I should also add ....

I may ask for proof of funds, if someone new is bidding (apologies, I want to do this auction just once). Newbies willing to prove funds are welcome to bid though

I reserve the right to reject bids from or deny sale to any individual for any reason. (like, but not limited to, not proving funds if asked)

This auction is for a coin from my collection, with all proceeds going to Zephers family.

Payment will be to 3KiqJpTueWvupFgrAg4Beski1UK47pMP5e, an escrow wallet being held by Minerjones. Funds will be converted to Paypal and passed to Zephers mum (any none auction donations can also be sent here)

The coin is a Casascius 1 BTC Error coin, 12NyPe5S https://casascius.uberbills.com/?address=12NyPe5SjG8spB2w1p3VJYBfX77XTRoben
As you can see from Uberbills, this coin was funded on the 7th of September 2011, the very first day that Casascius coins were funded. A special coin, you seldom see these for sale. Unpeeled, fully funded with 1BTC (+ forks)

The coin is ANACS graded, MS65, reference 4904759. There is a mark on the brass side at the bottom of the BTC .

So please dig deep, help out Zephers family at the toughest of times, and also get yourself a piece of history

RIP Zepher

Drop me a PM.  Located in the UK

8 and f please. I will sort you a payment in a bit

Its taken me a while to post here. I had hoped to find some words that would be appropriate, but there arent really any

Zepher was the bitcoiner that lived closest to me (actually very close). So I got to see him fairly often, have a cuppa, put the world to rights, and show off the collectables. I will miss that incredibly.

Z had had his health problems for a long time, and they took their toll on him in many ways. But unless you knew, you would never guess. He had gotten used to carrying on regardless.

As many people had said, in his periods of good health, Z sure knew how to party. He would have a good time, and make sure those around him did as well.

He loved this place, and the people he became close to through it. It has been very reassuring seeing everyone rally round. His family have taken great comfort from all of the kind messages they have received from people all over the world they dont know. It has shone a light to a part of his life that they didnt know much about, and they have been pleasantly surprised by the high regard people here held Z in. I know he would have liked that a lot

He was a black or white kind of a guy. No inbetweens. Fiercely protective of this forum, and happy to have his account painted red, if it meant he was saving someone else from the risk of being scammed

I will miss him a lot. I will miss talking about something and nothing, just chewing the fat, having a laugh.

Taken far too young, gone but not forgotten. Rest in Peace Zepher

I'd like to see this happen. I agree to it being a silver 1oz coin

Then need to decide if it is a token - ie just metal, or if it could have the potential to be funded - ie private key and hologram (and then decide if it is funded, or DIY)

My thoughts are that I would love a funded coin, but the expenses and trust issues may make this trickier. Something like the Casascius St Petersburg Bowl coin may be more practical. BUT a bitcointalk forum coin, without bitcoin .... doesnt seem right.

DIY funding with holo would get my vote

I am one of those people. 

This project is far from being a scam

Public beta has just been released for the app. Roadmap is strong

Many people on here know my identity.  I don't hide it in any trades I make, but equally I don't shout about it either.

I am one of the largest holders of vividcoin,  all purchased at or after launch. I run many masternodes supporting the network

You are welcome to DM me if you have any concerns related to vivid. Hopefully I can put your mind at rest

You clearly have a 'bee in your bonnet' - but this appears related to other things outside of vivid, but you have chosen to take a swipe here,  rather than what is really your annoyance. 

Many people are working hard to continue the strong progress already made. Your accusations are unfounded and misplaced.

Good work fella. 

Sign me up if any spaces left LC.  Happy New Year bud

Are these in Europe?

61 please krogo.  Thanks
