Oh, that's a crazy cool piece of art (the skull-sculpture). Here is a video in case OPs link doesn't work for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0mQ7CxyICwbtw: Ridiculous idea to just change some code to reduce Bitcoins energy consumption by 99%. PoW or what exactly is this "amazing idea"? |

Received mine and can confirm, they do look as great as it seems from the pics. If implemented in a great routine, these coins could be awesome for some EURO-coin-magic. Maybe a little too valueable of a coin to use, but still... |

All the same, 6 minutes for level 1 is not enough. I did not have time to enjoy the game during these 2 hours. In any case, it was a pleasure to see you all and I hope to see you next Sunday.  Congrats to our winner and the runner-ups. Wasn't able to participate but trying my best next time. Knockout bounties sound like a fun extra, but any kind of community tournament is appreachiated. |

Oh yes, count me in please.

Transaction id coming soon, I can send payment tomorrow the latest if that's okay.
Thanks for another raffle!

Lot 1: .011 - note the CI does have some discoloration of the Silver on the edges but still a very cool item and happy to bid.
Lot 2: .003
Yeah, I noticed many / most (?) CI coins tend to have these tarnishes after a while. Is it the capsules that come originally with them or something on the coin / minting process? I wouldn't even consider it an impairment, since it's so common with CIs. And, on a side note: Amazing collectible photography again. @Eclipse: Could you mabe create a video / slideshow with some of your photos? - Could be a cool way to show off crypto collectibles and maybe increase awareness / interest. |

Its funny you post this today. I actually sent them an email earlier saying how much i liked their coins but how i thought their load value was a slap in the face. They responded and said they appreciated the feedback and would take it under advisement. Eveyone should write them and request higher load values or even buyer funded.
Thanks for the engagement. Agreed, with more community effort we may have a chance to make them think about their target audience a little more. I guess normal coin-collectors don't care at all about if and how many sats are on that silver coin. But we do! |

Still need to create a betnomi account. Are there any promos currently running?
Or any sign-up / promo codes out there for a new betnomi account.
And has it been decided yet, how many Icarus tournaments will run?

Man, this one looks very cool again. And I like 2 oz, but it's still quite overpriced especially since the loading is just a pure gimmick and nothing substancial. @MJ Did you grade any of their other coins (Doge or BTC liberty coins)? I wonder if they got high grades. |

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/02/secret-crawlspace-cryptomine-discovered-in-routine-inspection-of-ma-high-school/that the mining operation had stolen nearly $18,000 in electricity from the district. CPD said that Nahas is presumed innocent until convicted in a court of law, but they found probable cause to charge Nahas with vandalizing the school and “fraudulent use of electricity.” Makes you wonder how much of this is out there. Not the miner or 2 running in an office. But a more than a dozen or so that are shown in the picture. Plenty of older buildings out there with power and ducting going who knows were as things were moved and reconstituted and changed over years and years of needing to have different things configured in different spaces. -Dave Since it's cheap to get out-of-date mining hardware I would guess there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands illegal mining activities running at this moment. Most of them probably teens leeching electricity from their parents and overheating their poor GPUs for some mili-ETH. But just recently I heard about an IT guy working at a university nearby, who had some ASICs running alongside some real servers. And there are probably so many more similar activities that are going unnoticed. Nice for decentralization, not so great if individuals are directly affected - but my guess is it's usually large companies or public place (-> tax payers) that are getting drained. Otherwise it would quickly ring some alarm bells as soon as the latest energy bill is presented. |

