Imho this is a VERY optimistic guess.
I'd expect them between 0.3 and 0.5 per coin.

Well lets hope you'll be right

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
You posted the performance of your funds that far (the 26.3% in 2 months) as an indicator for your experience in the reply to Korbman above.

And I say that such a performance wasn't difficult to achieve given the bull market on Btct in the last months.

Hence your performance is no indicator for how good or experienced you are. Not to mention that a timeframe of 2 months is too short for such conclusions anyway.

Just wanted to point that out. There is no central index (like Dow Jones or similar) we could compare your performance with and many newbies might invest money just because of your past performance.

Hi,
I haven't read your business plan nor I'm interested in investing, just wanted to comment on this:
So you were trading from end of May to end of July and you made 26.3%

Unfortunately coinflow.co seems to be down, so I can't access the long term charts, BUT:
In this period of time almost everything went up on Btct.co. The most traded securities like Asicminer (from ~2.5 to now over 4), Basic (should be >+500%) or Cognitive (more than doubled) all increased significantly.

I don't want to question that you might have experience from somewhere else, but I don't see the 26.3% in this time as a good achievement or as a proof of experience.

Any plans for a second round? I'd be interested in a few coins, especially when the 0.1s are available

Interesting project!

The 1/10th oz silver coins might be too small, its probably better to have at least 1/4th oz or 7.5g like the planned lealana/casascius coins.

Also I'd like to see a non-silver coin (made of nickel or sth silver looking?) nominated with 1 LTC but with a decent size. (Like the 1 BTC Brass coins).

I agree that the coins are expensive. However, if you can make them yourself, why don't you make some and sell them a bit cheaper?

Smoothie offers a high quality & novel product, therefore he can charge whatever he wants. And as long there are no competitors and enough people paying the premium he will continue doing so.
If you don't like it or you find it too expensive, don't buy it!

oh, some balance showed up already. I'll install Globalcoin today to test it

Is there anything else to do right now apart from running the FaH client? Also what do the stats in the pools page mean? Are there blocks that can be found? or does that refer to WU of FaH?

According to the latest news Cog has 393Gh which is approx 37.7Mhs/share

with your calculation the div should be 0.0023

Is there anything known or any plans for the following:

1) To redeem a coin to see if the private key really is under the sticker? (Maybe people could donate to someone who is willing to do it)

2) To put a coin on ebay/ bitmit/ where ever to see the market decide a price for them?

3) A group buy to lower costs?

 

2 for 1.15 BTC each

Well, the prices are on approximately the same level as the single coins of Casascius.

Why don't you offer bulk purchases (tubes of 10 or 20) and lower the prices there a bit? (Casascius gives a 25-30% discount for the silver-tubes)

Don't get too excited and use a calculator where you can include future difficulty adjustments (e.g. http://www.coinish.com/calc/#)

Or do some research here in the board (look for PMB), there are plenty of threads about it. The price is on that (low? or too high?) level for a reason.

Also bei einem fairen Glueckspiel wie Roulette hat man ne (knapp) 50% Chance auf verdoppeln und 50% auf verlieren.

Hier hat man ne 50% Chance auf dass man einen Artikel bekommt der genausoviel Wert ist wie der Einsatz oder man verliert alles.

Der Lospreis ist ganz einfach zu teuer, das ist was ich meinte.

Was fuer ne Rechnung ist das denn?

Ein neuer USB ASIC miner kostet 1 BTC.

Warum sollte ich (als Mitspieler) hier 10 Lose kaufen (=1 BTC) und dann nur ne 50% Chance auf den Gewinn haben?

dann wird ne Muenze geworfen  

abgesehen davon viel zu teuer, sieht fuer mich so aus also ob du einen USB Miner fuer 2 BTC gekauft hattest und das nun wieder reinspielen willst

Wenn das stimmt dann wird die difficulty schon bald sehr stark ansteigen:

in the meantime it already looks like a very nice dividend for selling after the next difficulty change

I received the coin, Thanks Nightowlace. Everything went smoothly

Two things to note:
First, I didn't get the coin on the picture, still a series 1 Casascius though with a nice address: 1Ey8uYES , so I'm fine with that.

Second, the front of the coin looks cleaned or polished. Or maybe its just the appearance of the 2011 coins, as this is my first one I can't really tell. However, the 2013 coins look "sharper". From my coin-collecting experience using polish or cleaner is a no-go. I would not recommend anybody to do that just to make the coins more shine.
Anyway, the coin is beautiful, As I'm new to Casascius coins I'm just asking out of curiosity if there's any difference in the coins of the different years

Hi,

Sorry, but please take me out.

I might be interested later though, if you plan to order more

Also if you order the 1/2s with the old sticker.

Best,

Depends on the point of view. Eventually, 100% of the asset will be given back as a dividend. So if Selling keeps on giving back more than double the amount than Mining it should be priced accordingly. Let me know if I got sth wring with this thinking.
