Seems as though the guy is doing alright for himself - did I read it right he’s already recovered 35BTC ? ?
Think we need some peeps who know about these coins ?

I must have missed that part - I think I stopped on page 2 or 3 - damn 35 btc? I sure hope its not stealing the funds from peoples coins. Imagine if this was a coin makers hard drive... and they kept copies of all the private keys etc for the coins they made/sold...

It's pretty easy - Just go to https://www.alpencoin.ch/public-key and input the missing numbers, the copy the bitcoin address for each serial number. Links are no big deal, I can do that part with an excel macro.

Thanks!


I already pulled all the public addresses doing this - my post is several up higher than yours - I pulled the public address and their balances - I only did not post a link.
6089  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [BhCoins Series 1] Collectors please read :) on: August 20, 2020, 12:26:10 PM
I read thru that thread - it does look like he has a ton of private keys/public addresses and pass phrases but no way to match them up - looks like he is trying to find a way to test them all against each other to take the coin.


He did state he has very little knowledge on how to handle these things - So I do not think the lists are his. Is it possible he got a hard drive from a pc that used to belong to some coin manufacturer?

Hello,

As many know, I am relatively new to the collectibles area and as much as I love to buy the Bitcoin Physicals, many are too expensive to actually utilize them for what they are - many also demanding high premiums.  We all know that no one is handing out Casascius or Lealana coins - and I don't blame them. Maybe some are handing out Satori's but even those fetch a decent premium.  

As I began to buy and participate in this great collectible section of the forums, I happened upon some poker chip wallets from capn_hash at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5245893 and from guigui371 at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5267152 - I really liked these and bought about 2 dozen from capn_hash, as gifts for my children and grandchildren, I saw an opportunity for Mopar Mining, LLC to also provide affordable wallets that forum members could fund and easily give away. These wallets are standard 39mm poker chips and fit in the provided air-tites without rattling around. Included in the set are 5 Bitcoin denominations labeled as .001BTC, .0025BTC, .005BTC, .075BTC and .01BTC.

.001


.0025


.005


.0075


.01


Full set:



The holograms are tamper evident; I tested them for quality and have posted the results below;one of the test included a QR code under the hologram which was printed at 1/2" and it worked great. For a better seal, I would suggest printing it at 3/8" instead.


I also preformed an integrity test to see how they would hold up when wet; as you can see from the time stamps, this chip and hologram were submerged in water for about 12 minutes and worked as it should.


As I am not a registered money transmitter, the chips will not be funded. If you need help on how to generate a private key, I am happy to help walk you thru the process. The sets are numbered sequentially, i.e. the first set is 001, 002, 003, 004, 005 - second set 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, etc; there were a total of 500 chips made (100 possible sets).

A set of 5 chips are $40 shipped in the US or $45 for international. I am only selling full sets at this time. Each chip will be encased in an Air-tite and carefully packaged and will include 2 matching serialized holograms; if you only need one hologram for your chip, then I suggest shredding the second to avoid potential theft of your private key.

Also, for all sales made before October, I will donate 20% of the total sales to Breast Cancer Research Foundation (https://www.bcrf.org/),(hence the color pink); the funds will be sent to BCRF and proof will be provided on this thread. The pink chips are special for women, as they convey an urgency to eradicate a horrible cancer affecting many women (and men) today Smiley

After October, I will sell the chips individually for $8 shipped in the US or $9 internationally.

Payments can be sent to the following address (do not send funds to any address other than the ones listed here in the OP)

For those on mobile devices, QR code to the same address here:



if you want to pay via Bitcoin lightning payments, I can accept those as well - just ask for an invoice.

Please post the number of sets you want and your txn id in your comments.

100 sets available - you may request any series of 5 numbers providing the sequence ends in a multiple of 5 and has not been taken already as per the list below.

Set 1     (numbers 001 thru 005) kept by myself

6093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: question concerning a type of raffle on: August 19, 2020, 11:45:20 PM

Do you plan on making a sole website for this or would just make a thread on this forum just like on what we do saw on common giveaway or lottery thread?


It would be on the forums.


This is still gambling though in a good cause. The only issue is who would organize and facilitate the draw? This could be done in this forum too, with a bunch of trusted members who built their reputation over time and proved themselves worthy of some trust. Anyway, you, the OP can do this and just provide us with a list of charities you have in mind should you continue with the idea. Also it will be good if people can choose numbers for their own at a first-come-first-serve basis to ‘at least’ give a little freedom to participants on this lottery.

Totally doable and a nice concept, since I know most gamblers here are itching to play new stuff.

Thank you - when I post it, the post will contain a list of charities - when people join the raffle/lottery they would post their transaction id and mention the charity they would like to see receive the funds - count those like votes, the charity with the most mentions will be the one that funds go to.


Yes it could be a good idea but half of the bets going to a third party, it's huge and most people won't be interesting by a house edge as big as that.
20% or 10% would be more attractive IMHO

As stated a few other posts up - I would entertain the idea of having maybe 4-5 winners and providing 75%-80% to the winners with 25%-20% going to the charity.