Tell me of your experience in buying goods or services IRL for Bitcoin, please. Like I did purchased ProtonVPN service with BTC for example. I'm interested in total revenue one may get using Bitcoin as a legal tender or money per se.
Even though I like to hodl, sometimes it's just very convenient to pay in BTC. You should check the collectibles board, most auctions and deals are paid in BTC. Personally I have used BTC to use a food-delivery service, pay some smaller online purchases (mostly via Bitpay) and even once paid at a local coffee shop that accepted some crypto. All are easy and convenient experiences. |

finally! from betnomi side now the date has been fixed to march 26th. so we can say that the first round will start on the said date (sunday). the password (which you can find in the second post) works now too.   therefore the further information looks as follows:  re-buys i actually didn't want to have unlimited but limit to the first 45 minutes. maybe icopress could forward this to betnomi again? or do you guys think that re-buys should be possible until the end of the tournament? and as i can see, you can already register for the first tournament starting tomorrow Exciting! Thanks for the update. Not sure if I can make it but I'll just try to be there in any case. Time to create a betnomi account I guess.  Good luck at the tables. |

ich habe das buch auch noch nicht gelesen und habe genau wie KW die veröffentlichung über diverse tweets mitbekommen aber was ich sagen kann, ist dass Ijoma Mangold sehr viel ahnung und eine sehr interessante sicht auf Bitcoin hat. ich habe letztes jahr bei der BTC22 in innsbruck seinen vortrag mit großer interesse live und in farbe verfolgt und wer möchte, kann diesen hier nochmal sich anschauen: Bei BITCOIN haben alle was zu sagen | Ijoma Mangold live @ BTC22 – Die Bitcoin KonferenzOha, danke für diesen Link. Ich mag seine sehr eigene und doch oft recht tiefsinnige Art über Dinge zu sinnieren, das Video schau ich mir morgen in Ruhe an. Bin schon sehr gespannt. |

It depends on what you call large amounts. For medium amounts 0.01 to maybe 0.25 (something in that range), I'd recommend to check out the decentralized exchange software bisq. It's been mentioned before, but I also want to endorse it. You can find all relevant info here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5430964.0 |

You have to hold this one in your hands. It is insanely heavy, just massive and a badass loaded collectible.
One of kind thing, nothing compareable out there.
I'm sure just the right collectors haven't been on the forum yet, this is gonna be gone soon.

I own one titan BTC with priv key afixed to the coin. Read some of you guys so understood it was a scam.
Does this also affect non 2FA coin or did the guy just scammed all customers?
Last check ive made 1 year ago show the coin was funded with 1 BTC.
As far as I know there are no know issues (so far!) with private-key coins. I'd also recommend you download an address tracker software, so you can have your public keys checked by just looking in your app. For iOS: https://satpile.com/Android: https://samouraiwallet.com/sentinel |

Just a quick shoutout, this is a massive and impressive donation, Max! And on a side note, love these pieces. The incorporated ASIC chips are just next-level. Out of my range, but this one will surely find huge interest among some of our collectors here. |

Crypto ATMs are having high commission rate comparing with the exchange trading fees but if the exchange doesn't have any KYC requirement for buying and selling then its worth celebrating and hopefully the ATMs will increase across the world so the emergency withdrawal can be more convenient.
But what about the regulations and how much the commission rate, is it affordable or unfair?
I think most people are using Bitcoin ATM because they're curious and want to get experience, but it's not for long term usage when they're have many choices. The commission rate of Bitcoin ATM is unfair because you're overpaid the fee, when the Bitcoin network is busy, the fee will increase too. Bitcoin ATM seems successful because not many people know the place to trade Bitcoin via P2P, but when Bitcoin already adopted as legal tender and it's already common to use Bitcoin. It's either Bitcoin ATM will bankrupt or they will adjust the commission rate. Agreed on the high rates, it's annoying and will keep most serious investors away for now. However I think there are some very "valid" reasons for this: - Currently Bitcoin ATMs are a high-risk business, it's still very niche and most people are probably very skeptic when encountering such an ATM - usually only small amounts are traded via ATMs - these businesses are mostly small start-ups. Hardware and software maintanance are not easy, unless they are already esablished on the market for a longer time, so they probably need to get their initial investments back - it's still such a tiny market, you won't find much competition, so they are not really incentivised to have competitive rates. All this should change to the better over time, resulting in lower, more competitive rates (compared to regular exchange rates). |
