and my newest grandson is born

I dont have any specifics as she was rushed to surgery, baby's heart stopped, ended up being the cord was up over his shoulder so every contraction was cutting off his oxygen. They did an emergency c-section and he is now in nicu - daughter is in recovery. Was scary for a bit but seems like the worst is past.

wife will let me know more when she comes home. she has not seen the baby yet.

For our children we have (oldest to youngest) girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, boy, boy, girl - 6 girls and 2 boys.
for the grand children (oldest to youngest) girl, boy, girl, boy, boy, boy, boy, girl, girl, boy, boy - so 4 girls and 7 boys --- another one due next week, which we know is a girl so will be 5 girls and 7 boys. We still have 3 children that have not had any kids yet

well i just checked and it is now almost $17 to add one stamp.... was $8 a few hours ago... guess I should not have waited

edit - just checked this morning and gas prices are crazy... $36 and change to xfer - I thought the point of crypto was to be better than fiat banks? Shit, I have wired 10k to China for less money using a bank.
5887  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [INFO]-Crypto Stamps- Collectable Blockchain postage stamps on: September 14, 2020, 02:02:47 AM


you already created a collection, so try to transfer or buy at least one crypto stamp into the collection for qualifying for the onchain raffle. The chance to win a golden unicorn is about 15% each week. 3 weeks left. ;-)

The difference between onchain crypto stamp (OCS) and the normal physical CS is, that for the onchain you will have the NFT first and can request any time the physical counterpart (unfortunately you need to pay gas for every steps). Whereas the physical CS, you will have the physical stamp first but the NFT is not minted yet.

it does not matter how many are in the collection? what is the criteria to be selected? your post above says toe collect "achievements" to hunt for the Unicorn - I have 16 that I would redeem (the other 12 I will either sell or give away) I have given away a few already.

I wonder if there is any value to the one stamp with 'satoshi' in the pass phrase? lol would have been better if the stamps were based on BTC not ETH lol

What I have read is, that at the beginning the Austrian Post has planned to give priority and reward those collections with many achievements. But because of the high gas situation they changed it. It's enough if you have a collection and with at least one CS in it. Does not matter how many CS you have in your collection. So far about 31 collections with only one CS inside the collection won a CSGU.

ahh ok - I will do a few then. I have till weds/thurs so I might wait to see if gas prices go down a little - I had added enough to do about $10 each for gas so about $160 total if I do them all

holy hell.... it went up more. was near $8 each earlier now it is almost $13 to do one. what a fucking rip off...
5888  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [INFO]-Crypto Stamps- Collectable Blockchain postage stamps on: September 14, 2020, 01:52:53 AM
I'm not sure why you just didn't buy an OCS stamp or two here:

https://crypto.post.at/onchainshop/

more info: https://crypto.post.at/how-it-works/#what_is_onchain

I think taciturn is saying you need an OCS stamp in your collection. Not sure about imported physicals. I do it in reverse. Buy onchain, then have the physicals sent to me via metamask. I don't recall it being super expensive, but maybe it was. The ETH network is really shitty lately, so many shit-tokens/contracts lol.


to be honest - I have zero experience with ethereum or the onchain store and did not understand the difference when purchasing - someone had posted the link to where I could pre-purchase them and I did - it just so happened it was physicals - I looked at buying the on chain ones now - and its nearly the same price as xferring the physicals nearly $12 euros each

tell me this if I buy on-chain ones, do they automatically send me the physical ones? do I have to request them? And is there a cost associated to getting the physical ones after buying on-chain ones?


edit - after reading the response right before mine - I think I will just hold onto the physicals - periodically checking gas prices and eventually redeem them when its reasonable. Sadly, this will remove any chance of winning one of the golden unicorns - though I assume that chance is slim anyways. And I wasted $15 to create the empty collection lol

I wonder how many people missed the unicorns in their collections and lost out.... And what happened to them if not redeemed? So many questions  Roll Eyes

I just created a collection cost $12 - tried to add the first stamp and its nearly $9 to add each one. This will be super expensive....


that said, if I go to https://crypto.post.at/wallet/<enter wallet address for stamp>

and click the button the side (no idea what it says)

it pops up a message: The golden unicorn was not found here

I am not sure but I wonder if this is a way to check to see if the physicals have a unicorn assigned? without having to pay the fees to add to a collection? I have almost 30 stamps - it would cost me over 200 USD to add them all and that is kind of crazy - or am I wrong and that should be expected?