I will be taking zero percentage - some may find that hard to believe but having lost 2 family members to COVID and at least 6 family members to various forms of cancer, I already make personal donations to several agencies. This idea was spurred when I read about an unnamed early bitcoiner that made a fortune and decided to give vast quantities to various charities - while I do not have vast amounts of Bitcoin to do that with, I would like to see the crypto community do something similar - now if I need to offer a prize, so be it Smiley I cannot fault that at all.

I will be looking to do this start of September.

I don't think that we shall or have to post the txid for our purchase here  Cheesy
I did not know where else to post it to verify my payment was sent

my guess was: purchase order # -> funding via order # -> different payment-addresses for the respective order #s

yogg, may you bring light into the dark?  Huh Smiley

thank you  Smiley

maybe the "pay to" address is generated separately for each order - if so, it would be very simple to see who paid and who did not.

Finally able to complete my collection of all 3 sets, hope they all age well  Grin

very nice! congrats!
6096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: question concerning a type of raffle on: August 19, 2020, 01:59:21 PM
Would this be considered gambling? Is there even a chance that this could or would work here on the forums?

Yes this is definitely gambling because you put in 10$ and have a 1/100 chance of winning, like any lottery. I think this is a good idea for this forum. There are many trusted users here who would easily function as escrow and another for lottery management. Some part of the winning would need to be used as fees for the two.

The only problem I would assume would be choosing which numbers to pick. Easiest would be if you assign the 100 participants a random number but I bet people would prefer to choose their own numbers. But then most people would try to pick their lucky numbers like 3,6, 13, or 19. It could be hard to fill all 100 numbers.

I do not need escrow (I provide escrow on these forums) I also do not need someone to manage it (I will) and there is no fee for myself - the goal is to raise funds for a charity not myself.

I was thinking to let people pick their own numbers - I do see your point in that some may not participate if they do not get their number - so that would be an issue as well if the numbers were randomly assigned as well.
6097  Economy / Collectibles / Re: [ANN/WTS]3rd Halving Coldkey - Copper variant avail - Gold/Silver/Copper variant on: August 19, 2020, 01:44:36 PM
Hello everyone !

The Copper variant is now available for purchase on the Coldkey website shop !
A limit of 1 set per customer for the first 72 hours of listing is in place. Smiley

After, this hard limit of 1 per person will be removed.

Shipping for these sets of Coldkeys starts on the 24th of August.



More updates to come in other threads ..

nice! thanks for posting now to hope they lost long enough for me to convert some crypto to fiat so I can order

btw it told me my coupon code "yoggrules" is no good --- I cannot see why that is a not a valid coupon code Smiley

edit - ordered mine but these cards do not come funded? like the other sets? it is telling me to send funding for the cards.

edit - I understand why this is.
6098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: question concerning a type of raffle on: August 19, 2020, 04:11:12 AM
Idk much about how the blocks work, or their sequence for that matter, but does it guarantee that all numbers from 0-99 show up on the future blocks? Just asking!

With regards to the possible outcome, yes 0-99 will be available since we will select the last 2 number characters in the blocks. If I am not mistaken, some raffle have already done this and the most famous one is from krogothmanhattan.
 
I am just not sure if there will be someone that will manage this because it is a big task to manage a lottery, to be always updated without anything to get. Perhaps, we could allot a small percentage of the pool to someone who wants to manage.

Though, I like the idea of this kind of raffle, it will help us allot with just small amount of BTC and if we lose, we know that a charity will benefit from it.

I am not looking for someone to manage it, I plan to manage it myself - Just curious if there was interest and for ideal on how to improve my original idea.
6099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: question concerning a type of raffle on: August 19, 2020, 03:24:50 AM

1. decreasing the number of slots - ok so not 100 - what about 50?
2. allowing people to put in more - I like this because everyone could put in what they want, what they are willing to risk. The winner(s) are still entitled to half the pot - I say winner(s) because of the next point
3. having more than one winner - maybe do 5 winners? where each get 15% - and this is more than 50% which is the next point I liked
4. increasing reward ratio from 50% to 75% - with 25% going to the charity. I would like to give more to a charity but I understand that if the ratio is too low, there are not enough joining and thus nothing goes to the charity


1.50 slots is considerable but the amount shouldnt really be on fixed ones.
2.It would be unfair on general sense yet you do bet more but you do get equal prize.
3.Its preferable and much be more preferred rather than on seeing just 1 winner.
4. Even 80% would do and 20% would go to charity.

Its good that you do have considered on listening up on community feedbacks.

1. in a community of thousands, I do not think 50 is that much but maybe it is?
2. true with multiple winners it would not be fair to make the prizes equal in that regard. so possible set limit on price per entry - but maybe allow people who want to risk more to be able to buy more than one slot?
3. agreed.
4. maybe 75-80 %

@OP, do you think you can make it even one round of this lottery of yours? There are pretty good suggestions here and maybe try it. You will see what kind of attention you will get if you will make it happen. But if this will end up in talks only, you will not get further useful feedbacks because we don't know what went wrong, right?

I do plan on trying to do one yes. whether it works or not we will see. I will plan to post it around first of September.

good idea on linking them, I did look them all up and post their status on funding and such but did not think to keep the links.

The site I used allowed me to just add all the addresses at once and it pulled their status in one shot.
