But the odd thing is there aint much competency needed to take coins put them in a box and ship them to person A, B, C...etc. Likely not Mike's fault from the looks of it. I know and like I said, I'm not blaming Mike, I'm blaming Stryde for failing to put a coin in a box, slapping an address on it and sending it out. Agreed. I am not blaming Mike for anything, still a big fan. I would just appeal that he would sell the coins from his own webpage or here on the forum next time he release a coin. I know this is s football coin, so it is properly part of the deal that stryde have the rights to sell the coin. Nevertheless I will hesitate by ordering from Stryde again, I had problem in pretty much every step of the process... I am expecting nothing less that my coins has actually been tossed around like football before it was placed in the slap and shipped to me. Other than not getting the discount, I paid with BTC and they shipped pretty much as stated a week and a half later, but I see several have had issues since. Guess I was lucky. What I'm curious about, is if their remaining stock is all they have, or if it's going to be reloaded with more once the next 57 are sold. |

Pictured with "The Hive" is the BTC that is from pretty much every Casascius picture/video. The Orange BTC (Signed by Casascius) is what I told WoodCollector to base this on for size. I was going to hang The Hive next to it, but it would just make Mike's look bad lol.
I would display these side by side. Mike's was clearly the inspiration, so the two pieces together tell a more complete story, one that is still unfolding. Just my two bits. |

Admiring this made me think I should bump it.

I kinda like it, like the bottom was "dipped" in gold.

Yes, if the defect is factory.
From what I read on the prior post, his coin appears the gold had been scratched (mishandled).
I purchased many of the coins, and I am happy with them overall. That's not to say I wouldn't have chosen to swap out a couple had I been in a shop buying them, more specifically due to the premium paid on them. I have more of an issue with the cases used. I would highly suggest cleaning up the flashing before shipping them out.
I'm quite new to coin collecting/selling...what is the flashing that should be cleaned, the whole case, or just the part that touches the coin?   This is the one with the gold on the bottom rim spilling into the coin, as well as a little spill over off the BTC. On the back at the top it appears there is a burn mark, but doesn't look damaged from a drop or anything. |

I started mining this pretty early from initial launch, and my holdings are literally worth about $5.00 now, so if you want to re-work the code to get this ship sailing again, by all means, make it worth something. I think the goal should be to get onto Shapeshift.io as quickly as possible, and they are connected with Cryptsy (don't know how much, possibly just API).
That way, Amagi and any other bullion dealer can easily work with KDC, because they can immediately convert it to BTC.
So anything you do to revive any life back into this project, you have my blessing, buyout and lets call it a "Bounty-mine" (Pre-mine sounds solely beneficial to the creator). Write some code, I'll try to let people know about it.
If the pre-mine was strictly a "bounty-mine" and the addresses and rewards were public and maybe even added to this thread, I think it'd go over better than if it's done at all privately, this coin was supposed to be 0% premine, but clearly that led to a lack of development, so bounties may be better, especially if those bounties included physical gold bullion.
It'd be awesome to make a physical KDC coin.
I'd rather see people invest btc into bounties versus seeing a bounty-mine of sorts. Should never use the currency we are trying to build up in the sense of coding more, it dilutes itself as we are now acting like the FED and printing money to ensure KDC success. Agreed that it's a one time deal, but see the parallel? Not a guarantee that people with think that this is a problem, it may not be. But even if Fuse coded in a million KDC, that's $300-400? The possible short-term negative impact could be more than the worth of the amount of KDC being put in a bounty-mine ---- unless he's buying gold with it, and there's not much gold he can buy with that. Credibility is still not the issue here, Fuse is the man and Criptoe is the team behind/with the man! The solution is to find investors with BTC in hand. It will take the faith of a few people with a few btc to spare. To do this, miners who are holding a LOT of KDC may be called upon to sell some of their stashs via escrow for BTC to be held by Criptoe, or issue promissary notes to those investors to be rewarded after KDC really kicks off. We need investment backing, not for price exploitation either. A small pump would be good to draw the crowd back to signal that KDC is back, mainly for the people watching the exchanges, but nothing to high. Moderation is key with that. And we're going to have to escrow all the gold and btc collected into a KDC, L.L.C. holding company. Time to get serious and official if we want KDC to live. That's down the road, yes, but it can't be too far down the road. So Fuse, if you want to code in the bounty-mine, go for it. While it's not going to affect the long term as it's a drop in the bucket, it's not going to affect the short term either unless KDC is worth more today or tomorrow, but short-term with with a chance of negative impact. If I'd start to invest $1000's in to KDC, I'd definitely want some of the bounty-mine, so that means you're going to have to sell the bounty-mine at a much higher price than what's available at cryptsy. I'm not saying I'm going to invest $1000's, but ya never know.  But that's the mindframe we need to have. Think about how GAW raised all the money to get where Garza is today with his bank investor guy, I forget his name at this moment, and aside from the other businesses Garza owns. But point is, GAW has financial backing up the arse. We need to replicate. I'd be really hesitant to use GAW as an example...scamming people isn't the way to do it either. His BS PR campaign and company that "bought" the domain BTC.com from his other company for 1million dollars so they could say they bought it for 1mil, when in fact, that money doesn't exist. I get how pre-mining is like the fed to some degree, which is why I expressed how I didn't like the idea to begin with, making it investor-centric seems like it games the system into becoming a pump and dump. I don't really know how to solve this issue, but like I said, don't use GAW's impressive snake oil sales as an example. |

This is awesome, why has no one commented on this post?!
All Physical wallets should be done like this.
Anyone skilled able to review the source code and verify that this is legit and secure?

I kinda hope they've done just well enough to deliver on the 2 for 1...then I'm out. Until they have a proven product in hand, I'm not doing pre-orders again on Asics.
This is also giving rise to a serious need for an open-source chip design. We need the Raspberry pi of ASICS, ultra-cheap, ultra reliable, and easily reproduced by the millions.
