Zepher - V8 @ 1.2 BTC
Zepher - W8 @ 0.133 BTC - OUTBID
Hi Bobby, I have been outbid on W8 already, please invalidate my bid on V8, I will shortly make a bid for several of the 0.1's. This is due to the mintages changing after the auction started. Hope you understand. Thanks, Zepher |

Ok, so I've briefly looked up adobe key verifications and am still confused about somethings... mostly because they are referring to windows OS's and the fact that there seems to be a variety of ways of doing these sorts of things.
For one thing where do we get Mike's public key information through Adobe? Secondly I'm on Linux, and when I look for attachments included in the PDF, it's grayed out and so I would assume either there are no attachments with his signature, or I might not have the right software for opening the attachments.
These are questions I personally cannot answer at this moment in time. I do know however that No_2 has been around a long time, and this sale is 100% legit. I am hoping someone else can explain how Adobe signatures work for us.
Then I don't know if the writing up in the top left is what you use to verify things as well... sometimes I've seen in tutorials that people actually sign things and include it in the pdf. Soo... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For those that didn't download the zip due to it's size, here's the pdf certificate for the 1 BTC coins (sorry for the really big picture):
I'm not questioning whether this is legit or not, I'm just curious to know how adobe signatures work and how I could be able to prove the signature to someone else if need be.
I am sure we will have answers to these questions very soon. Btw thank you for uploading that magnificent scan.  |

Positive trust is so hard to earn in this forum and is controlled by a select few who are listed in DefaultTrust. Trading alone with them wouldn't be sufficient for you to receive the green feedback; some of them only leave neutral points no matter how trustworthy you've become to them, thus cutting off your chances to be a part of the DefaultTrust list. While the trust settings on this forum seem to be easy to comprehend, it would only get complicated for those who are just starting out their brands since it will be called out multiple times by DT members if something doesn't look right on one's offerings.
The most important thing to keep in mind while doing business in this forum is to trust no one. Even people in the DT can fuck you up, see TradeFortress.
I have given you 1 merit for the very last line in your post: Trust No-one.Any single individual can scam you, no matter how trustworthy they appear, The key to avoid being scammed (even by escrows such as myself and minerjones) is to check recent posts and transactions, and even then - if you are not 100% convinced that it is actually Zepher or minerjones you are talking to, ask for a signed Bitcoin Message or PGP message. Our PGP keys are on our profile pages. To address the first part of your post - No, trust is not hard to earn. Remember that the Trust Network was created solely for use in the "Marketplace" - not the rest of the forum. Elsewhere in this forum; yes - it is extremely hard to earn trust. If you have goods for sale, sell them in the appropriate place. If you complete the deal right, the other party will usually leave you appropriate feedback. Zepher |

Thanks for your offer friend, came on I have removed reserve price, and please respect minimum bid increments of 0.05 btc It really doesn't matter at this stage that you have removed your reserve price. All your messing about, using another members private bid to adjust your reserve price for the bar, etc etc - has put a LOT of people off dealing with you. I'm actually surprised Otoh is still prepared to. GL with your auction. Z |

Just a note that currently I don't have any update for you, I am still waiting for No_2 to reply to my PM.
The moment I have anything to share, everyone involved will be the first to know.
Cheers,

