Congrats, Gazeta! With all that was going on with Ledger recently I find it very refreshing to see a different HW up for free raffle.
Thanks again to UniJoin for this opportunity and please keep 'em coming. 

1 available slot for me please
and 1 each for
- Krogoth

(full Forum names will be provided if any of these win)

Should be 10x in total. Payment coming up. Thanks.

Update: payment sent.

Ahh, I missed the auction end. Wasn't paying attention to the block height.

Very cool, I think updating the pics already helped a lot. Your stuff looks really good. Keep it up, and maybe another auction.
Need to find a convenient app or tool to notify if a certain block-height is hit, though. Anyone got a suggestion?

Nice to see another raffle for a quality HW wallet.

There are a few important qualities to a good mixer. The obvious ones include anonymity of user-data.
However I'd say one of the maybe overlooked ones is ease-of-use and adoption.
Ideally you can easily access the mixer within a wallet with just a few clicks. This increases the number of mixed BTC - if everyone would use a mixer, all coins would be equal again. Ofc this would also need low fees - which would be possible of volume is high enough.
Just my 2 sats. Thanks.

Reminds me, wasn't there someone that stole a few thousand BTC a litttle less than a decade ago from Primedice that way? Fuzzy memory, but I thought they read-out the current output of "random" numbers and with this information were able to determine the seed that was used to generate these numbers. With the seed they could then predict the upcoming outputs from the RNG.

Also, aren't there Hardware-RNGs - Pokerstars for example claims/claimed to have one in use to "shuffle" their virtual cards. I think it uses radioactive decay to create this kind of true randomness.

Edit, did a little research, seems they use a LASER beam - my guess is it's actually a quantum effect, nothing to do with radioactive decay. (?)
Not too much real info here, but still entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DkHzOUzDjc

BUMP.

Would possibly also be up to trade against a redeemed cas coin with hologram.
If you got any and willing to trade, please send me a DM.

Thanks for the update(s). Shame no addresses found, these coins ARE unique and so well designed.
Any chance to reduce starting bid?
Just aying, around the 0.01 mark I'd most likely throw in a bid.

Interesting / unique coin design for sure. As kid my favourite kind of coins where these (Chinese?) Yen coins with "mysterious" symbols and a hole in the middle.


I was wondering about the production process, not too suprised production costs were so high with lots of trial and error. This one's not within my budget range for a new coin.

Lot 6: 0.0014
Lot 7: 0.0014

"coin number unknow" - have you checked the sides of the coins? Not sure if I recall correctly but I thought these did have marking.
Or perhaps MrMojoRising has any additional info on these?

Okay great, hope we can roll this week.
Been checkign solo-chance on and off, there were some really good opportunites popping up in between - with a little luck we catch one of these phases.

Hop on in folks, just 3x spots with 0.005 buyin needed to get us rolling!

Wow, that's some fantastic effort to collect all the different designs from Kialara. Great work, Hox! Should check the coin wiki more often.
I have given up on the graphics idea because the provided photos are so different in angle and size/quality, it's a lot of effort for a not very congruent result. I think the page you created is already enough anyways.

2. 0.0165

Thanks

I like both ideas. 0.001 funding seems collector friendly and still amounts to quite a bit for the rug-pull coin. Also I'd prefer to chop the funds, one winner coin and the rest with a minimal loading amount remaining, gotta agree there with Krogoth and 2stout.


Just because that's the "whole point" for you does not mean it's the whole point for everyone.
Never read "coins must be peeled to determine a winner".

What I do care about is a coin that plays with the scam terminilogy, ideally in different ways (references in design, as well as the loading aspect). However I don't care what everyone does with their coins. Imho you can hodl for 30 years and peel then or peel right away.
Actually I think it's even more fun if everyone decides by themselves. If for example 1/3 of collectors peel and don't find they are the winner, it also becomes more enticing for the remaining to peel. Could be some interesting dynamic.

Haha, I thought something like that would happen. But I mean a 10% loss shouldn't be too bad (not sure about breathing the air, though). Still would love to see some silver.

Oh, just after finishing typing I see Krogoth just pretty much wrote down what I am thinking. : )

Anyway, great work and please continue.

Lot 6, 7: 0.001 each

Okay now! These look amazing, great work! Is this technique also possible with precious metals?
Could imagine it vaporizes too much of the material in the process or some other factors not making clean cuts possible.

Also interested on what's gonna happen with the other coins.
Gosh, the detail and "strength" of these coins is just something new!

Well, ofc you cannot know if the private key correctly corresponds with the public key (QR code on coin) - however there are no known cases of this not being the case.
So you could just scan the QR code and enter the displayed public address into a Bitcoin block explorer, for example: https://blockchair.com/
You would see if there are still "spendable output(s)" available with your balance or if these are swiped. If the explorer cannot find the address it means it was never loaded and thus cannot be found on the blockchain.
All that said, for now I believe there are no known issues with private-key Titan bits.

Yeah, I see where you are coming from, but I stick to my previous post given the sum of "hick-ups" that occured.
As someone said before, it might just be a rogue employee or whatever that compromised a whole project. Not saying it is indeed compromised, but there are some signs that I will not ignore this time. Maybe just oversensitive.

Here is the original thread regarding the swept 2014 eagle: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5231305.msg54367281#msg54367281

If I read it correctly that's not what happened, indeed the funds were swiped twice, once before holo peel and once after refunded. (?)

I own a few bulls and one eagle (first edition, not this new rip-off bs one).
And as much as I hate to speak ill on collectibles that I like (optics / quality), everything that's been going on with coins from their mint leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe 8 months ago I would have been more relaxed or just figured it was all explainable by some tiny mistakes / inexperience etc.
But with all that's happened this year (yogg, Titan, Betnomi...), it's another project with a bunch of red-flags - I myself and I believe quite a few fellow collectors here have the tendency to ignore these or try to "rationalize" things until it's too late.

tldr: Will stay away from these, too much fishiness going on, haven't decided what to do with the coins in my possesion, probably hodl and pray for now.
