Hey everyone,

Sorry for this. Please let's keep it formal.

This is very unfortunate as the pandemics completely disrupts our operation.
I was initially planning to unfold our plans to offer to our EU customers to fund their Coldkeys with fiat, so we provide the BTC for you in exchange.
That'll have to wait for now.

---

Hey Liquidoptions, thanks for your input.

Yes indeed.
I understand that you don't mind waiting a bit, but the faster those parcels are out, the faster I'll be able to move onto our next plans.

So far, I am very happy to claim that since I operate on Bitcointalk, long before I started Coldkey, my shipping rate is a 100% success.
No parcel ever was lost, and I think it's partly due to many precautions I take.
I am not certain that there will be a 100% success for shipments going out during the lockdown.
I can't ship today like I did yesterday.

The cost of a subscription includes 3 x 10€ as a shipping fee.
Subscribers were charged and signed for a monthly shipment from us but exceptionally, there will be no shipping in April due to the pandemic.
We still process shipments for orders where UPS is chosen, as they operate as usual.

However this isn't something we can gift to all of you, so I need to ask everyone to wait a little bit more.
I will introduce the procedure to trigger the funding of your Coldkeys once you receive them nonetheless.
More security and safety appeals to me very much.
Following these instructions is an extra step for you, and extra work for me, but the safety of your funds is priceless to me.

I am sorry, but it's not possible to offer you a discount on the next Q3 2020 History Coldkey subscription, but here's what we can do :

1. I planned to enclose a 10€ discount voucher in every subscriber parcel.

If you are a subscriber, then you have a first voucher code to remove the shipping fee : all the orders you place in the meantime ships with the next monthly History parcel.
If you can wait, there's 10€ off one of our next Coldkey for you all.

2. We can refund a shipping fee (10€) to you, to make up for the April shipment that was charged for but didn't happen.
If this is what you prefer, please reach out to us with an email or through our "Contact Us" form on the website, and indicate your subscription order number.

If you prefer only one single shipment in June, we can refund two shipping fees to you (20€).
This implies that if you use the voucher to order and remove the shipping fee between today and June's release, all your orders will be delivered in a single parcel in June.

Thanks for reading and please feel free to share any idea or concern you may have.

Apparement la solution serait dans les cures d'UV. Un bon teint, ça aide.
Ha, et s'injecter de l'eau de javel aussi ou autre désinfectant, ça marche selon le président orange.

Y'aurait il un volontaire atteint du covid-19 dans l'assistance pour essayer ces solutions dans lesquelles tant d'espoirs sont placés ?

Hello everybody,

Thank you so much for your understanding and your tremendous support during these uncertain times.

Given all of your feedbacks, I decided not to ship.
Your opinion weighted a lot, thank you for sharing it with me.

It was a good call, as yesterday I got an email from La Poste.
They informed their customers about a few things.

1) They start operating for a 4th day in the week from now.
(They did work only three days as of last week and since the lockdown)
2) They are at least one week behind schedule in the international sorting center.
3) They asked to refrain sending non-vital goods, and especially to 3 countries : USA, Canada and Japan.
It was mentioned that delivery times for these destinations is very much impacted.

This is very uncomfortable to retain so many orders. However there is hope for things to get better very soon.

---

Don't worry please. Your parcels are here, with your Coldkeys (and much more).
Your bits are safe : they are sitting on their funding addresses. I take this very seriously.

Sometimes it's hard for me to reply to all of you individually;
please do not take this personally and feel free to reach out to me again if I didn't reply.

---

I'll be implementing a new loading feature with a two factor mechanism to trigger the loading of the Coldkeys.
The point is to make sure the person who picked up the parcel is the person who placed the order and who funded it.

---

That is Indeed a great point. I definitely don't want this.
It weighted a lot in my choice of finally not sending the parcels.

I wanted to ship them because they're ready, and the shipping labels are valid until a certain time.
They are valid until the 14th of May for most parcels. I expect things to get much better by that point.
I will most likely reopen them to add the May History Coldkeys for subscribers.