I have gone through roughly ~10 of the coins in the zip file No_2 uploaded, and every single coin is immaculate. You are more than welcome to download the zip yourself to view every single photo yourself. Each coin has 6 photographs that each buyer will receive for each coin purchased!! Multiply that by 45 coins and I have 270 photo's here, all of which are such high resolution they are taking up half a GB of space on my hard drive  Crikey. Will be deleting all the coins that are not mine once this is sorted...damn! I am only uploading this picture for now, chosen at random, as an example of quality that you are guaranteed to receive:  From The Casascius Uberbills Analyzer - for this specific coin. Click for all the info you need. Coin was funded in the very last batch on January 8th 2014. This is the case on all ~10 coins I have checked. Some have received dust payments from addresses like 1Sochi (Sochi Olympics in 2014 I am assuming?) and others, but that does not harm the coin's value in any way whatsoever. Balance on this specific Casascius 2013 Brass 1 BTC Coin: Exactly 1 Bitcoin - Full BTC Address for this Coin: 13MkUQzFZSfnpQvZyB4GD9vvFqc8vvT72U
Ticked - 1 x 0.5 BTC* Anonymous - 19 x 1 BTC* Zepher - 5 x 0.5 BTC.* Lesbian Cow - 5 x 1 BTC, 5 x 0.5 BTC.* minerjones - 5 x 0.5 BTC* BitMiner713 - 2 x 0.5 BTC* krogothmanhattan - 1 x 0.5 BTC* AT101ET - 1 x 0.5 BTC* phishhead - 1 x 1 BTC* * - These are all on the basis that we come to an agreement on price everyone is happy with.
This is the final count for the coins, and amounts allocated to each person etc. I am unable to give you a price yet as negotiations are on-going, so please bare with me while I try secure these coins for us. The moment I have news, you will all be informed. Please have sufficient BTC ready to send once/if a deal is confirmed, as I will want to meet No_2 to complete this within 48hrs (from deal agreed) if No_2 agrees with this too. I will ask everyone to make payment to my usual address posted here, in my signature, and on my profile. That address is: 1ZephertJThxkHih7XcaUHBkMSnvkTt5u.
Signed message to verify this is actually Zepher: -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is Zepher and the current date is Friday 8 June 2018. This, my normal payment address, will be used for receipt of funds for the Casascius Group Buy from No_2. Once all payments are received, I will move the funds to my Trezor and post the txid. The coins will remain there until payment is made to No_2.
-----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----
Version: Bitcoin-qt (1.0)
Address: 1ZephertJThxkHih7XcaUHBkMSnvkTt5u
G3mCdv28qewe+odg4H1DqX9tSkBRIrCvBMEjq+CFGT4qKCDbCYJxAWE+nNzKDbYUiDv/Q7ColhE2vwAsLQXIgKU=
-----END BITCOIN SIGNATURE-----
The message verifies, but do NOT take my word for it - Verify Everything yourself.
I'm pretty confident that a deal can be done here, especially with us combining funds - and this way, EVERYONE pays the same price as everyone else. @No_2 - I am going to send you my phone number in a Privnote. Feel free to contact me anytime after 9am tomorrow morning. Thanks all. Zepher Hey, alright! \o/ Who says 'Anonymous' is dead? Obviously 'they' are still out there gallantly looking out for the little guy, like myself "Anonymous" isn't whoever you think it is I guarantee you, you won't be able to tell who this person is! The main thing is that you are getting a coin |

Ill jump in on the .5 btc train reserve list and if that doesn’t work Out I’m interested in a 1 btc. But I have a lot of questions about shipping and that sort of thing...
Also, I looked at the zip and I can’t really figure out the adobe thing. How can you prove it was from Mike based off a pdf?
Looks like you may be out of luck here bud, as it appears all coins are taken. I have just downloaded the ZIP and will look through it all now. The PDF's would have been signed with Mike's Adobe Key, which prove he made the COA's. I am more knowledgeable about PGP than Adobe, so I will let someone else answer that question for you. Edit: Shipping: For all US buyers, I will ship them all to either minerjones or Lesbian Cow (depends who is available) and they will have to distribute within the US. I will do all EU shipments. Ahh, darn Well I guess just keep me on the .5 and 1 btc “reserve list” and just let me know if someone backs out. Would love to have one of these as my first cas coin I will stick you on the reserve list for the 0.5 BTC, but "anonymous" has allowed you to have a 1 BTC if you want it.
I am going to be fair and give 2 x 0.5 BTC coins to the first 2 people on the 0.5 BTC reservation list. They would be krogothmanhattan, and AT101ET. That reduces my coins to 5 x 0.5 BTC's.
I have sent an opening offer to No_2, people involved will be kept informed of events. Thanks, Zepher |

Great coin, MJ!! Seeing this has got to suck for the original owner though... 25 BTC redeemed while worth..... $130 in total. Now nearly $200K.  |

Just wanted to clarify a few things. The coins have all been taken out of the paper tube the came in have been put into coin capsules to protect them from the air. This was done immediately upon receipt. They were not touched by hand during this process, but obviously Mike Caldwell at Cascascius may have handled them when he made the coins up, though these are from the last batch ever made and he started wearing gloves to protect the coins for the later batches. Please see the photos for details of each coins condition. They are basically as mint as they can be. The certificates of authenticity are not PGP (though Mike did offer these to some buyers in the early days). They are the later style of certificate, an PDF of a scan of the coins, whcih Mike made and then signed with his Adobe key which is registered to him. Please take a look at the certificates included in the pack I made available to download. I've also updated the title of the thread. Awesome. Thank you for the clarification there, No_2, and for the thread title change appreciate it. No matter what, if push comes to shove, I'll cover the others coins myself purely due to the condition yours are in/the way you have kept them/last batch/COA's etc. I know exactly what you mean about the PDF style COA's, and imo are just as good as a PGP Chain of Custody. The whole point is you don't get all of this when you buy a Casascius coin anywhere else. These are special for those reasons. I am sure this will fill soon, and then I will be in touch - and we can arrange a face to face. I'm based in Nottingham and can drive to wherever you are (don't care that I have doxed myself - QS has done it before anyway and I really don't give a shit ). We'll get this deal sorted bud. |
