Respectable apology killyou72.
It's different in the Collectibles forum due to many of us consistently trading with each other time and time again, you grow to trust the people as your address/whereabouts are always being handed out for shipping details. It creates a different bond than if we were just red taggers in offtopic/other subforums. This is why you see a different dynamic from the Collectibles folk. That being said, there are many of us that will speak out regardless of who it is and call you on your shit if you say something stupid.. and a lot of the time after a good hard sleep that person sees where they went wrong and this thread/apology is a perfect example of that.

This here?

Six of the coins are denominated in 10BTC. The other three are 1BTC.

Yes each coin is very well documented in the original thread posted by WoodCollector https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1011340.msg10971986#msg10971986
This is the post of his that I have quoted in my OP.

Best I've got currently.

By far the most shiny of them all, was hard to get a good picture.

Feel free to edit your post if you think of anything else, I am always eager to take on new ideas. Until Coin 10 becomes known to be in existence it is up to our imaginations as to how we proceed.
I 99.9% will not try anything that damages the wood, even though it could be a possibility I would rather have these presented at a museum or a potential sale to someone that has the treasure hunting bug.



My first two coins came through the door on October 24, 2017 and the last(ninth) came February 11, 2019 for a total of 475 days start to finish.

I 100% thought it was impossible and that I would end up with at most 6 or 7 of them. Ran into some obstacles along the way at each step.. only the first two coins were ever for sale in an auction. Everybody else I tracked down and had to make appropriate offers that would entice each owner to want to give up their coin. All it would take was for me to rub one of them the wrong way and my collection would have been incomplete no matter how hard I tried. With each owner I was completely transparent about how many of the coins I owned at the time and that it was my end game goal to reach all 9.. I knew this could potentially inflate the amount that they would want for their coin but I never wanted to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

The journey taught me a lot of patience and if there is a Coin 10 out there I am very capable of waiting much longer until the right set of eyes end up on this thread.

Work in progress.

Last week I picked these up.





And I am going to be constructing a sort of "dark box" that will fit the coins and have a slot in top that will accommodate different sorts of lighting.
Waiting until its a bit nicer outside so I can turn it into sort of an event, have a few people look aswell over a few drinks. Others may be able to spot something I miss.

I think my WoodCollector collection belongs here.

The more eyes we get on it the chances for a possible Coin 10 revealing itself becomes greater. Then we buy Casascius coins for all

Edit to add some pics (some never before seen!). More in the link above including higher res.

I see where you are coming from but my mind has been trained to think in preventative ways and to solve issues before they happen. I am very happy that the Collectibles board hasn't turned into a big trash heap but as bitcoin becomes more mainstream and more and more people come around, I very much see a problem arising, hence my post. Both arguments have validity... one waits for a problem to arise then solves it, the other doesn't even let there be a problem, now or in the future. Both achieve similar results as long as once the problem arises it gets addressed sooner than later.

killyou72 wanted Lesbian Cow to send the notes to Polymerbit, then have Polymerbit sign them, then send them to killyou72. That is fine and all but Lesbian Cow would really only be responsible for the journey from LC -> Polymerbit. If something happened theft wise in the mail then things would be discussed between LC and killyou72. But after successful delivery killyou72 also wants to have LC on the hook for the items during the Polymerbit -> killyou72 mail journey. Completely ridiculous and anyone with a brain would have disqualified your bid after that statement.

The auction wasn't for signed notes, it was just for notes.. the signature was just a kind gesture by the creator of these. If you are concerned about them getting lost in transit then why not have them shipped first to yourself, then send them to polymerbit on your own. Is it because you want a fall guy in case something should happen? This way you could insure your package in case of theft/mail problems. I highly doubt you estimate the value of goods as actual so I really can't see you insuring your package, especially since you were trying to get a discount for your tx fees. BTW 2sats/byte go though just fine currently.

Full auction terms quoted here:

I see no breaking of the auction terms. You turned into a nightmare bidder and were already making plans as if you had won. If any terms were being discussed in private messages that only counts for if you won the auction. No terms were broken in the auction itself.
As anyone can see you have reading comprehension problems and posting this in Meta furthers the point that your understanding of the forum are very much so lacking. I encourage the campaign manager of your sig/avatar campaign to think twice about the quality of your posting. It seems as though you find it easiest to get your post count up by creating unnecessary drama.