...


You misunderstood how the crypto stamp golden unicorn (CSGU) onchain raffle works. The criteria are: you need a digital collection and at least one crypto stamp in it. That's so far the minimum. Every Thursday after midnight (CET), sometimes later, the system will randomly select collections for a CSGU. You need to connect your wallet with the Austrian crypto stamp site and check your collection. If you win, you can't miss the huge full page win message. You need to claim it before the next Wednesday by filling out the address data and signing the transaction (free). Transaction is set with 100 gwei, so if ETH network has higher gas price it can take few days for the smart contract to fulfill the transaction. As long at least pending transaction or better successful transaction, everything is fine. If you see the won CSGU in your collection, then you will get the physical CSGU counterpart. This raffle will end on the 5th of October 2020.

As you already know total mintage of the CSGU is 999 (500 physical sale Onlineshop, 299 Onchain Raffle, 200 physical Raffle). So far 154 of 299 Onchain Raffle CSGU have been distributed and about 25-30 of 200 of physical Raffle CSGU have been sent to winners. Another 100 of physical Raffle CSGU reserved for the scavenger hunt game (until 21st of September 2020).
Differences between Onchain Raffle (ID 0-298, marked outside with 390000-390298, rectangle packaging), Onlineshop (Physical Sale ID 499-998, square packaging) and physical Raffle CSGU (ID 299-498, marked outside with 390299-390498, rectangle packaging): Onlineshop and physical Raffle CSGU still have the NFT in their original physical counterpart wallet, whereas for the Onchain Raffle CSGU the wallet is empty because the NFT is minted directly into your collection after the win claim.

Really great from the Austrian Post to make 499 CSGU worth minimum 249,500 Euro (gold value not included) as gifts to CS collectors/enthusiasts.

ok I thought I might have did it wrong - I just dont see the logic in paying so much just to add it to a collection, nearly doubles the cost of each stamp. but if there is a chance to win the golden one.... maybe worth it.

one question - if you add it to your collection - is there a way to xfer the onchain one if you, for example, sell the physical?


edit - well, hell I go ahead and xfer enough eth to wallet and go to start xferring the stamps - the cost to transfer went up nearly 20%....

edit - for the 16 that I am keeping (one of each animal for colors black, blue, yellow and green) it would cost .432157 eth to add them to my collection.

as I am not scanning the other 12 I have (4 have yet to arrive) I would assume the average cost to be about the same so would be an additional .324118 or basically .75 eth to add them all to my collection. Note the 12 that are extra will not be scanned to any collection if I ever do decide to scan the 16 others to a collection.

2nd edit - one of my Panda's has a 12 digit pass phrase where one of the words is 'satoshi'

I am having issues where the balance page does not add up correctly - for example, I have 4 litecoin addresses and it shows all 4 with their correct balances however - the total omits one of the balances and thus is wrong.

this issue comes and goes - and with different coins at different times - in an hour the above may be reflected correctly and my bitcoin balances will be wrong instead.
Thanks for the report.

I've identified the scenario. If you have multiple addresses and the check for one of them fail, the failure will not be indicated in the user interface. The last balance for the address will still be displayed, but no longer part of the total.

I will correct this in the next release, to indicate if there was a failure and let the total value assume the last known balance for the address that failed once. After this change, you will always see the total balance correctly.

it seems to error now on anything with more than 2 addresses Sad

Is this miner is available now on amazon and to other online store? and what are the coin is supporting this miner, is this capable to mine Ethereum? Is there anyone here already tried it or buy it? Let me know your experience in using it.  Thanks

you can buy them direct from the Futurebit site - https://shop.futurebit.io/products/moonlander-2-usb-stick-asic-miner-for-scrypt-algorithm-cryptocurrencies?variant=8651174445171

no, it cannot mine Ethereum - these miners are Scrypt algo

The one I had worked great - it is not a large money maker but it is perfect to learn mining on and doesn't cost anything to run basically.