Thank you for everything.

Hello everyone,

This is a quick update.
First of all, I apologize to all of you for the lack of communication on my end, but I didn't know what to say to you and how to address the situation.
I needed some time.

The unforeseen events that are unfolding through the world made things very complicated for me right now; as it most likely did for most of you and many many other people as well ...
I hope you're all safe and healthy.

Everything is more difficult, everything is slower and much more erratic these last days.
On monday, our lockdown has been extended for 4 more weeks (until the 11th of May).
Things are not likely to get back to normal before that date as people are still encouraged to stay home, allowed to go outside only for a limited set of precise purposes.

Several parcels with supplies that were headed to our company made their way back to their senders with no reason.
Apart from parcels handled by private courier companies (UPS, DHL, GLS..) we didn't receive a single item / letter by the regular Post since the beginning of April.
(I personally got zero letter to my mailbox this month)

Given the situation, the whole makes me very weary about shipping your Coldkeys loaded.
I don't want to hope that your order will make its way through to you.
The probability for something to go wrong there is very high and I hate it, but that's how it is. Precautions are needed.

We'll have to unfold the April History Coldkey release a bit differently, and possibly the next upcoming May release as well, depending on the situation.

TLDR ;
Your parcels will ship ASAP but not loaded; we will still collect the funding for orders where it's missing and proceed further.
I'll ask you to confirm the proper retrieval of your Coldkeys with an email so I proceed with funding them only when you have them.
You will receive your tracking very soon in an email from Coldkey, along with more information about what to do when you have received your parcel.

I am very sorry about the situation, it is much unfortunate.
Thank you for your comprehension and for all your support.

Please stay safe.

Mis à part trouver un peu plus d'espace pour que la paire de cojones de l'OP se sente moins comprimée, il n'y a aucun interêt à ce post.

Oscar en mode :

Only 12 April History Coldkey left for grab on our website !
I cannot thank enough all of our customers who already bought theirs.

---

Hey Viz !

Super happy that these appeal to you. Yes, RYR did an awesome job on these !
I have removed 3 from our inventory and will send you a PM soon.

Thank you

---

Hello SatsLife !

Thanks a lot for purchasing the April History Coldkey.
I hope you will like it, like the rest of our Coldkey line.

---

Hey cygan !
Thanks much for proceeding with the funding in a timely manner.
This wee is still a bit of a havoc here in France, the postman isn't coming everyday to collect the outgoing mail.
Please don't worry : I am making everything ready so all parcels ship to everyone this week.

Thank you very much everybody.

Boah, pour ma part je vais en rester au bon vieux format papier.
J'sais pas, l'idée qui consiste à dire quand je sort et pourquoi sur un site en .gouv.fr me hérisse le poil ...
Non que j'ai quelque chose à cacher, juste car je vois à quel point c'est simple de collecter des données sur les habitudes des gens.

"Aucune information n'est collectée par le Ministère de l'Intérieur."..... 😏😏😏

Merci.

Nan, je l'avais pas compris. J'aime les phrases simples et concices.
Bon ça va, on a de la marge alors.

Erf.
La question n'est pas de savoir si c'est une gripette ou pas, ni de projetter des stats actuelles sur des populations.
La question, c'est à partir de quand ce n'est plus une gripette pour toi.
Je suis pas forcément d'accord avec tout, et la réponse à la question de asche m'intéresse aussi.


Projetons un exemple absurde pour bien expliquer la question : si 90% de la population y passe, c'est toujours une gripette ?
Si non, quel est pour toi le seuil gripette/pas gripette ?

Hey cygan !

Thanks a lot for your questions.
Well, the new April 2020 Coldkey has been listed on our website yesterday.
We will send an email about the funding to subscribers in a short time, and all orders that are complete will ship out next week.

