Lot 1: 0.01 BTC
That's a really sexy woodcase. Is this exclusive for these rolls or was it used for other items, too?
Any numbers on mintage of these special edition rolls?

Wow, with that fluorescent marker it looks incredible. Very techy/alien style. Seems like quite some work to put your keys in, especially since you really need to avoid a "misclick" with those dots. But I am happy to see something different and artsy in that field. Are these numbered?
I would guess so given that they have unique stones each, but also would like to know for sure. |

JanEmil....Thanks for sharing this. Are the Faroe islands part of Denmark? I think these come out to $14 each. I like the nature aspect theme on these stamps. [...] Agreed, very beautiful nature/animal designs here. QR code is big but overall this design looks 100x better than recent Austria CS. [...]
But but wait!! Payment can be made in crypto ie metamask or direct payment in BTC and others or via crypto.com.
As easy as abc.
That explanation does sound like copy-pasted from a shady NFT-something-pyramid-scheme-scam, lol. Please share when you find out what actually was in your mystery box. |

Can you update this pics?
I wouldn't rely on imgur anymore, but most of their pics still work as far as I know. Just embedding to bitcointalk posts doesn't. Here is a direct link to the photo: https://i.imgur.com/rhgzJq0.jpgIs there any record of these sets selling in the second-hand market? Amazing set, a little out of my range, GL with the sale, AT! |

Mal wieder ein kleines Update für diesen Thread. Anbei ein ganz interessanter Artikel: FTX paid over $120 million in advisor fees between February 1 and April 30In den ersten drei Monaten zahlte FTX sagenhafte 120 Millionen Dollar an Berater- Anwalts- und Gerichtskosten. Wahnsinn, je länger sich die Dinge hinziehen, desto mehr Geld geht für diese Kosten drauf. Für die geschädigten Kunden gibt es dann womöglich am Ende viel weniger zu verteilen. Eigentlich ein Unding. The legal and advisory costs for bankrupt crypto exchange FTX are mounting.
Filings submitted on June 15 by FTX's advisors show that fees and expenses for the period between February 1 and April 30 totaled $121.8 million, according to data compiled by The Block Research.
FTX lawyers at Sullivan & Cromwell billed the bankrupt exchange $37.6 million for the period, amounting to 30.9% of all fees and expenses. Investment banking firm Jefferies billed the lowest amount, making up 0.6% of the total fees and expenses.
Restructuring consultants at Alvarez and Marsel charged $37 million with over $1.1 million in expenses that included $51,225 in meals, $149,155 in lodging and other miscellaneous items amounting to $1,995.
"As restructuring advisors, their claims and compensation sit on top of other claims and are 'super senior' to the unsecured claims bucket which includes customer deposits," The Block Research's Greg Lim.
Exchange restart
The mounting costs of FTX's bankruptcy are fueling a movement among some former clients to reboot the exchange under new leadership to return value to customers.
Travis Kling, the chief investment officer at Ikigai Asset Management, once referred to a reboot as “one of the most bullish outcomes possible for creditors.” Ikigai held a majority of its assets on FTX.
Loomdart, an anonymous crypto personality, is leading the charge on a movement dubbed the FTX 2.0 coalition. In his view, the regulatory woes facing Coinbase and Binance make a relaunch more viable.
Per filings, FTI Consulting spent about 686.8 hours and billed fees of $761,997.70 on a workstream titled "Exchange restart." Quelle: https://www.theblock.co/post/235547/ftx-paid-over-120-million-in-advisor-fees-between-february-1-and-april-30Absolut krank auf verschiedenen Ebenen. Zum einen, dass solche Summen überhaupt irgendwelche Anwälte (selbst wenn es eine Armee aus 100 ist wären es noch über eine Million pro Kopf) verlangen und tatsächlich bekommen können. Und zum anderen natürlich, dass das im Endeffekt ja veruntreute Gelder sind (gestohlen, geraubt klingt passender), die eben, wie Du bereits erwähnt hast, den Opfern dieses Mega-Scams zukommen sollten. Und zu guter Letzt auch noch Bestrebungen den "Pile-of-Shit" wiederzubeleben. Verrückt. Selbst als Nicht-Betroffener kann man da nur noch den Kopf schütteln. Jedes weitere Detail bezüglich FTX liest sich einfach wie die größte Verarsch-Komödie ever. |

Scary. I think if you put enough (criminal) energy in cracking most of these physical security features, you can possibly find ways. Regarding the X-ray question: I remember discussing this a while ago with some folks that are quite tech savy and their estimate was with a modern and rightly callibrated x-ray-machine you would probably be able to read an engraved private key. Haven't heard of anyone putting this to the test so far, though. Also I am certain there is current technology (if not just an x-ray machine) that would be able to do this. Most of this tech is probably still extremely expensive and only in the hands of a few researchers and scientists in fields that don't really care about stealing a few BTC from crypto collectibles. |