Thank you! I will add you to the list - they should be able to ship by next weekend.

If you can, please send payment to the address in OP based on whether you need them shipped in the US or internationally. Also, there is the option of shipping to minerjones for him to consolidate the shipping with anything else he may be holding for you.
5899  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [INFO]-Crypto Stamps- Collectable Blockchain postage stamps on: September 12, 2020, 06:21:44 AM
now, we have digressed enough.

Do you have input as to how I should handle this with the Austrian Post? I have already sent an email to them letting them know that the original order arrived and asking if they would prefer that I "repay" the amount that was already refunded to me and asking what I should do about the 2nd order that is incoming. I am truly confused as to why they would send a replacement once a claim was made and I was reimbursed.

This has happened multiple times with people sending back their full orders and requesting refunds (hence sold out but not sold out).I think at this point they no longer want the headache and will eat the 28euro x2 cost. We're talking hundreds of stamps being immediately shipped back to Austria Post due to the security flaws in the production of their CS2 stamps.
The worst thing that could happen is that your address is flagged for purchasing of CS3.. but to be honest nobody is going to be too excited about those and you can always buy second hand from trusted members here.
Enjoy the free stamps, they made enough money through presales, release date sales, and 500euro stamps that will never be used to ship anything.

Agreed - I just am curious why they would bother to send the second set - with the first set assumed lost and that they had already refunded me. I would have figured they would cut the losses there.

I do find it interesting that they have stamps left to even send me - it was my understanding that all were sold out - but you mention returns so maybe the second batch will just be what someone has already skimmed and returned?

Also, after looking at the package a bit more - I noticed that they sent it to Hudson, NY not Hudson, FL  --- that might be why it took so long to get to me.

I mean really??? he shared his email address, cant trust him in a free raffle...
Yea it's not just your email address.. your full address is on display and you're putting you and your family's lives in danger. You might think I'm being a "pompous ass" but I'm trying to help you protect yourself from the real assholes in this world.

Also as I had said before if newbies to the board start seeing your threads and thinking that this is some sort of "norm" they might accidentally dox themselves and the other party thinking it is alright. There's people lurking our board collecting this information whether it be bitcoin addresses, transaction id's, doxxes.. anything they can tie to someone. If you want to see how easy it is to throw a humongous wrench into someone's daily life browse this thread.

Dox yourself over a 28 euro story that no one gives a fuck about. You do you bud, but it ain't a good look.


The address is my businesses address - my company name and EIN is listed here on the forums - anyone can look up that address easily enough. And with my business information being public, yes it could be easily determined my personal information as well. However, my family's lives are not in danger though, not anymore than anyone else's, thanks for pretending like you care. Because the way you state it - it comes across more as a threat than a piece of advice. I pity anyone setting foot on any property of mine - business or personal with ill intent. I don't live in a pansy ass, run for your life, can't defend yourself because you will be prosecuted state. Someone steps foot on my property with the intent to commit a crime and I or anyone who is lawfully on the property feels threatened - that person, who does not belong there will be put down and there will be no legal issues whatsoever that will come from it.

And no - you are not trying to help - I legitimately cannot recall one post you ever tried to help anyone. Anything you say that could possibly have been remotely helpful is clouded and ruined by your arrogance.



As you can see on my trust list I collect shithead's baby rage retaliation trust ratings. Fuels my love for this space. Thanks for your patronage.

sure why not? you did it first Smiley And in typical TeeGUMES fashion more name calling. Heck, my very first interaction with you ever was you calling me some sort of profane name and threatening me with red trust. You are simply a bully. And one I will no longer entertain.

now, we have digressed enough.

Do you have input as to how I should handle this with the Austrian Post? I have already sent an email to them letting them know that the original order arrived and asking if they would prefer that I "repay" the amount that was already refunded to me and asking what I should do about the 2nd order that is incoming.
