Hello there arklan...please let me know the plan going forward and how much time you need. This loan carries a significant late fee of 0.1 BTC/day...we need to make arrangements... Terms of this loan have been renegotiated. arklan has made a payment of 0.5 BTC. The remaining amount due is now locked in at 1 BTC, due April 15, 2015. This means total repaid will be 1.5 BTC, rather than the original 1.2 BTC. Late fee provision is waived for two additional months until April 15, 2015, to give time to get affairs in order. If arklan is not able to repay the remaining 1 BTC balance due by that date, a new late fee of 0.1 BTC per week with be enforced (rather than per day). Again, this is to ensure the loan is paid off at some definitive point. Updated loan terms: Borrowing Member: arklanLoan Date: December 4, 2014 Loan Amount: 1 BTC Amount to be Repaid: 1.5 BTC, 0.5 BTC paid on February 16, 2015, 1 BTC balance remains Due: April 15, 2015 Late Fee: 0.1 BTC for each week late confirm the above. Responding to this as requested arklan...per our renegotiated terms above, 1 BTC is owed by April 15, 2015. Repayment is not required until that date, although late fees would be due there-after. As an aside--was pleased to hear of your turn of fortune...seems all your diligence has literally and figuratively paid off. Congratulations to you. |

Interesting...will be keeping an eye on this. Waiting for that monumental breakthrough...beyond BTC itself of course!

XRF testing does no damage and most dealers/pawn shops have them.
Do you know if handheld x-ray units are sure-fire, or is a more elaborate device required to ensure accuracy? Would be great to have a reliable unit handy. |

The article is quite good because it's not biased like some opinions you usually read in mainstream media.
Agreed--refreshing to hear both sides regarding benefits and potential pitfalls. Always a good idea to consider all perspectives and possibilities. |

Is there major risk of tarnishing the bar when 'home' testing? Are the rates reasonable to have a professional do it?
Unique way to home test without damaging .999 silver: Hard boil an egg. Once finished, while egg is still hot, mush it up and put on a plate. Place silver near egg and wrap up with saran wrap, so mostly air tight. (Could also use Tupperware or anything that keeps air from escaping whatever you are using.) The sulfur gases released from the egg will turn the .999 silver coloring into a beautiful rainbow. To return back into shiny silver color again. Wash with a little soap in warm water, dip in acetone for 3-5 seconds. Rinse off with water....and .999 silver back to original condition, undamaged. EDIT: If you have children, it's a fun science experiment to do with them. Assuming this works, it would only verify the authenticity of the outer surface of the silver item...many are silver plated, some even silver dipped, but the cores may not be authentic. Most bars require drilling and testing to verify undeniable silver content. A shame really...having to deal with all this fraud. |

Negotiation in process. ...snip...
fee of 0.1BTC/day, which is completely ridiculous sorry.
Agreed marcotheminer...didn't want to have to collect any late fees...the intent of the draconian daily late fee was to dissuade any late payment and provide a definitive repayment end-date for this longer-term loan. But given arklan's situation, it is unreasonable to enforce such a penalty. These loans are meant to be a service, not a burden. As such, we are working on a solution...stay tuned... |

EDIT: I have never gotten a coin graded before, I think I want to use PCGS or NGC, can anyone provide advice on what they should be submitted under?
Not sure they will grade Casascius, or any crypto for that matter...if anyone has different information please do share. Believe ANACS is our best option for now... I have seen his graded coins in the marketplace before. So somehow, somewhere someone is grading them. Indeed--quite easy to get these coins graded with ANACS. PCGS and NGC still don't accept crypto-related coins, although I'd wager that will change eventually. Submittal details here: http://www.anacs.com/contentPages/FAQSubmitting.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 |

Beautiful and significant coins offered here. This along with smoothie's other similar auction, would seem to indicate an significant upswing in the Casascius market... |
