Sorry for being late everyone. The group buy is now closed for new participants. The payment address can be found in the OP and I will NOT be sending out PM's with a payment address. The quoted BTC amount is 2% higher than it should be to have a buffer against possible price changes. Leftovers will be returned as always.

IMPORTANT: If you want your coins funded, be sure to increase the statement amount by 0,25BTC for each coin that you want to be funded and be sure to mention it to miffman and me.

Just so everyone is on the same page, I'm gonna be sending the coins to Mitchell and he will send it to you ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (That is if you accept this last change before you close the group buy ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ) I would accept the change if I knew what Poloherb meant with: " add set #4 funded coins". According to your thread Miffman, number #4 is reserved for an auction and does not belong to Poloherb. I have changed #45 to an unfunded coin and will close this group buy as soon as I know what Poloherb meant.

Correct me if I'm missing something here, but a lot of this isn't adding up. According to the link provided by proton for the draw, the winning book number is #13.. Now.. How do we know who has book 13 if buyers have not received their counter party tokens? Edit: How is this "Provably Fair"? #13? How did you get #13? This is the result I got from the the script: { 'block height': 420000, hash': '000000000000000002cce816c0ab2c5c269cb081896b7dcb34b8422d6b74ffa1', book number': 3291 } The picking is fair (not sure if it's provably fair) as it uses a blockchain hash which cannot be known until it exists. As the random function always uses the same seed, the first number will always be the same (allowing us to verify the result). I just ran the script three times to proof this:
![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FngTKudK.jpg&t=663&c=-gkvOBmnlKHbFw) This is my (very very slightly edited script): var request = require('request'); var RNG = require('rng-js'); var blockNumber = 420000; request({ url : 'https://bitcoin.toshi.io/api/v0/blocks/' + blockNumber, method : 'GET', }, function (error, response, body) { if (response.statusCode == '404') { console.log({ "block height" : "block 420,000 is not yet available", "block hash" : "please check in the future", "winning book number" : "n/a" }); } else { if (error) { console.log('Error sending message: ', error); } else if (response.body.error) { console.log('Error: ', response.body.error); } else { var blockInfo = JSON.parse(response.body); var rng = new RNG(blockInfo.hash); console.log({ "block height" : blockNumber, "block hash" : blockInfo.hash, "winning book number" : rng.random(1, 5000) }); } } });

Okay, everything has been updated and should be correct. Thanks for the help everyone, it really saves me a lot of time.
|
|

Is there any update about the shipment?
Nope. I recently asked about an update and got the same answer as before. They'll ship somewhere in July.
|
|
|
Ah, shit. I need one as it is slightly different than the two I have.

Hello HCP,
Thank you for helping me! I'll check your pastebin link when I get off work and update the OP!

No, that's not accurate, because it is a seeded PRNG. If the code called rng.random multiple times after initialization it would give new numbers, but reinitializing it and running it will get the same sequence of numbers. By only showing the first number, we always get the same result.
You can test that code with the hash from block 419,000 and you should get number "610" every time, which was the whole point of showing the code, since we don't know what the hash for 420,000 will be, but can't be manipulated, then we can be confident in this outcome.
This is using node.js with "express" and "request" modules Ah yes, of course. I'll try out the code in a bit just to be sure.The spreadsheet associates all addresses with a book number (by row), so this is indistinguishable for your request. I haven't posted the spreadsheet yet as I haven't gotten addresses from everyone. Purchasers should be able to see their own address via their browsers "find" function. All the addresses will receive counterparty tokens and the winning address holder will also get the gold bar shipped to them.
That does not answer my question, so I'm asking you again, what happens when the winning number is a number of a book that hasn't been sold. I know what you are going to do, but if a book isn't sold have nowhere to ship the bar to as nobody can claim it.
EDIT: I just tried out the code and it does indeed output 610.

I've got my shirt today and the material feels great. Thanks! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Wait. won't "rng.random(1, 5000)" generate a new number on each and every request? If so you could just keep making calls to the site until you have a result you like and show us that or in other words this isn't provably fair.
Also, did you sell all 5000 books? If not, what happens if the winner is a book that hasn't been sold yet?

Hello everyone, Miffman released his own coin so I'm doing another group buy! Same terms and shipping costs as last time. You all should know the drill by now. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Pictures of the new coins
Prices
Please look at miffman's thread for the latest prices. Shipping from miffman to me is a fixed $50. Shipping The Netherlands: €8.15 Rest of Europe: €11.50 Both are Registered mail with Track & Trace included. Extra costs
- We need to pay VAT to import the BitPiece's into The Netherlands, which is the largest extra cost we have (we do not have to pay import costs).
- The disbursement fee of the used postal service (UPS charges €11.25, PostNL €13, EMS €17,50, etc.).
- The bubblewrapped envelopes
Terms
- The group buy won't happen if not at least 5 coins are ordered.
- The group buy will be closed, for new participants, when we hit 50 coins or on the 10th of July.
- Once the group buy is closed for new participants the final price will be determined and split between the participants.
- Any BTC that is left over (because the package wasn't checked, the BTC value went up, etc) will be evenly distributed between the participants.
- If we are somehow short of BTC, I'll cover it up front. The amount of BTC will be evenly distributed between participants. Your package won't be sent if you don't pay your part of the debt. If you don't pay at all, your BitPiece will be auctioned off to cover the cost and any leftovers are kept.
- Terms can be changed at any moment, so please keep track of them (important announcement will be posted in the thread).
