodCollector. The member that sent it had made it public but I asked him to take it down, though this wasn't the first time I had seen the same dox. I decided against my own investigation into the name on the packing slip but one day I probably will be bored and see what I can find.

I'd post a list like this too if I were too much of a coward to pull a Lauda and post and regularly bump my trust list. Four of the DT1 on this list distrust nutildah, let's see who this rallies in LoyceV's next trust list dump. If you weren't just a basic bitch nutildah you'd actually dig in further and see who provided the 10 merit needed to enable CH/TOAA/ToD to be able to have a meaningful vote. Chop chop bud. Probably a few names that you'd be a little bit more scared to make a post about.. I can see why you chose this route.

You're completely missing the point. Whatever you think nutildah's motivation is - this shit is stupid.

Voting with alts should not be allowed. At the very least users who want to have trust lists on their alt accounts should ask theymos to have those accounts to be blacklisted from voting. The trust system allows you to vote for each DT1 candidate once. Bypassing that restriction with multiple accounts should not be allowed.
That's great and I agree. You can't deny that posting names of a large bunch of us that are labelled as "on the other side" is a good way to get this across. What I'm saying without throwing mud at nutildah is that merit is too freely given (even though some of their early posts are meritable) which should be the focus that the 10 merit minimum should be increased. This way a respectable member can merit a respectable post without accidentally giving this power to an alt when they are found out in the future.

Some people are really gullible.  Woodcollector was a scammer.  There's no hidden treasure.  Enjoy your "hand carved" slabs of wood.
Its too bad Hellot resorted to a passive aggressive personal attack rather than share his experience in the matter.

Hellot was around in the earlier days while the "hand carved" vs "laser engraved" drama was all going on. A quick review shows Hellot actually watched WoodCollector's supposed "proof of hand carving" YouTube video which was posted and then taken down (supposedly from WoodCollector's YouTube account being mass reported and suspended). Of course this video caused all sorts of further controversy and people were still split for or against WoodCollector. This also led to the start of WoodCollector's many alt accounts coming out in support of himself.

The thread linked has different factions championing for both real and fraud and it gets pretty heated throughout the 28 pages.. I actually didn't have the thread linked in my OP and its also a really great read.

I'd also like to add to anyone reading, my focus here is on the collection of these pieces and the preservation of one of the more dramatic pieces of bitcointalk's Collectible history. As shown in Hellot's reply we still have people with firsthand experience popping in and out, each having played a different part in this whole thing. If it weren't for both the naysayers and the believers these pieces wouldn't be nearly as collectible as they are now. I could give two shits if the treasure is real. The story is interesting, the coins are beautiful, and I'm happy with where I'm at right now in the tale. I'm not sure if I've ever taken a stance for or against WoodCollector himself yet, I'll have to review my own posts to see.. from memory the only thing I can think I've ever posted on the matter was that I am a 5% 5% 90% split with real/fake/curious.

Personal attack aside thank you for coming into the thread and reminding me about the WoodCollector YouTube video Hellot.

One year anniversary from my reveal post. Five year anniversary from WoodCollector's final post.
I decided to update the story in OP and fill in some more details. (WARNING - long read and probably filled with horrible grammar/paragraph breaks)
Original OP story Archived


Also a small update with this post:
Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

First well done on getting 9!

I own number 10, i used to own Unity and the Black Swan... I was on this forum a lot many years ago - lost the email now - I also have some other smaller coin that he sent me thats somewhere in my house here.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2223623.0

PM me - I was sent #10 as an apology believe it or not in 2016 out of the blue, if i get into my previous account here i have a load of interesting PMs with WoodCollector.

I live in Asia and #10 named, 'Lagniappe' is in my deposit safe in UK (where previous were shipped from when i sold them) - its a 100 BTC on the front and purple wood (not sure name) - very shiny. Not sure but i also remember it being bigger than the other 2.

I will be in UK on 19/2 so gladly send you some photos soon.

Wow - to find this thread as well, i just popped in to see if he was still around! Has smoothie seen this thread Smiley ??


We are nearing two months since he has last logged in. I haven't received a reply of any sorts back from him but if it is indeed the original ukcrypto I believe he may be in one of the more widespread Covid-19 affected areas of the world and I wish the best health for them and their family.

A vaccine has been found and is currently 100% effective. The OP lists the uninfected. Current block is 623989. We will start rolling on block 623991 until we have a winner. Last two digits of the hash, if the number is not taken we move left one number until we find a winner. If no winner is found in that block before the 00000000000 then we move to the next block same rules.
231  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Collectibles Board QUARANTINE Free Raffle on: April 01, 2020, 08:46:22 PM
iasenko 98.. please...
... taking that pill now... I'll be fine a few hours Smiley

Somebody has to make a list of all those taken slots... show all + Ctrl F throws too many hits in minutes and seconds . Hope 98 is free.
The list in OP is current and updated consistently. Infection = you're out.

From OP:
If you become infected you are removed and your spot becomes open again.

LOL at the forum trolls (foxpup, suchmoon, ibminer, etc) being so sensitive to an April fools joke which also has some educational value. Some people can only see things as negative no matter the intent or value. It is them that are the true virus to this community.
Imagine how fun the company christmas party is
233  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Collectibles Board QUARANTINE Free Raffle on: April 01, 2020, 06:11:06 PM
Randoms don't work here wheelz. You're also now sandwiched by two infected. Good luck.
234  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Collectibles Board QUARANTINE Free Raffle on: April 01, 2020, 05:22:15 PM
0 - SatsLife please
0 will only count with the hash rule if it happens before the 000000000. Good luck.
235  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Collectibles Board QUARANTINE Free Raffle on: April 01, 2020, 04:39:20 PM
Looks like 22 is taken so let’s try #93 I don’t know think I saw anyone get that one. Chibi told me about this 🙏🙏🙏
Your name fills spot 22. Are you unsure about your forum name? An alt perhaps? Its alright for this raffle as the virus does not care who you are. You do have to suffer with possibly being infected by my quote. Good luck.
236  Economy / Collectibles / Re: Collectibles Board QUARANTINE Free Raffle on: April 01, 2020, 02:01:07 PM
If i stay uninfected I get to buy myself another one to add to the six I already have.
Also, I'm unsure how long this will go and what the effects of a vaccine introduced by theymos later in the day will be and how it will act. At the time of me noticing names becoming uninfected I will freeze the list and a draw will be made regardless of being full. If there is no winner from the last two digits we'll move left one digit through the hash and that will be our winner and so on. Ex. 00000000000000000003026e9079514eafe5ed774b588e7c492279d82ded699d (current block) if no 99 then the next winner would be 69, then 26 and so on until we have a winner.