Looks awesome. Is the cat included (see ebay)? What kind of material is bismuth? For some reason my mind has marked it as "toxic" but not sure. Just checked wikipedia, it says an intoxication is unlikely to happen but similar to that of lead poisining. Just don't eat the coin I guess. |

Can i get a 5th grade explanation for whats happening here?
Some, possibly all, of these coins have had their keys compromisedThe key that comes with the coins is not in a standard private key format. So, if you want to peel the coin and redeem the BTC you have to do a couple of other steps. A few years ago cwil posted a way of converting what they give you to a standard private key, but it required some programming knowledge. I posted a simpler way. As to why they used a non standard format, who knows. -Dave Compromised is not correct term.... that would indicate something happened such as the sweeping of funds. They were "improperly formated" Thanks to you both for sharing this method of converting to "normal" private keys. I was also confused regarding *compromised* - so glad to hear they are not (yet  ) - not sure if I do remember correctly, though, some of the newer ones (the 0.001 denominated bulls) had issues with the private keys readablility when peeled. Can anyone confirm / negate this? |

Very pretty collectible pieces. Probably the first silver and gold hand-pressed Bitcoin collectibles I would assume?
Design is fantastic. Will reach out via dm for a set or two.
Aaaarrrrrg!
btw, that box design is fantastic, Mopar. Looks a little bit big for a few coins - what are the actual dimensions of this thing?
gabecoin did a 1gram gold - i think it was hand pressed - pretty damn small though icg couldnt slab it as it was too small lol Ah, this rings a bell! It only had a BTC stamped on one side, right? I do have a minted 1 g goldcoin - it's pretty pretty imho, but you do need a microscope to read the text... (yes, a strong magnifying glass does the job, too)as for the dimensions - the one I completed is 100mm wide x 85mm deep and 81mm tall --- I made some modifications and now printing at 75% of that size. First of the new ones will be done in 9 hours. I think the link expires in 2 days but here is a time lapse of the first one printing https://streamable.com/2c4j0aAh, not too tiny for a few coins, I thought maybe it's playmobile sized. That timelapse is so cool! Can you make a cookie-chocolate version? This looks tasty for some reason? xD |

    This amazing wallet arrived yesterday. It is massive, does look amazing and must be seen (and held) in person to be able to fully appreciate it. Big shoutout to Sentinel for this piece of art. I put a few items, including a Kialara bar in the picture to give an idea of the true dimensions of this thing. |

How high is the possbility that the AtomicWallet developers backdoored their own software? Because it's so unexplainable why they still haven't shut their whole infrastructure down, or that they still allow for the wallet to be downloaded? The Bitcoin community, and all of cryptocurrencies would receive another massive "LOSS" if some nefarious motive was found in the source code. I would hate to post another tin-foil hat idea, but if there was something in the code, I would say that someone in Atomic's team is a plant.  Given what we have witnissed last year alone (FTX, Yogg...) I'd say it's quite likely. If there are several devs, it just needs one rotten apple to put in a backdoor and abuse it at some point when it seems profitable. Then again, there is also a good chance it was some vulnurability within some dependency/package in their codebase. Maybe one of their own devs found out and decided to take advantage or someone from outside. I clearly lean towards inside job, though. Chances are just higher. Nothing too suprising, though. And another great example why open source MUST be the standard for critical software such as wallets in the Bitcoin space. |

Collectibles in this forum are undervalued.
I have the opposite opinion - I feel that the items here are more accurately priced here on the forums where more knowledgeable people are and out there - the fomo and the hype make people spend 10x what they should and eventually later they will find out they were ripped off - in some of the cases - and then it goes counterproductive to our niche. that said, it is an auction at least and not just some blanket stupid high price slapped on it. really puts the importance on "DYOR" before buying. I tend to agree more with polymerbit on this. Sure, it's easy to dismiss most of art and collectible markets as overvalued. If you see it that way, then outside forum prices for crypto collectibles are probably overpriced. But our forum isn't frequented much, many auctions aren't recognized by more than a dozen collectors, so how does this represent a "realistic" price? I guess the "real" value of most collectibles is somewhere in the middle of forum prices and high bids in Stacks auctions. Long run, when/if Bitcoin becomes mainstream and more and more collectos become aware of this field, current prices will most likely still be peanuts compared to what will be called normal then. Mentioning Satori chips....I would love to place an entire roll and see how that would do on this auction site...but then again they would want them to all be graded first...Can't see myself taking apart a roll just for the grading. I think the roll in itself is a collectable and would leave it the way it is as its worth more that way than broken apart. Just my two Sats on that subject  agreed! do not break open the roll! Good point. A full roll would be very interesting - maybe there is a way to get it verified without breaking the seal? |

Thanks for the raffle!
Question regarding the wallet, does Ballet support colors like in the photo you posted?
Is the design similar/ the same? In any case, please provide a picture of the wallet when they get to you, really curious to see how they look.