Yesterday night I started making the post to announce it here but couldn't manage to get it right like I wanted; I gave up to sleep on it.
(Also the funding tool wasn't ready to collect funding for these, I had to delay it a little bit)

The Free Shipping voucher code for subscribers is one of the perks.
We will very soon introduce our loyalty program.
Everyone who subscribed for Q1 & Q2 2020, or who purchased all the History Coldkeys for Q4 2019 and Q1 2020 will receive a gift in the next parcel.
I hate to admit that it won't be as polished as I would love it to be, but still, it will be a very practical gift for all of you Coldkey collectors.  

Thank you very much everyone !

Thank you very much my bovine friend. I'll put 1 on the side for you.
Yes ! Looking forward to finally see you in person as well ! Hopefully Coinfest UK 2021 will be it !

---

Hey condoras !

Your order will be dispatched during next week.
Our courier was coming to get the outgoing mail on a daily basis before the lockdown.
I have been informed yesterday that now he comes every two days.

Absolutely. You should have received a confirmation email (check your spams maybe..).
Also, you will receive your tracking number by email next week once your order has departed.

Thanks for purchasing a Coldkey !
I hope you will like it.

Thank you Krogoth !
Yes, we also think it will be a reference to a historical event.
What's unfolding right now couldn't be predicted and will likely shape the world further on.

---

Gasp ...  I don't know. Might be allergies to pollen, it's the season after all haha.

Anyway, all precautions are taken :



Parcels will be put in quarantine during some time anyway, while they ship to their destinations.

Please I'd like spot 63

63 - yogg

Thank you !

Ca sent le début de la fin.  
Et ça évolue.

Argh.

Asche en quarantaine plz. Schnell bitte.

EDIT : Bah voila j'suis infecté aussi.

Habal
Putain, notre patient 0.

Ou est la section de confinement ?
Pourquoi les autorités tardent tant à communiquer sur le sujet ? Quels sont les conséquences ?

Y'a t'il des profils porteurs et contagieux mais asymptomatiques ?

Oui. Le RIB est certainement traficoté pour matcher avec les infos sur les autres documents.
En vrai quand tu fais un virement SEPA, le nom est pas vérifié automatiquement.

Tu peux dire que le bénéficiaire est Marcel alors qu'en vrai ça arrivera sur un compte ouvert au nom d'Arthur, ça passe.

Fais gaffe, car en cas de scam c'est pas dit que ta banque roll-back le virement que tu as émis.
(Porter plainte, assurance, toussa toussa ...)

Please

Thank you for the wonderful picture of the set, sir Mantis !!
It rendered very nicely. Thanks !

Thank you soo much to everyone who subscribed for the next release of History Coldkey !
The subscription plan will be unavailable sometime tomorrow.

The release will be announced on the 3rd of April; in the mean-time all subscribers will receive an email about the funding.
This time is again mandatory to fund the History Coldkey with BTC.
To all our customers within the EU:  for May you will be able to supply the funding in €€€ with SEPA Direct Debit.
More information about this in the email about the funding.

We have a very special surprise for all of our subscribers who were in for Q1 2020 and subscribed again for Q2 2020 !

---

The March History Coldkey will be unavailable on the 5th of April, 1 month after release.

Shipping will happen next week for all orders that have been funded.
Thank you !

Hey owlcatz
Thanks for the test !! I'm glad it worked as planned.

Hah !
Yes, when making my tests I also noticed that blockcypher push transaction feature will accept the transaction even if non-final.

However, the bond works as expected : no miner will include the locked transaction into a block until it has properly matured;
if they did, that block would be rejected by the network since it includes an invalid transaction.

---

Thanks so much Chibi for testing the Cryptobond. Very cool that it worked as well !
I wasn't around much these last days, as I don't come to the office anymore because lockdown but yeah a chat is long over due now.
I'll ping you soon.

---

We are currently making the first release of Cryptobonds ready for you soon.
I expect them to be available sometime during April but definetely May at the latest.

Thank you everyone !
