Heya Mopar, just wanna buy a set for the beautiful design. Thanks for the info🤗...will take a look at their Webpage next week...stay safe buddy
No problem - if you need any assistance in ordering, let me know! |

is it possible to re-machine that surface maybe only going .0001 deeper on the cut to remove the epoxy/glass? This bodes well to show that once assembled not a simple matter to take it apart and then reassemble.
Yes that definitely sounds like it would work. The problem with that is I had the metal pieces made by a manufacturer so I don’t personally have the CNC to re-machine them. Appreciate the input. Ahh ok |

Hey Pinky, ah ok...thought they are up for sale. Got an invitation code in summer for #85 but that looked scammy to me as i should hold back 0.0181 Btc for the notes.
Just looking for a standard set for 49 $
If anyone wanna part one let me know
Cheers Humble
As a note they only make you pay the 49 - the other amount is the load value - which they do not require you to pay. The table above were for those that joined the group buy to select their numbers Should still be available to order directly as well. Having received over 30 sets personally, I would think they are safe. |

I of course want one for my collection!

This is only the second time we have ever had any discussion and the first time on the forums outside of me asking about the coins you sold a while back. So not sure where your “joy” comes from. They are not generic - size and window aside, they are copies of cas holograms. Most likely made by the same vendor selling the cas fakes. You specifically told me that you get paid far over the coins regular value (I am taking about market value not some bargain value) to make rebuilt coins - even boasting I still have the original keys/hologram. believe it or not people pay me a lot more to build safe keys for them. not everyone is a collector of redeemed pieces. it's useless to them. so they would rather purchase it rebuilt on a original. Caribbean Treasures are on most pieces out there now. Casascius, lealana, Titan, denarium. most are cryptobugs holos or the newer ones
Stating you bring “pieces back to life for thousands of people” and that you educate them how to protect themselves. If they want to use a cas or lealana and understand the significance of those pieces and still want to use them, you should educate them on how to generate their own keys so they could save thousands vs overpaying you for a coin you didn't make using a copied hologram or plain simple using someone else's hologram - essentially a coin you put zero to little effort in doing. In all seriousness, I hope you put more effort into your key generation - and that you didn’t cut corners there like you did with the holos. I’ll stop here but if anyone asks about your coins, I am going to be clear they should steer far far away from them. For their wallets - fiat and Bitcoin - sake. |

Wow that stabbed ICG piece is a great example to have. Do you know anyone who has an examples for sale thats slabbed?
The CryptoBugs and Caribbean Treasures holograms are obviously different and are not fake or replicas. The artwork is inspired by Casascius for sure. As all physical crypto pieces are. 😄 If you'd like better photos just ask.
The CryptoBugs pieces is 23mm and was made to teach other "Crypto Bugs" how to build their own physical crypto coins. It is generic so any crypto wallet builder can use it to fund the DIY Mary Ola silver wallets. You can build Btc, eth, Ltc, xmr, xrp, DASH, Doge....ect. up to 11 different varieties. They are all listed on the backside of the silver round. Very rare pieces. Some of the alts are only funded once or twice. You can tell which ones have been built by manufacturer by matching serial number on hologram with "CT" hand stamp. All others. Are DIY built.
The Caribbean Treasures holograms are 26mm and will be used for rebuilds. The public key will be easily seen in the transparent window as a qr code. These aren't sold to the public.
I would not call them generic in any means in that they are specifically modeled after the cas holo - the sizes and the wording may be different but it is neither generic or original. As you have made several that copy the cas holo - are you the one responsible for the fake cas holos or do you know who is? I know you have a tendency to use other coinmaker's holograms on coins and then selling the coins with huge premiums. Not sure if the makers of the coins would appreciate their holograms, designed for their coins and with their names on them are being used to sell knock offs - sorry "rebuilds". Have you ever thought to make your own original hologram vs copying/using others? Having been the head of your local numismatic group, I am amazed that you would not find this to actually be detrimental to the numismatic value of the coins. Perhaps the chance of high profits selling to people who have no clue that they are being ripped off is too great. |

my set of 20 arrived this week without any damage. thanks again to yogg and Coldkey for the cool edition now it's time to unpack, load each card with 0.001, take a picture and add it to my collection - the cards will then go into the Coldkey folder   nice! I have a full set on the way as well. |

I diversified my storages. But I would be sending from a exchange… just a small ammount, then I want you to return it so I can see what the tx; looks like… I suppose I could see the same thing when I transfer funds between my own accounts but I’m learning about that and like I said I’m paying for someone’s knowledge.
gotcha most exchanges wont actually have a "wallet" for each user, the funds just dump into their hot wallet and somewhere a ledger is updated to shows who has what balance. |

Also, if you want to try the lightning network (Strike) if you use a referral, I think you get $5 for free and the person who referred you gets $5 as well. If you want to use my referral, I will send you back $2.50 to demo how it works, this gets you $7.50 for free (which you can convert to BTC). I have done this approach with a lot of people locally, as I love Jack Maller's enthusiasm. https://strike.me/PM me if you want my referral link, as stated, I would gladly give you 1/2 of my referral back as a demo. Welcome to the forum. strike is great as it allows for FIAT/BTC and LN payments. |

The proper formalities of buying with btc.
Recently I learned where to find the tx# when I send a transaction. I want to see what it looks like when some one sends it to me.
I think all the people with full level member and above have paid their dues to get that ranking… I’m just paying my dues in silver that has a little bit of bitcoin in it to learn a little more.
Mopar that’s post 4
odd way to do so. are you using a hw wallet or an exchange account? if an exchange account good luck at properly tracking that. Also, if an exchange account, I would recommend getting it off and using a cold storage wallet for majority of funds and a hw hot wallet (properly backed up) for usable funds. |

Mopar that’s post 3! Check your e mail I tan out of pm
thank you, yes I got your email. one question - you state you want to send funds to someone and then to have them send back so as to "see how it all works" what are you trying to see? how to send pymts/receive pymts? are you talking using on-chain BTC or LN ? Is an escrow address acceptable? Yes it is a great community here and your early enough where you can still get your hands on the greatest collectables the earth has ever seen. good luck
to address cryptogreatdanes point it could always be sent to one of the escrows/reshippers here as well. |

It is a nice offering of a coin - I found them too expensive to personally buy one but I did like the way they looked even if not the way they chose to load it or the denomination they chose.

True. But they still need to be made aware and to be informed. As you stated they are often not knowledgable enough - they really should hire authenticators who have the knowledge - either way there are multiple moving parts and it hasn’t been weeks since they came in hand. It was weeks ago when they were seen but were never sent to us until very recently.

I don’t think Mike owes anybody anything. They were cheaply made coins in the beginning which are now worth a great deal so common sense should point towards fakes being available at some point. What concerns me now is that apparently people are aware of fakes being made widely available but are sitting on the “details” for weeks. I’d be very careful of buying Casascius coins at the moment, especially from alt accounts of the effected users…
I still haven’t seen any real info about this recent threat, so what should Mike even post? As far as I’m aware the alibaba fakes are distinguishable from the originals. Has this changed? Why delay on providing info? Something smells fishy to me.
No one is sitting on the details for weeks - they are being compared to actual coins, details being written up, shared with grading houses, samples being slabbed in order to be shared. It is all being brought together to be properly presented. |
