Hi,
so alright, lets delve into this...

As for the price, I agree it seems steep, but that's pointless debate - you can try to sell for whatever price you want, I have no problem with that.

Now - what you are doing is selling a normal commemorative coin PLUS 0,0002 BTC. There is simply NO connection between those two.
Coin itself has no public address, no private key and as far as I can tell not even a serial number - bitcoin (in a form of CoA) and the coin are totally separated.

You can make a simple commemorative coin, there's nothing wrong with that.
OR you can make a so called "physical bitcoin" coin with visible public address (so you check if the coin is loaded) and hidden private key (or as in your case a seed phrase, why not, even though it's longer), so you have to visibly damage the coin to reveal it. In that way undamaged coin automatically guarantees ownership of bitcoin - that is the whole point of such coin.
(Please research Casascius or some other reputable maker for this.)
What you did is neither.

Plus your instructions for redeeming are very, very amateurish - and I don't mean "simplified for ordinary people", I mean amateurish and insecure.

One problem with physical bitcoin is that it requires trust (which kinda goes against the whole bitcoin ethos, but that's another debate) in the maker of such coin.
I have to trust not just you're not a scammer, but also that you know what you're doing.
I am not sure if you are scammers, but just after reading your instructions I AM sure you don't really know much not just about making physical bitcoin, but also about bitcoin in itself.

Please, either stick to making commemorative coins (as I stated originally, the design itself is quite alright) OR get someone knowledgeable, if you really want to do this.
If it helps, you're not alone, Mint21 tried with "Liberty" coin and they got a lot of flak here as well (and deservedly so):
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5405047.msg60501825
(But again, your case is still much, much worse.)

Hi,

We are Coint Co and we are happy to answer your questions!

Indeed, the information about Niue is wrong and we have asked power coin to remove it. We are a registered Brazilian company (as you might suspect for Renato's past work).

You can check the transactions from our bitcoin wallet to the addresses for each new lydian coin in here : https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1CointCoXgzKSeCECFHoatVyJd6S6zgpkf
Currently there are 50 wallets loaded since we would like to keep track time in the blockchain as we sell the coins.

We also agree that the instructions to move those bitcoins might be challenging. We would love to use a qr code to read the private key from the certificate of authenticity, for example, but currently blockhain.com app doesn't allow that (we have informed them of the issue and they replied they'll be working on this). Also, if you have any suggestions on how to access the private key easily, we are happy to take into account.

We have used the word "password" on our marketing material since most of our customers are not familiar with public/private keys or dealing with bitcoin wallets.

Again, happy for your interest in our coin!

Regards,
Coint Co
273  Economy / Collectibles / [INFO/WARNING] New Lydian Coin on Powercoin.it on: August 14, 2022, 06:04:21 PM
There's a new silver coin on Powercoin called "New Lydian Coin":

https://www.powercoin.it/en/home/7141-new-lydian-coin-bitcoin-backed-1-oz-silver-coin-02-mbtc-2022.html

(Have to say the design is somewhat nice IMHO.)

First of all it's mistakenly labeled as Niue coin - it isn't. I assume this is an actual mistake, since most of their other BTC coins are Niue.
In reality it's just a private coin from a company called "Coint Co." that started supposedly in 2021, but their website is still "being minted" (alright, that's a neat joke):

https://www.coint.uk

Second of all, Powercoin wants 169.95 EUR for that coin, but you can find the company's shopify store where they offer it in pre-sale for 99 USD.
Also it seems they are going to offer a gold plated version of the same for whopping 700 USD (which means God knows how much on Powercoin).

But what's really, really funny, is how the coin is "loaded".
It's supposed to come with "a password to a Bitcoin address with 0.2 mBTC". But there's no public address nor sticker visible on the coin itself (not even serial number?).

Please, (especially if you're considering buying it) do yourself a favor and read these instructions:

https://cointco.myshopify.com/pages/instructions

I mean this kind of hard-core OpSec would make Jameson Lopp proud.
Just wow.

275  Economy / Collectibles / [CLOSED] Niue 2$ Cyber Orange 1 Oz Silver Coin on: May 03, 2022, 05:04:54 PM
I can't find it now, but in a recent thread there was someone frustrated these are sold out and couldn't find one for decent price, so just for information, here's one available again:

https://www.powercoin.it/en/oceania-south-pacific/6273-bitcoin-cyber-orange-1-oz-silver-coin-2-niue-2021.html

I hope it's not considered spam, I'm not affiliated with the site.

EDIT: Wow, that was quick, sold out again.
276  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: minerjones on: October 05, 2020, 01:27:29 PM
reason is simple - the eBay listing is not accurate - the seller was mistaken it was not a #3 of 18 --- the "3/18" was the date that PJ signed it.
The seller once made aware dropped the price of the item from near $200 to $22 just yesterday.  I got this clarification from PJ directly.

I believe he also had interactions with that eBay seller and may have thought your account was related to that seller. I am sure he will chime in.

The only numbered set is the one that is being sold here that was made custom for another forum member.
The red and black ones may be bought from PJ's site directly for $40

Well, not to my surprise, he didn't chime in, just as he didn't bother to explain why he deleted my posts or answer my PMs (two of them).

Please note I have never accused him of anything - I just described what happened and asked for explanation, since he didn't provide any on his own.

I fully trust clarification mentioned above and it's safe to assume he hasn't done that to mislead the buyers, but I'd still say he's an asshole...

PS: That auction is still 200 USD, btw...

Close - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279132.msg55289021#msg55289021

It's quite simple:

Minerjones sells limited edition run of the orange prints (which are most likely original) and there's a total of 50 made.

People on ebay sell a similar print but in different colors that are limited to a different number.

Two different products. As for why the thread might have been deleted, perhaps he didn't want to bother now that there are other colors available elsewhere and just keep the remaining stock (or someone cleaned house).
278  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Not-so-honest "minerjones"? on: September 30, 2020, 12:02:15 PM
All right, yes, that really does seem reasonable...
What happened really seemed suspicious, but that would kinda explain it.

Btw. the price is still under 200 USD..? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Crypto-Mixed-Art-BTC-Cryptocurrency-Art-By-Artist-PJ-ORourke-NUMBERED-3-18/233375526431

reason is simple - the eBay listing is not accurate - the seller was mistaken it was not a #3 of 18 --- the "3/18" was the date that PJ signed it.

279  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Not-so-honest "minerjones"? on: September 30, 2020, 11:54:15 AM
Entirely possible. If he offers reasonable explanation, I am perfectly willing to apologize...

Hey, FWIW I dealed with MJ many times and always had great experience, even when something in doubt or not clear, he always tried to find a fair solution...if someone doesn't reply you in 1-2 days doesn't automatically mean they ignore you, maybe they are just busy and they have their priorities...??
280  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Not-so-honest "minerjones"? on: September 30, 2020, 11:26:52 AM
I tried! Before posting this I did PM him asking why he did that! It's been two days, yet (while he was here and posted other comments) he didn't feel the need to answer me...


Minerjones is a trusted member of our community.

Not to mention quite experienced in handling crypto products. If there's a problem, you can talk with him.

Attacking him like this is hardly a wise move.