Hard to follow #'s with edits and such lol, 1 regular, 1 anon. Lowest consecutive please.

It's just incredible how stupid and how big of a pest you have become. Every single time you bid or post absolutely anything there is always a "what if this" "what if that". You're a nightmare for anyone to transact with.

So here you wanted LC to ship this to Polymerbit because he would sign both notes as a sort of apology to LC for temporarily closing the doors at the same time this auction was running. Not only did you attack Polymerbit with insane accusations in their own thread but now you want LC to ship these to Polymerbit and then have Polymerbit ship them to you.. but still have LC on the hook if it gets lost. (I'd like to say that having both of these notes signed would increase the value of your notes far beyond what the auction ends at.)

Let's not even look at the fact that none of this should even be being discussed until after you win the auction. You're essentially just posting nonsense garbage that should take place in private messages. Nice sig and avatar btw, more than likely getting your post count up here hey?

/derail    apologies LC

Look at this thread, someone that sells things and accepts people's money was transparent and let everyone know exactly what is going on. Can't say the same can you?

I oftentimes speak up when something is not BTC related or if they link an ebay auction (I usually tell them Goods is a more appropriate subforum for their item). The last thing I want is for Collectibles to turn into Garage Sale. I actually support the OP and believe that the current Collectibles subforum should have somewhat stricter rules, which would also place these other items into a dedicated place of their own.

Think about in the future when/if some pawn shop spammer comes and lists their "collectibles".. it would hurt the Collectibles forum but not currently be breaking any rules. Think flora x 10 due to it actually being someone's day job to bump their threads every single day at the 24hr mark.

I'd prefer this attitude in DT1



rather than this attitude in DT1

If you are accepting payment for these already how come we have not seen anything besides a single pig prototype? All I see are various rendered pictures and links to Casascius and Denarium promotional pictures.

I ask this because we know that those holograms work great on metals, but your piggybank does not seem to be made from a metal. I think you need to stress test the hell out of the security of these. What if you can use a heatgun and make the plastic of the piggybank heat up enough that the hologram just falls off? What if you can slice the piggybank a mere fraction deeper than the hologram and be able to make out the QR code/private key underneath? What if the plastic causes a reaction with the printer paper and it becomes unreadable after a year?

You've come to a forum where many members have coins worth $1000, $10,000, even $100,000 worth of bitcoin. Your idea isn't a bad one, but you need to have every single checkmark checked on your sheet before you can even throw yourself into the mix, especially here.

You may say well it is only $10 worth of bitcoin.. but no, bitcoin itself was once worth $10 each and look at it now. There is potential here but you have more work to do.

i'll take the second last spot

All the more reason to contact the valid bidder(s), explain to them that a circumstance has come about.. post that all bidders have been contacted and okay'd the cancellation out of respect to the auctioneer, lock thread and leave it intact.

The only reason we know that Fattcatt included that clause was because of a phone camera snapshot.. Fattcatt effectively removed the necessary information that would have made this "technically okay" from a passerby's perspective.
But now looking at anonymousminer's trust page I can see that he should not be trusted (sarcasm) and I can no longer believe that the snapshot was not edited to include that clause.

A logical explanation as to why they were cancelling the auction would have been enough to calm everybody watching this trainwreck. "for any reason" just doesn't cut it.

The cockiness after cancelling the auction is just adding fuel to the flames. Aswell, who are we in the Collectibles forum to lock and move our topics into boards that others may frequent, effectively cluttering their board. Have some respect.

I would like to propose an unofficial rule here that a cancelled auction require all bidders to be contacted beforehand and thought process given to them. The "I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time for no reason whatsoever" does not belong here. In the future if you include this in your list of auction rules, just click the little x in the top right of your browser before you hit "post".
Save yourself the time and just don't start an auction or a sale if you can not follow through with it.

From my reply here the countdown hit 0 at 6 hours and 36 minutes ago. Which would have put this bid 3 hours and 40 minutes late.


In the future for OP it is important to put your timezone with an exact date/time of the end of the auction. In your defense you did say you and the coin were in France and it would end at noon on Tuesday. But many people use more common USA timezones due to forum population/more potential bidder activity during the end of an auction.

I believe minerjones is correct.

Time to get you an overpriced loaded one next mwhaahahaa
